Chapter 277
"So what if you are married? I can be your secret lover." Kaylie blushed and looked down at her toes.
Tom was dumbfounded by her words. "You, you, what did you say?!"
Kaylie was also shocked by her own words. Her face was burning red. She quickly shook her head and
said, "Nothing, nothing, it's just a joke."
Tom was overwhelmed and said angrily, "Do you think you're still a child? You are more than twenty
years old. Don't you know what to say and what not to say? If your parents hear you, they will be
pissed."
Kaylie didn't take it seriously and muttered in a low voice, "Like hell they would. They all want me to
throw myself into your arms as soon as possible."
She said this in a low voice. Just as Elsa and the others caught up, Tom did not hear her and asked
doubtfully, "What did you just say?"
Kaylie shook her head and said, "Nothing."
She didn't lie. Ever since the Knights found out that Tom was the chairman of ZQ Inc and the Young
Master of Master Chou that night, the whole of the Knights had been thinking that Kaylie should hook
up with Tom, even if they knew that Tom had married.
They just couldn't help it. Tom's status was too high. If the Knights could get acquainted with Tom, then
the Knights would be prosperous directly.
At this moment, Elsa and the others followed up and stopped a few meters away, not daring to move
forward. Their faces were full of fear, awe, excitement, and admiration.
In their eyes, Tom was a high and mighty God, someone that could only be looked up to. They wanted
to curry favor but did not dare to. They were afraid that Tom would be angry and get themselves into
trouble.
Kaylie waved at them and said, "Elsa, why are you standing there? Come here."
Only then did Elsa dare to come over. Even so, she was still very uneasy. She tiptoed and walked with
unprecedented caution, afraid that she would provoke Tom with one wrong move.
"Kaylie, I'm sorry about what happened just now. I didn't know your boyfriend was the chairman. I'm
really sorry. Can you forgive me?" Elsa said nervously. She stole a glance at Tom and immediately
retracted her gaze. She looked very timid and afraid.
The others were the same, making Tom quite helpless. Did he look that scary?
Kaylie waved her hand and said indifferently, "Look at you, so scared. Don't be so nervous. We're good
friends. It's not your fault today. You didn't mean it. The only hateful person is that guy Tristan. Now he
had already got his punishment."
Elsa relaxed a little. Immediately, she looked at Tom anxiously and said with great humility, "Chairman,
I didn't mean to offend you just now... I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."
Tom waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not that petty."
Then, Tom said to the few people who didn't dare to come over, "Relax. I can tell right from wrong.
What happened just now had nothing to do with you. I won't make things difficult for you."
Only then did they slowly relax and look at each other, then try to walk over and observe Tom closely.
Tom laughed in his heart when he saw how scared they were. Did he look that scary?
It was getting late at this point, and Tom showed a little impatience. They didn't dare to stay any longer,
so they all wisely found some excuses to leave.
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest too." The two of them were left alone, and Tom said to
Kaylie.
"It's only ten o'clock. It's still early. Why don't you come over to my house?" Kaylie blinked and said.
Tom shook his head and said, "I'll have to past that. I still have to go back and report to my wife."
Kaylie's eyes flashed with gloom. She bit her lips and said, "Are you afraid of your wife?"
"It's not fear but respect. Forget it, you've never been married before." Tom said.
Kaylie wanted to refute, but Tom didn't give her the chance. He stopped a taxi by the side of the road
and left. She was so angry that she stomped her feet hard. Then, she snapped her fingers. A few
bodyguards immediately came out of the street and picked her up.
When Tom returned home, Phoebe was already at home. When she got closer, Phoebe sniffed hard
and smelled the perfume coming from Tom. Her expression changed slightly.
As a woman, she was also very sensitive to the fragrance of women. Naturally, she could smell it. It
was a very expensive woman's perfume.
Tom secretly complained that it was not good. He was careless. Because he had made such a mistake
before, Tom was very nervous. Just as he wanted to explain, Phoebe said first, "Don't worry. I believe
you." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Tom was rendered speechless.
Since Phoebe had already said so, he would make himself look guilty if he still tried to explain.
It was strange that Phoebe knew that Tom was with another woman tonight, but there was not much
negative emotion in her heart. Instead, she felt a little inexplicable relief.
After a long time of reflection, she realized that it was because Tom was too outstanding. After knowing
Tom's identity, she had developed a sense of inferiority in her heart. She thought that she was just an
ordinary woman and did not have the fortune to occupy Tom. And she knew that a man as outstanding
as Tom would definitely be favored by many women. Which successful man only had one woman in his
life? This was unrealistic. Especially after she became the chairman of the SK Lighting, she had seen a
lot of big bosses and understood this even more.
So she had already been mentally prepared about Tom having other women. As long as Tom still had a
place in his heart for her, she would be satisfied.
Next, Tom spent most of his time on the new company and then increased his investment, planning to
make the company successful within three years.
On this day, the opening ceremony of the new company was grand. As the biggest boss, he was going
to cut the ribbon on the spot. There were many media and reporters, and all the major TV stations
broadcast it live. It was a very grand scene.
However, Tom was a very low-key person. He was not interested in such ceremonies. So he handed
the ribbon-cutting task to Elliot and Malcolm, and he quietly assumed the responsibility as the boss
behind.
After the establishment of the new company, it wasn't that a big deal to the ordinary people, but to the
people in the upper class, their reverence for chairman ZQ Inc deepened because everyone in the
circle knew that the real boss of this advertising company with a registered capital of two billion was the
chairman of ZQ Inc. Elliot and Malcolm were just shareholders.
In addition, Tom had recently done a lot of deterrent things in the public, so slowly in the circle, there
was a saying, "Rather provoke the king of hell than Mr. Howard."
Tom set aside two billion dollars to set up a new company. Not only did he have less money, but he had
more. His balance had already exceeded sixty billion dollars, and it was all cash flow! This was an
incredible thing. Even many bosses of the big companies in the country might not have so much cash
in their hands.
With Tom holding the money, he would naturally not be so stupid as to keep it in the bank. He would
want to continue to invest and expand his strength.
At the same time, in a mysterious place in H Country.
Somewhere in the depths of the forest, a village with about ten square kilometers was actually built,
and the village's equipment was extremely advanced. It looked very calm on the surface. In fact, there
were many high-tech weapons hidden inside. Whoever dared to break in without permission would
certainly be killed.
Halfway up the mountain in the village, there was a house made of bamboo and wood. Inside lived a
woman, elegant and noble, with a hint of sadness between her brows. Judging by her temperament,
she was already fifty years old, but her skin was well maintained. Besides some crow's feet at the
corner of her eyes, at first glance, anyone would think that she was a young woman in her thirties.
She lived in the house and was embroidering a picture of a young man.
If Tom was here, he could tell that this young man looked exactly like him four years ago!
