Chapter 128
Even Kaylie's expression was a little unnatural. She knew that Tom was married or that he was the
son-in-law of the Scotts. But now that she was Tom's plus one, others' flirty gaze made her feel
embarrassed.
So she let go of Tom's arm.
Tom saw her secret actions, but he did not blame her or get angry. It was normal for her to do that.
After all, Kaylie was unmarried and had a good upbringing in a rich family. It was reasonable that she
was shy.
Tom didn't expect that they would see Charles when they came to a random place to buy cars. But
since he had met him, Tom didn't flinch. He smiled and said, "Charles, didn't you run a company and
you claim it earns millions a year? Why are you here selling cars?"
This was Charles's soft spot, and he went grim immediately. He gritted his teeth and wanted to scold
him, but when he saw Tom's half-smile and posture showing he was ready to hit him at any time, he
was frightened again and snorted heavily, "It's none of your business! But you..."
Tom interrupted him and said jokingly, "So your company went bankrupt. Could it be that after that
night, you started to have bad luck?"
Charles's face turned livid. Tom looked so mean! He was so angry that his face was distorted. "Bullshit!
Who said my company went bankrupt? I just came here to experience a different kind of life!"
He was obviously flustered and began to talk incoherently. What he said was illogical. Anyone
reasonable could tell that Tom was right. Charles was really down and out. He was no longer a boss,
but a car seller.
Selling cars was not shameful. After all, this was just a job, but it was too shameful for a materialist like
Charles. So he didn't say he used to run a company when he came here to work as the sales manager.
At this moment, those salespeople were looking at him gloatingly, which made him extremely
uncomfortable! Clenching his fists, he wanted to punch Tom in the face, but he didn't dare. Once he did
it first, Tom's beating him back was self-defense.
Fortunately, he had experienced much, and he was tougher in mind than ordinary people. He took a
deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said with a cold smile, "But I am better than you, a good-for-
nothing! Tom, you are so shameless. You depend on Phoebe for food and everything. You dare to pick
up girls with Phoebe's money? And you dare to buy this woman a car worth 800,000 dollars? What a
big disgrace you are!"
It had to be said that his words were very vicious. Immediately, everyone around him began to point at
Tom, their words full of contempt and condemnation.
"I really can't see. This Tom looks like a real man, but he's so shameless. How dare he take his wife's
money to have a mistress?"
"That's right. He is such a brute under a human mask..."
"I remember. This Tom is the son-in-law of the Scotts. He was very famous in our H City several years
ago!" A voice broke out in the crowd and immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Yes! Right! I remember it, too. The Scotts does have a son-in-law who stays at home all day. He
doesn't want to find a job, so he stays at home to do housework. I heard that he washes underwear for
his mother-in-law. Hahaha..."
"Damn, really? It's too exciting. Is this real? Such a useless man in modern society? This blows my
mind!"
"Tom's wife is very beautiful. Her name is Phoebe, and she's one of the three beauties in H City!"
"This Tom is so shameless..."
For a moment, many people around them began to discuss heatedly, condemning and disdaining Tom.
Tom felt quite helpless. He felt he was attracting more unnecessary attention no matter where he went.
He could do nothing about it. Almost everyone in the H City knew he was the son-in-law of the Scotts.
He had also been on the H City Daily, so many people heard about his name even if they didn't know
what he looked like.
Kaylie listened to the discussions around her, and her face kept changing. There were some changes
in her eyes when she looked at Tom.
"What? You think I'm such a person?" Tom asked Kaylie with a smile.
"No, no..." Kaylie shook her head hurriedly, but she did not dare to look Tom in the eye and lowered her
head.
Tom smiled calmly. He didn't take it seriously. He just felt that gossip was a fearful thing.
Hearing people around him criticizing Tom, Charles smiled so happily. More than half of his grudges
these years disappeared at this moment!
"Tom, I really feel bad for Phoebe. I am wondering what will happen to you if I tell Phoebe about this."
Charles said jokingly.
As he spoke, he took out his phone and pretended to call Phoebe. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing this, Kaylie was even more embarrassed. She was a shy person and had never encountered
such a thing.
Tom smiled and said, "Charles, look at you. You look like a smug clown. In the past, Phoebe had a high
opinion of you. I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded. Just because you are living a bad life, when
you see others' life is better than you, you feel uncomfortable. You choose to bite people like crazy
dogs."
Charles's face suddenly changed and he became even angrier. Tom's words hit him hard, causing him
to become pissed all of a sudden. "Okay, you don't want to accept the truth, do you? I'll call your wife
now and see how you will pay for what you did today!"
Tom frowned slightly. He was not guilty, but felt that it was not a good time to disturb Phoebe for this
kind of thing. Phoebe was still angry with him. He then said, "All right, Charles, stop it. You just have a
grudge against me for teaching you a lesson last time. I apologize to you, OK? Don't tell Phoebe. She's
in a bad mood now."
When Charles heard that, he thought Tom was being guilty. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. "Now you
are afraid? Hahaha... But it's too late! You just wait to be scolded by Phoebe. As a son-in-law, you don't
know what you shouldn't do. How dare you take your wife's money and mess around with other
women? I'll see how you die this time!"
After that, he dialed Phoebe's number. He also deliberately turned on the speaker so that everyone
could hear the conversation.
