The First Heir

Chapter 94

A simple sentence, yet Martha’s and Juan’s hearts thudded at the sound of it!

What did he mean by ‘for his sake’?

How could that useless bum say something like that at a time like this!

Was his honor that precious?

Martha was trembling with anger. Philip was a big talker and knew just when to pick his moment.

Was he deliberately trying to embarrass himself and offend Henry?

Was it revenge?

“Philip, shut up! Who do you think you are? Do you think you have a say in this matter?” Martha admonished with trepidation.

She was really worried that Philip, that piece of trash, would accidentally offend someone as important as Henry Turner.

He even asked him to let the matter go for his sake. Did he not know how much more noble this man was when compared to him?

Philip’s brows knitted together. He had not thought that Martha would be the first to reprimand him.

He was trying to get her out of trouble through his kind intentions, but instead, she retaliated.

“Why are you still standing there? Aren’t you going to apologize to Professor Turner?” Martha had finally found her chance. She did not waste any energy in criticizing Philip, hoping that Professor Turner would not pay attention to her.

The same thing happened with Juan. His gaze grew chilly as the corners of his lips twitched slightly. He felt very displeased.

He could not believe Philip. How could he speak so sarcastically at this time!

If they offended Professor Turner, they would all be in deep trouble.

Thus, he immediately stepped forward and chastised, “Philip, apologize immediately to Professor Turner. What do you mean for your sake? Is your honor that precious? How dare you say such things!”

“That’s right, even if you want to die, don’t drag us along with you,” Martha immediately chimed in, a b*tchy smile appearing on her face. “Professor Turner, as you can see, it was Philip who disrespected you. If you want trouble, go after him, not me. I’ve already apologized to you. Surely you won’t hold a grudge against a woman like me.”

Martha was flaunting her vulnerability as a woman.

The two echoed off each other as they spoke. In no time, Martha and Juan had criticized every part of Philip.

“Professor Turner, Philip is just a clueless person. Please don’t stoop down to his level,” Juan said with a complimentary smile on his face before he turned to snap at Philip. “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to apologize to Professor Turner? Do you know what he’s here for?”

He was the best cardiologist in the country that Juan had hired at a great expense!

A medical titan!

He was here for Philip’s daughter!

How dare he show such disrespect!

He would have to make sure he told Wynn about this. She would definitely have a bigger problem with Philip after this.

Thinking of this, Juan snickered to himself.

However…

A scene that amazed them occurred!

Henry’s eyes grew wide as he glared at Juan. He spoke coolly, “Mr. Parker, have you forgotten what I just told you? You should not judge a person lightly, let alone insult them! The way you speak makes me think that there is something greatly wrong with your character!”

Henry finally understood.

This strange mother-in-law and Juan Parker clearly despised Mr. Clarke.

They must be blind!

If Mr. Clarke’s true identity was made known to them, they would probably be on their knees begging for mercy.

Panicked, Juan hurriedly bowed in agreement. “Professor Turner, you’re right. I’m wrong here. However, Philip was disrespectful toward you. I could not stand by and do nothing, that’s why I criticized him.”

However…

Surprisingly…

Henry addressed Martha in front of everyone present. “Today, for the sake of this… Mr. Clarke, I won’t hold a grudge against you, you country bumpkin. However, don’t be too cocky. If I find out that you’re

still giving Mr. Clarke a hard time, I’ll make you regret it!”

Martha did not dare to say anything. With a face full of smiles, she nodded her head repeatedly in agreement.

They remained this way for a short while.

Suddenly, Henry snapped. “Well, what are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to apologize to Mr. Clarke?”

Apologize to Philip?!

Juan did not dare to utter a word!

Martha was dumbfounded!

Her, the mother-in-law, was being asked to apologize to her good-for-nothing son-in-law?

Blasphemy!

Martha nearly went ballistic!

She was full of rage!

She was so narrow-minded, so how could she apologize to this useless bum?

Besides, he was her son-in-law!

After stammering for a good while, Martha gave Philip a deadly stare. She wished she could make a voodoo doll of him that she could poke to death!

Philip was startled as well. He had not thought that Henry would use his power this way.

Thus, he immediately shook his head and waved his hands. “No, no, no, Mr. Turner. I’m really fine.”

However, Henry refused to back down. With his expression still chilly, he stared at Martha as he said threateningly, “You can choose not to apologize. However, I would like to tell you that even the reputable people in Riverdale will address me respectfully as Professor Turner.”

Slap!

This was a virtual slap aimed toward Martha.

She was just a civilian woman, so how would she dare to go against someone as powerful as Henry?

Thus, although she was reluctant to do so, she had no choice but to say begrudgingly to Philip, “Sorry.”

Her attitude was not great, but at least she said it.
