The First Heir
Chapter 243

Chapter 243

The house was filled with a murderous aura.

No one spoke.

Martha, who had always been unreasonably noisy, was now quietly standing at one corner like anobedient baby. She was looking with lowered eyelids at the kneeling Wynn, afraid to make one sound.

Wynn knelt with poise and said stubbornly, “Grandpa, can you at least tell me what’s going on? DidPhilip do something wrong?”

“Tell Philip to get back here at once!” Bob bellowed angrily. His face had a stony expression, and abiting chill could be seen in his eyes.

Martha dared not say anything and merely stood there as she looked at Wynn. She winked at Wynn asa signal for her to call Philip.

That wastrel must have caused trouble, otherwise, the old man would not have rushed to their house inthe middle of the night. He had also brought many men with him, all of whom were lined up outside.There were also four more men inside the house with them.

Scary!

Martha’s hatred toward Philip increased just like that.

Wynn had just returned and had not figured out what the cause of all of it was yet. Nevertheless, shehad a vague feeling that it had something to do with Eric.

Although Wynn appeared stubborn on the surface, she was actually very nervous.

They were about to face her grandfather, Bob Yates. Ever since she was young, she had felt that hewas a formidable person. The daunting aura that he carried was fully portrayed at the moment as Wynnfelt immense pressure from him.

“Grandpa, you must tell me what Philip did, otherwise, I can’t call for him,” Wynn said weakly, but herkneeling posture was still firm.

Bob glared at Wynn and felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart.

Such a fine young lady had chosen to marry a wimp and become the bout of everyone’s jokes.

In the past, Bob purposely did not attend Wynn’s wedding and even announced that the Yates wouldnot acknowledge Wynn as their granddaughter.

That caused Wynn to lose her job in Fortune 500, and she ended up in Beacon Pharmaceutical as aresult.

“Wynn, you’re not involved in this matter. You just need to call Philip to come back. The rest of it hasnothing to do with you!” Bob said sternly in a tone full of deterrence.

Wynn was upset when she heard those words.

As Philip’s wife, it was her right to share his burdens.

“Philip will not return tonight. He’s in the hospital with Mila. You can talk to me instead. If he made amistake, I’ll kowtow to you and beg for your forgiveness,” Wynn persisted.

However.

Bob then stood up with a sneer on his face and approached Wynn with his cane.

The scene that ensued next shocked everyone!

Without another word, Bob raised his hand and slapped Wynn across the face.

The loud smack was heard throughout the entire hall.

“What right do you have to speak to me like that? Can you represent Philip? Do you know what he hasdone?”

Bob’s face was flushed as he roared, “If Philip doesn’t return tonight, you’ll continue to kneel! When hereturns, that’s when you can stand up!”

When would this foolish granddaughter of his come back to her senses?

Although Bob was furious, he still cared for Wynn.

Martha dared not say anything even though Wynn had been beaten.

She was merely a spineless, two-faced person, who could only act arrogantly in front of people likePhilip. When faced with someone like her father, she dared not make any waves.

Despite that, she was still distressed at the sight of Wynn being beaten, and said anxiously, “Wynnie,hurry up and tell that wretch to return at once! Why are you still protecting him now? He should beresponsible for his own mistakes. He’s not the son-in-law of Johnston family, nor the grandson-in-law ofthe Yates family.”

While she cursed, Martha tried to discern Bob’s mood.

Nevertheless, the stubborn Wynn only continued to kneel without saying a word or taking out herphone.

Bob nearly exploded in fury!

He lamented her bullheadedness, pointed at her viciously, and said through gritted teeth, “Very well,you’ve chosen to rebel! From now on, you’ll no longer be the granddaughter of Bob Yates. The Yatesfamily will not acknowledge your bloodline!”

Those words were very harsh.
