"Tom! What are you doing?"
"Get out of here. There's no place for you to talk here!"
Richard and Victor cursed hurriedly.
Phoebe stomped her feet and hated Tom to the largest extent. Tom was really too self-righteous. This
man was a famous big shot in H City. How could a son-in-law of no use like Tom talk to him? Wasn't
Tom looking for death?
She was worried about Tom, but she didn't dare to go up and pull Tom back. She was so anxious.
She knew that Tom went out because of her, but this kind of behavior was too stupid and Tom got
himself involved in!
Seeing that people from the Scott Family knew Tom and they even shouted at Tom, Malcolm was
shocked and a little confused. Wasn't this man the chairman of ZQ? How could he be involved with the
Scott Family? And judging from the situation, Tom was still that son-in-law of the Scott Family?
Damn, this information was too subversive!
"Tom, do you wanna die? How dare you talk to Malcolm like this? Kneel down and apologize to
Malcolm!" Richard glared and scolded, afraid of being implicated by Tom. He immediately said to
Malcolm, "Malcolm, calm down! He is my son-in-law. His brain is not normal. You must forgive him."
Malcolm stared at Richard with a sullen face and said coldly, "Mr. Scott, how dare you!"
As he finished speaking, Malcolm slapped Richard on the face and Ricard fell to the ground with a
scream.
Then, Malcolm made a move that shocked everyone. Malcolm ran to Tom with a nervous and humble
face, bowed deeply, and respectfully shouted, "Mr. Howard!"
Tom nodded faintly, looking calm.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Everyone thought it was unbelievable as if they saw a
ghost.
Including Phoebe, she was also stunned and completely dumbfounded.
Was she right? The majestic and ruthless Malcolm was so respectful to Tom and Malcolm called Tom
Mr. Howard?
This... This world was too crazy!
Tom gave Malcolm a look of appreciation and was very satisfied with his performance. Malcolm was
very sensible. Instead of calling him chairman, he called him Mr. Howard. Otherwise, he might be
discovered by Phoebe.
"Mr. Howard, I didn't know you were here, let alone I knew that Zack was your relative. I'm sorry..."
Malcolm nodded and bowed to Tom and was afraid of Tom. Everyone seemed to think that this scene
was so subversive and shocking.
They didn't understand. Wasn't Tom a useless man? Why was Malcolm so afraid of Tom? Did Tom
have something on Malcolm?
Tom smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. I don't know Zack very well. You can do whatever you want."
Malcolm heaved a sigh of relief and stood up straight, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on
ceremony. Zack owes me money. He doesn't pay back and I can't spare him. Mr. Howard, I'll leave if
there's nothing else. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Well, go ahead." Tom nodded and said casually.
At this moment, everyone came back to their senses. Victor saw hope. He gritted his teeth and smiled
obsequiously. He quickly ran to Tom. "Tom, so you know Malcolm. You are amazing. You are amazing!"
Victor gave Tom a thumbs-up, bent down, and put down his posture. He was extremely humble and
flattered Tom several times.
Tom's face was not smiling. How could he not know what Victor was up to? "I don't deserve it. I'm just a
useless husband. I don't even have the right to speak here. How can I be awesome?"
Victor's face stiffened, and he immediately began to flatter again. "We were all joking just now. Can you
be serious with your uncle?"
Tom chuckled and didn't say anything. Then he turned around and walked towards Phoebe.
"Hey, Tom, wait a minute!" Victor quickly grabbed Tom. "Tom, it was uncle's fault just now. A great man
rarely stoops to pettiness or harbors grievance for past wrongs. Can you forgive uncle this time?"
Tom smiled and said, "Uncle is joking. You are an elder. How can I forgive you? I don't dare to be angry
with you."
Victor saw that Tom was so stubborn and he gritted his teeth and slapped himself twice in a row. He
used a lot of force and puffed up his face. He pleaded, "Tom, uncle is wrong. I'm really wrong. I won't
laugh at you anymore. Can you tell Malcolm to let Zack go?"
Malcolm, who was walking ahead, slowed down. Many of the Scott Family caught this and understood
that as long as Tom said a word, Malcolm would let Zack go.
Although they didn't understand why a boss like Malcolm was so afraid of Tom, it didn't matter. The fact
that everyone saw in front of them was that now, only Tom could save Zack.
"No." Tom refused cleanly. Victor immediately felt hopeless. Malcolm also continued to walk forward.
Tom immediately added, "But I listen to my wife. If she nods, I can talk to Malcolm."
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Phoebe.
Victor immediately ran to Phoebe and begged, "Phoebe, tell Tom to save Zack. No matter what, Zack is
also your cousin. Can you really watch him die with your own eyes?"
Phoebe was silent.
The other Scott Family members also came over and began to plead.
"So you remember that I am also a member of the Scott Family now? Why didn't you think that I was
the member of the Scott Family when you scolded me just now?" Phoebe sneered disdainfully. Her
mood was very uneasy.
Phoebe was not a heartless person. On the contrary, she was very kind and had strong family values.
But these days, the performance of the Scott Family made her too disappointed and disgusted!
Now that she saw that when the members of the Scott Family needed her and looked pitiful, she felt
extremely relieved.
"Dad, come and talk to Phoebe. Can you really watch Zack die with your own eyes?" Victor shouted to
Richard hurriedly.
Richard had just been slapped, and now he looked very embarrassed. He was a proud man, but
Malcolm's slap just now completely wiped out his pride.
He walked up to Phoebe and put down his attitude. "Phoebe, it's grandpa's fault for depriving you of
your shares and kicking you out of the board of directors. Grandpa apologized to you. Please be
generous. Please."
The others also came over to please Phoebe, especially those of the same generation. They called This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Phoebe sister very affectionately.
Phoebe had never been treated like this in the Scott Family. Now she only felt extremely happy. She
had never felt so proud and elated before, and the resentment in her heart had disappeared a lot.
She looked at Tom, her eyes much softer. Even if she looked down on Tom in the past, she was moved
now.
Tom smiled heartily when he saw her eyes.
Phoebe walked over and said to Tom, "Then let Zack go once."
"Okay."
Tom smiled and nodded, then went over to Malcolm and said, "Do me a favor this time. Spare Zack's
life. Don't count the interest on the money he owes you."
There was no reason for Malcolm not to agree, so he quickly agreed.
Ten minutes later, Tom came back, and everyone looked at him with different thoughts in their eyes.
Tom was in the limelight tonight.
On the way home, Phoebe whispered to Tom, "Thank you for what you did for me tonight."
Tom was stunned and then smiled gently. "Silly girl. I said I wanted to protect you."
Phoebe's eyes flashed with complexity. She paused and said to Tom, "Don't sleep on the sofa tonight.
Come in and sleep."
Hearing this, Tom's heart beat faster in an instant!
