The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 203

Tom smiled without a word, watching them groveling to him. He couldn't feel more at ease.

Four years ago, it was this group of people who had completely ignored the blood tie between them, framed him up abruptly and driven him away from the Howards with sticks. Now he could still remember that scene very clearly. In the first two years, he had often had nightmares and woken up in fear and cold sweat!

Now that things had changed, it was their turn to fawn on him. What an irony!

After flattering Tom for a few minutes, their mouths went dry, but Tom was totally unmoved and stared at them with a smile. His expression revealed that they were a bunch of clowns and he was watching them making a show of themselves, which annoyed and shamed them so much.

If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to ask Tom for help because he had got so much money in his account, they would long have been rude to him!

At this moment, Samuel said, "Tom, come here. It's been some time since you arrived and no one has served tea to you. Let me pour you a cup of tea. Just cool down a little."

Samuel poured Tom a cup of tea in person and served it to him as he spoke. It was a huge gift because Samuel was now the master of the Howards, as well as the elder of Tom. Therefore, it was a great honor for Tom to be served tea by him personally.

To many members of the Howards present, this scene was an insult. As the master of the Howards, Samuel was actually reduced to serving tea to Tom, someone of the younger generation. If it had been in the past, such a scene wouldn't have happened at all.

Tom didn't stand up. He took over Samuel's tea with one hand, took a sip happily, and exclaimed with sincerity, "Great tea."

Samuel forced a bigger smile and said, "Tom, now that you've drunk the tea, and everyone has apologized to you, how much are you going to offer to save the Howards since we're in trouble right now?"

Everyone's eyes fixed on Tom. They held their breath and began to get nervous.

Tom answered awkwardly, "Grandpa passed the money to me, and I can't just draw on it randomly."

Hearing this, many began to curse Tom in heart.

Owen stared coldly at Tom from the side without a word. No one knew what he was thinking.

Samuel raised his eyebrows and said more flatteringly, "Tom, don't worry. I won't let you pay out for nothing. Like what I said just now, I will write you an IOU and guarantee to pay back the money to you within three years, with interest. In three years, you will earn billions of interest. Besides, I will disclose your identity to everyone and restore your identity as Second Young Master of the Howards. Aren't you the live-in son-in-law of the Scotts now? I can visit the Scotts in person and tell them your real identity. From now on, no one dares to look down on you anymore."

Apart from the feud between the Howards and Tom, Samuel's words were indeed very tempting. Once Tom loaned the money to the Howards, he would get billions of interest in three years without doing anything, and his identity as Second Young Master of the Howards would also be restored. It could be imagined how shocked and remorseful the Scotts would be when they learned this news. Including Phoebe's family, they would be astonished too, and then, Tom would definitely hold his head high.

But...

Would Tom be so gullible?

With his knowledge of the Howards, Tom was 100 % sure that as long as he transferred the 58.9 billion to their account, he would never get it back. As for the IOU and the interest, they were lying.

"Well, uncle, four years have passed. Am I still that naive in your eyes?" Tom put down the teacup and stared at Samuel meaningfully.

Suddenly, the smile on Samuel's face froze and he looked so funny. A brief silence hung over the place.

Bang!

Michael couldn't hold himself back anymore. He smacked his hand down on to the table, stood up, pointed at Tom and snarled, "Tom, you're going beyond your depth! My father has already taken care of your feelings. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"

The look on Tom's face didn't change at all, as if Michael was not in the same dimension with him at all. Tom completely ignored him.

Tom even said to Samuel with a smile, "Uncle, what kind of tea is this? It's tasty. May I bring some back with me?"

Michael was not a good-tempered person to begin with. He flew into a rage because Tom was ignoring him! The corner of his mouth began to twitch violently. He was the biological son of Samuel, the master of the family. His family status was only beneath Owen, yet even Owen had to be polite to him. When had Michael been so wronged like this? He could instantly feel the anger that he had never felt before, rising from the soles of his feet, and rushing straight to the top of his head.

Michael's eyes were gleaming with anger. Teeth clenched, he was about to come up and teach Tom a lesson.

But the next moment, he was stopped by someone. It was Owen, who shook his head gently at him and said, "You are no match for him."

Michael had always respected Owen. Although he was unconvinced, he still held himself back for the sake of Owen.

