The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 166

Kaylie rigged herself out today. She dressed in her best and left for the engagement party.

In the beginning, she was extremely disgusted and repulsed by this engagement party. She haddecided that she would dress up as ugly as she could, and it was best to destroy this engagementparty.

But now, with Tom's attendance, she was looking forward to this engagement party. Although shedid not know why she had such an idea, she just had to dress up and show her most beautiful sideto Tom.

She was really looking forward to Tom's expression when he saw her. He must be mesmerized byher charm, huh.

Moreover, today was her engagement party. When Tom appeared as her boyfriend, there was nochance that the Gablehausers would agree to the marriage!

"Miss Knight, you look so beautiful today. You will be in the limelight. Everyone will be enchanted byyou." A maid said enviously as she helped set Kaylie's hair.

Another maid also said, "That's no doubt. Miss Knight is one of the three beauties in H City, withexceeding attraction. Many men have no chance to see her. Besides, Miss Knight has been dressedup carefully today. She is so beautiful that the whole city and country will be infatuated with her.""I'm a little jealous of Martin. How can he get engaged to Miss Knight?"

"Martin is the young master of the Gablehausers, and his status is quite noble. He barely deservesMiss Knight."

In the dressing room, seven or eight women were dressing for Kaylie, from makeup and hair toclothing.

After everything was in order, Kaylie stood in front of the mirror and looked into it, smiling withsatisfaction and pride. This makeup team made her beauty displayed very well. Now, she exudedincomparable charm, and her every smile was so breathtaking.

I didn't dress up so beautifully for Martin.

Kaylie thought in her heart but did not say it out loud.

As time passed, more and more guests came to the hotel, and the atmosphere became warmer andwarmer.

Tom did not break his promise. He went to the party.

When he arrived, he found that there were already many guests, most of whom were dignitaries.The whole hall was full of an upper-class atmosphere.

Tom, who had been the son-in-law of the Scotts for four years, was no longer interested in such aparty.

So when he arrived, he found a corner to sit down. He just played with his phone quietly andbrowsed through the documents that his subordinates sent him.

Ever since he took over ZQ Inc, he didn't have enough time. He had to browse through thedocuments as soon as he had a rest. Especially now that he decided to open an advertisingcompany, he was even busier.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had already cared so much about Kaylie's feelings byspending the whole night at the party. He wouldn't bother to accept the invitation if it weren't herengagement party.

He looked around the scene and saw no sign of Phoebe or anyone from the Scotts. He breathed asigh of relief but inevitably felt disappointed at the same time.

"Hey, bring me a bottle of wine.”

While Tom was browsing through the documents, someone suddenly patted him and said to him ina commanding tone.

Tom looked up and saw a fat man wearing a Rolex watch. The man's fine panoply was worthhundreds of thousands of dollars. Judging from that, he should be a rich businessman of tens ofmillions. He exuded an air of superiority as if he regarded Tom as a waiter.

Tom frowned slightly and said, "Sir, I'm not a waiter.”

"What?" The fat man immediately expressed his disbelief. He pinched the suit that Tom was wearing,full of disdain and disgust, "If you are not a waiter, can you be a distinguished guest invited by theKnights or the Gablehausers for the engagement party?”

Tom disliked dealing with such a person the most. Why was he so unlucky? He just found a place tosit down, and the man came to provoke him. Did he attract the bullies?

Tonight was important for Kaylie, so Tom was not in the mood to teach the man a lesson. He justturned around and left without paying any attention to the man.

However, Tom's retreat turned into an act of disrespect in the man’s view. His face immediatelychanged. He chased after Tom and said coldly, "Stop right there! You are a waiter! How dare youdisrespect me? Do you know who I am? You will be unable to survive in H City if I give aninstruction, believe it or not?"

He shouted loud with a fierce look, attracting the attention of some people around them. Manypeople immediately looked over. Someone who knew him asked, "Mr. Lee, what's the situation?”Mr. Lee pointed at Tom and said, "This waiter is disrespectful to me. I just asked him to come overwith a bottle of wine, but he dared to pull a face at me. Are these people at the bottom of society soarrogant now?"

His words aroused the hatred of these people. They all began to force Tom to kneel to apologize.Of course, Tom couldn't agree. Facing the four or five rich men who deliberately make thingsdifficult for him, he smiled, "How dare you threaten me?"

Tom's words undoubtedly ignited their anger.

Their faces immediately changed and darkened. They gritted their teeth and cursed.

"How dare you be so arrogant to us! You are just a waiter at the bottom of society?! You are gettingtired of living!"

"Brat, you're doomed. We will bring you back to reality!"

"Why are you still telling him so much? Get the hotel manager here and get rid of him!"

"Find out who he is. I want to know where he got the courage to offend us!"

They were all filled with indignation, not as calm and cultured as successful people should be. Theywere just like the gangsters on the street. In fact, they were indeed nouveau riche with loweducation and no quality. They were especially arrogant just because they could earn two or threemillion dollars a year. They did not regard anyone worse off than them as equal to them.

Tom shook his head, feeling that he was so unlucky. He already didn't have enough time, but nowhe was troubled by them.

Just then, a man saw Tom, and his eyes were filled with surprise. He immediately walked over at afaster pace.

The nouveaux riches were immediately honored by the man's arrival. They didn't bother to teachTom a lesson. They all took the initiative to welcome the man and said, "Mr. Edwards, you're heretoo."

"Yes, Mr. Edwards. I haven't seen you for a long time. You look even better!"

"Hello, Mr. Edwards..."

In front of this Mr. Edwards, they all kept a low profile, even with obvious flattery. They couldn'tcontinue to be so arrogant like just now.

Mr. Edwards just nodded briefly to them, not bothering to reply to the words. Walking straight toTom, he bent down and said in the same fawning tone, "Chairman, you're here too."
