The First Heir

Chapter 50

By then, Martha’s friends had noticed Philip. They snorted out and mocked, “Martha, is that your son- in-law? He looks really plain and so absentminded, like a blockhead. Your daughter is so pretty, she must have been blind to marry him!”

“Yeah, such a useless man is a disgrace to us elders. Thankfully my son-in-law is not like him.”

The group of elders started laughing in mockery.

Martha’s cheeky smile earlier was now completely gone. She snorted. “That wretched piece of trash is not my son-in-law. In a few days, I’ll have my daughter divorce him!”

Philip had heard the insults directed to him by the group. He could only shake his head and smiled coldly. He was already used to insults like this. They called him a wretched piece of trash, but what were they doing here? They had even called Aiden to come over and help. Now Philip really wanted to see just how Aiden can help with this situation.

Just then, a white Maserati drove over on the street, looking very flashy.

Martha squealed in delight. “Addy, Aunty’s over here. Look, our Aiden is here. We can solve this now.” Martha emphasized on the word ‘our’, as if afraid that others would not know.

Philip pouted, feeling a little suffocated on the inside.

The crowd looked toward the sound source to see a handsome young man wearing an expensive suit coming out from the Maserati.

Martha went over with an expression like she was looking at her son and smiled. “Addy, you’re finally here. Was it a bother?”

After Aiden got out, he politely greeted Martha, “Aunt Martha, it’s alright. I just happen to be free today. What’s the situation here? Has something bad happened?”

After a glance around, Aiden noticed Philip, who was shouting hysterically in the crowd. Aiden’s expression immediately fell, and he glared hatefully at Philip. What was that trash doing here?

“Addy, something bad happened. My friends and I have purchased a financial plan from this company, and they’ve said that they would pay out the interest today. But when we came here this morning, the boss has gone missing. Can you tell us what’s going on?” Martha clapped her hands together anxiously and seemed to have thought of something. She asked, “Addy, you own a company, so you must know some people. Can you help me find the owner of this company and find out what’s going on?”

After taking a look at the situation and listening to Martha’s explanation, Aiden roughly understood. This group of older people had definitely been scammed. It would not be easy to help them.

However, when he saw Martha’s earnest gaze and Philip’s expression, which looked like he wanted to laugh, Aiden steeled himself and said confidently with a smile, “Aunt Martha, don’t worry, I can take care of this. I just happened to be acquainted with the boss of this company. I’ll ask him what’s going. You can relax.”

“Okay, okay.” Martha was excited. She wore a bright smile and tugged at Aiden’s arm. “Addy’s still the best after all. Better than some wretched trash.”

Her friends were now fawning over Aiden, praising him for his capabilities. Aiden’s heart was blooming. He smiled and looked at the signboard of the financial company, feeling very pleased with himself. He knew that today was his day to shine. After he had lost his favor with his future father-in-law, he would now get it back from his future mother-in-law. If he could have Martha on his side, that meant Wynn was already partially his.

After that, he shot an arrogant glance at Philip before taking out his phone to call his father. “Dad, didn’t you say that you’ve dined with the boss of Lucrative Funds Finance Company before? I have something that I need your help with…”

After the call, Aiden smiled widely as he looked at the older folks, enjoying how everyone had their eyes on him. He cleared his throat and said, “Don’t worry, everyone, my dad knows the boss of this finance company. I’ve already given my dad a call, so I’m sure there will be answers too. Everyone, please don’t worry too much.”

The crowd of older folks started praising Aiden. The man felt like he was about to float. Aiden shifted his gaze over to the few staff of the finance company who had stayed behind. “Let me talk to them. Uncles and Aunts, please wait for my good news.” Having said, Aiden walked over proudly to the few staff members, hoping to look almighty.

However, a small voice from beside rang in his ears all of a sudden. “Mom, that won’t do. Aiden has tricked you. Why don’t I make a call, maybe it can help…” Philip’s voice was small. Everyone had their eyes on Aiden, so Philip’s voice now sounded especially piercing to his ears.

Aiden had wanted to go over to the staff members, but he abruptly stopped and turned to the side, looking annoyed.

Philip was tugging at Martha, seeming to be advising her on something, but Martha was reluctant to pay him any mind. She pointed at him and berated, “Philip, beat it! Is there any place for you to speak up here? If Aiden can’t help, can a wretched piece of trash like you help?”

Not just Martha, now everyone was looking at Philip with contempt in their eyes. So this was Martha’s useless son-in-law. What a chatty brat, he really was useless.

Right now, other than Aiden, who was a man of status, who else here could say that they could solve this problem?

Upon seeing this situation, Aiden walked over to Philip with a mocking look on his face. “Why? Do you feel upset? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself? Can you solve a problem like this?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
