Chapter 73
Phoebe opened her mouth wide and with a sense of unreality. Was he the Tom she knew?
Seeing that these people were frightened by him, Tom walked towards Charles.
When Charles saw him coming, his face immediately turned pale. Revealing a look of fear, he
staggered back. "Why, how could this happen?"
He mumbled, wondering why this happened.
He knew Tiger's strength very well. He was a professional goon. But he couldn't even hold out one
move in front of Tom? How unbelievable!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected the scene was fake! He would have
thought that it was Tiger and Tom who joined to perform a play for him.
However, he had to believe it.
Tom walked up to him and smiled brightly at him. "Do you want me to kneel down and call you grandpa
ten times?"
"I, I, I, I..."
Snap!
A slap on Charles's face made his glasses fly away. He spun around and fell to the ground.
This slap wiped out all of Charles's pride and confidence and woke him up from the drunken state. His
lips trembled a few times, and his eyes were red. He was crying.
Tom kicked him over and stared at him condescendingly, "I warned you not to act rashly. But you just
ignore my words!"
Facing Tom's coercion, Charles's mentality completely collapsed. "I was wrong. I was wrong. Please let
me go. I am nothing, please don't waste your time with me."
"Now you know you're wrong? Unfortunately, it's too late." Tom sneered and took out his cell phone
from his pocket, "You should talk to the police."
Hearing his words, Charles was even more frightened. He knelt down and begged Tom for mercy.
"Please, don't call the police! Please, I don't want to be put in jail!"
He looked so embarrassed with snot and tears. He was no longer as handsome and imposing as he
was when he first appeared tonight.
Phoebe looked at this scene and felt very uncomfortable. When they were in junior school, Charles was
a good student. They studied hard together, competed with and encouraged each other. But now,
things were quite different. Charles sank to such depths.
"Tom!" Phoebe stopped him.
"Hmm?"
"Let him go."
"Are you sure?" Tom frowned slightly.
Phoebe nodded.
"Okay." Tom let go of Charles.
On the way back, they remained silent. Phoebe frowned with a heavy heart.
When they were almost home, Phoebe said to Tom, "Thank you for tonight."
Tom smiled and said, "Silly, we are husband and wife. There's nothing to thank me."
Hearing the words "husband and wife," Phoebe's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but
she didn't say it in the end.
"I'm a little sleepy. You sleep in the room tonight."
"Ah? Okay." Tom nodded hard. Finally, he could sleep in the room again. He wondered when could he
be closer to Phoebe and sleep with her on the same bed?
Well, as long as he tried harder, he could definitely achieve it!
...
Because Phoebe's Volkswagen was hit last night, there was a big dent in the front of the car, and the
entire headlights were broken. This morning, when Elizabeth saw this situation, she immediately flew
into a rage. She scolded, "Tom, you trash, how did you drive? How could the car be hit like this? you
wanted to destroy our family, aren't you?"
Tom said, "It's not too bad, is it? Besides, it was someone else who bumped into our car, not me who
bumped into other's."
"How dare you talk back!" Elizabeth slapped Tom on the back of his head. Putting her hands on her
hips. she looked like a shrew. She pointed at Tom's nose and scolded him. She was very angry early.
Phoebe couldn't stand it anymore. "Mom, don't scold him. I drove the car last night and it was my fault.
Besides, it can be covered by the insurance."
Elizabeth continued to scold angrily, "But it will still cost money. The insurance fee will be expensive
next year. It will be I who pay for this money in the end!"
Tom was impatient and said, "You don't have to pay. I'll pay for the insurance next year."
Unexpectedly, Elizabeth became even angrier and slapped Tom on the back of the head again. "Oh!
You trash, how dare you talk back? ... How dare you to fight back?!"
She didn't slap Tom this time because Tom turned around, grabbed her hand firmly, and said in a deep
voice, "Mom, can you stop patting my head from now on? I don't want to be embarrassed anymore." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Elizabeth's face darkened. "Rebellious! Tom, you trash are really really rebellious. How dare you hit
me? James, your wife has been hit. Why don't you come over and help me fight back?"
She yelled, rude and unreasonable, which made Tom a headache.
James was reading newspapers in the living room, and he said angrily, "Elizabeth, can you stop
messing around? It's just that the car was hit. Just fix it. You don't have to behave like that."
"Good, you all ganged up on me, didn't you?" Elizabeth's expression was ferocious.
"Enough!" Phoebe slammed the table, her face cold. "Don't be noisy anymore. I'll pay for the insurance
next year. You don't have to pay for it."
When Elizabeth heard this, her facial expression looked much better. She snorted and did not speak
again.
After breakfast, Phoebe said to Tom, "Drive me to work and drive the car for repairs."
Tom nodded and said, "Okay."
It seemed that he couldn't go to ZQ today. After Tom sent Phoebe to the company, he drove straight to
the repair store.
The collision was relatively serious, and it would take a long time to repair, at least five or six hours.
Tom was bored staying in the 4s shop, so he went shopping nearby.
In fact, he had never given Phoebe a decent gift. When at the jewelry store, he was going to buy
"Eternal Heart" to Phoebe, but Phoebe misunderstood him so he couldn't give it out.
A street ahead was full of shops. Tom went there to see if there was anything suitable for Phoebe.
He walked to the antique street and suddenly saw that there were a lot of people in front of an antique
store, which made him curious and he decided to walk over to see what was going on.
"Three million, no less!"
A man's voice came from the crowd with a determined tone, which made it sound like he didn't want to
lose even a penny.
A gasp sounded immediately. Three million dollars was not a small amount.
Then came a woman's voice, "If it's really Yong Zheng's calligraphy and painting, three million dollars is
not expensive."
Yong Zheng's calligraphy and painting?
Tom was stunned and immediately attracted. He squeezed into the crowd and his eyes lit up because
he saw a beautiful man.
No, to be exact, this was a woman, a woman dressed as a man...
