The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 70

"Phoebe, you're so discreet! You have never told us that your husband is so powerful."

"That's right. You married such a rich man and said that he was of a humble origin. Are you afraid that

we'll steal your husband away?"

"I told you. Phoebe is the most beautiful girl in our class. How can she marry an ordinary person?"

"That's right..."

As soon as Phoebe came over, she was surrounded by a group of female classmates. They kept

flattering her, which made Phoebe very confused. She didn't know what happened, "What are you all

talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"You're still pretending. Are you afraid that we'll steal your husband away?"

"Yeah. Just now, your husband was so imposing that even Forrest had to respectfully call him Mr.

Howard. That was awesome! Phoebe, what does your husband do? Why didn't you talk about him

before?"

They all began to inquire about Tom's background.

Phoebe frowned. She was totally puzzled.

Soon, as all these female classmates explained to her and supplemented each other, Phoebe

understood the ins and outs of the matter. She felt it incredible.

After four years of marriage, Phoebe was almost the one who knew Tom best. However, she didn't

know how Tom made acquaintance with Forrest and earned Forrest's respect. Why did that sound

unrealistic?

Phoebe was confused. Walking over, she pulled Tom aside and frowned, "What's going on?"

"What?" Tom blinked.

"Don't play dumb!" Phoebe pinched him, "Make it clear to me!"

Seeing that she was really a little angry, Tom did not dare to keep her in suspense. He smiled and said,

"You know I saved Samuel before. Then I happened to meet Forrest once I met Samuel. He thought I

was a relative of Samuel, so he was so respectful when he saw me just now."

"Really?" Phoebe was a little confused. She always felt that Tom was more mysterious than before as if

he was hiding something from her.

Tom looked at Phoebe with all his eyes and said, "Of course it's true. Why do I lie to you? Besides,

don't you know my background?"

Phoebe believed it. Indeed, she knew Tom's background very well. He was just a poor boy from the

countryside.

That seemed to be the reason.

Phoebe didn't think much about it. She rolled her eyes at Tom and said angrily, "You're good at taking

advantage of others' influence. If Forrest finds out that you're lying to him, he'll hate your guts."

"Huh, how dare he?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." Tom shook his head and pointed to Forrest, who was singing on the stage, "Listen to the

song."

It had to be said that as a popular star, Forrest was indeed adet at singing. Many people took out their

phones to take videos and post the video clips on their WhatsApp Moments to show off.

Feeling Tom's gaze, Forrest sang even more enthusiastically.

After singing a song, he made up his own mind and said loudly, "Next, I will sing a song called 'eternal

meteor' to Mr. Howard and his wife. I wish them to live in harmony and mutual respect, grow old

together, and love each other forever!"

All of a sudden, the spotlight fell on Phoebe and Tom. Everyone looked at them enviously, especially

those female classmates. They were extremely jealous.

The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

Phoebe blushed all of a sudden, and her heart was beating fast.

Tom took the opportunity to hold her hand and smiled gently at her.

Phoebe struggled a little but did not free herself, so she let Tom hold her.

It was heartbreaking that it was the first time that Tom had held Phoebe's hand even though they had

been married for so long.

Some people were happy and some were sad. Many of the male classmates who had secretly loved

Phoebe were extremely bitter. When they saw that their long-time goddess had a conjugal felicity now,

they were all envious.

Especially Charles, whose eyes were cold, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

He had prepared for tonight's class reunion for a long time. He paid all the expenses in full and invited

Forrest to sing, just to make a big splash in front of everyone. Then he could win Phoebe's heart and

reached the peak of his life. However, Tom's appearance had disrupted his plan and deprived the fruits

of his labors.

At this moment, his jealousy and hatred for Tom reached a peak.

He should have been the one who enjoyed the admiration of the crowd, but Tom now became the

focus. He was not willing to accept it.

When one suffered violent mood swings, it was always easy to make extreme choices.

Taking a deep look at Tom, he walked aside and made a phone call.

"Hello, is that Tiger? It's me, Charles... That's it. Are you free now? I want you to assign a few brothers

to help me beat someone up..."

After Charles hung up the phone, the corner of his mouth rose and became a sneer. He thought:

"Hmph, Tom, right? Just wait and see! No one has ever let me lose so much. Your retribution will be

coming soon!"

The class reunion had completely changed until now. No one tried to please Charles anymore.

Everyone began to flatter Phoebe and Tom.

For the first time, Phoebe felt being the focus of the crowd, and her mood also relaxed. Even the big

star Forrest was polite to her, which made her feel it unrealistic.

After the class reunion, she returned to the car and came back to her senses. She said with emotion,

"No wonder everyone wants to be the privileged."

Tom started the motor and said meaningfully, "We can also become the privileged."

Phoebe rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Huh, maybe the next life?"

Tom smiled without more explanation.

After a long drive out of the resort, Tom suddenly frowned and looked into the rearview mirror. He

smiled playfully.

Someone was stalking them.

"Hold on to your seat. I'm going to accelerate." Tom said to Phoebe.

Phoebe said, "Why are you driving that fast? It's still early, and we're not in a hurry to go back."

"Someone is stalking us."

"What?!" Phoebe was shocked, "Who?"

"I don't know yet." Tom said, "It could be someone sent by Charles."

"Charles?" Phoebe frowned and said, "Why did he send someone to stalk us? Are you too paranoid?

Charles is a good person excellent in character and learning."

"That's not necessarily true. I stole his limelight tonight. He might be angry and seek revenge on me."

Tom said with a smile.

Phoebe said unhappily, "Don't judge such a gentleman by your yardstick. I know Charles's character

very well. He won't do this." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

However, not long after she spoke, a car suddenly rushed out from the intersection ahead and stopped

them directly in front of Tom's car.
