Tom was washing clothes for the whole family when her mother-in-law, Elizabeth, suddenly threw a piece of clothes on his face and said arrogantly, "Tom, wash my clothes first"

Tom's mouth twitched. He couldn't stand Elizabeth any longer, so he said. "Mom, next time you ask me to do laundry, could you please put your clothes in the basket? Don't throw them on my face. I'm your son-in-law, not your servant."

It was really embarrassing for him to have a piece of clothes on top of his head.

Elizabeth slapped him on the head. Just wash it One more word, il stuff it in your mouth next time You are trash How dare you whine about it? Wash all of them, or you don't get to eat today!

To vent her anger, she even slapped Tom on his head again

Tom trembled with anger Elizabeth then said disdainfully "What's wrong with you! Do you want to go against me? Or hit me? Come, hit me here. Try it. I lare say you don't have the gut to do it Remember, you're nothing but trash

It possible. Tom really wanted to put everything behind and hit her. Overthe past few years, he had lived worse than an animal in the Scott Family. Every day, he had to work like a trojan but he was always underfed because he was married into the Scott Family

Though they had been married for four years, Tom didn't even get to touch his wife's hand once. He was more a servant than the son-in-law of the Scott Family

"If you are not trash, then what are you? Even if I ask you to beat me, you don't dare. Areal man would rather die than living such a life!" said Elizabeth viciously.

Torn lowered his head and clenched his fists so hard that his nails were about to get into his flesh, but he did not dare to say a word.

"Mom, how many times have I told you not to throw the clothes on Tom's face? He has dignity too

Hearing this Tom shuddered and looked up. He saw a gorgeous woman standing at the door with a slight frown.

That's his wife, Phoebe, a beautiful young lady.

He Saw indifference and disappointment in Phoebe's eyes

"Dignity? Are you joking? Ask him by yourself. Does he have dignity? Does he know what dignity is? Elizabeth sneered. "I wish he was a man with dignity. In that case, our Family won't be judged! But is he?!"

Phoebe looked at Tom expectantly and found that Tom was still indifferent. She was even more disappointed. It seemed that she had really misjudged him. Tom was just trash and was not worth any expectations.

"Mom, pack up and come downstairs.

Dad is still waiting for us." Phoebe said.

Elizabeth realised something and pulled Phoebe aside. She said in a low voice, "Phoebe, is there really no other way? I heard that man is an ugly, fat and old!"

Tom overheard this. He stopped washing clothes and pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation.

Phoebe closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed, "This is the only way to save the family."

Her mother said unhappily, "You're not the only girl in our family. Grace and Sophia are quite pretty! Why sacrifice you? Besides, you're married now. If others know it, you would become the center of gossips. Your reputation would be ruined as well."

Phoebe's eyes were filled with sadness and self-deprecation. "Maybe this is my fate. I am nobody in the family and no one would willingness." care about my

Her mother turned around and glared at Tom. "I shouldn't have let you marry this trash back then. If you married a powerful man, he wouldn't watch you be trap in such a situation and do nothing!" But Elizabeth had no way to change it as well. She sighed helplessly.

Phoebe also looked at Tom, who was working hard to wash the clothes and became even more disappointed. Finally, she sighed helplessly and shook her head, "He is not cut out for this. I never thought I could rely on him. Besides, grandpa hasn't decided yet. Maybe there's a chance..."

"Really?" Her mother's eyes lit up.

Phoebe smiled sadly. "Maybe."

They were a little far away, thinking that Tom could not hear what they were saying, but Tom could hear it clearly. He raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was in turmoil. It was hard for him to calm down! He wanted to tell Phoebe loudly that he was not trash. He was the second son of the Howard Family of H City. He was noble and powerful. However, he couldn't. He had his own difficulties!

Seeing Phoebe and Elizabeth go out, he gritted his teeth and tagged along.

When he came out downstairs, he found that Phoebe and Elizabeth had already gotten into his father-in-law's car and left, so he quickly started his electric bicycle.

Fortunately, it was the rush hour after work and there were many cars on the road, so he managed to catch up their car with his shabby electric bicycle.

Half an hour later, his father-in-law's car stopped and the three of them walked into the building together. Tom found that he had come to the Scott Group.

