Phoebe was irritated by Elizabeth's words. "Mom! What nonsense are you talking about? Tom and I
have always slept in separate beds. You know that. He had never touched me. Strictly speaking, he
and I are not husband and wife at all. He has no obligation to compensate us, okay?"
Elizabeth was speechless for a moment, but she was unwilling to be scolded. After a pause, she
continued, "You've been married to Tom for so long. Why haven't you slept with him yet? You're his Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
wife!"
Phoebe was enraged. "How can you say so? You taught me that! On the first night that we got married,
you kept telling me not to sleep with him. How can you say this to me now?"
"You..." Elizabeth was again at a loss for words.
James walked up and said, "Phoebe, what's going on with Tom? Isn't he a poor child from the
countryside? How did he get so rich after he divorced you?"
Phoebe didn't know how to answer this question, and her mind was in turmoil. She said, "He said that
he has a good relationship with the chairman of the ZQ Media. He asked the chairman of ZQ for the
one hundred-million investigations in the SK Lighting."
"Is that true?"
Elizabeth and James were both surprised. They knew that ZQ Media was a big company with a market
value of billions, but they didn't expect Tom to have such a friend.
Only Phoebe felt even more uneasy when she recalled the night that she took off the mask of the
chairman of ZQ and revealed Tom's face! And what Tom said to her, telling her that he was actually the
chairman of ZQ...
In the past, she had never believed this sentence, but now, her faith was shaken.
...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a mysterious gym, there was a young man with a naked upper body. In front of him were three big
sandbags, each weighing several hundred kilograms. However, he beat them up so hard that they
wobbled, and the steel ropes creaked.
If a professional boxer saw this, he would be shocked and doubtful about this. How could there be such
a strong man in this world? Even a heavyweight boxing champion might not have this kind of strength.
Moreover, he punched very fast. He punched three sandbags at a time, and each sandbag swayed like
a swing. It was astonishing.
In the end, he punched three times in a row and blew up all three sandbags, and the sand seeped out.
There was applause.
"Second Young Master, your kungfu is even better."
A man clapped his hands and walked over. It was Master Chou, the king of the underworld in H City.
The topless young man was Tom. He had been staying at Master Chou's place for the past two days,
training in seclusion.
Tom took the functional drink and finished it in a few seconds. He smiled and asked, "How about we
fight and learn from each other?"
Master Chou smiled bitterly and said, "No need for that. I'm no match for you, Second Young Master."
Tom smiled and didn't reply. He wiped sweat, stopped training, and walked to the balcony with Master
Chou. Standing in the wind, he said, "This time, I went back to the Howards and defeated Owen. I have
avenged myself."
"Yes, I heard about it." Master Chou nodded, his voice full of admiration and respect for Tom. When he
knew about this, he was amazed! He was clear about how powerful the Howards was. It was no
exaggeration to say that although he was now the king of the underworld in H City, he was really a
nobody compared to the Howards. Owen was especially difficult to deal with.
But now, Tom went there alone and trampled on the Howards with his own strength, and he also taught
the whole of the Howards a lesson. In fact, Chou didn't believe the news when he heard it.
When Tom said this, he paused and looked into the distance. His eyes were deep as if there were
endless vicissitudes and secrets.
After a while, he said, "Chou, do you know about my mother?"
Master Chou was surprised, obviously not expecting Tom's question.
"She was a kind and generous person. She was gentle to everyone, like a spring breeze. She is the
most motherly woman I have ever seen." Master Chou said seriously.
Tom said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of her. You even said the word motherly."
Master Chou sighed, "Unfortunately, good people don't live long. Madam died at a young age."
He said this with regret and reminiscence. Everyone would believe that he said it sincerely when they
saw him like this, but Tom did not.
"Chou, you're so good at acting that you almost fooled me." Tom said with a smile and gave him a
thumbs-up.
When Chou heard this, his pupils shrank visibly, and astonishment flashed through his eyes. "Second
Young Master?"
Tom stared straight into Master Chou's eyes, and the smile on his face gradually became cold. Finally,
his expression became serious, and he said, "Tell me, who is she? Why did she do this?"
Master Chou's breathing hastened uncontrollably under Tom's gaze, and his expression seemed a little
bit unnatural. He was the king of the underworld. His name scared a lot of people, but he was weak
when facing Tom.
Yes, he was weak. His aura was completely oppressed by Tom's.
However, Master Chou was still somebody, and he had a stronger mind than normal people. He quickly
returned to his natural state. He looked at Tom with clear eyes and asked doubtfully, "Second Young
Master, forgive me for being stupid. I don't understand what you mean."
Tom stared at Chou for almost ten seconds!
And Chou faced his gaze.
"Chou, you don't have to hide it from me. I know everything. She had made my grandpa a vegetable."
Tom said this expressionlessly as if it was someone else's story and had nothing to do with him.
However, Chou could still feel the anger and sadness in Tom's heart.
Chou was silent. After a while, he asked, "Second Young Master, how did you find out my identity?"
