Chapter 342
The First Heir
Anne was in a dilemma.
However, Philip did not think too much. He merely turned around to look at Dean Neale and said,
âDean Neale, this little boy doesnât have a spotâ¦â
Dean Neale chuckled lightly and replied, âItâs nothing, we have a special ward on the top floor.â
Philip nodded. âThank you for the trouble, Dean Neale.â
Dean Neale smiled. âItâs nothing.â
Then, Dean Neale and the doctors dismissed themselves.
Meanwhile, after Philip made another phone call, he over to Anne and said, âThe medical team will
arrive in Riverdale tomorrow.â
âTomorrow?â Anneâs hands became frozen.
She pushed her hair back behind her ears and said softly, âThank you.â
âYou donât have to be so courteous. Itâs something I should do. If you want to thank me take good care
of Mila.â
Philip chuckled. He was really fond of Anne and wanted to make her his sister.
The two of them stayed in the hospital for a bit before parting ways.
On the other hand, Martha had stayed awake since the day before and had not slept throughout the
entire night. She was ecstatic.
She stayed home for the entire day and admired the jade bangle. It was so pretty. The more she looked
at it, the prettier it became.
Charles was wearing his presbyopic glasses. After carefully looking at it, he exclaimed, âWhere did you
get that bangle? Itâs something special. It looks like itâs made of some type of jade thatâs glassy. Itâs
very valuable.â
Charles looked at it once more. It was a glassy jade bangle worth at least a few hundred thousand
bucks.
When Martha heard that, her face bloomed like a flower. She grabbed Charles and asked, âHow
much?â
Charles pondered for a while before saying, âIâm not sure, I guess at least a few hundred thousand
bucks. I remember seeing it on the TV once. There was one that looked exactly like this one and it
valued at 200 million bucks!â
â200 million?â
Martha covered her mouth in shock, and her eyes widened.
That much?
âThis one might be a replica. Nevertheless, the glassy jade itâs made of should be real. So, I guess
maybe at least a few hundred thousand.â
If it cost 200 million, it would not have appeared on Marthaâs wrist. Charles asked, âRight, where did
you get it?â
Martha felt very pleased with herself. She held her head up high as she said, âI got it from Philip. That
piece of trash was hiding such a gem. Thankfully, I went over to their place and had a look. If I hadnât
taken it, this bangle would have gone to waste.â
Martha was so happy. She had found this thing that cost a few hundred thousand bucks.
So what if it belonged to Philip?
He had been a spineless bum at her house for the past three years and never gave anything good to
her.
The bangle would suffice as compensation.
âPhilip gave it to you?â Charles asked.
âWould he have given it to me? I took it. I took their certificate of property ownership too. Iâm going to
give it to an agent this afternoon. That way, we can buy a hillside villa.â
Martha was joyous. She had everything planned.
As long as she could live in a hillside villa, she would be a rich woman.
When Charles heard this, he was shocked. He asked in astonishment, âYou took it? Isnât that stealing?â
Martha was not happy when she heard the word âstealingâ. Thus, she slapped Charles across the face
and said unhappily, âWhat are you talking about? Am I not allowed to enter my daughterâs house? Am I
not allowed to take a few things from my daughterâs house? I helped them pay half of their house, so
what if I took the bangle?â
After Martha finished yelling, she stood up, took her bag, and said angrily, âYouâre just an old codger.
Iâm going out!â
Having said that, Martha turned around and walked away. While shaking her bottom, she walked out of
the door.
Where was she going?
To flaunt, of course!
Early in the morning, she made a few calls and invited her sister along with a few of her friends for tea.
At that time, Philip arrived at his 70 to 80 square feet home after returning from the hospital.
He had come back to take some things and wanted to take a few fresh sets of clothes for Mila.
Hence, Philip went into the bedroom and picked out some clothes for his daughter. However, just as he
was about to leave, he noticed that something was amiss. The drawer had been opened by someone.
He pondered for a while before thinking, âDid a burglar come into the house?â
Quickly, he ran over and began to rummage through his drawers frantically.
The next instant!
The house was filled with rage and anger!
Philip gritted his teeth so hard that one could hear the sound of his teeth grinding together. Additionally,
an uncontainable rage could be seen in his eyes, and it was as if he was an infuriated lion.
The box was still there, but his motherâs bangle was gone!
It was the only item his mother had left him!
âAh!â
Philip roared furiously. His voice was like rumbling thunder as it resonated into the distance.
Consequently, the entire building began to shake!
Who did this?
Do they want to die?