The Scott Family owned a clothing company worth tens of millions. In the first year of their marriage, Phoebe had brought him here twice. The second time, he accidentally offended Phoebe's cousin, and was forbidden to get into here.

"What took you so long? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

There were more than 20 people sitting in the private room, and one of the elders said unhappily.

"I'm sorry. It's because of the traffic jam. Sorry." Phoebe's father, James, bowed and apologized in a humble manner.

"Forget it. Sit down and discuss how to get through this crisis." The elder waved his hand and said.

Zack stood up and said, "Grandpa, Mr. Cook said that as long as our family sends a beautiful woman to hang out with him for three days, then he would agree to lend us 20 million dollars without interest and pay it off in three years. I think we should do as he says.

As long as we have the 20 million dollars, we will definitely be able to get through this difficult time."

His grandfather, Richard, nodded and said, "Grace, Sophia, Phoebe, the three of you are the only qualified girls in our family. Now the Scott Family is at stake. Which one of you is willing to sacrifice for the family?"

Grace was the first to stand up and say, "Grandpa, I'm engaged to Jordan. If the news get out, my marriage will be ruined. Besides, I just got my period yesterday... Grandpa, I really want to sacrifice for the family, but I can't..."

Immediately, Sophia stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'm afraid I can't either. I found out that I was pregnant a few days ago. If I go out with Mr. Cook, the child would be in danger. Grandpa, I also want to make a sacrifice for the family, but I can't either!"

They cried and swept tears, but when they looked at Phoebe, there was joy and pleasure in their eyes.

Ever since they were young, they had been jealous of Phoebe just because Phoebe was more beautiful and received higher education than them.

Every man they hooked up with first would fall in love with Phoebe without hesitation after seeing Phoebe.

They had thought that a gorgeous woman like Phoebe would eventually marry into a rich family and enjoy a lot of wealth. However, Phoebe was so stupid that she married the trash. This made them very happy.

Now, there was a huge financial crisis in the family, and the bank refused to lend money. The only person willing to lend money was that ugly and fat Mr. Cook. Phoebe, you were such a beauty and you should sacrifice yourself for the family.

Richard looked at Phoebe and said with narrowed eyes, "Phoebe, our family is in danger. Don't tell me you got your period or you are pregnant."

Elizabeth immediately came out and said, "Father! Phoebe is married. It will be her fourth anniversary in a few days. If Tom finds out about this, their marriage would be ruined!"

Zack immediately said disdainfully, "That trash? So what if he knew? He had sold himself to our family. Phoebe is so beautiful. It's a waste to marry her to that trash! If Mr. Cook likes her and Phoebe can be with Mr. Cook, she would live a much better life."

Then he said hypocritically, "I'm saying this for Phoebe. Do you think so?"

"Yes, I agree..."

"Zack is right. It's much better to with Mr. Cook than that trash Tom."

"This is also good for Phoebe. Kill two birds with one stone!"

They all echoed.

While Phoebe did not say a word. She was looking out the window and no one knew what she was thinking. Elizabeth pushed her and said, "Sweetheart, why are you in a daze? Say something. I'm worried that...."

Phoebe locked back at her grandfather, Richard, and said something that surprised everyone. "I am willing to go out with Mr. Cook... "

Elizabeth was shocked. She glared at her daughter, "Phoebe, you're crazy. What are you talking about?!"

Grandpa Richard was overjoyed, "Well, great! Phoebe, you are indeed my precious granddaughter. I'm glad that you can make the decision from a larger picture!"

Others were all excited. They didn't expect Phoebe to agree with it so quickly. It turned out that Phoebe was loyal to her marriage. She was also a gold digger who could do anything for money.

Phoebe continued, "Grandpa, listen to me. I can go out with Mr. Cook for three days but I have one condition."

"What is it? Tell me." Richard was impatient.

Phoebe took a deep breath and said, "I want to take ten percent of our family company's shares and transfer them to my parents' account. In addition, I want the family to give me two million dollars in cash and transfer it to Tom's account."

Hearing this, Richard frowned. The others were shocked. It was understandable to take 10% of the shares to James and Elizabeth, but what was the point of giving Tom two million dollars?

Tom was just a piece of trash. It was already terribly bad luck for Phoebe to marry him, but now she even gave money to him?

