Chapter 677
The First Heir
Wynn sat up on the bed with Marthaâs support, her face still a little pale. She took the cup from Marthaâs
hand and saw some ginger and lemon slices in it.
âWynnie, this is good for you and the baby. Drink it slowly,â Martha said with a smile and sat next to
Wynn. With her kind and benevolent expression, it really made people feel warm.
Wynn smiled slightly, took the cup, raised her delicate neck, and took a few sips.
Martha watched as Wynn drank about half the cup. In her heart, she could not bear it, but at this point,
there was no retreat.
After drinking, Wynn lay down to rest.
Marthaâs emotions were in turmoil at this time as she asked, âWynnie, how do you feel? Does your
stomach hurt?â
Wynn shook her head and whispered weakly, âItâs fine.â
Martha was startled when she heard that. Was the medicine not working?
Had it not taken effect yet?
It was also at this time that Philip returned. He saw the scene just now, frowned, rushed in, walked
straight to the cup that Martha wanted to take away, and grabbed it in his hand.
Martha was also taken aback at this sudden turn of events. She raised her eyebrows when she saw
Philip and panicked.
âAh, Philip! Why are you back so soon?â
Martha smiled furtively as her heart thumped rapidly, just like a thief waiting to be found out.
When she noticed Philip staring at the cup, Martha was even more flustered as her legs started to
tremble.
âUmm, you should have a good chat with Wynn. Your dad and I will go out first.â
She must not stay here. She quickly pulled Charles and attempted to take away the cup from Philipâs
hand.
However.
âWhat did you give Wynnie to drink?â
With a vehement tone of interrogation, Philip stared at Martha with anger. The veins on his hand that
was holding the cup were bulging!
This damned Martha Yates! She actually did it!
âWhat? Itâs just a normal refreshing drink. Give the cup to me.â
Martha forced herself to stay calm and reached out for it.
âRefreshing drink?â
Philip was angry and roared, âMartha Yates, do you think Iâm a fool? Do you really think I donât know
what youâve been up to?â
Clank!
Philip smashed the cup on the floor and the contents spilled all over, frightening Martha.
âPhilip, have you gone mad? Oh, youâre angry and want to vent your frustrations on me, right? Iâm your
mother-in-law!â Martha anxiously glared at Philip and shouted.
Smack!
Philip slapped Martha decisively and said angrily, âMartha Yates! Do you realize the consequences of
your actions? Do you really want me to expose your dirty deeds before you admit your mistake?!â
Martha covered her face, feeling both angry and scared.
Philip had hit her again!
This worthless trash!
What right did he have?
She was his mother-in-law!
Furthermore, it was right in front of Charles and Wynn!
Charles and Wynn were both stunned as they watched on at the side. Charles felt a little angry at
Philipâs unprovoked anger.
âPhilip, what are you doing? Sheâs your mother-in-law, after all. Canât you say things properly? Why do
you have to hit her?â Charles chastised angrily.
âCharles Johnston, didnât I warn you long ago to keep an eye on your wife? If you dare to do anything
to Wynn, Iâll make you regret it!â
Philip turned around and glared at Charles.
âPhil, whatâs going on? Why are you so angry?â
Wynn noticed that something was wrong. Philip would not kick up such a big fuss for no reason.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the drink?
However, that was given to her by her mother.
Martha covered her face and sat on the ground before rolling and screaming hysterically, âAh, just look
at this! The son-in-law is beating the mother-in-law! How am I going to live like this?!â
Martha started to cause a scene that was loud enough to wake the dead.
In the past, they really could not do anything about it.
However, today was different.
Philip glared at Martha angrily. She was still on the ground rolling around. He took out three small
plastic bags filled with white powder and threw it at Marthaâs face!
âMartha Yates, this is what youâve been trying to get Wynn and me to drink in every possible way. Do
you really think that Iâm blind?â
Philip said furiously as his eyes throbbed with anger. âWhen you left Cirrus Manor the other day, this
thing was already swapped by my people!â
Back then, if not for Rick, Philip would still be in the dark.
Crack!
A bolt from the blue!
Martha looked at the three packs of medicine on the ground and was shocked. She raised her
eyebrows inconceivably at Philip and accused him. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? I donât
understand a word!â
This⦠How could this be?
The packets had been swapped?
