The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 321

"Why? You're not willing to?" Hawthorne asked unhappily when he saw Tom's reaction.

Tom smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Paynes, to be honest, I'm married, so I don't have that luck to marry your granddaughter."

The fact that Tom was the uxorialocal son-in-law of the Scotts was no longer a secret in H City. How could Hawthorne not know? Now that Hawthorne said so, Tom suspected that Hawthorne was teasing him.

Hawthorne was not surprised at all and said, "I know. Your wife's name is Phoebe. She is Richard's granddaughter and the chairwoman of the SK Lighting. As far as I know, why she can become the chairwoman of the SK Lighting was because of your help."

"Since you already know, why do you still mention that you want to marry your granddaughter to me?" Tom said with a bitter smile, implying that Hawthorne was teasing him.

Hawthorne said, "Haha, Tom, don't you think I'm joking with you?"

Tom rolled his eyes, which was obvious a yes to his question.

Hawthorne laughed and said, "You misunderstood me. It's normal for a good man to keep several women. In the world, those excellent men have not only one woman for the rest of their lives. I'm not joking with you. You are the best young man I have ever seen. Keeping several women is what you deserve. Otherwise, it would be too boring to be with one woman for the rest of your life."

Tom was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't believe that it was from Hawthorne's mouth. Now it was the 21st century, not the feudal era, and a society ruled by law. How could he act in this way? Besides, Hawthorne was in his eighties. It wasn't appropriate for him to say so.

Facing Hawthorne's words, Tom could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.

Myles, who was making tea, said, "Tom, you don't have to worry about if my little girl is your good match. She is indeed a little cold and arrogant, but in terms of her figure, appearance, personality, and manners, she is excellent. She won't disappoint you."

It turned out that they wanted him to marry Myles's daughter. No wonder Caroline looked at him strangely just now. She looked at him as if he had already been her son-in-law.

"Uncle Payne, I'm married. If I marry your daughter, it's a crime of bigamy. It's not fair to your daughter. I assume she probably won't marry a married man, right?" Tom thought he had said it tactfully and clearly.

Now he really didn't understand what these two men thought about. They actually proposed to marry a daughter to him at this time. Were they teasing him?

Myles shook his head and said, "As long as Tom nods, I can make this marriage happen. We don't need you to be an uxorial son-in-law, just be my son-in-law. This is a good offer for you. Besides, as long as you marry my daughter, you will have our the Paynes's support, and the North Sky Association will definitely not dare to trouble you again."

It did sound tempting, and there was nothing but good for Tom. Any normal man would know what to do. But Tom knew that the reason why the Paynes made this choice was not simple as it seemed, and there must be something more.

Tom thought for a while and said, "It sounds very tempting. I've taken all the advantages. But grandpa, uncle, you may not know me very well. I don't like taking advantage of others, so I'm sorry. I can't agree to this marriage."

Hawthorne and Myles looked at each other, and then Myles said, "Tom, I knew we couldn't hide anything from you. At your age, with such achievements and such a manner, you are one in a million!"

Tom just smiled and said nothing.

Then Myles added, "Tom, you're right. Now, we won't hide it from you. The reason why our the Paynes wants to marry a daughter to you is not that simple, but there is nothing harmful to you. We like you. You are only 28 years old, and you have reached the Innate Realm, which is rare in the world. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Although our the Paynes seemed very powerful, in fact, there are no experts cultivating to the Innate Realm in our family."

Tom remained silent after hearing this. He was thinking if Myles was telling the truth. Logically speaking, a business family like the Paynes had very strong connections. Even if there was no expert reaching the Innate Realm in the family, it didn't matter.
