The First Heir – Chapter 1699
Martha was asking anxiously, “Wynnie, what happened in Riverdale? Can you tell me about it?”
Martha had not been ea ting or sleeping well in the past two days as she was thinking about the villa in
Riverdale and Beacon Group. She did not know what exactly Martin and Bernard Johnston had done.
Would Martha end up a pauper from now on?
No way!
Martha was extremely worried. She had long noticed that Martin and Bernard were up to no good, but
she did not expect that they would do such a treacherous thing at this time.

Charles also stood by the window. Someone like him who never smoked had started smoking, but his
actions were a little awkward.
Martha glanced at him and scolded, “Go outside if you want to smoke! Can’t you see that Wynnie is
pregnant?”

into space. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, “Wynnie, just tell us. I can bear it.”
Wynn looked at her parents, thought about it, and said, “Dad, Mom, things are not as serious as you
think. When Philip returned to Riverdale last time, he already resolved some of the problems. Uncle
Martin and Uncle Bernard have also resigned from the company. However, they seem to have set up a
new company, supposedly with the help of someone who wants to compete with Beacon.”

“Compete? What does that mean? We still have to compete when we’re all from the same family?”
Martha’s voice was loud, and her face was full of annoyance. She glared at Charles viciously and
scolded, “Charles Johnston, just look at your wonderful brothers! In the beginning, I told you not to help
them but you refused to listen to me and got them to join the company. Now, everything’s done for. They
got our company and daughter into trouble. They even established another company to compete with us!
What are they trying to do? Do they want to split the family up? Or do they want us dead?!”
Martha was almost dying of anger, mercilessly venting her frustration at Charles.
Charles was also very helpless now. With a face full of melancholy, he looked at the exasperated Martha
and said, “What are you saying? How would I know they harbored such intentions? I didn’t expect this to
happen either.”
Charles also felt very remorseful. On the one hand, Bernard and Martin were his brothers. On the other
hand, Wynn and Martha were his family.
Martha huffed angrily, “You didn’t expect it? Hehe, what’s the use of saying that now? We can’t even
return to Riverdale!”
Wynn also had a headache and said, “That’s enough, Mom. Stop blaming Dad. This matter is not his
fault. Besides, Philip is already dealing with it. There should be results soon. Let’s wait a couple of days
more.”
“We still need to wait?” Martha was anxious. She was tired of staying in the hotel and said, “Wynnie, you
don’t know how worried I am. I want to go back to Riverdale as soon as possible. Why don’t you talk to
Philip and have him send us back? He knows a lot of people, right? Just ask him to arrange a few more
bodyguards for us.”

Upon hearing Martha’s words, Wynn hesitated and said, “Let’s wait for him to return and I’ll ask him
then.”

Martha immediately grinned when she heard this and said, “Okay, hurry up and ask him. I just want to
return to Riverdale now. Since we have the villa back, there shouldn’t be a problem if we return. Besides,
your father and I are not doing anything here, so we might as well go home.”
Wynn nodded and glanced at Charles who looked hesitant, saying, “Dad, don’t worry about it anymore.
Philip will take care of it.”
Charles nodded, sighed, and shook his head.
