The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 436

Hawthorne and Myles looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They all knew who Rufus was. It was not too much to call him the Big Brother of W City. His public assets were 670 billion dollars. If his private assets were included, then it might be worth hundreds of billions. It was unbelievable that Rufus was so loyal to Tom!

And most importantly, Rufus was still a person at the Extrinsic Peak. If he submitted to Tom like this, it meant that Tom's value was far beyond their expectations!

So the way they looked at Tom now became even more different.

So Tom really didn't take the 20 billion dollars seriously.

Hawthorne thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Howard, we didn't think it through. We took the liberty of disturbing you. I'm sorry. Since Mr. Howard wants to rest, we'll take our leave first."

Tom nodded and went into the bedroom without a response.

Myles sighed regretfully. If they hadn't chosen to draw a line with Tom, it would be a completely different situation now. Alas!

Isabella, who had not spoken for a long time, bit her lips. Instead of following Hawthorne and the others, she stayed and looked at Tom's figure. Then she gritted her teeth and walked in.

Elliot was stunned and said quickly, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop!"

The other the Paynes people who were about to leave were also shocked.

Isabella bit her lips and said firmly, "I have something to say to Tom!"

Elliot said with a cold face, "How dare you call Mr. Howard by his name?!"

Myles also quickly came up, grabbed Isabella, and said in a low voice, "Isabella, what are you doing? Pay respect to Mr. Howard!"

Isabella said seriously, "I'm not disrespectful to him. I just want to talk to him alone."

"Well..." Myles didn't know what to say for a moment.

As Elliot was about to scold her with a cold face, Tom's voice came from the bedroom. "Let her in."

"Yes, Mr. Howard." Elliot nodded immediately, not daring to say anything more. He stepped aside and let Isabella in.

After a while, the others left the office, leaving only Isabella in Tom's office.

"Go ahead." Tom said faintly.

Isabella looked at Tom now, feeling he was very strange and distant.

In retrospect, she was in a very complicated mood. When she first met Tom, she still looked down on him at that time. But now, she looked up to Tom.

Taking a deep breath, Isabella said, "I'm sorry about what happened last time. Our the Paynes let you down, but I hope you can give us a chance to make up for it, okay?"

Seeing that Tom was still expressionless, Isabella took two more steps forward, bent down, lower her profile, and said in a pleading tone, "Brother Tom, for the sake that we are friends..."

"Is that enough?" Tom didn't let her continue. He interrupted her directly. Isabella's face froze. "If you finish your speaking, go out. I want to rest."

From the beginning to the end, Tom's attitude was very cold, and he did not take Isabella seriously at all. It was not that he was mean, but because that the Paynes' approach really broke his heart.

Now that the Paynes saw that he had risen up, they tried to curry favor with him. But how could he respond to them again? His principles were not that cheap!
