His appearance silenced everyone in the conference room.
No one expected Tom to appear at this time.
Including Phoebe, she was stunned and looked at Tom in shock.
"No need to find me. I'm right here." Tom came in and said in a deep voice. He glanced around and saw the standing positions in the conference room, and he could guess what had happened just now. When he saw the palm print on Phoebe's face, he became even angrier. "Who slapped Phoebe? Stand out!"
Tom rarely lost his temper in front of relatives in the Scotts. He had always been gentle, which revealed his forbearance and courtesy. But now, when he saw the fingerprints and panic on Phoebe's face, he knew that she had been bullied. How could he still calm down?
Ever since his grandfather passed away, he had no relations left in this world. He married into the Scotts and led a poor and cautious life. But in his heart, he gradually felt a sense of belonging. Although Phoebe was usually mean to him, he could feel that she still had feelings for him. It could be said that Phoebe was the only relative he had and the only person he wanted to protect in this world!
He was furious to see that Phoebe was bullied.
His anger brought a different feeling to many of the Scotts members in the conference room. They were all nervous and panicked in an instant. The dominating air Tom showed made him a big shot!
Was this still the useless son-in-law they knew?
However, Tom's aura did not last long. He quickly walked to Phoebe and asked with concern, "Phoebe, are you okay? I'm sorry I'm late."
Phoebe was in a daze. Zack and the others felt how aggressive Tom was, and so was she. She could barely recognize Tom.
"Why are you here?" When Phoebe came back to her senses, she saw Tom's worried and caring look. His dominating air and aggressiveness were gone. She shook her head and laughed at herself for hallucinating. Tom was just an ordinary person from the countryside. How could he become a big shot?
Not to mention, she saw a trace of chairman ZQ in Tom just now!
It must be that she was too nervous and tense, emotionally unstable, and too eager for being rescued by the chairman of ZQ, which led to hallucinations!
Yes, it must be like this.
Tom didn't know what Phoebe was thinking. He said gently, "Of course I need to be here, or else you'll be bullied by them."
Phoebe's lips moved, and just as she was about to speak, someone scolded, "Tom! How dare you! How dare you barge into the board of directors? Who do you think you are?"
It was Zack who stood up and spoke. He was so angry that he was frightened by the loser Tom. It was a disgrace to him!
Not only him, but everyone else also felt the same way. They all became angry with shame and thought that they were too embarrassed to be scared by Tom, and all of a sudden, they all pointed their fingers at Tom.
"Zack is right. Tom, what are you? You're just a useless son-in-law and a dog of our family. Who gave you the guts to break into the board of directors? I know. Phoebe must have ordered you here, right? Well, Phoebe, I knew you were a traitor. I didn't expect you to be so out of line! You don't care about our company at all!"
"You are outrageous!"
"I think this kind of bastards should be expelled from our family!"
They called out in all directions, and they defamed Phoebe and Tom indiscriminately.
