The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 57

Duncan was rendered speechless. He was not an eloquent person and he stammered when nervous. Now that he was too angry to refute, he began to stammer anxiously. "You, shut-shut up!"

Wilson slammed his palm on the coffee table. "Tom! Who are you to say that to my son? You're a loser who can't even find a job!"

Sammy also swore angrily, "You're just a weak-kneed. You are jealous because my son works in the ZQ Media but you are just a hopeless real estate agent. You envy him, so you maliciously slander him. You really suck!"

The three of them went on the rampage and attacked Tom with all kinds of harsh words.

However, Tom was not provoked at all, and even felt like laughing.

Wilson complained to Elizabeth unhappily, "Elizabeth, take your son-in-law in control. He knows nothing but jealousy. You have to ask him to apologize to us for defaming Duncan!"

Elizabeth slapped Tom on the back of the head and demanded, "Tom, you waste of space, apologize to Duncan now."

Tom was reluctant. "Mom, I was just saying. He overreacted. Why should I apologize?"

Elizabeth scowled at him, rolled up her sleeves, and said with a straight face, "you do not talk back to me! I'll count to three and you apologize to Duncan. Otherwise, leave and never return!"

Seeing Elizabeth fume with anger, Tom knew it was not sensible to mess with Duncan now. He could make a call to fire him later.

"I'm sorry." Tom said to Duncan despite himself.

Duncan's lips broke into a smile, but he was not satisfied. He frowned and said, "that's no way to apologize. You didn't mean it."

Elizabeth kicked Tom again and snapped, "louder! Don't be like a girl!"

Tom felt resigned and raised his voice. "I'm sorry for my derogatory remarks. You didn't buy your position in ZQ. You got in because you are capable."

Duncan was still unsatisfied and unpleased. Tom's words smacked of inexplicable irony, so he just gave a broody groan.

Next, Duncan began to brag about the scale of the ZQ Media, its annual profit, and how many popular stars it had.

As the chairman of ZQ, Tom found it interesting to hear someone else raving about his company.

"You know what, ZQ Media just changed its chairman not long ago. The new chairman is from a super-rich family whose wealth is beyond your imagination!" Duncan took a sip of tea mysteriously. "It was only after I got in ZQ that I found out that our new chairman bought most of the shares of the company with five billion dollars from the Howard Family! Five billion dollars! Can you imagine that? This house can't hold that amount of money in cash!"

Tom gave a start. Didn't he buy ZQ for 2.5 billion? How did it become five billion? It was doubled.

When Elizabeth heard this number, she opened her mouth wide in shock. "Oh my god, five billion! He's so rich. The Scott Family's total assets add up to only 45 million dollars."
