The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 21

Tom saw Phoebe's expression and explained hurriedly, "Phoebe, I'm not doing nothing. I..."

Phoebe interrupted him, "I know. You told me a few times, but I didn't believe you."

Elizabeth's face changed. She asked, "What do you mean? Tom gave you 20 million, but you rejected him?"

Phoebe bit her lip and didn't say anything. Now she regretted it. Tom had told her more than once that he had 20 million and could help her through the difficulties, but she didn't believe and scolded him! Objectively speaking, Tom could not be blamed for this.

However, she still could not help but complain to him. Why didn't Tom kept repeating to tell her? As long as Tom kept repeated, she would believe him!

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Mr. Cook would be back tomorrow. She would be with Mr. Cook for three days and nights. It would be a hell of days!

Tom knew that he was being complained about by Phoebe, and he felt bad about it. At this time, James said, "Tom, you should have borrowed 20 million from Samuel. It's not too late to hand it over now!"

"I didn't borrow money from Samuel." Tom lowered his head and said.

Hearing this, Elizabeth became even angrier. She slapped Tom on the face and cursed, "You're such a loser! If anyone else had the chance to get a big favor from Samuel, they would have made rapid advances in their career! Well, God gave you a chance to get rich, but you wasted it! Tom, I know what you're thinking. You called Samuel over on Richard's 70th birthday to pretend to be something. You want everyone to think that you're something and flatter you, don't you? You want Phoebe to be proud of you. Is that how you do it? You don't even care about your wife. You just want to keep your face!"

Tom's face was burning with pain. He explained, "Mom, it's not what you think. I didn't call Samuel here to pretend to be something..."

"Then what are you doing for? Say it! You can't, can you?" Elizabeth poked Tom's head and spat on his face. "Two century-old ginseng, blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and ten million in cash as a gift. How impressive! You used your good luck in exchange for a favor from Samuel, but it was given to Richard. Tom, you're really a good-for-nothing! For the past four years, you have been using our money, not theirs! If we hadn't been kind enough to support you, you would have starved!"

Tom felt very uncomfortable being scolded and wanted to explain. When he saw Phoebe's eyes filled with disappointment and disgust, he was upset again.

"Stop it, mom!" Phoebe rudely interrupted Elizabeth. "Tom didn't do anything wrong. He told me that he could help me with 20 million. I didn't cherish the opportunity. I deserve it. It has nothing to do with him! Besides, he saved Samuel. He can do anything with this favor, and none of us have rights to tell him what to do."

Tom felt awful upon hearing her words. It turned out that Phoebe's impression of him had never changed.

Seeing that Phoebe was disappointed, he really wanted to tell her his true identity, but he bit back his words.

There was no need for that. Phoebe probably wouldn't believe him. Even if she believed, it would only make her look down on him and think that he was playing tricks on her.

So he held back. There would be ample time. Since he had inherited from his grandfather and had plenty of money, Phoebe would fall in love with him one day!

Phoebe waited for him to explain, Tom did not speak for a long time. He lowered his head and was absent-minded. She was even more disappointed and disgusted with Tom. At the same time, she laughed at herself. She had been married to him for four years. Didn't she know Tom well enough? Did she really expect Tom to be manly?
