Of course, Tom wouldn't be angry just because of Rory's ridicule. He was used to being misunderstood and ridiculed. "Rory, it seems that you came here prepared as you had investigated my information clearly. Presumably, you had also calculated that Phoebe would appear in Martin's villa. When Phoebe needed help the most, you would appear and save Phoebe as a savior. At that time, Phoebe would naturally be grateful to you and pledge to marry you. Good plan. Good plan."
When Phoebe heard this, her face changed slightly.
She was a smart person. Following Tom's words, she immediately understood that Rory had long known that she was at Martin's place and she was in danger and needed to be rescued. Rory deliberately waited until the critical moment to appear, and she would naturally be grateful to Rory. Most importantly, she would owe him another big favor in an invisible way!
Rory's pupils constricted in an instant, and some panic and guilt flashed through his eyes!
His eyes darkened. Obviously, Tom was right. He did know in advance that Phoebe was there. In fact, he had already come back last week, but he didn't rush to find Phoebe immediately. Instead, he set up a plan, figured out Phoebe's character, and then succeeded in a single shot.
During this period, he also went to investigate Tom's identity on purpose. He knew the old saying that "Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat". He was a very cautious person. He had to be more than 80 % sure of everything before he started to do it.
In his information, Mr. Howard was a useless son-in-law. Mr. Howard was unable to do anything even if Mr. Howard was given the chance. And Mr. Howard couldn't pose a threat to him.
But now it turned out that Tom was not a uselss man, but a courageous and resourceful opponent!
A single sentence of Mr. Howard made him fall short of success for lack of a final effort.
For this reason, Rory looked deeply at Tom, and soon he made the most correct reaction. He did not deny it, but he generously admitted it, "Yes! I did know that you were with Martin, and I knew that Martin had an ulterior motive for you. I also deliberately started to appear at your most dangerous time, creating a heroic phenomenon to save the beauty."
Rory's generous admission surprised Tom, but the next moment, Mr. Howard immediately realized that it was not good. He couldn't help but look at Rory deeply and 'praise' Rory.
What a good countermine.
It seemed that this Rory was really a master. He was not a fool like Brian and Charles.
Phoebe's reaction was not as fast as Tom's. Her face immediately turned cold. She looked at Rory more coldly and disgustedly.
Then Rory slapped himself hard. It was loud, and Phoebe's cold expression immediately became shocked. "Brother Zamani, you..."
Rory stared at Phoebe and said, "Phoebe, I admit that what I did just now was despicable. I lied to you. I deserve to die! For the past four years, I have been thinking of you every day, every hour, every minute and every second! I want to make you feel good about me so eagerly. I want to get you back so much. This made me make such a wrong choice! Do you know? In the past four years, I have fantasized about meeting you countless times. I have imagined more than ten thousand scenes! I'm so scared at the thought that when I see you again, you wouldn't recognize me anymore and you wouldn't care about me anymore. This is something I can't accept, so I panicked, lost my mind, and made such a bad decision. I hope you can look me in the eye again!"
"Phoebe, I was wrong. Scold me. Even if you hit me, I won't make any complaints!" At this point, Rory closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, waiting for Phoebe's slap.
When Tom saw Rory's behavior, he had to admire Rory. Rory had a lot of methods one after another. He knew Phoebe's character so well. In this way, how could Phoebe still hate him?
Of course, admiration was admiration while the opponent was still the opponent. Since Rory had already asked for a slap, he would naturally not miss this opportunity.
While Phoebe was in a daze, he suddenly extended his hand and slapped Rory on the face. With a loud slap, Rory spun around and half of his handsome face swelled up.