Samuel looked deeply into Tom's eyes. What Tom had done just now was not only an insult to Michael, but also a hard slap across the face to him too. No matter how cunning or composed he was, Samuel showed some anger uncontrollably at this moment.

Samuel took a deep breath and held back his anger for the sake of the interests of the whole. When he obtained the money from Tom, there would be plenty of opportunities for him to teach Tom a lesson!

Therefore, Samuel continued with a smile, "This is the best black tea we can find in H City. Tom, if you like it, I'll get however you want for you."

"Really? Then give me five kilograms first," Tom grinned and said.

Samuel's lips twitched again. Five kilograms of top-quality black tea. Did Tom think it was something easy to get, like cabbages?

People had a lot of complaints about Tom, but they didn't dare to show it.

"Okay, I'll get it for you later." Samuel felt his face was getting stiff from smiling. Ever since he had become the master of the family, he had never been so aggrieved like this!

After a pause, Samuel went on, "Tom, so about the matter we were talking about just now…"

Tom interrupted him and said, "Uncle, it came so suddenly, and I'm a little flustered for now. Well, I'll think about it when I get back."

Damn it!

Samuel cursed in mind. He was really pissed off at Tom, and might flare up at any time. How come he hadn't found out that Tom was such a nasty being before? He was so stubborn.

Samuel winked at the others to plead with Tom together. Their pride didn't matter for the time being. What they needed to do was obtain the money from Tom first.

It was such a spectacular scene that all of a sudden, so many people were asking Tom for a favor. Wes was watching everything not far away, and it felt so unreal. Wes was aware that people present were all of high social status and could get anything they wanted, but now, they were pleading with Tom together... It could be imagined that if he recorded a video of this scene and spread it around, it would cause an uproar in society.

Finally, Tom seemed to have been swayed. He was visibly moved and said, "Alas! My cousins and uncles, please say no more. Now that the Howards is in trouble, I do have a duty to save our family. After all, the Howards' blood is also running in my vessels, right?"

Everyone was happy to hear that. They exchanged glances and could see the joy of victory in each other's eyes.

They had spared no effort to shatter Tom's resolution, and finally, he was moved. Hahaha...

"That's right, Tom. I knew you were generous and wouldn't bother yourself arguing with us."

"Exactly. We all have the same blood in our bodies, and we are the closest family in the world. Now that our family is in trouble, Tom, you will definitely not watch us die."

"I wonder how much money you're willing to pay, Tom?"

That was the point. Everyone stared at Tom, wondering how much money he would give.

At this moment, Tom said, "I have over 58.96 billion in my account now. How about this? What you've said is right. I'm also a member of the Howards. I'm willing to offer 64,623,031.25 dollars to help the Howards get through the difficulties, because I'm also part of the Howards. You don't have to write an IOU for this money. Just think of it as a free donation from me to the Howards. How about that? Aren't I generous?"

Sixty-four million six hundred and twenty-three thousand and thirty-one point two five dollars, it was exactly the fraction of the money in Tom's account.

When Tom said this, everyone's expression changed at once. They looked extremely furious and ashamed...

At this point, anyone had figured out that Tom had been teasing them all along!

Sixty-four million was not even a drop in the bucket, compared to the current financial deficit of the Howards!

Humiliation, this was a blatant humiliation. This was the equivalent of Tom giving each of them a violent slap across the face, and now they were suffering from the burning pain.

Even Samuel, who was at an excellent cultivation level, couldn't hold himself back anymore at this moment. He turned hostile all of a sudden. The moment before, it was still sunny. At this moment, there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder!

The others changed color too. They gritted their teeth and stared at Tom, wishing they could bite Tom to death, drink his blood, eat his flesh, and gnaw his bones on the spot!

Including Owen. He was also angered by Tom and clenched his fists. The only thing left in his gaze at Tom was coldness, penetrating coldness.

Wes, who was trembling aside, was just one of the senior executives of Wind Pavilion. In front of the Howards, he could be described as inferior. Now, the overwhelming fury of the over 200 family members, and their powerful aura, were almost about to set off a tornado out of thin air on the spot. A strong sense of pressure that he had never experienced before made his mind go blank, made him shiver in the depth of his soul, and made him breathless!
