The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 320

Tom didn't want to lower himself to the same level as these three people who were born in the purple, so he waved his hand to show that he forgave them.

Immediately, Hawthorne waved his hand to ask them to leave. Then he sat down, made tea for Tom himself, making Tom even more uneasy. Tom said, "Thank you, Mr. Paynes. I'm sorry to trouble you to make me tea. I'm overwhelmed!"

Tom had always been a very educated and polite person. From the beginning to the end, Hawthorne was very kind to him and had a warm attitude. How could he let an old man in his eighties make tea for him? He quickly stopped Hawthorne.

Hawthorne chuckled and stopped making tea for Tom. He liked Tom even more. He said, "Okay. Since Mr. Howard says so, I won't make you uncomfortable. Come on, Myles, make tea for Mr. Howard."

Myles came over and began to make tea.

They were in the study of the Paynes, which was specially designed to entertain guests. It was very large, covering dozens of square meters. The study was filled with all kinds of antiques, paintings, and books. It was obvious that Hawthorne was a very thoughtful and educated person.

"This must be Master Chou, right? You are indeed an outstanding person. I'm sorry for neglecting you just now, Master Chou." Hawthorne said with a smile.

Master Chou said, "Mr. Paynes, don't say that! You can call me Chou. I come with the young master. You can just talk to the young master directly. You don't have to pay attention to me."

Hawthorne nodded, looked back at Tom and said, "Mr. Howard..."

Tom quickly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Paynes, please call me Tom."

"Okay. Tom, this is not the first time we've met. Do you remember?" Hawthorne said with a smile.

Tom's heart skipped a beat and he knew what Hawthorne was going to talk about, but he tried to remain calm and politely took the tea that Myles handed him. He smiled and said, "Yes. When I was very young, you came to the Howards and hugged me. I think you may forget about this, so I don't dare to mention it. Haha."

Hawthorne's eyes flashed with a reminiscent look and said, "Yes, many years have passed in the blink of an eye. At that time, your grandfather Anderson was still alive, and your grandfather and I were good friends. Now things are different. Your grandfather passed away, and I have lost one of my good friends."

When Tom heard this, he had a huge lump in his throat. He held back his sadness and said, "Mr. Paynes, I think my grandpa would be very happy in heaven if he knew that you are still missing him!"

Hawthorne smiled and did not say anything. He looked deeply at Tom, then sighed and said guiltily, "Tom, speaking of this, I have to apologize to you. After your grandfather passed away, I didn't take care of you immediately. I hope you can forgive me, Tom."

Tom shook his head and said, "Don't say that. I don't hate you."

"Tom, you're a good person. It's hard for you to suffer so much these years." Hawthorne said, "You can call me grandpa if you want. What do you think?"

When Tom heard this, he was really shocked. Hawthorne was a very important person in G State. He was the chairman of SY Group, and the former president of the G State chamber of commerce. He had a lot of connections and was very capable. Most importantly, even the leaders of H Country had to respect Hawthorne!

Now Hawthorne took the initiative to draw Tom in and even let Tom call him grandpa! If this news got out, it would cause quite a stir.

Tom was very clear about his capability. Although he was the chairman of the ZQ Media and had tens of billions dollars in his hands, he was no match for a big shot like Hawthorne in terms of social status and power.
