The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 163

After that, he walked over, pulled up the gate with one hand, and left the bar, basking in the warm sunshine.

The woman looked at his back and wanted to catch up with him several times, but in the end, she held back. She knew Tom's character and knew that Tom had made a decision. Even if she went after him, it would be futile and would cause Tom's displeasure.

She sighed bitterly and called them back.

Tom had slept for 18 hours and regained his energy. He was not inclined to depression. His divorce from Phoebe was indeed a relatively sad thing, but it was not enough to defeat him and make him depressed.

Now he had slept, he had recovered a lot and his life had to continue. He had too many things to do.

After getting out of the bar, he went straight to the ZQ Inc and started working.

It seemed that everything was back on track, except for Phoebe.

And what was Phoebe doing?

In fact, she was the exact opposite of Tom. She didn't sleep for long and always woke up early, then went to work.

The divorce was not a small matter for her, although she couldn't figure out why she was so sad because she clearly didn't love Tom.

Finally, she figured out that feelings came along with companionship. But it was not something romantic, instead, she had regarded him as her family. Even if she had lost her dog that had been raised for four years, she would be sad. Let alone a human, right?

It must be like this, she tried to persuade herself.

Only if she devoted all her energy to her work would she not feel sad.

Under her leadership, the SK Company had a new lease of life. Not only had it survived the previous crisis, but it was also thriving. The scale of the SK Company had expanded a lot.

In this regard, she was quite proud and satisfied.

Everything was fine except for the occasional thought of Tom.

...

"I'm not going back!"

Kaylie said to Colton in front of her, her voice full of resentment, and she turned her face away.

Colton came to find Kaylie himself. Originally, he wanted to see Tom, but he had sent his own people to look for Tom, but they couldn't find Tom. In the end, he had to come to find Kaylie himself.

Just like Makai's words, the engagement party would be held the day after tomorrow. If Kaylie still didn't come back, it would be inappropriate.

So he had no choice but to come to Kaylie himself. He only had one daughter, so it was impossible to say that he didn't care about her.

"Dad apologizes to you. Don't be angry with me, okay?" Colton's tone softened a lot.

Kaylie's mother, Laylani, held Kaylie's hand and persuaded her, "Kaylie, you've been out for almost a week. Mom and dad are worried about you at home. If something happens to you, how can we live without you? Now that mom and dad are coming to you, don't be angry anymore. Go home with us."

"Hmph, if you care about me, why are you still forcing me to marry Martin?" Kaylie got angry when she said this. "You know I don't like him."

Laylani and Colton looked at each other and saw the helplessness in their eyes.

"That child is very good. He is sensible, cultured, and capable. And the Gablehausers is a good match for us. And he has a good character. If you marry him, you will be very happy." Laylani said patiently.

Kaylie immediately said disdainfully, "Shit! Tom said that Martin is a scumbag, a playboy. He has hooked up with many women but he pretended to be a gentleman, and none of you elders know it! If I really marry him, I will be in trouble and my life will be over."

Colton and Laylani looked at each other again. Then, Laylani asked, "Kaylie, who is this Tom you're talking about?"

Kaylie rolled her eyes immediately and said disdainfully, "Please mom, stop pretending. Uncle must have told you everything!"

"You little girl, Makai is your uncle no matter what. How can you talk back to him like that?" Colton put on a sullen face and frowned.

"He was the one who was unreasonable first. You didn't see how fierce he was that night. If Tom hadn't come to save me, I would have been tied back by him." Kaylie complained.

Then she began to complain about Makai and said that Makai must have taken advantage of Martin to put in a good word for him.

Colton was a little dizzy when he heard this. He knew that it would not work out. He said directly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Call your little boyfriend home tonight and let mom and dad see who he is. If he really suits you, then we can have a talk."

Kaylie was stunned for a moment, then she opened her eyes wide and said excitedly, "Really?!"

"Of course, have I ever joked with you?" Colton said with a serious face.

"That's true..." Kaylie could not hide her joy in her expression, but she quickly thought of something and immediately became depressed again. The point was that Tom was not her boyfriend but just an ordinary friend. Besides, Tom had just divorced, so it was inappropriate for him to come to meet her parents. And he probably wouldn't agree.

Seeing her hesitation, Colton said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Well, I'll try." Kaylie said awkwardly. Then, she ran to the side and began to call Tom. The result was that she heard 'the number you dial could not be connected'.

She called his number several times, but she still couldn't get through.

In the end, she had no choice but to come over and say, "He has something to do. He can't come. Why don't you wait a while?"

"What?" Colton immediately frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "He's so arrogant that he won't even come to me if I want to see him? Tell me, what does your little boyfriend do and where does he come from?"

Kaylie stammered and couldn't say anything. Well, she really didn't understand what Tom was doing. All she knew was that Tom was once the son-in-law of the Scotts and had just divorced.

However, she couldn't tell her parents this information no matter what. Otherwise, her parents would be furious.

In the end, she went back with her parents.

In fact, she also knew that if she didn't go back at this time, it would be too unreasonable. The day after tomorrow, there would be an engagement party.

She prayed in her heart that it would be best if something happened to Martin and he couldn't attend the engagement party!

So, could Martin come to the engagement party?

The answer was no.

Tom kicked him so hard and the stone almost killed him!

Fortunately, he made a call in time, so his family sent someone over to send him to the hospital in time, saving his life.

"Son, who beat you like this? Tell me!" Sitting next to Martin was an angry middle-aged man.
