The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 486

Tom saw the expressions of the four and knew what they were thinking. It was really awkward. Evenif he had thick skin, he couldn't help but blush.

For Phoebe's sake, Tom still took the initiative to say hello. "Hello, I'm Phoebe's husband, Tom."

He was very polite, but no one replied to him.

It wasn't that they didn’t show Tom respect. It was that Tom really looked too down and out now. Hehad nothing to do with the big boss Phoebe was talking about.

Roger looked at Tom carefully. Originally, he had no idea about Phoebe. After all, Phoebe's husbandwas a big boss who Zhu could not offend. But now, seeing that Tom looked like a beggar, Zhuimmediately had some evil thoughts.

Even if Phoebe was already married, it would be nice to have some fun with her, after all, Phoebewas the best in Zhu's eyes. Besides, Phoebe’s husband was an ordinary man at the bottom of thesociety. Zhu was not afraid to offend him

After figuring this out, he immediately perked up and smiled again.

"Phoebe, if I remember correctly, did you just say that your husband is the boss of three bigcompanies?”

"Yes, the chairman of the ZQ Media? Are you sure the one beside you is the one?"

The two women looked doubtful. They didn't believe what Phoebe said.

Phoebe was also very embarrassed now. She did not expect to meet Tom here at all, nor did sheexpect Tom to look like this. She was a thin-skinned person, and her face immediately turned red.She could not help but glare at Tom angrily as if the days when Tom had humiliated her hadreturned.

However, in front of the outsiders, Phoebe still had to save Tom face. She nodded and said, "Yes."But they obviously didn't believe it, because they also had a company, and they knew very well howbig a company ZQ Media was. Since Phoebe's husband was the chairman of the ZQ Media, howcould he be so down and out, like a beggar on the side of the road.

The two salespeople next to them also obviously didn't believe it. They thought that Phoebe wasbragging. They looked at Tom's shabby appearance and if they believed it, they would haveproblems with their 1Q.

Roger tried not to smile and said to Tom, "So it's Mr. Howard. I've heard a lot about you. ZQ Mediais a star company in H City with a market value of more than ten billion dollars. I've always admirethe chairman of the ZQ Media. I didn't expect to meet you here today."

At first glance, his words didn’t sound wrong. He was just expressing his admiration for Tom, butwith his expression, he was trying to mock Tom in a strange way. Immediately, Zhu's tone changedand asked, "Forgive me to ask. Mr. Howard, is your outfit the latest trend?"

His serious teasing of Tom immediately made everyone around him laugh. There were also a fewwomen around him rolling in the aisles. It was as if Tom was a clown.

Even the two women with Phoebe couldn't help but laugh, and their gloating expressions couldn'tbe concealed. They were friends of Phoebe for a long time. They could only be said to be friends asthey had always been secretly jealous of Phoebe's beauty. Just now, when they heard that Phoebehad married a big boss, they felt quite jealous. But now, When they saw Tom, they felt great.

When Roger saw so many people snickering, he was especially proud. He felt that he was toohumorous. He not only humiliated Tom, but also left a better impression on others. He killed twobirds with one stone.

Tom frowned slightly. How could he not tell that Roger was interested in Phoebe?

Phoebe became embarrassed.

"Phoebe, your husband is really interesting. He's dressed in “trendy’ clothes. No wonder he canbecome the chairman of the ZQ Media as he leads the fashion trend!"

"Haha, of course. After all, he's the chairman of the ZQ Media. But I don't think I've heard thatbeggar's clothing is popular now.”

"Phoebe, don't be angry. I was just joking with you.”

"That's right, Phoebe. We're just saying it for fun. Your husband is a big boss. You will bemagnanimous, won't you?"

The two of them began to drip acid with sarcasm. It was disgusting.

Phoebe bit her lips tightly. She now felt a burning pain on her face. It was not because shecomplained that Tom had humiliated her, but because she had just bragged about Tom arrogantly,and then she was slapped by the reality fiercely. It was a shame for her as she was thin-skinned.Tom's expression suddenly became sullen and he said, "Is it funny?"

His aura was very strong. With such a straight face, he immediately made everyone suffocate andbegin to fear. It was as if they were facing their top boss, and the clothing store strangely quieteddown.

The teasing smile on Roger's face froze instantly. Roger looked very funny and awkward.

"No, no..."

"It was a joke just now. Be magnanimous..."

The two female friends hurriedly apologized, and they actually broke out in cold sweat. It wasbecause the pressure Tom had put on them just now was too much for them to bear.

Tom took his eyes back and explained apologetically to Phoebe, "I've dealt with something today, soI become like this. I come into the clothing store specially to buy a set of clothes to wear before I gohome to look for you.”

Phoebe immediately took Tom's hand and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Tom shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm fine."

"That's good." Phoebe heaved a sigh of relief. Tom then asked the salesperson to get him a set ofclothes and he went into the fitting room.

After Tom left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief with their faces full of astonishment. They didn'tknow what had happened to them just now as they actually became afraid of Tom?

This made them feel very embarrassed, especially Roger. Now his expression was particularlygloomy as he thought he was actually intimidated by a beggar's version of trash. It was simply ashame on him!

He was a man who liked to bully the weak and who was afraid of the strong. In his eyes, Tom wasthe kind of weak man that he would never let go of.

Not long after, Tom changed his clothes and walked out of the fitting room. Immediately, manypeople were amazed by him.

Before he went in, Tom was dressed in rags. He was disheveled and even had no shoes. He lookedlike a beggar. But now he was wearing a neat and upscale suit. His tall and slender figure wasshown, and his gentle and jade-like temperament was seen. The great difference stunned everyonepresent.

Tom wasn't very handsome, but he made others feel comfortable as they looked at him. His specialcharm, especially his temperament, and the confidence in his gestures and expressions made himthe focus of the scene.

Phoebe saw that Tom's image had changed, and her eyes lit up immediately. She went up and tookTom's wrist affectionately. Her lines of sight were hot, and she did not hide her enthusiasm for Tomat all. She said, "Tom, you're so handsome."
