Of course, Tom wouldn't be angry just because of Rory's ridicule. He was used to beingmisunderstood and ridiculed. "Rory, it seems that you came here prepared as you had investigatedmy information clearly. Presumably, you had also calculated that Phoebe would appear in Martin'svilla. When Phoebe needed help the most, you would appear and save Phoebe as a savior. At thattime, Phoebe would naturally be grateful to you and pledge to marry you. Good plan. Good plan.”When Phoebe heard this, her face changed slightly.

She was a smart person. Following Tom's words, she immediately understood that Rory had longknown that she was at Martin's place and she was in danger and needed to be rescued. Rorydeliberately waited until the critical moment to appear, and she would naturally be grateful to Rory.Most importantly, she would owe him another big favor in an invisible way!

Rory's pupils constricted in an instant, and some panic and guilt flashed through his eyes!

His eyes darkened. Obviously, Tom was right. He did know in advance that Phoebe was there. Infact, he had already come back last week, but he didn't rush to replace Phoebe immediately. Instead, heset up a plan, figured out Phoebe's character, and then succeeded in a single shot.

During this period, he also went to investigate Tom's identity on purpose. He knew the old sayingthat "Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger ofdefeat”. He was a very cautious person. He had to be more than 80 % sure of everything before hestarted to do it.

In his information, Mr. Howard was a useless son-in-law. Mr. Howard was unable to do anythingeven if Mr. Howard was given the chance. And Mr. Howard couldn't pose a threat to him.

But now it turned out that Tom was not a uselss man, but a courageous and resourceful opponent!A single sentence of Mr. Howard made him fall short of success for lack of a final effort.

For this reason, Rory looked deeply at Tom, and soon he made the most correct reaction. He did notdeny it, but he generously admitted it, "Yes! I did know that you were with Martin, and I knew thatMartin had an ulterior motive for you. I also deliberately started to appear at your most dangeroustime, creating a heroic phenomenon to save the beauty.”

Rory's generous admission surprised Tom, but the next moment, Mr. Howard immediately realizedthat it was not good. He couldn't help but look at Rory deeply and “praise’ Rory.

What a good countermine.

It seemed that this Rory was really a master. He was not a fool like Brian and Charles.

Phoebe's reaction was not as fast as Tom's. Her face immediately turned cold. She looked at Rorymore coldly and disgustedly.

Then Rory slapped himself hard. It was loud, and Phoebe's cold expression immediately becameshocked. "Brother Zamani, you..."

Rory stared at Phoebe and said, "Phoebe, I admit that what I did just now was despicable. I lied toyou. I deserve to die! For the past four years, I have been thinking of you every day, every hour,every minute and every second! I want to make you feel good about me so eagerly. I want to getyou back so much. This made me make such a wrong choice! Do you know? In the past four years, Ihave fantasized about meeting you countless times. I have imagined more than ten thousandscenes! I'm so scared at the thought that when I see you again, you wouldn't recognize me anymoreand you wouldn't care about me anymore. This is something I can't accept, so I panicked, lost mymind, and made such a bad decision. I hope you can look me in the eye again!"

"Phoebe, I was wrong. Scold me. Even if you hit me, I won't make any complaints!" At this point,Rory closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, waiting for Phoebe’s slap.

When Tom saw Rory's behavior, he had to admire Rory. Rory had a lot of methods one afteranother. He knew Phoebe's character so well. In this way, how could Phoebe still hate him?

Of course, admiration was admiration while the opponent was still the opponent. Since Rory hadalready asked for a slap, he would naturally not miss this opportunity.

While Phoebe was in a daze, he suddenly extended his hand and slapped Rory on the face. With aloud slap, Rory spun around and half of his handsome face swelled up.

Phoebe was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Rory was even more dumbfounded. He opened his eyes, covered his face, and looked at Phoebe indisbelief. "Phoebe, you..really hit me.”

Phoebe glared at Tom and coughed twice. It was awkward

When Rory saw Phoebe's gaze, how could he not understand that it was Tom that slapped him?

In an instant, the fire in his heart rose to the sky and he almost exploded.

This useless son-in-law dared to take the opportunity to hit him! It was unforgivable! When did he,Rory, the God's favored one, suffer such grievances?

"Tom, it's you?!" He could no longer maintain his composure. He gritted his teeth and glared atTom. He clenched his fists, wishing he could immediately pounce on Tom and fight for his life.

Of course, Tom couldn't admit it. He turned his face away and whistled as if nothing had happened.When he heard Rory's words, he pretended to turn his head around and blinked, "Mr. Zamani,what's wrong? Ouch, why is your face swollen? Phoebe, you shall mind your strength. Look at Mr.Zamani. You've beaten Mr. Zamani and made his head into a pig's head. Even if Mr. Zamani is a littledespicable and plays a little more tricks, you can't do this to him, can you?"

Seeing Tom's despicable look, Rory was even angrier. The anger in his chest was about to burst outand he gritted his teeth.

Phoebe, on the other hand, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Why hadn't she noticed that Tomwas so “despicable’ before?

Hearing Phoebe's laughter, Rory really couldn't resist the anger. His teeth were about to be bittenoff by him. He was so aggrieved.

Phoebe coughed twice and said seriously, "Brother Zamani, don't take Tom seriously. He's abarbarian.”

Rory gritted his teeth and said nothing.

When Phoebe saw that Rory was really angry, she glared at Tom again and continued to say to Rory,"Brother Zamani, I can't make the decision about the fifty million dollars financing to the ScottFamily that you mentioned. I need to report back to grandpa. If you're not in a hurry, wait for onenight. I'll give you an answer as soon as possible tomorrow, okay?"

Phoebe looked businesslike. There was no sign of being touched.

Rory felt as if he had eaten shit. He had prepared everything today. First, he saved Phoebe atPhoebe's most dangerous time, and then he took out 50 million dollars to solve the Scott Familycrisis. He thought that he could take Phoebe down in one fell swoop!

As a result, they were all destroyed by this beast, Tom.

He really had the urge to tear Tom apart.

Now that Phoebe was obviously not moved by him anymore and she still asked him to took out 50million dollars. This feeling was really annoying.

But now, things would be worse if he broke his promise. He could only make a rod for his own back.