Just then, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open. A man strode in and said loudly, "I disagree!"

It was Tom.

His sudden appearance stunned everyone in the conference room. They all stared at him in widened eyes, including Phoebe. She did not expect him to show up here.

In fact, Tom had been waiting outside the door for a while. His ears were more sensitive and sharper than others. He could clearly hear what they were talking even though he's standing outside.

When he heard Phoebe's condition, he couldn't help rushing in directly.

He stared at Phoebe with red eyes. He had never thought that Phoebe would consider about him.

"Tom!?"

"How dare you? You are forbidden to come here? Get out, now!"

"How dare you? This is a family meeting of the Scotts. Who gave you the nerve to barge in, huh?!"

"What are you looking at? Get out of here quickly!"

Tom stood still in the face of many evil words. He walked towards Phoebe and said softly, "I'm sorry, Phoebe, I'm late."

Phoebe looked at Tom and couldn't help being dazed. She felt that Tom had changed.

Richard suddenly slammed the table and scolded, "Good for you, Tom. How dare you! Who allowed you to break in? Do you know where this is? Ah?!"

Tom turned around and said to Richard, "Grandpa, I know I shouldn't have come to this place, but you forced me to be here. Phoebe is my wife, and I don't want her to sell her body and soul for the so-called family interests!"

His words were forceful and powerful, and he exhibited the toughness that happened never before, which made many people impressed. Was this still the loser they knew?

Tom knew that it was dangerous for him to do this. Once the Howard Family found out about it, it would be a terrible disaster and there was no way back!

It was true that he was the second young master of the Howard Family, but he was expelled from the family five years ago. The Howard Family ordered him not to reveal his identity as the second young master, or he would be beaten to death!

In order to survive, he could only hide and act like a loser at all times, not daring to show any talent. Because he knew that once someone in the Howard Family knew that he was not a loser, what awaited him was death! And it would also implicate the entire Scott Family! He was not afraid of death, but he could not harm Phoebe's family.

For this reason, Tom had lived like a loser for four years, enduring hardships and trying his best to regain his strength. Then he would take back everything he had lost.

But now, in the face of Phoebe's crisis, he had to do this.

Zack, who was not far away, said disdainfully, "You don't agree? What right do you have to disagree? You're just a son-in-law. After four years of marriage, all the money you have spent is from the Scott Family. Without the Scott Family to support you, you would have starved to death! It's a shame for us men to be like you. If I were you, I I would have drowned in a bath of urine."

Tom straightened his back and said, "My right is that I can offer 20 million dollars to help the Scott Family get through this crisis!"

Hearing his words, everyone in the room couldn't help being stunned. Then, as if they had heard the funniest joke, they burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, did I hear it right? This loser actually said he could offer 20 million? Just him?"

"He is really an idiot. Does he know how much 20 million is? He cannot earn so much money even if there were nine of him spending a whole life earning it!"

"Phoebe is so beautiful. It's such a tragedy for her to have married such a fool."

Everyone was mocking Tom, and their words were unusually terrible.

Elizabeth couldn't help kicking Tom behind him. She cursed and told him not to embarrass himself and to go out quickly.

Phoebe, who was standing behind Tom, looked at his back. Phoebe was not touched by this, instead, she felt more disappointed and disgusted than ever!

Indeed Tom couldn't offer the 20 million. He could offer this amount of money easily when he was still the second young master of the Howard Family, as at that time 20 million dollars would be like 2000 dollars for him. But now, he really couldn't offer this sum of money and he could only delay the time.

"You don't have to laugh. Give me a week. I promise to give you 20 million!" When Tom said this, he couldn't hide his fear, which was discovered by Phoebe.

"Enough!" Phoebe said coldly.

Tom turned around and saw the disappointment and disgust in Phoebe's eyes. Phoebe's coldness towards him was so obvious.

"Phoebe, I..."

Phoebe interrupted him, "Tom, you really disappoint me. Go out. You don't need to worry about me."

Tom said anxiously, "Phoebe, listen to me. I can really provide 20 million!"

