The Vengeful Son-in-law

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."

Elizabeth's eyes lit up when she heard Givenchy. She was so happy that her mouth could hardly close.

She was saying declining words, but she couldn't wait to open the gift box. When she saw this pile of

expensive cosmetics, she smiled so hard. She kept thanking and praising Rory. She blurted out her

innermost thought, "Rory, you're so nice. I really want you to be my son-in-law!"

When Rory heard this, he couldn't hide his smile. He said hypocritically, "Auntie, stop joking. Huh, I'm

not so lucky to marry Phoebe."

Just then, Tom came out after washing up. He answered, "You really don't have the luck."

When Rory heard this, his facial expression immediately changed. Turning around, Elizabeth glared at

Tom and scolded, "Tom! Shut up! Who allows you to say here? Get back to your room!"

Tom pretended not to hear Elizabeth and sat down next to Phoebe.

James also glared at Tom and said to Rory with a smile, "Rory, Tom is clumsy of speech. Don't annoy

yourself with him."

"Huh, uncle, don't worry. I'm generous. How can I be angry with him?"

"That's good, that's good." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Rory glanced at Tom disdainfully. His eyes were sending a message, "Loser, how can you compete

with me?"

Tom smiled indifferently and did not take his provocation seriously.

Next, Rory put on airs, saying a flow of words about some big shots he met abroad, the knowledge he

learned, and the benefit he made by investing in bitcoins. Elizabeth and James's eyes light up when

they listened to Rory. They were even eager to kick Tom aside and hold Phoebe and Rory's wedding

on the spot.

Tom didn't feel any jealousy at all about Rory's boasting.

Phoebe was also cold at first, but Rory was too good at pretending. Soon, she was attracted by Rory's

eloquence.

Rory was very proud of this. He showed much stronger contempt and disdain for Tom as if he had

already won.

To be honest, Phoebe still hoped that Tom could be more competitive. Then, he would not be so easily

outshone by Rory and would resist Rory's abuse at least. But in the end, Tom was still the same Tom

as before. He always disappointed her like this.

Rory was a true business elite, a successful person. Tom could not compete with him in any way.

During the chat, Rory deliberately talked about some topics to embarrass Tom several times. In the

end, Tom could not deal with them at all. The gap between the two was obvious, which really

disappointed her!

"Tom, how can I insist on spending the rest of my life with you if you keep being so incompetent?"

Phoebe sighed deeply.

Since they hadn't prepared a meal at home, the whole family went out to eat at the restaurant at eleven

o'clock.

Elizabeth's intention was not to take Tom with them. However, Phoebe insisted, so they had to agree.

When they arrived at the five-star restaurant where they booked a private room, Rory acted like a

master and made all kinds of arrangements, while Tom looked very incompetent in comparison.

At this moment, Rory suddenly said, "Uncle, I just remembered that you seem to like antiques very

much. Some days earlier, I auctioned a piece of blue and white porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty. I

hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. One of his bodyguards came over with a gift box wrapped in an

extremely exquisite package.

A piece of blue and white porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty? It was such a coincidence that Tom

received one yesterday.

Tom was stunned.
