Phoebe was shocked, and her face was turning pale. She also appeared very embarrassed.
Tom frowned. He looked at the source of the voice. It was a lewd-looking man who walked over with a wicked smile, winking at Charles fawningly.
Charles didn't come into the hotel immediately just now because he called to learn about Tom. His inquiry did not disappoint him, but brought him a big surprise!
It turned out that Phoebe had not married off, but had found a matrilocal husband who joined the Scott Family. Moreover, this guy was a waste. He had a terrible reputation in H City, which many people knew. Charles also found out that Phoebe didn't get along well with this guy, because he had done a lot of things to embarrass Phoebe over the years!
In fact, Charles was overjoyed when he heard the news.
That was really a chance given to him by god. This meant that there was a great possibility to win Phoebe. After all, a beautiful woman like Phoebe was rarely seen anywhere. Even if Phoebe was married, it didn't matter. Young people were open-minded now, and there were more people living together before marriage. In fact, there was no difference between being in love and getting married. Charles had no virginity complex. If he could win Phoebe's heart, it would perfect!
Of course, he wouldn't hide the news himself.
Judging from Phoebe's reaction just now, Phoebe was not very willing to let her classmates know about it. If someone else gave away the secret, it would definitely make Phoebe feel ashamed and she would blame Tom. Then Charles would have a better chance to take advantage of it.
So, there was the scene just now. He broke the news through a paparazzo.
"What?"
"Did I hear right? Did Phoebe find a matrilocal husband?"
"That's too shocking. Isn't Phoebe a gorgeous woman? Why would she find a matrilocal husband? She can marry any rich guys she wants with her charm, right?"
A lot of people began to talk about it, and the discussion was more intense than before. People's look at Tom was getting weird.
Under such circumstances, Phoebe was even more embarrassed. She really regretted calling Tom over now. "Phoebe, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?" She shouldn't have called Tom over. Sadly, she was really going to lose face!
The head teacher coughed twice and stood up to defuse embarrassment, "Jia Hong, don't talk nonsense. There is no matrilocal son-in-law in this era."
Jia Hong, who looked lewd, chuckled and said, "I didn't talk at random. Phoebe really found a matrilocal husband. Otherwise, why wouldn't she introduce her husband?"
Phoebe remained silent. She wanted to appear natural, but she found that she couldn't do it. It was too difficult.
When everyone saw Phoebe's reaction, they understood that Jia Hong was right. The man beside Phoebe was really her matrilocal husband. For a moment, the discussion became louder. Of course, it sounded sarcastic and gloating.
During this period, Jia Hong kept exaggerating the details, saying how useless Tom was as a matrilocal husband and he couldn't even find a job or anything.
When talking about some funny things, he also made a lot of people laugh. The atmosphere was very cheerful for a while, but it was uncomfortable for Phoebe.
Tom's face darkened. He stood up and said, "Have you all said enough? Shut up!"
His voice was loud, coupled with his seriousness, which suddenly stopped a lot of people from mocking.
Tom continued, "It's true that I'm Phoebe's matrilocal husband, but I'm not a loser! It's not your turn to comment on me and Phoebe!"
