The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 20

"Last month when I went back to my hometown to pay homage to my ancestors, I went down the mountain to buy water for everyone. Later, I happened to meet Samuel who had heatstroke. I was lucky to save him back, and he was very grateful to me and said he owed me a favor. Since today is grandfather's birthday, I called him over to the Scott Family to add some glory for us. Who knows you... "Tom stopped without finishing the sentence. The meaning of the expression was self-evident.

He clearly saw that all the people in Scott Family were embarrassed.

"Smack!"

A loud slap sound reached to all people's ears. Zack slapped himself hard and scolded, "Damn it! If I had known that, I would have been the one to buy water that day, and the person who saved Samuel should have been me as well!"

The others also showed a look of remorse. Last month, when they went back to their hometown to pay respect to their ancestors, they had run out of water. No one of them was willing to go buy water, so they asked Tom to do it. However, they never thought that Tom would have a lucky break! If they had known that they would bump into Samuel if they went to buy water personally, they would not have missed this opportunity to have a meteoric rise!

Tom was very happy to see how regretful they were. In the past few years, he had been discriminated against and bullied in the Scott Family. Last month, when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, everyone left him to do the dirty work alone. Now it seemed like that they were really regretful.

Elizabeth changed her bad attitude towards Tom and said obsequiously, "Tom, since Samuel owes you a favor, he won't refuse your request, will he? Could you call Samuel one day and ask him to introduce a girl from the Howard Family to Logan? Your brother should consider getting married."

James also said, "Yes, as his brother-in-law, you should consider more for him. Your brother always respects you a lot."

When Tom heard this, he was unhappy. "When did Logan respect me?" He thought.

"Hey, Logan is still young. He is in college now, so he doesn't need Tom to introduce girls for him!" One of the elders of the Scott Family gave James and Elizabeth a bad look, then smilingly said to Tom, "Tom, in fact, I always regard you as a promising man. I often told your parents-in-law that you are an excellent man who will definitely have a bright future, but your parents-in-law still do not believe me. As expected, it turned out that a piece of gold would shine when it's exposed to the light! Samuel is the richest person in our H City, and it's difficult for many people to just see him; however, you can let him personally come here with a phone call, and he also brings so many gifts over. Tom, you really win honor for our Scott Family!"

This elder named Victor was Zack's father and Phoebe's uncle. His flattery words were pleasing to ears. People who didn't know him well would think he really liked Tom.

Then he changed the topic immediately and his smile became even bigger. "Tom, our company is in trouble now. Could you show our plight to the Patriarch of the Howard Family and let him take care of our Scott Family's business in the future? We will all appreciate your contributions!"

Tom sneered. In the past, Victor had humiliated him a lot. He called Tom "country bumpkin" and disdained him from the bottom of his heart. Now that Victor saw that he had a relationship with Samuel, he changed to flatter him. Tom looked down on this kind of person from the bottom of his heart.

The others did not want to fall behind and they all surrounded Tom to say what they wanted and hoped that Tom could satisfy them.

Looking at their greedy faces, Tom felt a wave of nausea.

He said awkwardly, "I can't meet all your needs."

"What? Tom, what do you mean?"

"What?! We indeed took a bad attitude towards you just now, but you shouldn't be that stingy. We are your elders at least."

"You saved Samuel's life and he owes you a great favor, so it would be easy for you to satisfy our requests. As our son-in-law in the Scott Family, you won't even help us with this little favor?"

They all began to blame Tom.
