The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 55

Tom opened his mouth and tried to persuade Phoebe to stay, but he couldn't shout out. He slapped himself hard and scolded himself for being a fool. He was so careless that he didn't know that he shall deal with the smell before he came back. "Tom, where's your brain?" He thought.

Tom was very upset, but there was nothing he could do. Now that Phoebe was obviously angry, it was useless for him to go in and explain. Instead, if he did that, it would be counterproductive. It seemed that only when Phoebe's anger subsided tomorrow could he explain to Phoebe properly.

But on the other hand, it's not a bad thing. At least it meant that Phoebe still cared about him, right?

After taking a shower, Tom continued to live in the living room. He finally got the chance to go back to the room to sleep two days ago, but in less than a day, he was kicked out again. What a failure.

Tonight, Tom lost sleep again. He didn't fall asleep until after three o'clock in the night. The next day, he was sleeping soundly. He was slapped and suddenly woke up. Then he heard his mother-in-law's voice. "Tom. Damn it. It's already three o'clock in the day. You're still sleeping here. Pigs aren't as lazy as you. Get up!"

Tom shuddered when he heard this voice. He quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He saw two other people in the room besides his mother-in-law, looking at him with disdain and ridicule.

He recognized them immediately. These were relatives of his mother-in-law Elizabeth's family members. Why did they come here today?

He looked at the time. It was only eight o'clock now.

"Elizabeth, why is your son-in-law sleeping in the living room? Shouldn't he sleep with Phoebe?" A middle-aged woman asked.

Elizabeth said, "What a damn son-in-law? He's just trash who lives in his wife's parents' home. He has no status in our family. How can Phoebe sleep with him?"

One of the middle-aged men smiled and said, "That's it. You got a son-in-law who lives in his wife's parents' home. And he comes here as a servant. He specializes in helping you with the housework, right? You have a good idea."

Elizabeth was not ashamed but felt proud. She nodded and said, "Of course, he usually does all the housework in our house. He's better than a nanny. Three meals a day is enough for him."

In the past, Elizabeth would not ridicule Tom like this in front of her family members, not to mention that Tom helped them cheer up at the family dinner the night before and take back their deprived shares. However, it was later that she realized that Malcolm had only respected Tom for the sake of the Howard Family. Now that this favor had been used, Malcolm would never talk to Tom again. In other words, Tom was still the useless son-in-law and nothing had changed.

And when she got up this morning, she saw Phoebe had dark circles under the eyes and didn't sleep well. After asking, she found out that Tom, trash, had actually gone out drinking and playing last night, and even brought a bad smell to the house! At that moment, she was angry. In her opinion, it was a gift to Tom as they gave Tom a bite to eat. Tom should be loyal to the Scott Family as a royal dog.

It was unforgivable for him to run out and go on the racket.

If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, she would have wanted to beat Tom up to vent her anger.

When the guests heard Elizabeth's words, they all burst into laughter. The house was filled with joy.

"Elizabeth, I think Phoebe is still young, beautiful, and in good condition. She can't live with that trash for the rest of her life, can she? I happen to know a few young men in my unit who are single, good-looking, and have a good family background. I can introduce them to Phoebe." Elizabeth's brother, Wilson, said with a smile.

"Yes, Elizabeth. Phoebe is such a good girl. It's a waste to be with a useless husband." Wilson's wife added.
