The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 165

A moment ago, she was still very depressed and angry with Tom. Later, when she received Tom's call,

she seemed to be a different person. She was overjoyed.

Colton and Laylani were both startled by her extreme reaction. Colton scolded with a face on the deck,

"Kaylie! What are you doing? Don't yell. What's wrong with you?"

As a woman, her mother, Laylani, saw something different. She immediately realized that her daughter

really fell in love with Tom as she was so happy just because of his phone call. So she pulled Colton

and gave him a look, telling Colton not to blame Kaylie.

Colton also realized this from Laylani's eyes. His expression was a little complicated.

As a father, he only had one daughter, Kaylie. He loved his daughter so much that her marriage was

more important to him than his career. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found Kaylie a good husband like

Martin. However, he didn't know how long it had been since he saw his daughter so happy. How

couldn't he find that his daughter was genuinely happy?

Kaylie stuck out her tongue. She also realized that her reaction was a little exaggerated. She felt a little

embarrassed. She quickly ran aside to take the phone, and said in a resentful tone, "Finally you call

me. I thought you disappeared from the world!"

Tom's apologetic voice came from the phone. "I'm sorry. I left my phone in the company these two

days. I turned it down so I missed your call."

This explanation really sounded insincere. But to Kaylie, she was still very happy to hear it. The

resentment in her heart immediately disappeared. However, she snorted and said unhappily, "It's all an

excuse. It's been two days, and you haven't called me at all."

Hearing her complaint, Tom had a headache. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Why did you

call me?"

Kaylie stammered and didn't get to the point for a long time. Tom was a little dizzy and said directly,

"You don't have to beat around the bush. If you need my help with anything, just say it. I'm available

these two days."

Hearing Tom's words, Kaylie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was waiting for this sentence. So,

she stopped beating around the bush and said, "Well, I have to invite guests to my home tomorrow.

Can you come over and be my boyfriend?"

"What?" Tom raised his voice a lot. "You still want to do that? No, no."

Kaylie was addicted to using him as a shield. Besides, tomorrow was the engagement party of the

Knights and the Gablehausers. If he was going to be Kaylie's boyfriend, this would be explosive news.

Kaylie begged, "It's just one day. Please, help me." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"You're trying to trick me. Tomorrow is your engagement party with Martin. If I were your boyfriend, I

would have made big trouble." Tom said.

"It's because of the engagement party with Martin that I asked you to come over!" Kaylie started to use

her persuasion skills and began to beg Tom.

Tom felt dizzy. In fact, he was not afraid of the Gablehausers. But he wanted to keep it low-key. If he

appeared as Kaylie's boyfriend tomorrow, he would definitely attract everyone's attention.

"You've thought it through. I'm the son-in-law of the Scotts. My reputation in the Scotts is very bad.

When it is revealed, it will be your shame." Tom hinted significantly.

Kaylie said without thinking, "Well, I don't care about that. Besides, you're divorced now. Tom, you

should help me anyway. Please. As long as you promise to help me, I owe you a big favor. No matter

what you ask, I'll satisfy you! Hear me clearly. I will do anything for you!"

She deliberately emphasized the word 'any', which made people full of endless fantasy.

Tom could imagine the way she said that.

After some hesitation, Tom sighed and said, "Well, this is the last time. I won't help you anymore.

Anyway, if you don't feel ashamed when my identity is revealed, I'm OK with it."

Kaylie cheered again and made a triumphant gesture. "Tom, thank you. You're so good to me."

Tom smiled unhappily and said, "Well, well. You don't have to flatter me anymore. That's it. Give me an

address and time. I'll be there tomorrow."

After Kaylie finished speaking, Tom hung up the phone and rubbed his temples to ease his headache.

Kaylie really was causing trouble for him.

He had just rejected Elliot's invitation and said that he would not attend the engagement banquet of the

Knights and the Gablehausers tomorrow. He didn't know what Elliot would think when he saw him

tomorrow.

But it didn't matter anymore. He wouldn't be keeping a low profile for long anyway.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of something. He wondered if Phoebe would attend the

engagement party tomorrow. Moreover, Phoebe was now the chairman of the SK Company, the

highest-ranking person in the SK Company. If Phoebe were to show up, what would she look like when

she saw that he was already Kaylie's boyfriend?

She might be very indifferent. She might even be disdainful.

After all, Phoebe had never loved him. If she didn't, how could she care?

Tom shook his head and laughed at himself. He stopped thinking and began to work.

Phoebe actually received an invitation from the Knights .

As Tom expected, her status was different now. Since she was the chairman of the SK Company, she

was more dignified now. Therefore, she was totally qualified to attend such an engagement party.

The next day, the engagement banquet of the Knights and the Knights was held as scheduled. The

venue was in the best five-star hotel in H City. Many luxury cars arrived one after another ahead of

schedule. Among these cars, there was some worth of millions of dollars, which caused a sensation on

the road. Many citizens were guessing which figure could invite so many big shots?

Kaylie was very nervous and excited today. She sent a lot of messages to Tom early in the morning to

tell him not to forget and to be there!

Tom was so annoyed by her that he turned it down and ignored her.

So did he come over?

Of course, he did. Since he had promised Kaylie, he would not break his promise.

However, because he left in a hurry, he didn't have time to prepare an expensive suit. He just wore an

ordinary suit and came over. Anyway, it was just an interlude.
