The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 436

Hawthorne and Myles looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They all knew who Rufus was. Itwas not too much to call him the Big Brother of W City. His public assets were 670 billion dollars. Ifhis private assets were included, then it might be worth hundreds of billions. It was unbelievablethat Rufus was so loyal to Tom!

And most importantly, Rufus was still a person at the Extrinsic Peak. If he submitted to Tom like this,it meant that Tom's value was far beyond their expectations!

So the way they looked at Tom now became even more different.

So Tom really didn't take the 20 billion dollars seriously.

Hawthorne thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Howard, we didn't think it through. We took theliberty of disturbing you. I'm sorry. Since Mr. Howard wants to rest, we'll take our leave first.”

Tom nodded and went into the bedroom without a response.

Myles sighed regretfully. If they hadn't chosen to draw a line with Tom, it would be a completelydifferent situation now. Alas!

Isabella, who had not spoken for a long time, bit her lips. Instead of following Hawthorne and theothers, she stayed and looked at Tom's figure. Then she gritted her teeth and walked in

Elliot was stunned and said quickly, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop!"

The other the Paynes people who were about to leave were also shocked.

Isabella bit her lips and said firmly, "I have something to say to Tom!"

Elliot said with a cold face, "How dare you call Mr. Howard by his name?!"

Myles also quickly came up, grabbed Isabella, and said in a low voice, "Isabella, what are you doing?Pay respect to Mr. Howard!"

Isabella said seriously, "I'm not disrespectful to him. I just want to talk to him alone.”

"Well..." Myles didn't know what to say for a moment.

As Elliot was about to scold her with a cold face, Tom's voice came from the bedroom. "Let her in.""Yes, Mr. Howard." Elliot nodded immediately, not daring to say anything more. He stepped asideand let Isabella in.

After a while, the others left the office, leaving only Isabella in Tom's office.

"Go ahead.” Tom said faintly.

Isabella looked at Tom now, feeling he was very strange and distant.

In retrospect, she was in a very complicated mood. When she first met Tom, she still looked downon him at that time. But now, she looked up to Tom.

Taking a deep breath, Isabella said, "I'm sorry about what happened last time. Our the Paynes letyou down, but I hope you can give us a chance to make up for it, okay?"

Seeing that Tom was still expressionless, Isabella took two more steps forward, bent down, lower herprofile, and said in a pleading tone, "Brother Tom, for the sake that we are friends..."

"Is that enough?” Tom didn't let her continue. He interrupted her directly. Isabella's face froze. "Ifyou finish your speaking, go out. I want to rest.”

From the beginning to the end, Tom's attitude was very cold, and he did not take Isabella seriouslyat all. It was not that he was mean, but because that the Paynes’ approach really broke his heart.Now that the Paynes saw that he had risen up, they tried to curry favor with him. But how could herespond to them again? His principles were not that cheap!

Isabella felt Tom's cold. He completely ignored her, which made her extremely sad!

"What if I'm willing to be your woman?" Isabella bit her lips tightly and asked him. When she saidthis, even she herself was frightened. Ever since she was a child, she had always been extremelyarrogant and cold to everyone. Now for the first time, she gave in to Tom!

Tom was also a little surprised. He finally looked at Isabella. Seeing Isabella's arrogant and unwillingexpression, he smiled again and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you."

"You!"

Isabella was immediately irritated. She behaved like this, putting down all her dignity and pride. ButTom still ignored her, which was a great blow to her character!

An unprecedented grievance swept through her heart. Finally, her nose couldn't help but ache andtears flowed down her face.

Stomping her feet, she glared at Tom and scolded, “Tom, you bastard!"

After that, she turned around and ran away.

Tom was a little surprised. He didn't expect Isabella to react so largely. Then he shook his head andsmiled. He didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, Isabella was just an immature girl.

After closing the door, he rested in the bedroom for a while and woke up refreshed.

The next day, the Cloud and Sky Pavilion sent their people here. They were also willing to paycompensation in order to apologize to him, hoping to make friends with Tom.

Because the Cloud and Sky Pavilion's attitude was sincere enough and they lower their profiles, Tomdid not make things difficult for them and expressed his goodwill.

Over the next few days, people kept coming to visit Tom. Tom didn't refuse anyone who came. Heexpressed his intention to the outside world through this action that he, Tom, could forget the pastgrudges, but they must provide enough gifts. And this could only happen once. If something similarhappened, he wouldn't have this attitude!

As for the Paynes, Tom did not continue to make things difficult for them. After all, the Paynes wasalso a big family in G State. It would not be good for him if they really formed a bad relationship.So a week later, Tom took the initiative to bury the hatchet with the Paynes. Of course, he took the20 billion from the Paynes as compensation.

Now, all of Tom's assets added up to 150 billion! This still didn't count what Rufus gave him. If it wasincluded, his personal assets would break through 200 billion dollars. It would be enough for him toenter the richest people list of H Country!

Of course, Tom didn't care much about this. Money was already a number to him, and it didn'tmean much.

Not long after, Rufus also took the time to come to H City. He prepared a first-class Purification Pillto step into the Innate Realm.

With Tom's protection this time, his confidence was greater than ever.

In fact, it was true. Tom personally protected him for ten days. Every time he couldn't hold on, Tomhelped him mitigate the effects of the Purification Pill. In the last ten days, Rufus finally stepped intothe Innate Realm!

However, his Innate Realm was much lower than Tom's. They were not at the same level.

In the past, Rufus was still at the Extrinsic Peak. What he only knew was that Tom was powerful. Buthe could not fully feel how powerful Tom was. Now that he had broken through the Innate Realm,he finally realized what a realm Tom had reached!

For a moment, he was more in awe of Tom.

Tom's life resumed to simplicity. For the next month, Tom lived a very leisurely life. He practicedevery day and nothing big happened.

This kind of life made him feel very comfortable, but he knew that with his current status andcultivation, it would not last for long.

Sure enough, not long after, an incident completely broke his peaceful life.
