The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 20

"Last month when I went back to my hometown to pay homage to my ancestors, I went down the

mountain to buy water for everyone. Later, I happened to meet Samuel who had heatstroke. I was

lucky to save him back, and he was very grateful to me and said he owed me a favor. Since today is

grandfather's birthday, I called him over to the Scott Family to add some glory for us. Who knows you...

"Tom stopped without finishing the sentence. The meaning of the expression was self-evident.

He clearly saw that all the people in Scott Family were embarrassed.

"Smack!"

A loud slap sound reached to all people's ears. Zack slapped himself hard and scolded, "Damn it! If I

had known that, I would have been the one to buy water that day, and the person who saved Samuel

should have been me as well!"

The others also showed a look of remorse. Last month, when they went back to their hometown to pay

respect to their ancestors, they had run out of water. No one of them was willing to go buy water, so

they asked Tom to do it. However, they never thought that Tom would have a lucky break! If they had

known that they would bump into Samuel if they went to buy water personally, they would not have

missed this opportunity to have a meteoric rise!

Tom was very happy to see how regretful they were. In the past few years, he had been discriminated

against and bullied in the Scott Family. Last month, when he returned to his hometown to worship his

ancestors, everyone left him to do the dirty work alone. Now it seemed like that they were really

regretful.

Elizabeth changed her bad attitude towards Tom and said obsequiously, "Tom, since Samuel owes you

a favor, he won't refuse your request, will he? Could you call Samuel one day and ask him to introduce

a girl from the Howard Family to Logan? Your brother should consider getting married."

James also said, "Yes, as his brother-in-law, you should consider more for him. Your brother always

respects you a lot."

When Tom heard this, he was unhappy. "When did Logan respect me?" He thought.

"Hey, Logan is still young. He is in college now, so he doesn't need Tom to introduce girls for him!" One

of the elders of the Scott Family gave James and Elizabeth a bad look, then smilingly said to Tom,

"Tom, in fact, I always regard you as a promising man. I often told your parents-in-law that you are an

excellent man who will definitely have a bright future, but your parents-in-law still do not believe me. As

expected, it turned out that a piece of gold would shine when it's exposed to the light! Samuel is the

richest person in our H City, and it's difficult for many people to just see him; however, you can let him

personally come here with a phone call, and he also brings so many gifts over. Tom, you really win

honor for our Scott Family!"

This elder named Victor was Zack's father and Phoebe's uncle. His flattery words were pleasing to

ears. People who didn't know him well would think he really liked Tom.

Then he changed the topic immediately and his smile became even bigger. "Tom, our company is in

trouble now. Could you show our plight to the Patriarch of the Howard Family and let him take care of

our Scott Family's business in the future? We will all appreciate your contributions!"

Tom sneered. In the past, Victor had humiliated him a lot. He called Tom "country bumpkin" and

disdained him from the bottom of his heart. Now that Victor saw that he had a relationship with Samuel,

he changed to flatter him. Tom looked down on this kind of person from the bottom of his heart.

The others did not want to fall behind and they all surrounded Tom to say what they wanted and hoped

that Tom could satisfy them.

Looking at their greedy faces, Tom felt a wave of nausea.

He said awkwardly, "I can't meet all your needs."

"What? Tom, what do you mean?"

"What?! We indeed took a bad attitude towards you just now, but you shouldn't be that stingy. We are

your elders at least."

"You saved Samuel's life and he owes you a great favor, so it would be easy for you to satisfy our

requests. As our son-in-law in the Scott Family, you won't even help us with this little favor?"

They all began to blame Tom.

Tom sneered in his heart and continued to pretend to be embarrassed, "Elders, it's not that I don't want

to help you, but that I can't help you. I saved Samuel. He owes me a good favor, but this favor has

been paid off."

Hearing this, they were all stunned.

Tom went on to say, "Alas. I invited Samuel to come over to celebrate the birthday of grandpa and he

didn't regard this as repaying me. But you guys drove me away just now, so Samuel became angry. He

once said he would destroy the Scott Family. Just now I called to calm him down, but the favor was

paid off. He is the head of the Howard Family and of mighty power. Thus, he wouldn't come and leave

at my will!"

Their expressions were stiff and they felt as if they had eaten shit. If they had known this result, they NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

wouldn't have driven Tom out at all.

Zack thought of something and hurriedly asked, "We don't want Samuel to pay off the favor, but could

he give back the birthday gifts for grandpa? Since he gave them to grandpa, they would be the

properties of our Scott Family!"

The others also came to their senses. Yes, Samuel sent two century-old ginsengs, Song Dynasty Blue

and White Porcelain, an expensive calligraphy collection, and most importantly, ten million dollars in

cash! This would be worth twenty or thirty million!

"Did they take back all the birthday gifts?" Tom asked curiously.

"Yes, yes. They're all taken back. It's worth twenty or thirty million dollars. Tom, make a phone call

quickly and ask Samuel to send the birthday gifts over. How can he take back the gifts?" Victor said

unhappily. His words were echoed by others. Now the Scott Family was very poor. Not to mention

twenty or thirty million dollars, two or three million dollars would be a large sum.

However, Tom sighed and said, "Elders, how can you let Samuel take back the birthday gifts so easily?

Do you think these gone things could come back? Anyway, I have nothing to do with Samuel now. He

was impatient with me on the phone just now. I can't get back the birthday gifts."

"No way..."

"Oh my god, what have we done!"

"Twenty or thirty million dollars just disappeared..."

Many of the Scott Family members complained regretfully as if they had lost their parents.

Richard's face turned red, and he finally couldn't hold back and slapped several Scott Family members

and said, "It's all your fault! You brats! You embarrassed Tom and even drove him out, then offended

Samuel! Originally, the Scott Family could cling to the Howard Family to gain great benefits, but now

we have nothing. Even my birthday gift was lost, you bastards! I'll kill you, I'll kill you all!"

Richard was gutted. He hit Zack and the others in the face like a madman. It was really a great scene.

Knowing that Samuel would never talk to Tom again, they thought Tom was useless, so the Scott

Family resumed their bad attitude towards him, and even began to complain that Tom did not tell them

about knowing Samuel in advance, wasting a chance to make a fortune!

On the way home, his mother-in-law, Elizabeth kept nagging, getting angrier and angrier, and she

poked Tom's forehead a few times.

Until Phoebe couldn't stand it any longer, she glared at Elizabeth and scolded, "Mom! Can you stop?

From the beginning to the end, Tom didn't do anything wrong! If Tom hadn't called Samuel to plead him,

our Scott Family would have been destroyed."

"Hey! Phoebe, who are you supporting? I'm your mother, and you're still contradicting me?" Elizabeth

scolded with her crossed arms, "Besides, did I say anything wrong? If he had said earlier that he had

saved Samuel's life, would this happen today? He does not care about this family at all! What's more,

when you have to sleep with Mr. Cook for us to borrow 20 million dollars from him to turnover, Tom was

apathetic. If he has some conscience and was a real man, he shouldn't be like this! Twenty million

dollars for Samuel is just pocket money, isn't it?!"

Hearing this, Phoebe was also frustrated.
