The Vengeful Son-in-law

“Tom, are you crazy?"

As soon as she got in the car, Phoebe scolded him angrily and pinched him hard on the arm. Phoebe rejected Rory's invitation to go for coffee and went home with Tom.

Tom was pinched very painful, so he grimaced, but he was happy in his heart. This was a sign of a closer relationship between Phoebe and him. If this had happened in the past, Phoebe would not have made physical contact with him like this, even if she was angry with him. Now Phoebe pinched him, it meant that Phoebe was subconsciously accepting him, wasn't it?

"No, I went for a physical examination last month. I'm in good health.” Tom held back his happiness and said seriously.

Phoebe was even angrier. She pinched him again and scolded, "Stop acting! Who is talking about that?"

"Then what are you talking about?" Tom blinked and found that Phoebe’s angry and puffy face was really cute.

Phoebe said, "What did you just say? Give me a hundred million as a gift. Are you bragging? What do you want Rory to think of me? To let him think I married a lunatic?”

Tom snorted and said, "Well, I thought you blamed me for slapping him."

Hearing this, Phoebe was even angrier. "How dare you say that? That slap just now made his face swell up!"

"He asked me to do that! He closed his eyes, so I can't refuse him at his request. I'm just obeying his wishes. Didn't you see that after he was slapped, he was relieved?” Tom said seriously.

Phoebe thought of Rory's confused and embarrassed look just now. She wanted to laugh but immediately realized that it was not proper. She quickly held it back and glared at Tom and scolded him, "He was pretending to be that. If you hit him like this, he will definitely take revenge on you with his character.”

Tom shrugged and said indifferently, "I don't care. He wants to take advantage of you, then I'll give him a slap. If it happens again, I'll beat him off."

Phoebe said, "You are just bragging. Rory is a karate master. Few people could beat him. If you really fight with him, you would probably lose.”

Tom smiled and did not respond. He had felt it just now. Rory's skill was mediocre and was not on the same level as him at all

Suddenly, Phoebe noticed something different and stared at Tom, "I think you've changed.”

"Ah?" Tom was stunned. He touched his face and said, "No, I'm still me."

Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Not your appearance! I said you're a different person. You've changed. You become more confident and your aura is stronger than before.”

"So that's it..."

Tom was shocked and then relieved. Ever since he inherited more than 50 billion dollars from his grandfather, he had indeed changed a lot. He put down the shackles in his heart and slowly returned to his original character.

"Really? Maybe it's because I found a job." Tom touched his nose and said.

Phoebe gave him a dirty look without much doubt or concern. She and Tom had always been in a cooperative relationship, not a real couple. At least she had always thought so.

After a pause, Phoebe said seriously, "Tom, don't blame me for not reminding you that Rory is a penny-pinching person. You slap him today, he won't let you go. You'd better apologize to him and beg for his forgiveness. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear his methods!"

Tom was deeply disdainful. With his current ability and status, how could he be afraid of Rory's revenge? If he didn't bother Rory, Rory should feel lucky.

However, this was Phoebe's advice, and he was still very moved. At least it showed that Phoebe was concerned about him.

"Well, if he came to trouble me, I'll call you as soon as possible.” Tom said with a smile.

Phoebe nodded, feeling that although Tom's method was a little useless, it was finally useful. Thinking of the thing about "one hundred million dollars”, Phoebe frowned again and wanted to scold Tom, but she stopped before she could speak it out. No need. It's useless because Tom wouldn't take it seriously. Anyway, it was just a joke. It was normal for Tom to embarrass her. Thinking of this, Phoebe was relieved.

Tom did not know that Phoebe had labeled him "pompous". Of course, even if he knew it, he would not explain much. When he personally took out a hundred million dollars to Phoebe, all doubts would naturally be solved.

He originally intended to send Phoebe home, but halfway, Phoebe received a phone call from Richard. Even without turning on the speaker, Tom could hear Richard's angry scolding in the microphone. Richard scolded Phoebe fiercely but Phoebe did not say anything from the beginning. Her face was expressionless as she quietly listened to Richard's tirade. Only at the end did she say, "I don't want to go to the company now, let's talk about it tomorrow. That's it, I'm hanging up.”

After that, she hung up the phone and turned it off.

Even if she turned her head out of the window, Tom could still see her red eyes and rolling tears in her eyes.

Tom's heart became gloomy as well.

After a while, he said softly, "Phoebe, don't be sad. It's not your fault but the environment."

Phoebe was stunned for a moment, then she said, "You don't understand.”

Tom said seriously as never before, "No, I know!"

Phoebe turned her head to look at him and saw the seriousness in his eyes. She was silent for a while but still shook her head without saying anything.

Tom didn't lie. He really knew how the feeling, because he had the same experience before? Even his condition was worse than Phoebe's and the whole family rejected him because he was an illegitimate child. After his father passed away, no one would protect him anymore!

Thinking of that experience, he sighed deeply in his heart, and the atmosphere was silent.

After sending Phoebe home, Tom had a quick meal and began to do the housework and wash the all family's clothes.

With Phoebe's "Rescue," he no longer had to wash his mother-in-law's clothes, and finally found some dignity as a son-in-law.

After everything was settled, he went out. He went to the ZQ Company to explain to Elliot that he wanted to invest in Scott Family of 100 million dollars in two days to fulfill his promise!
