He was not trying to put on air, but he was not a pushover. He could feel how the Knights treated him
just now, but he did not make things difficult for the Knights for the sake of Kaylie.
"Wait a minute!" Kaylie hurriedly stopped Tom.
"What else?" Tom asked.
Kaylie blushed a little as she was being stared at by Tom. She said softly, "You've done me a big favor.
You haven't even eaten yet. Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Colton immediately walked out and said enthusiastically, "Yes, Tom. Fortunately, we've got you to help
us to night. Stay and have dinner."
He spoke to Tom as if he were his future father-in-law, and the joy was written in his eyes. After all, the
man in front of him was the chairman of ZQ Media, the capital predator, Mr. Potter's follower. Besides,
he was so young and promising! If he really became the son-in-law of the Knights , then the Knights
would have a meteoric rise.
Tom could not see what Colton was thinking. He smiled disdainfully and said, "There's no need to stay
for dinner. I'm not hungry."
Colton said quickly, "Tom, it was my fault just now. Please don't take it to heart. I'm shortsighted, and I
failed to tell who you are. Please accept my apology. I'll drink three cups of wine to show my sincerity."
As he spoke, he ordered someone to pour him wine.
Tom chuckled, "There's no need to apologize. I came here tonight to help a friend."
"Well..." Colton held his glass in embarrassment, but he still drank it.
Without looking at him, Tom said to Kaylie, "Well, it's getting late. I have errands to run, so I won't stay.
Have a good rest."
Kaylie, who tried to persuade him to stay, was rejected. She had no choice but to give up. Seeing Tom
disappear from her sight, she was especially disappointed. She sat in a chair in a daze as if something Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
had been taken away.
There were only more than 30 the Knights members in the banquet hall, which could accommodate
thousands of people. It was especially spacious and the atmosphere was very strange. Many members
of the Knights was speechless, shocked by what happened just now.
Everyone's eyes fell on Kaylie, and Colton was no longer as dignified as before. He got a chair to sit
down next to Kaylie and asked with expectation, "Kaylie, when did you know Tom? Why didn't you tell
me before?" As long as you tell me that he's the chairman of ZQ Media, I won't arrange this marriage
for you."
Kaylie, who remained in silence, was lost in thought with her hands interlocked under her chin.
If Kaylie had ignored him like this before, Colton would have been angry. But now, he didn't dare, and
he flattered, "Kaylie, I know I misunderstood you and made you feel wronged. I'm sorry. When do you
think you should invite Tom to our house for dinner again?"
Colton voiced the minds all the Knights . It would be great if such a young man became their son-in-law
in the Knights .
"Didn't you all just stop me being with him? Why are you changing your mind now?" Kaylie said with a
sneer.
Makai immediately stood up and said, "Hey, we didn't know who he is. Kaylie, why didn't you tell us that
you have such a boyfriend."
The others also tried to persuade Kaylie, and their words was full of flattery.
Looking at the faces of these elders, Kaylie suddenly felt a little disgusted. She said in a strange tone,
"Think twice, guys. He is the son-in-law who married into and lived in the Scotts. Aren't you afraid that
he will bring shame on the Knights ?"
These words made them very embarrassed. Kaylie really didn't care about their feelings.
Colton coughed and said, "Yes, how did a man like him married into the Scotts?"
Others were also confused.
Kaylie shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
Laylani held Kaylie's hand and asked softly, "Kaylie, since he married into the Scotts, why is he with
you? Isn't he cheating on his wife?"
"He's divorced his wife."
Hearing this, Laylani and Colton looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. However,
immediately, Kaylie sighed again and said slowly, "One thing I lied to you is that Tom and I are not in a
relationship. We are just ordinary friends."
"What?!"
All the Knights members shouted out at the same time.
...
When Tom and the others came out of the hotel, they were immediately surrounded by many people
downstairs. Most of them were just guests, who didn't leave immediately. Instead, they waited
underneath the hotel. Even though it was snowing and freezing outside, they were still waiting there to
show their sincerity to Tom.
Thus, as soon as they saw Tom coming out, they all rushed up, regardless of their dignity as the boss.
They didn't care too much as long as they could make a connection with Tom.
This scene surprised many people on the street. They were talking about what kind of big shot this
was, wondering why there were so many bosses trying to flatter him.
Among these people, one of them stood on tiptoe and watched, whose face was full of curiosity. This
person was Logan. Beside him, there was a young and beautiful girl holding his hand intimately.
Logan was a little depressed these days, because he hadn't seen Tom for a few days. Now he had
accepted that Tom was his brother-in-law, and Logan admired him.
Ever since the day of vacation, Tom taught Acre a lesson at the school gate and Acre was too cowardly
to fight against him, Logan became famous in the circle. No one dared to offend him after knowing that
he had an awesome brother-in-law. Over the past few days, people kept flattering him every day.
Especially the night before yesterday when he went to sing, a group of people flattered him and
cottoned up to him by calling him "Logan". He felt great!
Not to mention anything else, the beautiful woman beside him threw herself at him because he had an
awesome brother-in-law. If it had been in the past, it would never happen to him. Therefore, he decided
to ride Tom's coattails in any case!
Over the past few days, however, his brother-in-law was no where to be found. He was depressed
when he got no answer after asking his parents and sister.
Now he was afraid that Tom would leave the Scotts, so he would be back to his original form by then.
To be honest, he was already somebody now. It was absolutely unacceptable for him to let him go back
to his old days.
"Logan, what does your brother-in-law do? He's so powerful. Can you introduce him to me?" asked the
beautiful woman beside Logan in a sweet tone. She held Logan's hand intimately, shaking him.
Logan immediately straightened his back and said proudly, "My brother-in-law is a big shot! He's the
chairman of the ZQ Media. Do you know him? That's his best friend. A while ago, he invested 100
million in our company, and all the shares went to my sister..."
The beauty's eyes widened in shock. She exclaimed, "Wow! A hundred million! Your brother-in-law is
too awesome!"
"Of course," Logan said with a proud smile.
She asked again, "Logan, where's him? I want to see him!"
"Well..." Logan was a little embarrassed and was about to get out of it, but at this moment, he suddenly
straightened his neck, his eyes shining. He shouted excitedly, "Tom! Tom!"
