The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 169

At that moment, he gave Malcolm a look. Malcolm was a smart man. Of course, he would understand. He immediately walked out from behind Tom and went to the young man. His face was cold and his eyes were full of unkindness.

Although Malcolm was getting on in years, he was at least a self-made man. A man who had fought his way in the street to success would naturally look tough and could certainly frighten some rich young man.

The young man next to Rory was glared at by Malcolm, and he immediately became timid. His face showed some timidity, and his eyes drifted. He said harshly, "Malcolm, what do you want?"

Rory also stared at Malcolm with a sullen face. He knew that Malcolm knew Tom, but he couldn't figure out why someone like Malcolm wanted to make friends with Tom. This was unusual. Could Tom be Malcolm's illegitimate child or some relative?

Malcolm suddenly grinned at the young man, but it was by no means a smile. Instead, there was coldness and playfulness in it.

The young man's scalp went numb reflexively and he realized something was wrong. He was about to speak, but the next moment, Malcolm's palm hit his face with great force. With a loud slap, half of his face swelled up, and he spun around and fell heavily to the ground.

Malcolm's action startled everyone present. They didn't expect Malcolm to act so domineeringly! Not to mention that this young man came from a rich family, and his father was also an important figure in the upper class. Malcolm had undoubtedly offended him in the worst way! Moreover, it was at the engagement banquet of the Knight and Gablehauser families. Didn't Malcolm offend them by doing so?

Besides, this young man didn't offend Malcolm at all. Why would Malcolm do that?

Only Rory and his group knew the real story: Malcolm was lecturing him for Tom!

For a moment, their focus was on Tom, especially Rory's. His pupils shrank and his eyes flashed with intense fear and confusion!

But soon, he smiled again and figured it out. So what if Malcolm defended Tom? He paid for Mr. Potter to come. When Mr. Potter was here, who could save Tom? Malcolm? Nonsense, Malcolm was just a small character in front of Mr. Potter!

The more he understood this, the more relaxed he felt and even wanted to laugh. The more complacent and arrogant Tom was now, the harder he fell in a moment, and the happier Rory would be!

"Tom, so that's why you have been so arrogant. It turns out that you have fawned on Malcolm." Rory smiled strangely and gave Tom a thumbs-up.

How could Tom not know what Rory was thinking? So he just ignored him. "Now that you know, why don't you get out of here?"

Rory was once again provoked by Tom's arrogance, and the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch. He was a extremely proud person. Tom taught him a lesson in front of so many people, which made him lose face. He was really angry. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he held back. He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold. "Tom, do you really think you can do what you want after fawning on Malcolm? Hmph!"

A touch talk had been made and then he stared at Malcolm and said in a threatening tone, "Malcolm, I really don't know what you like about Tom and why you defend him like this. However, some people can not be saved. If you exceed your limit, you will be implicated to death!"

When Malcolm heard Rory's threat, his heart beat faster for a second. But immediately, he smiled disdainfully and said after Tom, "Get lost."

This time, Rory felt more embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and glared at Tom and Malcolm fiercely. "Okay, you want me to leave, I'll go. However, we'll see!"

After saying this, he left in a huff. It was just that it could be easily seen that he left in shame and embarrassment.

At this moment, a lot of people around them looked at Tom with surprise and shock in their eyes. They asked each other about Tom, and why Malcolm was so determined to protect him and did not hesitate to offend Rory?

As for why, only Malcolm himself knew. To say the least, the identity of him being the president of the ZQ Inc was good enough.

But he was also a little curious. Since that Rory was just a conceit rich bastard who continued causing trouble from time to time. How could he have a grudge with Tom? Didn't he know that Tom was the chairman of ZQ Inc?
