The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 169

At that moment, he gave Malcolm a look. Malcolm was a smart man. Of course, he wouldunderstand. He immediately walked out from behind Tom and went to the young man. His face wascold and his eyes were full of unkindness.

Although Malcolm was getting on in years, he was at least a self-made man. A man who had foughthis way in the street to success would naturally look tough and could certainly frighten some richyoung man.

The young man next to Rory was glared at by Malcolm, and he immediately became timid. His faceshowed some timidity, and his eyes drifted. He said harshly, "Malcolm, what do you want?"

Rory also stared at Malcolm with a sullen face. He knew that Malcolm knew Tom, but he couldn'tfigure out why someone like Malcolm wanted to make friends with Tom. This was unusual. CouldTom be Malcolm's illegitimate child or some relative?

Malcolm suddenly grinned at the young man, but it was by no means a smile. Instead, there wascoldness and playfulness in it.

The young man's scalp went numb reflexively and he realized something was wrong. He was aboutto speak, but the next moment, Malcolm's palm hit his face with great force. With a loud slap, halfof his face swelled up, and he spun around and fell heavily to the ground.

Malcolm's action startled everyone present. They didn't expect Malcolm to act so domineeringly!Not to mention that this young man came from a rich family, and his father was also an importantfigure in the upper class. Malcolm had undoubtedly offended him in the worst way! Moreover, itwas at the engagement banquet of the Knight and Gablehauser families. Didn't Malcolm offendthem by doing so?

Besides, this young man didn't offend Malcolm at all. Why would Malcolm do that?

Only Rory and his group knew the real story: Malcolm was lecturing him for Tom!

For a moment, their focus was on Tom, especially Rory's. His pupils shrank and his eyes flashed withintense fear and confusion!

But soon, he smiled again and figured it out. So what if Malcolm defended Tom? He paid for Mr.Potter to come. When Mr. Potter was here, who could save Tom? Malcolm? Nonsense, Malcolm wasjust a small character in front of Mr. Potter!

The more he understood this, the more relaxed he felt and even wanted to laugh. The morecomplacent and arrogant Tom was now, the harder he fell in a moment, and the happier Rory wouldbe!

"Tom, so that's why you have been so arrogant. It turns out that you have fawned on Malcolm." Rorysmiled strangely and gave Tom a thumbs-up.

How could Tom not know what Rory was thinking? So he just ignored him. "Now that you know,why don't you get out of here?"

Rory was once again provoked by Tom's arrogance, and the corner of his mouth could not help buttwitch. He was a extremely proud person. Tom taught him a lesson in front of so many people,which made him lose face. He was really angry. However, for the sake of the overall situation, heheld back. He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold. "Tom, do you reallythink you can do what you want after fawning on Malcolm? Hmph!"

A touch talk had been made and then he stared at Malcolm and said in a threatening tone,"Malcolm, I really don't know what you like about Tom and why you defend him like this. However,some people can not be saved. If you exceed your limit, you will be implicated to death!"

When Malcolm heard Rory's threat, his heart beat faster for a second. But immediately, he smileddisdainfully and said after Tom, "Get lost.”

This time, Rory felt more embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and glared at Tom and Malcolm fiercely."Okay, you want me to leave, I'll go. However, we'll see!”

After saying this, he left in a huff. It was just that it could be easily seen that he left in shame andembarrassment.

At this moment, a lot of people around them looked at Tom with surprise and shock in their eyes.They asked each other about Tom, and why Malcolm was so determined to protect him and did nothesitate to offend Rory?

As for why, only Malcolm himself knew. To say the least, the identity of him being the president ofthe ZQ Inc was good enough.

But he was also a little curious. Since that Rory was just a conceit rich bastard who continuedcausing trouble from time to time. How could he have a grudge with Tom? Didn't he know that Tomwas the chairman of ZQ Inc?

Tom walked to the dining table to get something to eat. He hadn't had dinner yet, and now he wasa little hungry.

Malcolm came over and ate with Tom. He was confused, but he didn't ask too much, because heunderstood that poking around might lead to trouble.

After Tom ate something for his stomach, he personally toasted Malcolm and said with a smile,"Thank you for what you did just now.”

Malcolm said hurriedly, "You are being too polite. This is what I should do.”

On Rory's side, it was another story.

"Rory, why didn't you teach them a lesson just now? Malcolm was way out of the line!"

"Yes, Rory. Malcolm is just an old wimp. He's half a foot in the coffin. We don't have to be afraid ofhim."

"And that Tom, he's too arrogant! If it weren't for the engagement banquet of the Knight andGablehauser families, he would definitely suffer!"

"From where I stand, Rory, you're being too kind. You're even willing to let him go like that. I can'tstand it if I were you!"

"That's right..."

They, the rich young men, were all chattering and speaking with righteous indignation. One by one,they scolded fiercely, as if Tom and Malcolm would be killed easily if they just lifted their fingers todo it.

Rory sat down and frowned. There was coldness, hatred, and cruelty between his brows.

After drinking half a glass of wine, he slowly raised his hand. Immediately, those rich young men allstopped at the same time and looked at him in unison.

Although they also came from a wealthy family, they couldn't compare to Rory in any possible way.Usually, Rory was the man in charge.

"Don’t worry. Let these two guys have a good time first and they would suffer later.” As Rory spoke,his cell phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, his face immediately straightened up. He gave thema look for silence, then answered the phone. After a brief chat, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly,"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, the rich guys gathered around and looked at Rory expectantly.

"Do you know who called me just now?" The corners of Rory's mouth rose slightly, and it was ameaningful smile.

They shook their heads and Rory especially enjoyed the feeling of being a show-off. Finally, he said,"It's Mr. Potter."

"Mr. Potter?"

"I'll be damned! It's our underground emperor Mr. Potter of H City!"

"Marvelous, Rory is really awesome. Even Mr. Potter is your connection network.”

"You don't have to say that. Don't you see who Rory is? Isn't it normal for him to know Mr. Potter?"Rory was very pleased to hear the flattery from these rich young men.
