The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 123

When Phoebe heard this, she was dumbfounded. She could not regain her senses at all. She just looked at Tom in a daze and let him hold her hand and leave.

Bang.

Wesley, who had just stayed in the conference room, was stunned by the scene. The phone in his hand fell to the ground.

The noise also woke the other members of the Scotts up.

Richard said hurriedly, "Mr. Cook, wait!"

He stood in front of Elliot, looking bitter and panic-stricken. He said, "Mr. Cook, you have misunderstood us. It's absolutely a misunderstanding! We don't know that the Mr. Howard you're talking about is our son-in-law of the Scotts."

At this time, no matter how many questions and disbeliefs he had in his mind, he could only bury them in his heart. No matter what, he had to keep Elliot here!

Because the Scotts had no other ways, there was no room for retreat. Once Elliot left, SK Company would definitely go bankrupt. The consequences of bankruptcy were unacceptable to all of them.

Elliot said coldly, "It's useless for you to tell me this. You must bring Mr. Howard around."

"It's..."

Richard's face was very bad. To be honest, it was too hard for him to give in to Tom. It was more painful than hitting him directly on the face!

But now, he had no other choice.

So he gritted his teeth and walked up to Tom, trying to squeeze out a smile and said, "Tom, why you didn't tell me about your relationship with Mr. Cook? Grandpa misunderstood you just now."

For the first time in so many years, Richard had called him Tom, and for the first time, Richard had given in to him. He had to say that he felt great about it.

Richard, this old man, was very arrogant and had absolute authority in the Scotts. Phoebe and her parent were extremely afraid of him.

When the people from the Scotts in the conference room saw this situation, they looked terrible. They felt an unprecedented humiliation. Thinking of what they had just said, it was a slap in the face, so hurtful!

In particular, Zack, he still felt the pain on his face. Tom's gorgeous change really made him unable to understand, extremely unwilling, and kept reading in his mind, "Impossible, impossible..."

In fact, every one of them felt that it was too unreal. They could not understand what method Tom used to make Elliot so respectful. This was completely out of reality!

Tom smiled and said, "Hehe, a misunderstanding? I just told you that I would take out a sum of money to invest SK Company. Unfortunately, none of you believed me and mocked me fiercely."

Richard had ever suffered this, especially in front of so many younger generations? His face looked terrible now, and he gritted his teeth. When he saw that loser Tom was so complacent, he was extremely angry and wished he could slap him in the face!

But he didn't dare. Now Tom was his God of Wealth. If he offended Tom, the Scotts would be ruined.

Was there anything more absurd than this in this world?

So, he had to squeeze out a smile again, which was even worse than crying. He said, "Tom, grandpa was wrong about you just now. Don't be angry. I apologize. I'm sorry. Forgive me, okay?"

Richard was old, behaving in arrogant manner for most of his life. It was worse for him to apologize to a useless son-in-law than to kill him! His face was burning with pain.

Tom was not a mean person. On the contrary, he respected the old and loved the young. However, he had no respect for Richard at all, only disdain and disgust. In the four years at the Scotts, he saw clearly how mean Richard treated Phoebe and humiliated him.

Phoebe, on the side, was happy to see her arrogant grandfather lowering his head. If it weren't for Tom, she would never have such a chance for the rest of her life!

Indeed, Richard was her grandfather, but Richard had never loved her since she was a child. She only had awe and complaints to Richard.

Tom chuckled and said, "There is no need. You're Phoebe's grandfather. How can I afford your apology?"
