The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 26

Elliot and the others were also very surprised. They were still confused. They didn't understand whyBob had offended the new chairman. They quickly distanced themselves from Bob to draw a linebetween them, afraid that they would get into trouble.

Bob caught on and said wrongly, "Chairman, what did I do wrong? Why are you firing me?"

Tom stopped, looked at Patrick and said, "Ask him yourself.”

Hearing this, Bob, no matter how stupid he was, realized that Patrick had offended the newchairman! He just wanted to give himself a big slap now. He was so oblivious. When the newchairman mentioned Patrick just now, the chairman obviously did not look happy! But he hatedPatrick even more. This scumbag was so stupid! Patrick actually provoked the new chairman andeven implicated him. He must not lose this job as a human resource manager.

He hurriedly explained, "Chairman, this is a misunderstanding! I've long disliked Patrick. This guy is aparasite of the company who holds down a job without doing a stroke of work and makes nocontribution. He will only use his little power to secretly sleep with new employees. I've long wantedto fire him!"

Then he shouted at Patrick with a cold face, "Patrick, from now on, you're fired. Take your things andget out of here!”

This twist made the women who were about to seduce dumbfounded. Their impression of Patrickchanged completely. They only thought that Patrick was a piece of trash, not even as good as shit.On the contrary, the more they looked at Tom, the more handsome they found him. Even though hewas wearing some cheap clothes that only cost dozens of dollars, he still exuded an air of nobility.And Megan was already speechless. She still felt unreal. Was this man still the jerk she knew?

Patrick panicked and ran over, crying and apologizing. "Chairman, I was wrong! It was my fault that Ifailed to recognize you and offend you! I won't dare to do it again! Please don't fire me. This job isreally important to me, please!”

As he spoke, he slapped himself. There was no such thing as arrogance in his look anymore. Now hewas just a stray dog.

Tom ignored him and said to Bob, "When you pay him the bill, add two thousand dollars ascompensation for scraping his car. Moreover, if I see him in ZQ from now on, you won't have tocome to work."

After saying this, he walked straight into the ZQ Building and ignored Patrick's heart-wrenchingconfession.

From the beginning to the end, he did not look at Megan.

His indifference was worse for Megan than hitting her in the face!

At the same time, Megan couldn't figure it out. Wasn't Tom the useless son-in-law of the ScottFamily? For so many years, he couldn't even replace a job. He did housework at home every day andwashed his mother-in-law's underwear. How did he change and become the chairman of the ZQMedia? Was something wrong?

Megan couldn't figure it out. She called Phoebe. "Hey, Phoebe, what are you doing? I've been doingwell recently, um... Well, I want to ask, what's your husband Tom's background?"

Phoebe was upset. She was going to sleep with Mr. Cook tonight, but when she came back at noon,she found that Tom had not signed the divorce agreement, and she didn't know where he hadgone. She was especially fretful. Now that she received a call from Megan who mentioned Tom, thedisgusting guy, she became even more annoyed. "What background can he have? He's just acountry bumpkin from the countryside! I really regretted marrying him back then!"

"Are you sure he's really a poor man from the countryside, not someone from a super-rich family?"Megan asked with a frown.

Phoebe immediately became vigilant and said in a deep voice, "Megan, did Tom ask you for money?I tell you, don’t lend it to him, and don't believe him! Coming from a super-rich family? To hell withhim! He's just a country bumpkin who's as poor as a church mouse! I should have listened to youand divorced him directly!”

"Is that so?" Megan's tone was a little strange.

"Megan, why do you suddenly ask about Tom?" Phoebe asked doubtfully, “Is he by your side?"

"No, no!" Megan quickly denied it and said, "I just met someone who looks like Tom, so I'm curiousto ask you. Since I'm mistaken, that's fine. I'll see you another day."

After hanging up the phone, Megan began to sort things out with her beautiful eyes rolling.Judging from Phoebe's tone just now, she was very angry with Tom. It was obvious that therelationship between the couple was not good, and most importantly, Tom did not tell Phoebe thathe was born in a super-rich family. Then she had a good chance of replacing Phoebe!

Megan was a very calculating person, especially good at seducing men. Patrick had already beenfascinated by her without even touching her hand. She believed that as long as she had the chanceto get close to Tom, with her beauty and means, she could definitely conquer him!

Moreover, Tom used to peek at her when she visited Phoebe's house, obviously interested in her.She used to feel disgusted, but now she just thought it was great. If she could catch herself such arich husband, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life. She would enjoy endless wealth!After all, he was an amazing person who could spend more than two billion dollars to buy the ZQMedia.

As for the misunderstanding just now, Megan was very regretful, but it was not a big deal. She knewmen very well. Now Tom must be very eager to hold his head high in front of her and wait for her torepent and apologize. At that time, she would cooperate and show her weakness. It was best to takeadvantage of the opportunity to win Tom's heart. With her skills, she could get Tom under herthumb!

Thinking of the beautiful scene, she began to laugh evilly.

Tom did not know that he had been targeted by Megan. Now he was surrounded by Elliot and theothers. He walked into the ZQ Building and felt very comfortable listening to them trying to curryfavor.

Of course, he did not forget his original intention to buy the ZQ Media. Now that he was thechairman, he naturally wanted to have a deeper understanding of ZQ so that he could make plansfor the future. He was hoping that ZQ would make a big profit for him.

Seeing that Tom was so young, although Elliot and the others were very respectful to him on thesurface, they still thought that Tom was just born into a super-rich family and didn't have muchability. He only bought ZQ at such a high price to play with female stars.

But soon, when they reported ZQ's situation to Tom and heard his opinion and the analysis of themarket, they couldn't help but be surprised. They put away their contempt for Tom and were moreshocked by his vision and thoughts. He was not some playboy, but a really capable man. Many ideasand plans that he put forward made their eyes light up.

Tom was originally a business genius and at least a third of the Howard Family's wealth was createddirectly or indirectly by him. Now he must have no problem running a small ZQ Company.Moreover, he was steady in his work. Before he bought the ZQ Media, he knew a lot about thecurrent situation of the company, so naturally, he could hit the nail on the head.

He was now a new official, but he was not in a hurry to launch a plan. He still maintained theoriginal model first, and when the time was ripe, he would take action.

After the meeting, he evacuated everyone except Elliot. "Mr. Cook, stay here for a while.”

When Elliot saw his solemn expression, his heart thumped, and he began to feel uneasy. He tried torecall that from the time he received Tom where he did not do well and caused Tom's discontent."Chairman, I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct my mistake!" Elliot admitted his mistakefirst, showing his good attitude.

Tom didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Elliot. He really wanted to fireElliot. After thinking for a moment, he said meaningfully, "Mr. Cook, you've been very powerfulrecently. Lending 20 million dollars to the Scott Family in exchange for a beautiful woman to sleepwith you for three days."
