Tom's words overwhemed all the members of the Howards and rendered their eyes wide open.
Many of them grew furious all of a sudden. They stared at Tom and were about to go crazy.
The seniors who had just spoken grabbed their chests and the color on their faces faded. They were gasping for air because it was too overwhelming and they were about to faint.
Samuel was also so shocked that he blurted out.
More than 50 billion of inheritance, donated?
What kind of prodigal son could do this!
Suddenly, Tom's words aroused a lot of people's anger. They all dropped their pretence and began to stand up directly. They walked to Tom and scolded him, "Bastard! Bastard! More than 50 billion of inheritance, you actually donated it!"
"Bastard! Tom, you are such a bastard!"
"What the hell? More than 50 billion is the hard-earned money of the Howards. What does it have to do with you Tom? You actually donated this money?! I really want to kill you! Damn it, I should have killed you four years ago!"
"That's right. I should have killed him in the first place! If I killed him, there wouldn't be so much trouble now! My God, more than 50 billion, more than 50 billion!"
"Why are you bothering talking to him now? Just do it and beat him to death. Why do we keep such a scumbag alive?!"
The crowd were filled with indignation. They all glared at Tom and looked at Tom with hatred, hostility, and anger.
However, in the face of so many people's anger, Tom did not show any panic or nervousness. Instead, he had a faint smile on his face and drank his tea at ease. He said, "This is the money grandpa left me. It's my decision to donate them. It has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Bullshit!"
A granduncle in his seventies pointed at Tom and cursed, "What do you mean by your money? Have you made any contributions to the Howards? That's the money of the Howards! It's the money that more than 200 people of the Howards have worked hard to earn. Does it have anything to do with you? Tom, you bastard, you have ruined the Howards. You are really a disgrace of the Howards."
The granduncle went too far as he spoke. Tom's face began to darken and he stared straight at the grand uncle and said, "Granduncle, is that a little bit too much? Just now, you were ashamed for me being expelled from the Howards four years ago and regretted not defending me back then. Now you're calling me the disgrace of the Howards?"
Granduncle's expression was ferocious and he stared at Tom. How could there be any kindness and guilt left when he faced Tom just now? Now his eyes flashed with anger and hatred, wishing Tom would drop dead immediately.
The others also looked at Tom angrily, like a group of demons in hell. As long as anyone of them made the first move, they would all immediately jump on Tom and bit him to death.
Tom's eyes flashed across the faces of these so-called relatives. Now his heart was as cold as ever, and the last ounce of attachment to this family was cut off!
At this moment, Owen, who had been silent throughout the whole time, said, "Tom, that's enough. You don't have to act anymore. You wouldn't possibly have donated this money."
Hearing Owen's words, everyone was stunned, and then they began to come back to their senses. That was right. It was more than 50 billion. Tom was not a fool. How could he donate such a large sum of money?
Alas, it was all their fault that they were too excited just now and were not clear-headed enough, so Tom could have tricked them.
