The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 17

"One person is missing? I don't find." Brian said.

Dylan frowned even more. "Are you sure?"

They came for Tom. If Tom weren't here, why did they come here in the first place?

Samuel also stood there with no expression on his face, which made many people of the Scott Family

feel a little scared. At this time, Brian found something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked Richard,

"Grandpa, who didn't come for your 70th birthday tonight?"

Richard looked around and found that all members of the Scott Family were there. This was his 70th

birthday, and he should the main character. Why were those people caring about someone of the

Howard Family?

Confused, Richard shook his head and said, "Everybody's here."

Everyone was here?

Dylan and Samuel saw each other meaningfully. Could it be that Tom was testing them and watching

them in the dark?

That was highly possible..

Soon, they had an idea and decided to play along.

"Hahaha, no, I was just curious." Dylan said while laughing.

Then they all sat down and began to drink with Richard and the others.

Samuel was a big boss. Although he smiled amiably, Richard still felt a lot of pressure. There was a

huge gap in their status, so there was almost no common topic between them. After chatting for a

while, they didn't know what to talk about, and things got awkward between them.

Zack had always wanted and gone all out to have connections with the Howard Family. He rolled his

eyes and said with a smile, "Just now, Mr. Howard said that one person is not here. I suddenly

remembered that we did drive a person away just now. This person is the son-in-law of the Scott

Family. He is trash. Hahaha..."

"Yes!" When Brian heard this, his eyes lit up as if he finally got something to brag about. "I forgot all

about it. This trash doesn't have any ability, but he likes to brag. We just exposed him and you didn't

see how embarrassed he was. He nearly cried in the end. Hahaha, that was a good show.

Unfortunately, you didn't come then. Otherwise, you would have seen that trash in a mess when we

drove him out. Hahaha."

The others also laughed and began to make remarks one by one as if it was something very

interesting. They said how they had bullied Tom and mercilessly driven him out. They spoke with great

interest, not noticing that the faces of Samuel and the others were getting gloomier.

"Is this useless son-in-law you're talking about called Tom?"

Samuel asked, almost trembling.

Brian was gloating. After a few drinks, he was so high that he thought he had reached the peak of his

life. "Yes! Mr. Howard, you know him?"

Hearing that, Samuel closed his eyes and his heart was filled with anger!

This time, he was willing to give up his dignity and come over personally to celebrate Richard's birthday

because he wanted to show Tom some respect... No, it was because he wanted to fawn on Tom!

But Tom was driven out of the Scott Family!

This was very similar to what had happened four years ago. Samuel didn't care about Tom, but he

cared about himself!

After hearing those people mocking Tom, Samuel had already understood. It was obvious that in order

to be found by the Howard Family in the past few years, Tom had married into the Scott Family. He had

hidden his identity and ability and lived a miserable life. Now that Tom had received a large inheritance,

he specially called them over to make a show, but this happened. This was exactly like what had

happened four years ago. So dramatic. Tom must have hated the Howard Family now!

Thinking of the more serious consequences, Samuel trembled with anger.

Bang!

Samuel slammed on the table and made a loud noise, which shocked everyone mocking Tom happily,

especially Brian, who was the closest to him. He even fell to the ground in fear.

All people in the Scott Family looked at Samuel in panic.

"Mr... Mr. Howard, what, what happened?" Richard asked in fear.

Samuel was furious but he laughed instead. He stared at Richard, and gritted his teeth. "Richard, do

you know why I, the head of the Howard Family, came to your birthday banquet?"

Richard's mouth trembled, and he had a bad feeling. "No, I don't know..."

"Because I'm showing my respect to Tom." Samuel's face was cold. "That trash you ruthlessly chased

out!"

Boom!

Richard felt he was hit by a bomb. His face turned pale instantly, and he began to shiver.

Everyone else reacted the same way. Samuel's words directly stunned them all.

Phoebe was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth wide and was completely stunned.

James and Elizabeth couldn't come back to their senses for a long time...

Samuel, who was so superior to them, came to this banquet for Tom?

This... Why did it sound so ridiculous? It sounded so absurd that they couldn't help doubting.

"That's impossible!" Brian, who had just fallen to the ground, got up and said loudly, "Mr. Howard, are

you kidding? Tom is just trash. Everyone in the Scott Family, even the dog, can bully him. To show him

respect? Hahaha..."

Brian had drunk a lot and lost his mind. He was laughing, but no one was laughing with him now.

Samuel and Dylan looked at him coldly, and everyone in the Scott Family was scared out of their wits.

He finally realized something was wrong and said to Dylan, "Mr. Howard, please explain to Mr. Howard. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

You came here for my birthday, not for that useless Tom..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Tom slapped him hard on his face, making a loud noise. He was

made to twirl twice and fell heavily to the ground, half of his face swollen.

"Who do you think you are? If it weren't for Tom's sake that day, I would have destroyed Logan on the

spot!" Dylan said in a murderous tone. He was very angry now, but more afraid. Tom told him to pass

the news to Samuel, but he failed. Now he offended both of them! And the culprit for all this was Brian,

the bastard! He really wanted to kill Brian now!

Brian was sobered up by this slap. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Dylan in horror. Now he

realized that he had caused big trouble!

Not only him, but also Richard and the others were scared and regretful. But they couldn't understand.

Why that good-for-nothing Tom could invite Samuel to this birthday banquet? This didn't make sense!

"Phoebe, what's going on? When did Tom know the Patriarch of the Howard Family? Phoebe, Phoebe,

tell me!"

Elizabeth looked panicked and shook Phoebe's hand, hoping to get the answer from her.

However, Phoebe was petrified and stood there in a daze. She did not move. Her eyes were red and

tears flowed silently. She felt heartbroken and that she could not breathe!

Her mind was filled with Tom...

"Phoebe, don't worry. I won't embarrass you tonight! And I will also make you proud!"

"It's a secret. I can't tell you now. Anyway, just wait and see. I'll make you proud tonight."

"Phoebe, I know you don't believe me. You misunderstand me deeply. But I'll prove it to you."

"If I win, I want you to be my wife, a real wife!"

"Phoebe, have you ever liked me for a second in the past four years of our marriage?"

"I'm sorry to have wronged you for the past four years. I wish you happiness for the rest of your life."

Every word that Tom had said came to her mind. The image when Tom left, heartbroken and listless,

came to her mind too and ruthlessly stabbed her heart like needles, causing her to be in pain and

nearly lose her balance.

It turned out that Tom had never lied to her, but she was never willing to believe in him and had hurt

him over and over again!

The next moment, she rushed out.

She needed to get him back!
