But he still answered honestly for a second time, "His name is Tom."
Mr. Potter placed the cigarette butt in a man's palm, then stood up and said, "Tom, Tom... The name sounds good."
Rory was speechless, thinking in his mind that he came here to seek revenge on Tom, and why did Mr. Potter even praise Tom's name?
Rory was not sure about Mr. Potter's personality and preferences. He always felt that Mr. Potter was dangerous and unpredictable.
Then he said to Jeremias, "Is the matrilocal son-in-law who hit you also called Tom?"
"That's right, that's right! That's right, Mr. Potter. His name is also Tom, very hateful..." Jeremias nodded quickly. He wanted to say more, but Wili glared at him. He remembered that Mr. Potter didn't like talkative people. He quickly swallowed it back and stopped.
Mr. Potter smiled meaningfully, "That's interesting. It's the same person. It seems that Tom has some learning."
Rory asked, "Mr. Potter, what about my thing..."
Mr. Potter nodded slightly, indicating that he had agreed.
Rory was overjoyed. Then he thought of something and said, "But Tom is protected by Malcolm..."
Wili, who was on the side, said in a low voice, "It is just Malcolm, who doesn't even deserve to carry Mr. Potter's shoes."
"Mr. Potter is mighty!" Rory shouted.
Mr. Potter waved and said, "I'm tired. You can leave after you pay the bill."
Rory wanted to continue chatting with Mr. Potter to deepen their friendship, but Mr. Potter had already ordered him to leave. So he had no choice but to give up, thinking that when the thing was done, he would make good friends with Mr. Potter at a proper time.
After they all left, Mr. Potter went back to his study and closed the door. He took out a file bag from the safe that seemed to have been sealed for a long time. He then took out a photo from the bag. It was a man with a bright smile. It was the very Tom!
To be exact, it was Tom a few years ago, who looked younger.
Mr. Potter gently stroked the photo, tears were filled in his eyes, and he was recalling something.
Kaylie had been very disturbed lately. She clearly didn't like Martin at all, but her father ignored her feelings and insisted on marrying her to Martin, which made her so angry!
She had protested many times, but her father still refused to talk to her and decided that Martin was her lover.
For this reason, she had not eaten for two days, which made her stomach sound.
She locked herself in her room and showed her attitude by refusing to eat.
Now she was especially eager to see her Mr. Right coming, just as the movie said, Mr. Right would be stepping on the colorful clouds and flying over, appearing in the limelight and winning her over!
She liked to read novels since she was a child, those novels about heroism. As such, she had always had the hope. Therefore, she liked to dress up as a man and yearned for a free and easy life of love and hatred. However, she was a female, and the restraints were too many to break free.
She hated arranged marriages and didn't like Martin at all. Unfortunately, she was born into a rich family and couldn't do anything about it.
Today, in a novel, she read the plot of the female protagonist escaping from marriage, then meeting her Mr. Right, and living a wonderful and extraordinary life. This immediately affected her.
She lifted the quilt and put on her men's clothes. When the bodyguards were not paying attention to her, she slipped out of her house
Because she left in such a hurry that she didn't even bring her cell phone with her. Coincidentally, she didn't like to bring cash. For a moment, she was penniless and didn't even have the money to take a taxi, so she had to walk on the road.
After walking for half an hour, she was very tired. She had not eaten much in the past two days and was not strong enough. Now that she had walked so far, she was even more tired.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. She came out in such a hurry that she didn't bring any money with her. In today's society, it was too difficult to live without money.
However, she immediately stopped and cheered herself up. No, she had only left home for half an hour. How could she give up? The protagonists in those novels were very determined. If she went back now in such a disgrace, she would be even more likely to be looked down upon by her father.
