Chapter 243
"It's really Tom!"
"What's going on? How can Tom hook up with a superstar? Isn't he a nobody?"
"Is this fake? We all know what kind of person Tom is. How can a superstar like him? Besides, Tom is a
live-in son-in-law of our the Scotts."
"It must be fake! It's that his figure looks similar to Tom's. It can't be Tom."
All of a sudden, the news stirred the blood of entire the Scotts. Many people took out their phones to
read the news and they saw the photos too.
In fact, many of them could tell that this was Tom as they were at least 90% alike. Even so, there were
still people who thought that the person in the news could not be Tom and he just looked like Tom,
especially the younger generation. They were all fans of Clarissa. In their minds, Clarissa was like a
fairy, and Tom was just a bastard. The difference between the two was the difference between an
immortal and an ant. How could they know each other, let alone fall in love?
No matter what, all of them looked at Phoebe.
Everyone gloated and laughed at her. Ever since Phoebe got promoted, although they didn't dare to
say anything, they secretly hated Phoebe even more. Now when they saw Phoebe embarrassed, they
were very happy. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Phoebe finally moved her eyes out of her phone. Now her mind was a little blank. For some reason,
she felt especially upset. She wanted to squeeze out a smile, but found it difficult.
"By the way, Phoebe, where's Tom? Why doesn't he come this time?"
"Yes, he used to be a fixture at family gatherings like this. After all, he could have a good meal. Why
doesn't he come today?"
"Isn't what's on the news true?"
Many of the Scotts members, who had always disliked Phoebe, took this opportunity to tease her.
Phoebe tried to keep herself calm and said faintly, "He's gone back to his hometown."
Elizabeth and James also saw the photos on the Internet. Now they were in a particularly bad mood.
Ever since they met Tom in Dragon Bay, their attitude towards him had changed. They knew that Tom
had been lucky and made a lot of money, so they wished Tom and Phoebe could remarry quickly. But
nothing happened, which made them anxious.
Now that they saw this news, they were even more anxious. This showed that Tom was really rich, and
even could hook up with a superstar!
"Phoebe, isn't the mysterious man on the news who had a date with Clarissa really Tom?" One of the
Scotts members asked.
Phoebe did not answer.
Elizabeth immediately stood up and said, "Of course it can't be our Tom. It's just another man who
looks like Tom. Tom and Phoebe love each other very much!"
When Phoebe heard this, her lips moved and she wanted to say something. Nonetheless, she didn't
say anything in the end and gave tacit consent to what Elizabeth said.
At this moment, a teasing voice sounded, "I think it's probably true. Now Tom is rich. He bought a big
villa in Dragon Bay not long ago. He paid for the house of more than 38 million dollars in one go."
Hearing this, everyone gasped!
He paid for the house of more than 38 million dollars in one go? He was too rich!
As members of the Scotts, they were considered to be born in the purple, but they never expected to
spend nearly $40 million in one go on the house.
Soon, someone came back to his senses and said, "This must be fake! Tom is unemployed. How can
he have so much money? Grace, you're joking again."
"Yes, if Tom could afford such an expensive house, I would be the richest person in the country."
"Right. Grace, you are really good at joking."
When they thought about it, they didn't believe it was true and thought it was a joke.
However, Grace walked out with a teasing expression on her face and said, "I'm not joking. This is the
truth. If you don't believe me, ask Phoebe."
Phoebe frowned and did not answer.
Elizabeth said, "That's right. Our Tom did buy a big villa in Dragon Bay. It's not expensive. It's only
389.99 million dollars."
This news was too shocking for the Scotts. It was like a poor guy they had known for a long time, who
suddenly said he became the richest man in the world. It was too ridiculous.
"Is this true or not? Is Tom rich?"
"It looks like it's true. Grace said it's true. Grace can't lie, can she?"
"Damn, it looks like Tom really makes a fortune. God is really unfair. Even such a good-for-nothing can
make a fortune. Why haven't we, the talented ones, made a fortune yet?"
Elizabeth felt especially happy when she saw how envious and jealous everyone was. Originally, with
her personality, she should have publicized it a long time ago. Unfortunately, Tom had divorced
Phoebe, and the big villa had nothing to do with them. Besides, Phoebe had warned her specifically not
to tell others about it, so she couldn't tell anyone, which made her very uncomfortable.
Now she finally had the chance to say it, and she felt relieved immediately.
However, Grace continued, "Tom must be rich. He can afford a big villa and have a date with a
superstar. I really envy you, Sister Phoebe. You married such a good husband. Tsk tsk. When you get
home later, remember to ask my brother-in-law for Clarissa's autograph. My brother-in-law and Clarissa
are on good terms, so he definitely can get her autograph, right?"
When she said this, the whole room became much quieter.
Since Tom had made a fortune, it was true that he had a date with Clarissa!
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Phoebe with a different expression.
Their eyes were full of schadenfreude and derision. Tom cheated on Phoebe.
Elizabeth was also stunned. She did not expect that Grace's purpose was this. She was fooled!
So she also became embarrassed.
When Grace saw Phoebe like this, she was even more ostentatious and pleased. She continued,
"Sister Phoebe, are you not willing to help me with this? For brother-in-law, it's just a simple task.
Brother-in-law has already had a date with Clarissa, so he must be on good terms with her, haha..."
Phoebe now knew that Grace said these out of vicious intent, intending to touch Phoebe on her most
sensitive spot.
She clenched her teeth, feeling extremely upset. There were even tears in her eyes.
