On the way back, Elizabeth kept blaming Tom for causing serious trouble. He should have just endured being beaten just now. He should not have pretended to be a big shot. Now that he had hit Jeremias, he was going to be in deep trouble.
Therefore, Elizabeth kept scolding Tom and asked Tom to go back and apologize to Jeremias at once. He must not get the Scott Family involved.
Tom was really annoyed by what she said. He got angry and said impatiently, "Mom, can you shut up? I told you I wouldn't involve the Scott Family. Why are you still talking nonsense?"
Elizabeth flew into a rage immediately. "Oh my! You are good for nothing. I just gave you some advice. How dare you be impatient with me? If it weren't for our family, you would have starved to death. Now you become a little bit stronger, and you dare to talk back! I knew you had no conscience. You guys didn't believe me. You should believe me now!"
Tom's mouth twitched a few times. He really wanted to refute Elizabeth, but he knew that he shouldn't do this. No matter what, Elizabeth was his mother-in-law.
So he simply ignored her and stopped talking.
When they arrived home and entered the room, they could finally be left alone.
Phoebe still seemed to have something on her mind. After she came back, she had a straight face and was often in a daze. She even became forgetful. When she took a shower, she forgot to bring her clothes in. She slightly opened the door and asked Tom to take the clothes to her.
This kind of thing had never happened before. Tom immediately became excited, his heart beating violently!
Elizabeth was right. They were a fake couple. They had been married for four years and had never been intimate.
After spending four years together day and night, Tom became more interested in Phoebe than any other woman.
Having handed the clothes to Phoebe, Tom couldn't calm down for a long time.
As a result, he didn't sleep well that night.
Fortunately, he was in good health. Even if he didn't sleep enough, he wouldn't be listless.
James said something this morning at breakfast and caught Tom's attention. "Phoebe, I heard from the people in the company that Zack has found an investor who is willing to invest 100 million in Shengke?"
Phoebe paused for a moment, and an unnatural look flashed across her face. Then she nodded as if nothing had happened, "Yes, it's true."
James said, "How did Zack have this kind of connection? How come he knows such a high-level investor? Investing 100 million dollars isn't a simple matter."
Elizabeth said bitterly, "Zack was really lucky. He caused such serious trouble and got kicked out of the Scott Family, but he could still find such a rich investor."
At this point, she kicked Tom under the table and said in a strange tone, "Unlike the trash in our family, who only causes trouble and can't do anything at all!"
Tom got used to her unruly behavior. He just silently folded his legs, pretending not to hear anything.
"Who is this investor Zack has found?" Tom asked curiously.
James glared at him and said angrily, "It's none of your business. It's someone you don't know."
Phoebe suddenly said, "Martin."
Tom thought about it seriously. He really didn't know Martin. He had never heard of him before.
