Tom really came.
When Wes saw Tom, his pupils shrank and he became even more nervous.
There were so many people of the Howards in the hall. The moment they saw Tom, they narrowed their eyes and looked completely different from Wes. They were secretly happy as they succeeded in their scheme.
Samuel looked at Tom with admiration. After all, Tom dared to attend the clan meeting alone. Such boldness was lacking in ordinary people.
Although he admired Tom, he didn't show it.
Owen looked at Tom. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, as if a viper saw its prey.
Everyone's eyes were on Tom. At this moment, He felt unprecedented pressure. However, he digested the pressure completely in an instant. He smiled and walked into the hall.
When everyone looked at him, he also looked back at them all, seeing everyone's expressions.
It was a "banquet of conspiracy".
Those three words immediately appeared in his mind.
In fact, he had already guessed this before he came. Four years ago, the Howards was so cruel that they chased him out. From then on, he had a clear understanding of the so-called family relationship, and from that time on, he had given up his love for the Howards.
Now, more than 200 people in the Howards were not relatives to him, but enemies!
Even though he knew it was a banquet of conspiracy today, he still came. There was no other reason, but he had absolute confidence in himself.
When Samuel saw Tom come in, he immediately showed a big smile. He was very warm and kind. He stood up from his chair and strode towards Tom, "Oh, Tom, finally you're here. Everyone is waiting for you."
Tom also smiled brightly and quickened his pace. He walked towards Samuel and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I was stuck in a traffic jam, so I'm late."
At this moment, Samuel had already walked up to Tom, shook Tom's hand hard, and patted Tom on the shoulder. His eyes were full of admiration. Those who didn't know the situation would think that Samuel and Tom were on good terms.
"It's okay. We're happy that now you're here." Samuel showed enough respect to Tom. He took Tom's hand, sat down in the seat next to him, which used to be Michael's seat. In other words, Tom sat on Samuel's left and Owen sat on Samuel's right. Michael, Samuel's biological son, sat on Tom's left.
When people of the Howards saw this scene, they also showed warm smile to Tom and greeted him warmly. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Outsiders would think that it was a very good and harmonious family. Who would have thought that these were all fake?
They were pretentious, and so was Tom. He always had a smile on his face and he greeted these people warmly.
After some small talk, Samuel gently raised his hand and then put it down to signal silence. Everyone quieted down immediately. Then, he said to Tom, "Tom, you haven't attended the clan meeting for four years. Everyone misses you very much."
