"One person is missing? I don't find." Brian said.
Dylan frowned even more. "Are you sure?"
They came for Tom. If Tom weren't here, why did they come here in the first place?
Samuel also stood there with no expression on his face, which made many people of the Scott Family feel a little scared. At this time, Brian found something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked Richard, "Grandpa, who didn't come for your 70th birthday tonight?"
Richard looked around and found that all members of the Scott Family were there. This was his 70th birthday, and he should the main character. Why were those people caring about someone of the Howard Family?
Confused, Richard shook his head and said, "Everybody's here."
Everyone was here?
Dylan and Samuel saw each other meaningfully. Could it be that Tom was testing them and watching them in the dark?
That was highly possible..
Soon, they had an idea and decided to play along.
"Hahaha, no, I was just curious." Dylan said while laughing.
Then they all sat down and began to drink with Richard and the others.
Samuel was a big boss. Although he smiled amiably, Richard still felt a lot of pressure. There was a huge gap in their status, so there was almost no common topic between them. After chatting for a while, they didn't know what to talk about, and things got awkward between them.
Zack had always wanted and gone all out to have connections with the Howard Family. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Just now, Mr. Howard said that one person is not here. I suddenly remembered that we did drive a person away just now. This person is the son-in-law of the Scott Family. He is trash. Hahaha..."
"Yes!" When Brian heard this, his eyes lit up as if he finally got something to brag about. "I forgot all about it. This trash doesn't have any ability, but he likes to brag. We just exposed him and you didn't see how embarrassed he was. He nearly cried in the end. Hahaha, that was a good show. Unfortunately, you didn't come then. Otherwise, you would have seen that trash in a mess when we drove him out. Hahaha."
The others also laughed and began to make remarks one by one as if it was something very interesting. They said how they had bullied Tom and mercilessly driven him out. They spoke with great interest, not noticing that the faces of Samuel and the others were getting gloomier.
"Is this useless son-in-law you're talking about called Tom?"
Samuel asked, almost trembling.
Brian was gloating. After a few drinks, he was so high that he thought he had reached the peak of his life. "Yes! Mr. Howard, you know him?"
Hearing that, Samuel closed his eyes and his heart was filled with anger!
This time, he was willing to give up his dignity and come over personally to celebrate Richard's birthday because he wanted to show Tom some respect... No, it was because he wanted to fawn on Tom!
But Tom was driven out of the Scott Family!
This was very similar to what had happened four years ago. Samuel didn't care about Tom, but he cared about himself!
After hearing those people mocking Tom, Samuel had already understood. It was obvious that in order to be found by the Howard Family in the past few years, Tom had married into the Scott Family. He had hidden his identity and ability and lived a miserable life. Now that Tom had received a large inheritance, he specially called them over to make a show, but this happened. This was exactly like what had happened four years ago. So dramatic. Tom must have hated the Howard Family now!
Thinking of the more serious consequences, Samuel trembled with anger.
Bang!
Samuel slammed on the table and made a loud noise, which shocked everyone mocking Tom happily, especially Brian, who was the closest to him. He even fell to the ground in fear.
All people in the Scott Family looked at Samuel in panic.
"Mr... Mr. Howard, what, what happened?" Richard asked in fear.
Samuel was furious but he laughed instead. He stared at Richard, and gritted his teeth. "Richard, do you know why I, the head of the Howard Family, came to your birthday banquet?"
