They couldn't figure out how Tom knew Elliot, and Elliot called him Mr. Howard with such a respectful attitude.
They only realized that they had made a mistake. They were screwed. They had offended Tom.
Elliot realized that these people had offended the chairman completely!
For a moment, he also began to panic. This time, he was specifically instructed to come to the Scotts's SK Company. If he was late and did not complete the task assigned by the chairman, and was blamed by him, then he would be screwed!
The most hateful of all was the Scotts group, who had the audacity to offend the chairman.
"You guys offended Chairman... Mr. Howard?" Elliot's tone was cold and fierce, which froze the air around. "You guys have the guts to offend Mr. Howard? How dare you!"
Richard swallowed hard. He, who was completely flustered, said to Elliot hurriedly, "Mr. Cook, is there a misunderstanding between us? Mr. Howard is the son-in-law of us. He's ignorant, submissive, and incompetent. You must have mistaken him for someone else, right?"
"What?" When Elliot heard Richard's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. The chairman was the son-in-law of the Scotts? This was too shocking!
Even with Elliot's intelligence and experience, he was stunned for a moment and could not react at all.
"Yes, Tom is indeed our the Scotts's son-in-law. He's quite useless... Well, is there a misunderstanding?" Richard asked carefully.
Elliot, who came back to his senses, was also full of doubts, but he did not jump to a conclusion easily. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Take me to see Mr. Howard."
Now that things were completely out of Richard's control, he had no choice but to do what he was told. At this time, he could only pray in his heart that Mr. Howard was not Tom, but someone else. Otherwise, he would not dare to imagine the consequences.
...
On Tom's side, he and Phoebe were locked up in the conference room by the Scotts.
Phoebe, who was restless, walked around with worry all over her face, which made Tom dizzy. He held Phoebe's hand and said helplessly, "Phoebe, sit down. Don't turn around. I'm dizzy."
"How dare you say that! You've got in a huge trouble when you hit Zack and Wesley and the others. Hey, I told you not to send me to work and not to come to the company, but you didn't listen. Now, something really happened! Tom, you piss me off!" Phoebe said angrily and anxiously. Now she was in a daze and her mind was in turmoil.
After being held by Tom, she reflexively felt guilty. She hurriedly pushed Tom away and looked at the door of the conference room. Subconsciously, she thought that the chairman of ZQ had also come over, afraid that he would see her.
Tom said with a smile, "Phoebe, don't worry. Everything will be fine. I'll bet you that grandpa and the others will definitely apologize to us and beg us to forgive them. Do you believe me?"
Phoebe immediately cast an angry look at him, pinched Tom hard, and scolded, "Tom! I can't believe you are still joking! Why didn't I realize that there's something wrong with you? This joke of yours is not funny at all."
The Scotts, who were supervising them in the conference room, burst out laughing.
"Haha, it's hilarious. Tom is such a fool. He could still dream when death is at hand."
"That's right. He's crazy. He really think he's a big shot. He even fantasizes about grandpa apologizing to him. Why doesn't he go to heaven?"
"Poor Phoebe. She married such a lunatic. He's hysterical. What a pity"
They all gloated and mocked.
