Chapter 18
Phoebe's actions deeply stimulated people in the Scott Family!
Richard rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
The other members of the Scott Family also realized that they had caused great troubles and they all very regretted it. If they had known that Tom knew Samuel, they would not have dared to humiliate Tom like this, let alone drive him out!
Soon, they all blamed Brian for all of these. If this guy hadn't proposed to Phoebe, things wouldn't have been like this!
It's over. It's over. They offended the Howard Family and no one would be able to make a living in the H City.
Samuel left with the gifts he had given Richard.
They walked away for half a minute before someone dared to speak. "Tom. How did he know such a big shot as Samuel?"
His question was the question of everyone, but no one knew the answer.
"Could it be that Tom is also from the Howard Family?" Someone asked timidly.
It was immediately denied. "That's impossible! I've investigated Tom's information. He's a poor man from the countryside. His parents died early, and he can't be a member of the Howard Family. Besides, if Tom was really from the Howard Family, how could he be a son-in-law by adoption of the Scott Family? How could he have suffered four years of cowardice in the Scott Family while the Howard Family remained indifferent to this?"
This inference was approved by others.
"I think Tom must have stumbled into Samuel's favor. He wanted to show off and hold his head high on his father's seventieth birthday this time, so he asked Samuel to come over so that he could do what he wanted!"
"That makes sense. Didn't you hear that Tom just said that Dylan let Logan go for his sake?"
"This Tom is such a pest!"
"Anyway, let's find Tom first. Let Tom explain everything to Samuel and clear up the misunderstanding. Otherwise, our Scott Family will really be finished!"
Phoebe ran out of the hotel in a hurry and did not see Tom. She frantically called Tom while his phone was powered off. She even consulted the security guards at the hotel entrance and the owner of the nearby store. She did not know where Tom went. It was as if Tom had disappeared from her world.
So where did Tom go?
Half an hour ago, he came out of the hotel as if he had lost his soul and ne was already heartbroken.
He walked aimlessly and in a daze. He almost got hit by a car several times.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a noisy voice behind him. Tom looked back and saw a scene that made him angry. There were two young men and two women bullying an elderly.
This old man was a fruit vendor. The fruits of the cart spilled all over the ground. The four young people were stamping the fruits, and they refused to give up even if the old man begged for mercy. They cursed, "Old man, don't you see who we are? How dare you sell us bad fruits? You made us have diarrhea!”
The old man shouted wrongly, "God comes and points out in all fairness. I have never sold bad fruits. You have to be honest when you speak!”
"Old thing, how dare you to argue? Trample all his fruits and see how she will hurt others in the future!”
"Don't step on my fruit. Don't step on my fruit. Please..."
The elderly were about to kneel down and beg them, but they were still indifferent. They were all young people in their early twenties. They had excited and happy expressions on their faces. Doing such a bad thing was very exciting for them, and it was an achievement for them.
Many people were around them but those people did not dare to stand up for justice.
Tom couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly stepped up and shouted to stop!
His shout made everyone look at him, and the four young people stopped trampling on the fruits. "The elderly, did you get hurt?" Tom helped the elderly up and asked with concern.
"I'm not hurt, but my fruits, my fruits...” When the elderly saw the messy fruit in the ground, her tears flowed down.
Tom was very angry and stared coldly at the four young people. "As young people, you bully an old man here. Have your upbringing been eaten by dogs?"
"Who are you? How dare you as you want to meddle in this?!"
"Where did this trash come from? You want to be a hero, right? I'll give you three seconds. Get out of here quickly, or I'll teach you a lesson as well!"
"From the way that he is dressed, I know he is poor.”
"Get out of here, or I'll beat you up too!"
They taunted Tom, and one of the men came over to push Tom.
"I recognize you. Aren't you the useless son-in-law by adoption of the Scott Family?"
A man in white recognized Tom.
Tom also recognized that this guy was Zack's brother-in-law. Tom had met him a few times before and forgot his name. But Tom knew that he was a troublemaker.
"You're Zack's brother-in-law, aren't you? I think you went to school too. Your teacher did teach you to respect the old and love the young, right? Where are your manners, integrity, and shame? A man of twenty came here to bully a weak old people. Don't you feel ashamed?" Tom stared at him and said.
Tom's words were echoed by a lot of people around him and they condemned the four young people.
Zack's brother-in-law's face immediately darkened. He walked up to Tom arrogantly, pointed at Tom's nose, and scolded, "It's none of your business! You are just a trash. If my brother-in-law's Family hadn't raised you, you wouldn't have been able to eat things even like shit! How dare you come here and teach me a lesson?"
Tom frowned. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to argue with him. He said directly to the elderly, "Old lady, I'll send you back. I'll pay you for the fruit you lost personally. Do you think it's okay?"
The elderly looked at the crushed fruit. She shook her head sadly and sighed, "Forget it, young man. This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to pay me. Just think of it as my own bad luck and I just meet a group of beasts.”
Her words immediately provoked the anger of these young people and they all shouted, "Damn old thing. Who the hell are you talking about?"
"I think you want to be in a coffin!"
Tom was also insulted by these people. They were clearly educated young people, but their words were extremely bad and unpleasant to hear.
Tom couldn't listen any longer and cursed back. They were going to come up and hit Tom.
At this moment, an excited and surprised voice came from the crowd. Then, a man in a suit walked over quickly, "Tom!"
When Tom saw this man, he immediately frowned, because it was Zack, who had just made him be like nothing in the hotel.
When Finn saw Zack, he was overjoyed and quickly walked up to Zack. "Brother-in-law, you came just in time. Tom, a trash, dared to call me a beast just now and said a lot of bad things about brother-in-law!"
Hearing Finn's words, Zack immediately had a bad feeling. Then when he saw Tom's cold face, he felt that his blood froze. He stared at his brother-in-law and said with gritted teeth, "Did you scold him just now?"
Finn was very excited. He didn't notice that something was wrong with Zack's expression. He thought Zack was on his side and said as if he was taking credit, "Yes, brother-in-law, I know you hate this trash very much. I just scolded him to death...”
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, Zack kicked him hard in his stomach, causing him to roll twice on the ground and scream. He was confused and didn't understand why his brother-in-law, who was very good to him, would hit him.
