The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 201

Tom really came.

When Wes saw Tom, his pupils shrank and he became even more nervous.

There were so many people of the Howards in the hall. The moment they saw Tom, they narrowed their

eyes and looked completely different from Wes. They were secretly happy as they succeeded in their

scheme.

Samuel looked at Tom with admiration. After all, Tom dared to attend the clan meeting alone. Such

boldness was lacking in ordinary people.

Although he admired Tom, he didn't show it.

Owen looked at Tom. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, as if a viper saw its prey. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone's eyes were on Tom. At this moment, He felt unprecedented pressure. However, he digested

the pressure completely in an instant. He smiled and walked into the hall.

When everyone looked at him, he also looked back at them all, seeing everyone's expressions.

It was a "banquet of conspiracy".

Those three words immediately appeared in his mind.

In fact, he had already guessed this before he came. Four years ago, the Howards was so cruel that

they chased him out. From then on, he had a clear understanding of the so-called family relationship,

and from that time on, he had given up his love for the Howards.

Now, more than 200 people in the Howards were not relatives to him, but enemies!

Even though he knew it was a banquet of conspiracy today, he still came. There was no other reason,

but he had absolute confidence in himself.

When Samuel saw Tom come in, he immediately showed a big smile. He was very warm and kind. He

stood up from his chair and strode towards Tom, "Oh, Tom, finally you're here. Everyone is waiting for

you."

Tom also smiled brightly and quickened his pace. He walked towards Samuel and said with a smile,

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I was stuck in a traffic jam, so I'm late."

At this moment, Samuel had already walked up to Tom, shook Tom's hand hard, and patted Tom on the

shoulder. His eyes were full of admiration. Those who didn't know the situation would think that Samuel

and Tom were on good terms.

"It's okay. We're happy that now you're here." Samuel showed enough respect to Tom. He took Tom's

hand, sat down in the seat next to him, which used to be Michael's seat. In other words, Tom sat on

Samuel's left and Owen sat on Samuel's right. Michael, Samuel's biological son, sat on Tom's left.

When people of the Howards saw this scene, they also showed warm smile to Tom and greeted him

warmly. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Outsiders would think that it was a very good and

harmonious family. Who would have thought that these were all fake?

They were pretentious, and so was Tom. He always had a smile on his face and he greeted these

people warmly.

After some small talk, Samuel gently raised his hand and then put it down to signal silence. Everyone

quieted down immediately. Then, he said to Tom, "Tom, you haven't attended the clan meeting for four

years. Everyone misses you very much."

Tom also said with a smile, "Yes, I haven't been back for four years. If grandpa hadn't come back to his

senses before he passed away and given me more than 50 billion dollars, I wouldn't have been back to

the Howards for the rest of my life."

As he said this, the atmosphere became awkward at once, and everyone's expressions changed

subtly.

Samuel's pupils constricted slightly, and immediately he showed a guilty expression. He sighed heavily

and said, "Alas! We were too impulsive. When we saw that the old man had been in persistent

vegetative state, we lost our heads and expelled you from the Howards without a thorough

investigation. It's our fault! Tom, uncle has been very guilty of you these days. I haven't slept well for

several nights. Alas..."

Samuel was very good at acting. His acting was as good as the best actor. The guilt and regret on his

face were so sincere that even Tom almost thought they were real.

"Uncle, your acting skills are getting better and better. I'm almost fooled by you, haha." Tom said with a

smile. Samuel's expression froze for a moment. He could not help but feel angry, but he suppressed his

anger immediately.

"Tom, I know you won't forgive us so easily, but it doesn't matter. Now that you're back at the Howards,

you'll know what I'm thinking one day." Samuel said.

Tom chuckled and shrugged indifferently without saying a word.

The atmosphere was suddenly awkward, and no one spoke for a moment. Then Samuel broke the

silence and said, "Since Tom is here, the clan meeting will officially begin."

In fact, the main purpose of the Howards's clan meeting was to report their gains over the past year,

what they had done, and then give advice to the family. In short, the main idea was to discuss how to

make the family better.

Of course, because of Tom's participation this year, the nature of the clan meeting was a little different.

They received Samuel's instructions in advance and began to report the difficulties in their positions. In

short, As the whole family suddenly lost more than 50 billion dollars, each unit of the Howards was

running out of cash.

This was the truth. No matter how powerful the Howards was, it would still be a great loss to it if more

than 50 billion dollars was siphoned off in one day. It was just that the damage was not as serious as

they said and they had to thank Owen for this. Since he came back from abroad, he quickly stabilized

the Howards.

However, if the Howards wanted to regain its former glory and become better, they had to take more

than 50 billion dollars back from Tom.

So they exaggerated it and said that they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

When everyone finished speaking, a senior uncle said to Samuel, "Master, the situation of our the

Howards is not optimistic now. The funding gap is too big. We have to find a way to take the funds back

that have been siphoned off, so as to maintain the operation of the Howards."

After this uncle finished speaking, several senior elders also began to speak, and they deliberately

looked at Tom. They were alluding to Tom.

How could Tom not know it? In fact, before he came here, he had already expected this kind of thing. It

was just that he didn't expect that the people of the Howards to be so shameless that they put pressure

on him directly at the clan meeting.

After everyone finished speaking, Samuel also frowned. Then, he said to Tom, "Tom, you should have

a general idea of the situation of the Howards now. The old man siphoned off more than 50 billion

dollars and transferred it to your account, which brought a huge blow to the Howards!"

When Samuel saw Tom lowering his head to have tea, not saying a word and pretending not to hear,

his eyes flashed with anger. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to endure it and said, "Tom, you are the

Second Young Master of our the Howards. I'm not asking you to take out so much money at one time.

Why don't you take out half of the money and give the Howards a hand? Don't worry, I won't take your

money for nothing. I will write you an IOU and let everyone sign on it. The interest is calculated at the

highest annual interest rate of the bank and will be paid back to you within three years. Do you think it's

okay?"

At this moment, Tom finally looked up. He smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to

help the Howards, but that I have donated the money."

"What?!"
