The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 99

"What! The Blue and White Porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, James's reaction was great. He opened his eyes wide, stood up instantly and staredstraight at Rory.

Elizabeth was also very surprised in a pleasant way. Her mouth was opened so wide that she couldswallow a fist.

Phoebe was also shocked. Although she didn't know much about antiques, she also knew the Blueand White Porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. It must be very valuable!

She remembered that a National Treasure TV series specially introduced the Blue and WhitePorcelain of the Ming Dynasty. It was said that it was worth millions.

Rory actually spent so much money to please her?

For a moment, she was also very shocked and a special emotion flowed through her heart.

Tom frowned slightly. It seemed that Rory was bound to win over Phoebe. The Blue and WhitePorcelain of the early Ming Dynasty was worth tens of millions if it was really of good quality. Rory,as the Young Master of the TF Company, could totally afford this money. From this, Rory was reallyan opponent to him.

To be honest, Tom was not feeling well. For the first time, he felt a sense of crisis because he knewvery well that his father-in-law and mother-in-law's virtue as they were typically peacockish andgreedy. If Rory really gave them antiques which worthed tens of millions, maybe they would reallybetroth Phoebe to Rory immediately!

Most importantly, it was Phoebe's idea...

He immediately looked over to Phoebe and saw that Phoebe was biting her lips and her eyes werefull of emotions. It was obvious that she was moved. Mr. Howard's heart suddenly thumped and hesecretly cried out that it was bad! Phoebe was moved by Rory's move. This was not a good omen.When Rory saw the reaction of the three of Phoebe's family, he was extremely happy in his heart.The corners of his mouth rose presumptuously, and he deliberately glanced at Tom in a triumphantmanner. His arrogance and disdain were undisguised.

There was a meaning in his eyes. He thought, "Hmph. You are just a son-in-law who lives in thehome of your wife's parents. You are useless, but you still want to fight with me? Rubbish! I justwant to get your wife in front of you. What can you do?"

How could Tom not understand Rory's meaning? His face was also very gloomy now. No matterhow magnanimous and cultured he was, he would still be angry in the face of such a situation. Itwas about a man's dignity!

However, he did not act rashly. He gave Rory a disdainful expression and then smiled. It wasn'tbecause he was thick-skinned and conceded defeat. It was because he was not afraid of Rory at all.Not to mention other things, just his identity as the chairman of the ZQ was enough to defeat Rory.Besides, he had thought about it carefully now. Rory probably wouldn't be so generous to use thereal Blue and White Porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty to please James. The price was too high. Hehad read Rory's information and had a general understanding of Rory. He knew that Rory was notsuch a generous person.

Just wait. Anyway, he also had a real Blue and White Porcelain of the Ming Dynasty in his hand. Atthe worst, he would bring it to his father-in-law. It was no big deal.

"Exactly!" Rory smiled brightly, then handed the gift box which was put in the luxurious package toJames and said, "Uncle, why don't you open it?"

The excitement on James's face could not be concealed. He really liked antiques. He also collectedsome in his study, but they were all of low value. The most expensive one was only a few hundredthousand dollars. The others were also antiques in very recent times, and even if they werecombined together, their value was still lower than the Blue and White porcelain in the early MingDynasty!

Of course. The prerequisite was that you got the real one as the fake one wouldn't be worth much.It never came to his mind that Rory would give him a fake. Rory was the son of the TF Company.How could Rory give him a fake? If Rory really gave him a fake, it would be so disgracing fro Rory.He was almost trembling as he stroked the gift box. "This. How can I accept this? Such an expensiveantique...”

"Alas. I don't like what uncle said. With my relationship with Phoebe, you are my second father. Igive my father the antique which worthes tens of millions. Isn't that a very proper thing to do?" Rorypretended to be unhappy.

However, when James heard this, his expression became even more excited. His lips were trembling."Up, up to tens of millions..."

Elizabeth's eyes were also wide open. Her face was red and her eyes were green. She kept saying,"Wow, tens of millions, tens of millions! Rich. I'm really rich!"

Phoebe's body trembled slightly, and she bit her lips even harder.

Ten million was a huge sum for their Family. One shall know that not long ago, the entire ScottFamily could ask her to give herself to Elliot for just twenty million! Now Rory gave them the antiquewhich worthed tens of millions directly! Besides, antiques were very popular, and the longer theywere kept, the more valuable they were.

A friend in need was a friend indeed. Phoebe needed money very much now, so she was even moremoved and touched by Rory’s gift.

Tom's originally slightly frowned brows were now relaxed. He had some doubts just now whetherRory would really go crazy and give James the real Blue and White Porcelain of the early MingDynasty. But now, he dispelled this doubt. With Rory's character, he would never give a gift whichworthed tens of millions just to chase girls!

First of all, Rory was married, and his wife's Family background was powerful. He did not believe thatRory would really marry Phoebe. Since it was impossible to marry Phoebe, it was even moreimpossible for him to have such a huge cost.

This was interesting.

Elizabeth gave James a push. "Why are you still standing there? It's rare for Rory to be so thoughtfuland give you such a valuable gift. Hurry up and open it!"

James still had some integrity. He knew that with Phoebe and Rory's relationship, it was hard for himto accept such a valuable gift. Besides, Tom was still here.

"Is that a little inappropriate?” James said softly.

Phoebe also reacted and said, "Dad is right. We can't accept such an expensive gift. Brother Zamani,you'd better take it back.”

Rory frowned. He was not happy. He spent tens of thousands of dollars in his friends to buy thishigh-end fake to please the Phoebe and her family members and to slap Tom in the face. If theydidn't accept it, how could he pretend to be something?

"Phoebe! I don't like to hear you say that. What do you mean by saying that you can't accept suchan expensive gift? It's just tens of millions. It's nothing compared to the friendship between you andme!" Rory said seriously, "Uncle, if you still think of me as the man on your side, then take this Blueand White Porcelain, or I would rather smash it!"

As he spoke, he really lifted the box and pretended to smash it!

His actions scared Phoebe and her family members, especially Elizabeth. She was about to pounceon Rory and hug him. Rory must be joking. It was the antique which worthed tens of millions. Shewould rather die than seeing it being smashed.

Phoebe's eyes were a little red and she looked deeply at Rory. She felt that Rory was really good toher. Now, the way he treated her was even better than the way he had treated her four years ago!Compared to Rory, Tom was really too much worse...
