Chapter 13
Samuel was Tom's uncle and the head of the Howard Family.
The decision to expel Tom from the Howard Family four years ago was made by Samuel. Tom would never forget that that night, Samuel looked at him in a more despicable way than the way Samuel looked at a dog!
Now, four years had passed and god had eyes. Grandpa had regained the consciousness before he died. And grandpa got the injustice Li Tom suffered undone and gave Tom the inheritance. It gave Tom a chance to retaliate against the Howard Family!
Tom didn't want to do this at first, but what happened today stimulated him too much. Phoebe's misunderstanding of him had reached a critical level. In particular, Brian took advantage of the situation. Tom was worried that Phoebe would be deceived by Brian if he allowed it to continue. This was an unacceptable thing for him.
The Howard Family was still the most powerful Family in H City. When Samuel came out personally and gave Richard the gift on his 70th birthday, all misunderstandings would disappear, and Brian, the villain, would be revealed.
Besides, it could disgust Samuel and this could kill two birds with one stone.
After Tom left, Dylan did not dare to delay and reported to the Howard Family immediately.
The Howard Family.
Many people were furious when they heard the news.
Samuel, the head of the Howard Family, was going to personally give gifts to a small person like Richard. This was an insult to Samuel and the Howard Family!
"Tom, this bastard, goes too far. He does whatever he wants just because he inherits the inheritance! Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and justice are under his feet!"
"The head of the Family is at least his uncle. He is a bastard as he humiliates his elders like this!" "It's all father's faults that he gave the inheritance to this little beast before he died. It's more than 50 billion dollars! Howard Family's total assets add up to about 80 billion dollars. Father directly gave 70 % of the family's assets to this little beast. If he hadn't done this, could this bastard be so arrogant?”
"I told you that he should have been beaten to death four years ago!"
"Well. It's of no use saying anything now. Tom took more than 50 billion, and he's the boss. Instead, the Howard Family suddenly lost 70 % of its assets, and the capital chain broke. If we let this continue, the Howard Family would be destroyed.”
Many people of the Howard Family also began to remain silent when they heard this.
There was no way. More than 50 billion dollars was withdrawn at once. This hurt the Howard Family too deep. If Tom didn't return the money, the Howard Family would be seriously hurt and even go bankrupt!
So no matter how much they hated Tom, they had to endure it.
At this moment, the superior Samuel said, "Tell Dylan that in two days, on Richard's seventieth birthday, I will personally be there and give a gift!"
"The meeting is over!”
Samuel said this and left the conference room.
When Tom returned home, he found that the door was locked. Phoebe and the others hadn't come back yet. He didn't have the key, so he had to wait outside.
After waiting for more than an hour, the family members of Phoebe came back. When they saw Tom squatting at the door, their eyes flashed with disgust.
Without comparison, there would be no harm. After contacting Brian, the more they looked at Tom, the more unpleasant they became. They thought that Tom had nothing that could be compared to Brian. They really didn't know why Tom kept living in this world!
Phoebe was different from them. When she saw Tom's pitiful look, her eyes showed some intolerance. Her cold mood softened a little.
No matter how useless Tom was, he was her husband who took care of her for four years.
"You've been waiting here for a long time?" Phoebe asked.
Tom felt flattered by the concern in Phoebe's tone and he shook his head hurriedly, "It's only more than an hour. Not long."
"Next time when you don't have the key, you can call me. You don't have to wait that long.” Phoebe said.
"I was afraid of disturbing you.” Tom scratched his head and whispered.
Elizabeth was impatient. She pushed Tom away and scolded him for blocking the way. She opened the door and slammed the door hard on purpose. She knocked Tom aside and scolded him proudly by saying that he deserved it when she saw how painful Tom was.
When Phoebe saw this, her lips moved. She wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. Tom's character was too weak. No matter how much her family members bullied him, he looked like a loser. She suspected that Tom really had no dignity.
Logan was beaten up badly today, so he stayed in the hospital.
Tom washed the clothes of his family members with his hands and did the cleaning before he went into the room to take a bath. He happened to meet Phoebe, who just came out of the bathroom. He saw Phoebe wrapped in a towel and her skin was exposed. This made Tom have a wave of thoughts. "Who told you to come in without knocking? Get out!" When Phoebe saw Tom come in and found that his eyes were on her, she couldn't help but feel flustered and quickly turned around.
She had been married to Tom for four years, but she had never had sex with him. He hadn't even touched her body and they were like strangers.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Tom apologized and ran out of the room.
His heart beat uncontrollably!
His mind was filled with Phoebe's snow-white skin, which could not be forgotten.
Phoebe had always been conservative in front of him. It was the first time he saw Phoebe wrapped in a towel. Her figure was really great. After nearly half an hour, Phoebe came out of the room, put on her clothes, wrapped her body tightly, and glared at Tom fiercely!
"The next time you don't knock on the door, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Phoebe said fiercely.
Tom nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Tom didn't sleep well that night, and Phoebe was in his mind.
In the past, even if he had gotten the marriage certificate with Phoebe, he did not dare to have too much fantasy about her. But now he was different. After getting his grandfather's inheritance, he had become a different man. He could give Phoebe happiness, and he could also be a real husband of Phoebe!
The thought of that scene made it hard for him to fall asleep.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Today was Phoebe's grandfather, Richard's seventieth birthday. Tom got up early in the morning. He was looking forward to everyone's reaction tonight. It must be wonderful.
Contrary to his excitement, Phoebe was unhappy because she was going to sacrifice for her Family after today.
She should have gone to accompany Mr. Cook yesterday, but he had gone abroad. When he came back tomorrow, it would be her doomsday.
Seeing that Tom was still so happy, she kicked Tom hard in anger. "Laugh, you're still in the mood to laugh! Tom, you're really not a thing! Tonight's grandpa’s 70th birthday, you don't have to come, so you won't embarrass me again!"
No way. He had been looking forward to tonight's show for the past two days.
He hurriedly said, "Phoebe, don't worry. I won't embarrass you tonight! Besides, I won't embarrass you and I'll make you feel proud!”
Phoebe smiled and laughed in anger. "Really? You will make me feel proud one day? How can you make me feel proud?"
Tom said mysteriously, "It's a secret. I can't say it now. Anyway, just wait and see. I'll definitely make you feel proud tonight.”
"It's still a secret. It sounds like it's true!" Phoebe's eyes turned cold. "Tom, do you know what I hate about you the most? I hate your arrogant appearance the most!"
Tom was not angry. It was rare for him to stand up straight in front of Phoebe. He said with a clear look, "Phoebe, I know you don't believe me and have a deep misunderstanding about me. But I will prove it to you."
Phoebe looked at him with even colder and disgusted eyes. "Okay, I'll wait!"
Then, she thought of something and sneered, "Since you're so confident, let's make a bet. If you really make me feel proud tonight, I'll unconditionally agree to a request from you. If you lose, sign the divorce agreement immediately and don't show up in front of me again!"
"Phoebe, you don't want to see me so much?"
Phoebe avoided his gaze. "Tell me if you dare to bet!"
"Okay, I'll bet!" Tom was more serious than ever. "If I win, I'll ask you to be my wife, a real wife!” Phoebe blushed. She naturally knew what Tom meant. She cursed in her heart by saying that he was a lovelace and she spat out a word, "Okay!"
