The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 123

When Phoebe heard this, she was dumbfounded. She could not regain her senses at all. She justlooked at Tom in a daze and let him hold her hand and leave.

Bang.

Wesley, who had just stayed in the conference room, was stunned by the scene. The phone in hishand fell to the ground.

The noise also woke the other members of the Scotts up.

Richard said hurriedly, "Mr. Cook, wait!"

He stood in front of Elliot, looking bitter and panic-stricken. He said, "Mr. Cook, you havemisunderstood us. It's absolutely a misunderstanding! We don't know that the Mr. Howard you'retalking about is our son-in-law of the Scotts.”

At this time, no matter how many questions and disbeliefs he had in his mind, he could only burythem in his heart. No matter what, he had to keep Elliot here!

Because the Scotts had no other ways, there was no room for retreat. Once Elliot left, SK Companywould definitely go bankrupt. The consequences of bankruptcy were unacceptable to all of them.Elliot said coldly, "It's useless for you to tell me this. You must bring Mr. Howard around.”

MES.

Richard's face was very bad. To be honest, it was too hard for him to give in to Tom. It was morepainful than hitting him directly on the face!

But now, he had no other choice.

So he gritted his teeth and walked up to Tom, trying to squeeze out a smile and said, "Tom, why youdidn't tell me about your relationship with Mr. Cook? Grandpa misunderstood you just now.”

For the first time in so many years, Richard had called him Tom, and for the first time, Richard hadgiven in to him. He had to say that he felt great about it.

Richard, this old man, was very arrogant and had absolute authority in the Scotts. Phoebe and herparent were extremely afraid of him.

When the people from the Scotts in the conference room saw this situation, they looked terrible.They felt an unprecedented humiliation. Thinking of what they had just said, it was a slap in the face,so hurtful!

In particular, Zack, he still felt the pain on his face. Tom's gorgeous change really made him unableto understand, extremely unwilling, and kept reading in his mind, "Impossible, impossible..."

In fact, every one of them felt that it was too unreal. They could not understand what method Tomused to make Elliot so respectful. This was completely out of reality!

Tom smiled and said, "Hehe, a misunderstanding? I just told you that I would take out a sum ofmoney to invest SK Company. Unfortunately, none of you believed me and mocked me fiercely.”Richard had ever suffered this, especially in front of so many younger generations? His face lookedterrible now, and he gritted his teeth. When he saw that loser Tom was so complacent, he wasextremely angry and wished he could slap him in the face!

But he didn't dare. Now Tom was his God of Wealth. If he offended Tom, the Scotts would be ruined.Was there anything more absurd than this in this world?

So, he had to squeeze out a smile again, which was even worse than crying. He said, "Tom, grandpawas wrong about you just now. Don't be angry. I apologize. I'm sorry. Forgive me, okay?"

Richard was old, behaving in arrogant manner for most of his life. It was worse for him to apologizeto a useless son-in-law than to kill him! His face was burning with pain.

Tom was not a mean person. On the contrary, he respected the old and loved the young. However,he had no respect for Richard at all, only disdain and disgust. In the four years at the Scotts, he sawclearly how mean Richard treated Phoebe and humiliated him.

Phoebe, on the side, was happy to see her arrogant grandfather lowering his head. If it weren't forTom, she would never have such a chance for the rest of her life!

Indeed, Richard was her grandfather, but Richard had never loved her since she was a child. Sheonly had awe and complaints to Richard.

Tom chuckled and said, "There is no need. You're Phoebe's grandfather. How can I afford yourapology?”

Richard gritted his teeth and said, "Then the investment in SK Company..."

Tom interrupted, "No need to invest in SK Company. My money doesn't grow on tress. I can't affordsuch a loss."

He was about to pull Phoebe away.

Richard immediately became anxious and hurriedly stopped Tom and said, "Oh, how can you losemoney? SK Company is only temporarily broke in the capital chain. As long as we make up for it, wecan immediately return to normal operations. With the current situation in H City, it is easy to makemoney! Besides, Tom, you're my son-in-law. You can't just sit there and watch us die!"

"Let you die?" Tom was immediately amused. "What a harsh sentence. Today, you forced Phoebe bythese. You didn't care about she is your family at all, and you slapped Phoebe in the face. Now that Ijust want you to die, so what?"

Richard gritted his teeth and his face was very angry. He tried to burst into anger several times, buthe held it back.

Seeing him like this, Tom sneered even more and said, "You don't have to bear your anger. Just letoff steam if you want to. Anyway, you've always been like this. Dignity is more important thananything. You don't care about other people's dignity. Just like before, just keep calling the policeand ask the police to arrest me and go to jail.”

Victor couldn't listen to this anymore. He stood up and shouted at Tom, "Tom! Don't go too far! Nomatter what, the person standing in front of you is your wife's grandfather!"

Tom glanced at Victor, smiled meaningfully, and then said to Richard, "Grandpa, you heard it. Uncleis still scolding me. It seems that this deal can't go on. You should wait for someone else to saveyou."

Phoebe looked at Tom strangely. She did not know what had happened to Tom. She had never seenhim like that before.

Richard's face turned even worse. He glared at Victor and scolded, "Shut up, bastard! It was indeedour fault for insulting Tom just now! Hurry up and apologize to him."

"Dad..." Victor was immediately unhappy. Asking him to apologize to Tom was equivalent toslapping him in the face.

"I'll count to three, or you'll get out of the Scotts!" Richard's expression was terrifying and dignified.Everyone felt his anger and seriousness.

Victor shivered. He didn't dare to disobey. He regretted it in his heart. If he had known, he wouldhave stopped talking!

Now he had to bow his head to Tom and apologize honestly, "Tom, it's my fault. I'm sorry."Awesome.

Tom felt comfortable all over.

Phoebe also smiled. Before Tom came, she was scolded by Victor so many times.

Richard said again, "Tom, are you satisfied with this?"

Tom smiled and said, "Grandpa, why I felt some resentment in your tone? Are you reluctant toapologize?”

Click. Richard clenched his fists and shouted "bastard" in his heart countless times, but outwards, hedid not dare to show it at all. He could only force himself to bear it and show a more humble smile,"How could that be? Tom, you are the son-in-law of the Scotts. Now that you are powerful, I'm morehappy than ever!”

Tom laughed and didn't bother to tease Richard. He said directly, "It's not impossible to invest SKCompany..."

Richard's eyes lit up and he looked up in surprise. "Really? That's great! Tom, I knew you wouldn't letus die!"

Other members of the Scotts also beamed with joy and excitement.

Tom kept speaking, "I haven't finished my sentence yet. Why are you happy like that? I mean, I caninvest in SK Company, but the decision is up to Phoebe. If she nods, I can sign the contractimmediately and draw money in. Of course, if Phoebe doesn't agree, then the deal is off.”

For a moment, all of them looked at Phoebe with complicated expressions.

Phoebe's mood was the most complicated.

Now, how could she not understand that Tom had done so much just to please her...
