Chapter 345
The First Heir
It has to be said that the forces were capable of destroying an entire cityâs economy.
Even the eight great families of Capital City would crumble under the force
Giada was in Cirrus Villa when she got wind of this.
âMadam, the young master has deployed all of the Clarkesâ forces in Riverdale,â Giadaâs tall, slender,
and sexy personal assistant said humbly.
Giada got out of the bathtub that was over a hundred square feet and was covered in rose petals. She
put on her bathrobe, frowned, and asked, Why?â
âI heard that he lost something.â
Giadaâs personal assistant replied with her gaze was lowered. She did not dare to look at Giada
directly.
A lowly peasant like her was not qualified to look at the madamâs body.
âWhat is it?â
Giada walked over to the wine rack and poured herself a glass of Whiskey. She folded her arms in front
of her chest and asked in interest.
âItâs something Madam Charlotte left for the young master,â replied the personal assistant.
Giadaâs expression changed and a smirk appeared on her face. She took a sip of her Whiskey, lifted an
eyebrow, and asked, âDid he manage to find it?â
The personal assistant shook her head.
At the same time, in the chairmanâs office of Apex Group, Philip stood in front of the window coldly as
he looked down at the skyline of the city.
Then, George hurriedly walked into the office. Holding his cane, he said, âYoung master, we found it!â
Found it!
Philip let out a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, his anger did not vanish.
âWhere are they?â Philip turned around, his eyes filled with rage.
When George saw Philip in such a state, his heart trembled. After stammering for a long while, he said,
âYoung master, Iâm afraid that the matter canât be resolved so easily.â
Philip lifted an eyebrow and snorted. âAre there even things that I canât take care of?â
George was anxious as he said slowly, âYoung Master, the person who took Madam Charlotteâs thing is
your mother-in-law, Martha Yates.â
Boom!
Martha?
When Philip heard her name, his soul left his body. Why did it have to be her?
Nonetheless, after a while, even more anger began to well up in Philipâs chest.
Even Martha was not allowed to touch that jade bangle!
A mean mother-in-law like her did not have the right to do so!
She was tarnishing his motherâs good name!
Seeing Philipâs coldness, George asked nervously, âYoung Master, how are you going to handle this?
Are you going to reveal your identity to her?â
Philip shook his head and said coldly, âNo need. Iâll take care of it myself.â
Upon saying that, Philip left the chairmanâs office in a hurry. Then, he called a car and went to the old
Johnston Manor.
He had pretended to be a coward in that house for the past three years and had let himself be spittled
on throughout that duration. Philip could endure that.
However, he could no longer suppress his anger after finding out that Martha was the one that had
taken his motherâs jade bangle.
His unreasonable and irrational mother-in-law was still trying to test his limits again and again.
She was asking to die infinitely.
Alright then, he would let her see what he could do so that she would stop for a period of time.
When Philip got to the old Johnston Manor, he did not do anything unnecessary like knocking on the
door. Instead, he immediately kicked it open.
At this time, Martha was in the living room, examining the jade bangle on the table with a thin man.
âHow much?â
Martha was ecstatic and nervous at the same time. Charles had said that the thing was worthless, and
she was thinking about selling it.
The man with her was the boss of a jade shop Martha had found on the street. He looked at the bangle
closely, and an ominous and hopeful glint flashed across his eyes.
It was an item of the highest quality!
It was a glassy jadeite bangle of the highest quality!
It was the bangle that had shocked the entire country ten years ago!
There was only one pair of them. One of them was put up for auction, while the other one never
surfaced on the market.
Why was a glassy jadeite bangle of the highest quality there?
