The First Heir

Chapter 54

If he embarrassed himself in front of his future mother-in-law right now, it would mean that he would lose his chance with Wynn.

When he thought of this, Aiden forced out a smile and said with a quiver in his voice, “Um, ladies and gentlemen, it’s done. Don’t worry. I called Mr. Collins and he’ll come here to handle this in a bit, so don’t worry. You can go back and wait for further news.”

When everyone heard that, they cheered and clapped for Aiden.

“Mr. Grant is such an extraordinary man. He managed to solve the problem right after standing up for us. If my daughter was not married, I’ll definitely ask her to marry Mr. Grant.”

“Yeah! Mr. Grant is such an amazing young man. You can’t come across this kind of man easily now. Martha, you’ve got yourself a gem!”

“Hehe, I remember someone talking big about how he can solve this just now. Now that Mr. Grant has solved this, where’s that person who was talking big?”

“Don’t talk about that trash of a man anymore. He’s just playing to the gallery.”

The crowd cheered for Aiden and criticized Philip who was incompatible with the crowd.

Aiden did not care anymore. He was enjoying this kind of treatment, especially when Martha was looking at him like he was a block of gold.

“Aiden, don’t worry. I’m going to agree to this thing between you and Wynn now.”

Martha grabbed Aiden’s hand and smiled brightly.

When she looked over at Philip, she started to feel angry just from looking at that idiot.

She wanted so badly for her daughter to divorce Philip and marry Aiden instead.

Philip stood in a corner and watched, ruminating as everyone praised Aiden.

He knew what had happened, but this man was still acting so shamelessly.

Should he expose him?

Never mind. His mother-in-law would despise him for that.

Judy stood at the entrance of the office and watched everything happen suspiciously.

Did Aiden really call her boss? Why did she not receive any messages?

“Mr. Grant, are you sure Mr. Collins will be here later?” Judy asked. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

This question felt like a splash of cold water over Aiden’s head. He woke up immediately from his enjoyment.

“Um, Mr. Collins will be here in a bit.” Aiden decided to just deceive Judy.

What else should he do?

He was clearly lying.

If Mr. Collins did not come here, it would be a slap in his face.

No, he had to call his father again. He had to get Mr. Collins to show his face no matter what.

If it came down to it, he would just pay him back with a house.

At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz stopped in the distance. A man with a beer belly walked out from the car hurriedly. He almost fell in the process.

It was Lamar!

At this moment, he was panicking. He had been brought over by Theo.

Theo did not get out of the car. He only sat in the car and watched Philip who stood out from the crowd.

He hoped he could still make it.

“Look, it’s Mr. Collins! Mr. Collins is here!” someone yelled out in the crowd.

Everyone looked over at the same time and saw Lamar running over.

In an instant, everyone immediately felt extremely grateful to Aiden.

“Look, Mr. Grant is indeed amazing. Mr. Collins is really here!”

“We can definitely get our money back now. Mr. Grant, thank you so much!”

“Martha, you have to hold on to Aiden at all costs. He’s such an amazing candidate for your son-in-law. You can’t pass him up.”

Martha was extremely grateful. A flower was blooming in her heart when she listened to the flatteries of the other middle-aged women.

However, Aiden was nervous because he knew he had not managed to contact Mr. Collins.

Why was he here?

Was it Philip’s doing?

Aiden’s gaze landed on Philip who was looking bored. He denied that thought immediately.

Impossible!

He was just a useless piece of trash!

Mr. Collins was the president of a company. How would Philip know him?

When everyone was gathering around Lamar, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief. Then, he ran over to Aiden and Philip.
