Kaylie's face turned a little pale. She really hated Martin. Why was he so annoying? He was about to leave, and he still had to make things difficult for her.
Of course, she knew Tom's identity. He was the son-in-law of the Scotts. He was very' famous' in H City. If her family members knew about this, they would definitely go crazy. Her father would not spare her, so how could she not panic?
But now, under the circumstances, she clenched her teeth and could only pretend that she didn't care. "Psycho, what's there to be guilty about? Tom is my boyfriend. He didn't kill or set the fire. But it is you. Why don't you get out of here? You keep staying just to continue to lose face here?"
Kaylie's words made everyone in the Gablehausers look at her in an angrier and more hateful way.
Colton was not stupid. At this point, how could he not tell that his daughter was really feeling guilty? This further proved that Tom's identity was problematic.
At this moment, his feelings became more complicated. He felt anger, regret, panic, bitterness, and depression...
Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind. The more he knew, the more he shall try to not expose Tom's identity!
So he stood up and tried to mediate a dispute, "Haha, Martin, I know that I did you wrongly this time. I'm sorry. Uncle will introduce you to a suitable person later. Let's call it an end today and forget about it. We shall leave now."
As he spoke, he gave members of the Knights a look, asking them to leave together and not to continue to stay and lose face.
However, under the circumstances, how could Martin let them go now? He didn't even reveal Tom's identity!
"Haha, no need to hurry. Uncle, I've always admired you for fear that you would be deceived! This Tom. He's actually a famous person in our H City, and many people know him." Martin deliberately raised his voice and his voice was heard by everyone.
When Colton heard this, he felt even more bitter. At the same time, he understood that he could not run away today.
Because Martin was determined to take revenge. Even if he ran away now, when everyone knew about that, the Knights would still lose face.
It was better to stay and minimize the damage by responding quickly and effectively according to the current situation.
Now he was regretting holding the engagement party tonight more and more. If he had known, he would have postponed the date. It would not have been too late for him to make the decision after seeing Tom. Now, he had a wolf by the ears. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
He was praying now that Tom was not a criminal. Otherwise, his the Knights would really lose face!
"Haha, really?" Colton turned around and smiled at Martin again. Then, he said to Tom, "Young man, when did you know Kaylie? Why didn't you come to visit me first?"
He shot Tom a warning glance, hoping that Tom would be sensible. No matter what Martin said, he wished that Tom would not admit it. In this way, he could at least keep some reputation of the Knights !
How could Tom not know about this? He just smiled and said, "Uncle, I've known Kaylie for a while. I just happened to be busy in the company these days and didn't have time to visit you. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me."
"Running a company?" Colton felt better. Since Tom was running a company, it meant that Tom was a boss. No matter Tom could make money or not, his identity could at least earn some respect for the Knights . "I don't know what company you're running?"
As soon as Tom was about to speak, Martin burst out laughing and said, "Haha, Uncle, do you really believe in him? You're so easily fooled by him? He runs a bullshit company. For years, he couldn't even find a job. He has been living in the Scotts and doing nothing but housework. His reputation in H City is already bad. He is like a rat on the street. When he comes to your place, his identity changes and he becomes popular."
