The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 165

A moment ago, she was still very depressed and angry with Tom. Later, when she received Tom'scall, she seemed to be a different person. She was overjoyed.

Colton and Laylani were both startled by her extreme reaction. Colton scolded with a face on thedeck, "Kaylie! What are you doing? Don't yell. What's wrong with you?"

As a woman, her mother, Laylani, saw something different. She immediately realized that herdaughter really fell in love with Tom as she was so happy just because of his phone call. So shepulled Colton and gave him a look, telling Colton not to blame Kaylie.

Colton also realized this from Laylani's eyes. His expression was a little complicated.

As a father, he only had one daughter, Kaylie. He loved his daughter so much that her marriage wasmore important to him than his career. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found Kaylie a good husbandlike Martin. However, he didn't know how long it had been since he saw his daughter so happy.How couldn't he replace that his daughter was genuinely happy?

Kaylie stuck out her tongue. She also realized that her reaction was a little exaggerated. She felt alittle embarrassed. She quickly ran aside to take the phone, and said in a resentful tone, "Finally youcall me. I thought you disappeared from the world!"

Tom's apologetic voice came from the phone. "I'm sorry. I left my phone in the company these twodays. I turned it down so I missed your call.”

This explanation really sounded insincere. But to Kaylie, she was still very happy to hear it. Theresentment in her heart immediately disappeared. However, she snorted and said unhappily, "It's allan excuse. It's been two days, and you haven't called me at all.”

Hearing her complaint, Tom had a headache. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Why didyou call me?"

Kaylie stammered and didn't get to the point for a long time. Tom was a little dizzy and said directly,"You don't have to beat around the bush. If you need my help with anything, just say it. I'm availablethese two days.”

Hearing Tom's words, Kaylie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was waiting for this sentence. So,she stopped beating around the bush and said, "Well, I have to invite guests to my home tomorrow.Can you come over and be my boyfriend?"

"What?" Tom raised his voice a lot. "You still want to do that? No, no."

Kaylie was addicted to using him as a shield. Besides, tomorrow was the engagement party of theKnights and the Gablehausers. If he was going to be Kaylie's boyfriend, this would be explosivenews.

Kaylie begged, "It's just one day. Please, help me."

"You're trying to trick me. Tomorrow is your engagement party with Martin. If I were your boyfriend,I would have made big trouble.” Tom said.

"It's because of the engagement party with Martin that I asked you to come over!" Kaylie started touse her persuasion skills and began to beg Tom.

Tom felt dizzy. In fact, he was not afraid of the Gablehausers. But he wanted to keep it low-key. If heappeared as Kaylie's boyfriend tomorrow, he would definitely attract everyone's attention.

"You've thought it through. I'm the son-in-law of the Scotts. My reputation in the Scotts is very bad.When it is revealed, it will be your shame.” Tom hinted significantly.

Kaylie said without thinking, "Well, I don't care about that. Besides, you're divorced now. Tom, youshould help me anyway. Please. As long as you promise to help me, I owe you a big favor. Nomatter what you ask, I'll satisfy you! Hear me clearly. I will do anything for you!"

She deliberately emphasized the word “any’, which made people full of endless fantasy.

Tom could imagine the way she said that.

After some hesitation, Tom sighed and said, "Well, this is the last time. I won't help you anymore.Anyway, if you don't feel ashamed when my identity is revealed, I'm OK with it."

Kaylie cheered again and made a triumphant gesture. "Tom, thank you. You're so good to me."

Tom smiled unhappily and said, "Well, well. You don't have to flatter me anymore. That's it. Give mean address and time. I'll be there tomorrow.”

After Kaylie finished speaking, Tom hung up the phone and rubbed his temples to ease hisheadache.

Kaylie really was causing trouble for him.

He had just rejected Elliot's invitation and said that he would not attend the engagement banquetof the Knights and the Gablehausers tomorrow. He didn't know what Elliot would think when he sawhim tomorrow.

But it didn't matter anymore. He wouldn't be keeping a low profile for long anyway.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of something. He wondered if Phoebe would attend theengagement party tomorrow. Moreover, Phoebe was now the chairman of the SK Company, thehighest-ranking person in the SK Company. If Phoebe were to show up, what would she look likewhen she saw that he was already Kaylie's boyfriend?

She might be very indifferent. She might even be disdainful

After all, Phoebe had never loved him. If she didn't, how could she care?

Tom shook his head and laughed at himself. He stopped thinking and began to work.

Phoebe actually received an invitation from the Knights .

As Tom expected, her status was different now. Since she was the chairman of the SK Company, shewas more dignified now. Therefore, she was totally qualified to attend such an engagement party.The next day, the engagement banquet of the Knights and the Knights was held as scheduled. Thevenue was in the best five-star hotel in H City. Many luxury cars arrived one after another ahead ofschedule. Among these cars, there was some worth of millions of dollars, which caused a sensationon the road. Many citizens were guessing which figure could invite so many big shots?

Kaylie was very nervous and excited today. She sent a lot of messages to Tom early in the morningto tell him not to forget and to be there!

Tom was so annoyed by her that he turned it down and ignored her.

So did he come over?

Of course, he did. Since he had promised Kaylie, he would not break his promise.

However, because he left in a hurry, he didn't have time to prepare an expensive suit. He just worean ordinary suit and came over. Anyway, it was just an interlude.
