Chapter 210
Chapter 210
Tom's mother had passed away when he was very young. He remembered clearly that his mother had
died of a serious illness, and he still remembered how heartbroken he was at that time.
But now Samuel told him that his mother was not dead, and she was the real culprit that killed grandpa.
Was there anything more ridiculous than this in this world?
Even though Tom had experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and his heart was already as solid as a
rock, at this moment, he was still in a mess and lost his mind.
Both Owen and Samuel's words were beyond his expectations and his ability to accept.
Back then, he had seen his mother die with his own eyes. Before she died, he was still holding her
hands. Now that Samuel told him that the person who killed his grandfather was his mother, how could
he believe that? Besides, his mother had always respected his grandfather. They had no disputes at
all. Why did his mother do this? It didn't make sense!
Fake, it must be fake. It was just a lie made up by Owen and Samuel to protect the Howards.
When his emotions fluctuated greatly, his consciousness was in a mess, and he lost control. His hands,
which clutched Owen's neck, were tightening subconsciously. Owen was even more painful. His legs
pushed harder, but he gradually lost the strength to struggle. He was about to suffocate.
Samuel blurted, "Tom, let go of Owen Howard. He's going to be strangled to death by you!"
The voice woke Tom up. He let go of Owen with a gloomy expression.
Owen fell to the ground, and his back was drenched in a cold sweat. He panted heavily. He now looked
at Tom with dread and fear instead of the arrogance he used to have.
He really felt that he was going to die, just like seeing the god of death. He would suffocate in ten
seconds.
Silence. A long silence.
Tom lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his face kept changing.
For the Howards, this was the best time to sneak an attack on Tom, but no one dared to do so. All of
them had been conquered by Tom.
After a full minute, Tom said, "Can you proof that?"
He looked up at Samuel.
What kind of eyes was that?
Samuel could not describe it. In Tom's eyes, he seemed to see a beast, a galaxy, and destruction.
"Okay, I'll show you the proof."
Ten minutes later...
Tom saw evidence Samuel showed him.
He closed his eyes as if he had lost all his strength. Sitting in the chair, his face seemed to have lost its
color.
Silence.
It was as eerily quiet as death.
But not far away, there were still waves of noisy voices coming from outside, which seemed particularly
strange and frightening.
There were so many people in the hall, but no one dared to make a sound for fear of waking Tom up.
Two drops of tears flowed down the corner of Tom's eyes.
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and strode towards the door.
Everyone was frightened by his sudden action, but still, no one dared to speak. They could only follow
Tom with their eyes.
When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "From now on, I have nothing to do with the Howards.
Don't ever mess with me."
After saying this, he walked out of the door and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an
eye.
About ten seconds after he left, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. They suddenly relaxed
and gasped for air.
The pressure Tom had put on them just now was so great that they could not breathe as if a mountain
had been pressing on them all the time!
After a while, an elder of the Howards said, "Did Tom really let us off?"
The word "Let off" actually revealed that he was subconsciously afraid of Tom.
"Probably."
"Well, I didn't expect him to know the truth in the end."
"Yes, what happened tonight exceeded all of our expectations. Tom is really ruthless. We all
underestimate him."
"No matter what, he's gone now. I believe he won't break his promise."
"But our crisis hasn't been resolved yet."
"I just hope Tom won't find out Anna; otherwise, it would be another crisis for our family."
Owen had gotten his breath again. He looked in the direction of Tom's disappearance, and his eyes
flashed with bitterness. Tonight, he had completely lost to Tom. He couldn't accept the result.
...
"Mom, why did you do this? Why?"
"Fake, are they all fake? Is your kindness to me, your care for me, and your love for me fake?"
"Mom, where are you now? Where are you?"
After Tom came out of Wind Pavilion, it began to rain. The rain fell on him and soon soaked his clothes.
It was late autumn, and the temperature at night was only ten degrees celsius. Coupled with the rain, it
was even colder. Everyone on the way put on their coats or cotton-padded jackets, but he was still
wearing a shirt, which was cold for him.
But he didn't feel anything. No matter how cold the weather and rain were, his heart was even colder.
All the way out, he met a lot of people and attracted their attention. They pointed at him and thought
that he was crazy. Some of them thought that he was grandstanding. No normal people would wear
just a shirt on such a cold and rainy day.
Tom didn't care about what the others thought. He continued walking.
He was absent-minded. He had never been so flustered before and was completely disoriented.
Suddenly, a car appeared on his right. The light shone on him, and the people in the car were
astonished.
"Chairman, the one in front seems to be Mr. Howard?"
The secretary pointed at Tom, who was walking coldly in front of them, and said in surprise.
The chairman looked up and was stunned. Then she bit her lips and said, "Follow him and see where
he's going." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
The chairman was none other than Phoebe.
After she signed the contract with Willie, she should have rushed back to the company as soon as
possible, but she didn't. There was a voice inside asking her to stay and wait here.
She waited for a long time, but when she lost her patience and was about to leave, the person she was
waiting for appeared.
