Chapter 168
Chapter 168
Timothy was really scared. It took him a long time to be what he was today. He could earn two million
dollars a year. He had a comfortable life and drove a Range Rover Evoque. He was an absolute big
shot when he returned to the countryside. So many people would flatter him. He would never bear to
give up this kind of life or ruin his family!
He had no doubt that Malcolm had this ability. The current society was ruled by law. But if Malcolm
really wanted to do something to him to ensure that he would die completely, Malcolm would still stay
safe and sound. It was because Malcolm didn't have to do anything illegal to deal with him.
Not to mention the young man in front of him, who was greeted with due respect by Malcolm!
So he knelt very thoroughly, very simply, without hesitation!
At his age, dignity and face were nothing. The most important thing was to protect himself!
He knelt so fast that Tom felt a little speechless. This man was such a coward. He hadn't even done
anything yet.
After Timothy knelt down, a few other nouveau riches immediately surrendered. They were the same
kind of people as Timothy. They were all nouveau riche types. They made money quickly and had a
floating mentality, but they also cherished wealth the most. It would be better to let them die if they
were to lose everything! So they knelt down without hesitation after Timothy knelt down.
What? Was there gold under a man's knee?
They were about to lose all their money. Compared to this, their dignity was nothing!
There were already a lot of people around them now. Those nouveau riches knelt neatly in front of Tom
panicky. This was really attractive.
Fortunately, they were in a corner, and there was a pillar blocking them, so it did not cause much
uproar. But there was still a limited number of people being attracted and came here.
Tom was also quite helpless about this situation. He was indeed very angry just now. These nouveau
riches were short-sighted and wasted a lot of his time. But now that they had already knelt down to
apologize, he was too lazy to argue with them.
He waved his hand and said impatiently, "All right, get out of here."
When they received Tom's forgiveness, they were overjoyed. They hurriedly stood up and apologized
to Tom a few times before running away. They immediately got into the crowd, afraid that Tom would go
back on his word and trouble them again.
Malcolm also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tom was magnanimous enough as he did
not bother to deal with these little shrimps. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome for him to kill
these people.
At the same time, he had a better impression of Tom. Tom was a man worth following. Few big shots
were as magnanimous as Tom.
Tom was also enjoying leisure. It was still a while before the banquet really started. At this moment,
Kaylie was probably putting on makeup backstage, and he could use this time to browse through the
documents.
After seeing him sit down, Malcolm also sat down beside him. He sat very straight and had always
maintained a respectful attitude towards Tom.
This scene still looked quite strange. Malcolm was already an old man who could be Tom's father, but
now he was like a child in front of Tom.
Many people around them noticed this scene. When they looked at Tom, they were a little more curious
and surprised, and they asked around who Tom was.
Unfortunately, no one knew Tom.
There was nothing they could do. Tom was still very low-key in the upper class. Everyone knew that ZQ
Film & TV had a new Chairman, but very few people had actually seen the new Chairman. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
As the live-in son-in-law of the Scotts, Tom was relatively unknown in the upper class.
These were the reasons that no one else knew Tom's identity.
At this moment, a burst of applause suddenly came from the side, and then followed by a teasing
voice, "Tom, you were so powerful just now. You let a few nouveau riches kneel in front of you and beg
for mercy. Tsk, tsk. You must feel good to pretend to be powerful!"
The voice was very abrupt, and its tone was full of meanness and disdain, which immediately attracted
the attention of many people.
Tom had just opened the documents and was about to browse them when someone interrupted him
again. He frowned deeply. He looked up and was even more unhappy when he saw that man.
Tom saw a man who was in high spirits and dressed in famous brands all over his body. That man
walked up to Tom as he was surrounded by the crowd. He looked at Tom with a playful expression. He
looked like he was looking at a clown.
"Rory." Tom said faintly. Yes, the person standing in front of Tom now was Rory. He also came to
Kaylie's engagement party.
"So you still remember me." Rory pretended to be surprised. His acting was very pretentious and
pompous. He was obviously joking and teasing Tom.
When Malcolm saw Rory on the side, he frowned strangely. He knew Rory. Rory was the Young Master
of the TF Company, and his status was considered honorable. But his identity was not on the same
level as Tom's identity. Tom was the Chairman of the ZQ Inc, and his market value had already broken
through six billion dollars! Rory was just a macaroni, and even TF Company's market value had just
broken through two billion dollars.
But now as Malcolm saw Rory's attitude towards Tom, he found that it was hostile and contemptuous?
That's strange.
Could it be that Rory was looking for death?
Tom could tell what Rory was thinking at a glance. He didn't like Rory at all and he said directly, "Get
lost."
The words "Get lost" immediately made Rory's face darken!
One shall know that this was a public place, and there were all the big shots around. But Tom asked
him to get out of here directly. Tom didn't show him any respect at all.
Rory didn't know that Tom was the Chairman of ZQ Inc. So, how could he not be angry?
Before Rory could say anything, a young man next to him stood up and pointed at Tom's nose and
cursed, "Who the hell are you? How dare you let Rory get lost? I think you're fucking tired of living,
aren't you?"
Tom knew at first glance that this young man was Rory's lackey and this young man immediately
jumped out to execute Rory's order.
A few rich second generations around Rory were also looking at Tom fiercely, intending to put a lot of
pressure on Tom.
In their opinion, Tom was wearing a cheap suit which was crumpled. The value of it was less than two
thousand dollars, which meant that Tom was just a loser. Besides, Rory was the one who provoked
Tom first. So, Tom must not be a powerful man. So they didn't have any worries. If they offended a
powerless man, they just offended him. There was no big deal.
Tom's face immediately darkened. No matter how good-tempered a man was, that man couldn't stand
being provoked by others one after another, let alone him.
One shall remember that before Tom was expelled from the Howards and hibernated, he was also
young and aggressive.
Now, even a fiddling young man dared to humiliate him. If he didn't fight back, how could he be
qualified to be the Chairman of ZQ Inc and fight with Owen?
