Even Kaylie's expression was a little unnatural. She knew that Tom was married or that he was the son-in-law of the Scotts. But now that she was Tom's plus one, others' flirty gaze made her feel embarrassed.
So she let go of Tom's arm.
Tom saw her secret actions, but he did not blame her or get angry. It was normal for her to do that. After all, Kaylie was unmarried and had a good upbringing in a rich family. It was reasonable that she was shy.
Tom didn't expect that they would see Charles when they came to a random place to buy cars. But since he had met him, Tom didn't flinch. He smiled and said, "Charles, didn't you run a company and you claim it earns millions a year? Why are you here selling cars?"
This was Charles's soft spot, and he went grim immediately. He gritted his teeth and wanted to scold him, but when he saw Tom's half-smile and posture showing he was ready to hit him at any time, he was frightened again and snorted heavily, "It's none of your business! But you..."
Tom interrupted him and said jokingly, "So your company went bankrupt. Could it be that after that night, you started to have bad luck?"
Charles's face turned livid. Tom looked so mean! He was so angry that his face was distorted. "Bullshit! Who said my company went bankrupt? I just came here to experience a different kind of life!"
He was obviously flustered and began to talk incoherently. What he said was illogical. Anyone reasonable could tell that Tom was right. Charles was really down and out. He was no longer a boss, but a car seller.
Selling cars was not shameful. After all, this was just a job, but it was too shameful for a materialist like Charles. So he didn't say he used to run a company when he came here to work as the sales manager.
At this moment, those salespeople were looking at him gloatingly, which made him extremely uncomfortable! Clenching his fists, he wanted to punch Tom in the face, but he didn't dare. Once he did it first, Tom's beating him back was self-defense.
Fortunately, he had experienced much, and he was tougher in mind than ordinary people. He took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said with a cold smile, "But I am better than you, a good-for-nothing! Tom, you are so shameless. You depend on Phoebe for food and everything. You dare to pick up girls with Phoebe's money? And you dare to buy this woman a car worth 800,000 dollars? What a big disgrace you are!"
It had to be said that his words were very vicious. Immediately, everyone around him began to point at Tom, their words full of contempt and condemnation.
"I really can't see. This Tom looks like a real man, but he's so shameless. How dare he take his wife's money to have a mistress?"
"That's right. He is such a brute under a human mask..."
"I remember. This Tom is the son-in-law of the Scotts. He was very famous in our H City several years ago!" A voice broke out in the crowd and immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Yes! Right! I remember it, too. The Scotts does have a son-in-law who stays at home all day. He doesn't want to find a job, so he stays at home to do housework. I heard that he washes underwear for his mother-in-law. Hahaha..."
"Damn, really? It's too exciting. Is this real? Such a useless man in modern society? This blows my mind!"
