Unexpectedly, it broke...

In an instant, the whole audience fell into a strange silence, and everyone was looking at them withan excited look on their faces.

Tom's mouth twitched twice. Even though he was rich, it was inevitable that his heart ached a littlesince this was worth thirty million.

Others had different reactions. Cal showed a look of great regret and anger. In his eyes, it was notsomething worth 30 million, but a precious antique that could not be saved!

James and Phoebe trembled with anger.

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. Her face turned pale and her hands and feet turned extremely cold."How, how could this be...” Elizabeth cried.

James was so angry that he slapped her on the face. "Look at what you've done! You ruined thirtymillion! I wish I had strangled you!"

Elizabeth's face swelled up. She was very angry. After all these years of marriage, James had neverhit her. She wanted to lash out, but when she met James's murderous eyes, she immediatelybecame timid and said with a grievance, "Why did you hit me? I didn't mean to..."

"How dare you say that! If you didn't touch it, the blue and white china would be broken. You fail ateverything!" James gritted his teeth and wanted to slap her again, but Phoebe stopped him in time."Dad, okay, mom didn't mean it. Don't hit her." Phoebe said.

James gave up and glared at Elizabeth.

"Well, Mr. Hall, this blue and white china is broken. Is it still valuable?" James asked carefully. In fact,he already knew the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to give up.

Cal glared at him and asked, "What do you think?"

James sat down dejectedly.

Elizabeth asked, "How much is it now?"

Cal thought for a while and said, "A hundred thousand at the most."

After saying this, he was also heartbroken.

It was known to all that antique china was the most precious if it is complete. If they were broken,their value would be greatly reduced.

After hearing this, Elizabeth cried again.

In the end, the broken blue and white china was sold to Cal for 150,000 and was transferred on thespot.

Of course, the money was transferred to Phoebe's account.

It was Elizabeth who broke it. But on the way back, Elizabeth complained about Tom, saying that ifTom hadn't picked the time to take out the blue and white china, she wouldn't have broken it. In theend, it was Tom's fault.

Tom was completely helpless with his mother-in-law's unreasonable behavior, and he didn't want tobother himself to argue with her.

Phoebe felt guilty when she saw that he was silent and did not complain at all. When they returnedhome, she pulled Tom aside. "I'm sorry about today. Mom broke such an expensive antique.”

Tom was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Phoebe to apologize to him. He felt a little warmin his heart. He waved his hand and said casually, "It's okay. It's no big deal.”

When Phoebe heard Tom's words, she felt relaxed a lot. But she couldn't help wondering why Tomwas so calm. After all, the antique china was worth 30 million and was broken. Even she felt verydistressed. When Tom became so generous? Tom even felt sad about losing a ten.

"You don't care at all?" Phoebe asked.

Tom saw Phoebe's expression and knew what she was thinking. He helplessly spread out his handsand said, "My heart aches, but what can I do more than that? It has happened. It won't be completeif my heart aches. Besides, I can't blame mom. She's an elder.”

When Phoebe heard this, she was obviously stunned. Then, there was a strange emotion in her eyes.It was the first time she had seen Tom being so magnanimous. She felt it was good to know the newhim.

"You really think so?" Phoebe asked softly.

Tom smiled and said, "Actually, there is another very important reason.”

"What?" Phoebe immediately asked.

"Because she is your mother. If I blame her, you will be put in a difficult situation. So I chose topersuade myself.” Tom said with a smile.

When Phoebe heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds, then lowered her head. Her heart wasbeating faster, and she was seized with a mixed feeling. After a while, she said, "Actually, you don'thave to be so good to me..."

Tom said naturally, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're my wife. It's natural for me to begood to you."

Phoebe did not say anything but lowered her head again. She felt that she had wronged Tom andwas not worthy of Tom's kindness to her because she did not love Tom. She fell in love with anotherman! It was kind of having an affair. What was ridiculous was that she didn't even know what thatman looked like!

Tom didn't know what Phoebe was thinking. He thought that Phoebe was touched and felt proud.Taking this opportunity, he held Phoebe's hand, but as soon as he touched her, Phoebe pushed hishand away.

"Who asked you to be good to me? Your kindness means nothing to me!" Phoebe suddenly becameagitated. She turned around, rushed into the room and locked the door.

Tom was left standing there in a daze. What was going on?

Was it a mistake for him to be good to Phoebe?

When Tom was confused and upset, Rory was even more furious.

"Bang!"

When Rory came back to his house, he was just throwing things around like crazy. He broke a lot ofthings and his house was a mess. The servants were scared.

He smashed everything for three minutes to vent his anger. After exhausting himself, he stoppedand panted heavily. There was a terrifying light in his eyes which were filled with hatred, anger, andother negative emotions.

He said through gnashed teeth, "Tom!"

"You trash, how dare you ruin my plan and embarrass me in front of so many people? You'll be introuble for this."

He was so angry. He had never been so embarrassed, and he had never hated anyone so much. Tomwas the first one.

Especially when he thought of the way Phoebe looked at him just now and Tom's smug look, he feltextremely uncomfortable and was enraged.

After a few more minutes, he slowly calmed down and called someone...

After hanging up, the corner of his mouth was raised and a sneer appeared. "Tom, just wait. Yourgood days are over!"
