The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 98

When Tom saw Rory's expression, he probably knew what Rory was thinking. Keeping silent, he made the bed and then went to wash up.

Rory looked in the direction where he left and asked, "Auntie, is he Phoebe's husband?"

Elizabeth said with embarrassment, "Yeah...Sort of."

Feeling Elizabeth's dissatisfaction with Tom, Rory felt even happier. After sitting down, he asked, "Did he argue with Phoebe? Why did he come to the living room to sleep?"

Of course, he asked deliberately. Sure enough, he heard the disdainful answer of Elizabeth, "How dare he quarrel with Phoebe? Although he and Phoebe got married, his status in our family is still low. He is our servant. Phoebe won't let him sleep in the bed with her."

Rory could not hide the smile on his face. He deliberately looked surprised and said, "Oh? Why? Aren't they intimate?"

"Phoebe has never been intimate with him. To be honest, he's just the man who married into our family, who our entire Scott Family doesn't like." Elizabeth said. Then she thought of something, her eyes rolling. She smiled and said, "Rory, although Phoebe has been married for four years, Tom hasn't even touched her hand, let alone slept with her. So, Phoebe is still..."

"Mom!" Phoebe couldn't help but come over and stop her, "You'd better stop mouthing off!"

Elizabeth was suddenly unhappy and glared at Phoebe, "Hey, how can you talk to me like this?"

Rory immediately said, "Auntie, I'm the one who asked too much. Since Phoebe doesn't like it, let's not talk about it anymore."

Then he said to the two bodyguards, "Well, you two go downstairs and wait for me."

James said, "Rory, these two are your bodyguards, right? Just let them stay. There are places for them to rest."

"No." Rory shook his head and said in a dignified manner, "They're just servants. They just do what servants should do."

He waved his hand and sent the two bodyguards away. The series of movements were very natural, impressing people with his sense of dignity. His behavior immediately made Elizabeth and James more satisfied with him.

Phoebe frowned slightly. She didn't agree with Rory. Everyone was born equal. Rory was too self-important and pretentious by doing so.

"Uncle, auntie, I returned home in a hurry this time. Without too much time to prepare gifts, I just brought you these little gifts. I hope you won't dislike them." Rory said with a smile as he took out the presents and introduced, "Uncle, this is Longjing Tea that I specially asked people to buy from Hang City at a high price. I hope you will enjoy it. And this is the foreign wine I brought back from abroad..."

What he brought were all expensive gifts. James said in surprise, "Oh, Rory, why did you bring such expensive gifts? I can't accept them! Take them back, take them back!"

James declined.

Rory said with a smile, "Uncle, you are welcome. I will be unhappy to be treated as a stranger. Besides, these are all worthless gifts. I'm even abashed to take them out. In terms of my closeness to Phoebe, I had to at least bring you top-grade Dahongpao tea and a bottle of Rémy Martin. However, coming in such a hurry, I couldn't get anything ready. I should ask you not to be angry with me."

What he said made them comfortable and invisibly closed the distance between him and Phoebe.

Tom was still washing up in the bathroom. When he heard these hypocritical words, he was particularly disdainful.

However, when James heard these words, he could not conceal his smile. He said very happily, "Rory, I'm already happy that you can come to visit me. Next time you come here, don't bring any gifts!"

As he spoke, he pretended to reluctantly accept these gifts. Tea, tobacco, and wine were all here. They were worth at least tens of thousands dollars. Rory was such a good boy!

Rory took out another gift bag, which was for Elizabeth, "Auntie, I know you like cosmetics. This time, I specially bought a few sets of Givenchy's cosmetics for you abroad. I hope you like them."