"Tom, for the past four years, no matter how incompetent you are, no matter how stupid you are, no matter how embarrassing you make me feel, I still don't hate you. Because you still have one advantage: you won't bluff. But now, you really disgust me. Seeing your face would make me feel disgusted!" Phoebe stared at Tom with disgust, indifference. disappointment, and

Tom wanted to say something, but he found that he was dumb.

Phoebe continued, "Please go. Before I go to meet Mr. Cook, I will ask the lawyer to draw up the divorce agreement. As long as you have signed it, I won't be cheating on you!"

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corners of her mouth.

When Tom heard this, he staggered back two steps. He felt that his heart had stopped beating, and he could hardly breathe due to this excruciating pain at his heart.

During the four years living with Phoebe, Tom unconsciously fell in love with her. He was used to Phoebe's existence every day. He could not imagine the day without Phoebe!

Everyone else in the room gloated at the scene and laughed at Tom.

"Please go. If you really don't want to ruin my last affection for you, please go. I don't want to see you ever!" Phoebe turned around, trying not to let her tears fall.

Tom was used to her existence, and how could she not? However, she was carrying too many burdens and couldn't choose freely.

Tom was stunned for a few seconds, then said blankly, "Ok". After that, he turned around and left without any emotion.

Tom could not feel his whole body, and he did not know how he managed to keep walking. Then the ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts. He instinctively answered the phone and put it near his ear. He immediately heard an old man's voice, "Excuse me, are you Tom?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Tom was confused.

Then, the other party shouted excitedly, "Thank god! Second Young Master, I finally found you!!!"

When Tom heard the word "Second Young Master," his body trembled. How long had it been since he heard anyone call him Second Young Master? Four years, four years!

"Are you, Butler Yang?" Tom asked uncertainly.

"Thank God! Second Young Master, I finally found you!" Butler Yang was extremely excited. He said in a voice choked with tears, which made Tom a little confused. Butler Yang had been loyal to the Howard Family for many years and had always been steady. Why was he so excited now?

"Butler Yang, don't call me Second Young Master. I'm just a stray dog now." Tom sighed and said self deprecatingly.

"Second Young Master! You are the Second Young Master of the Howard Family. You are honorable. How can you be a stray dog?"

"Second Young Master, come back. The Howard Family needs you now!"

"Butler Yang, even you have come to humiliate me now? Four years ago, I was expelled from the Howard Family. I was worse than a dog then. What does the Howard Family need me for? Do they need me to go back for my humiliation?" Tom clenched his fists. He would never forget the humiliation the Howard Family had given him back then!

In contrast, the grievances he had suffered in the Scott Family for the past four years were nothing.

Butler Yang said hurriedly, "Second Young Master, how dare I humiliate you? You are now the most powerful person in the Howard Family! Second Young Master, you should know that the Old Master had passed away last month. Before he died, he transferred all his inheritance to you!"

Tom jumped up abruptly. "What?! What did you say? Grandpa, he's... Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Wasn't grandpa in coma? How did he transfer the inheritance to me? Besides, aren't you all convinced that I was the grandpa?!"poi one who poisoned

He remembered how he was framed, beaten up, and ruthlessly kicked out of the Howard Family. He would never forget the humiliation for the rest of his life.

"Two months ago, Old Master suddenly woke up and told everyone that you didn't do it. He cleared your name. Second Young Master, come back. Before Old Master died, 70% of the family's funds were transferred to your name. Now the Howard Family needs you!"

Tom burst into tears. For so many years, he had been cursed worse than a pig and a dog. Now, finally, he was vindicated!

In the Howard Family, his only concern was his grandfather. Now that his grandfather was dead, he had nothing to do with the Howard Family. Four years ago, the Howard Family did him wrong. Now, why should he give a rat's *** about the Howard Family?

"Butler Yang, stop. I won't go back. As for grandpa, I'll go visit his grave later." Tom hung up the phone quickly, then he quickly took out his own exclusive VIP card. There was no money in it, but it was still a symbol of identity. All over the country, there were less than ten of these. For each card, the owner enjoyed the VIP channel and 24-hour manual service.

He made the call. "Quick, check the balance for me!"

"Okay, Mr. Howard, please wait a moment." A sweet voice came from the phone. After a while, it rang again. "Hello, Mr. Howard, you have too much money in your account. I don't have the right to get access to it. I'm afraid that you need to come to our bank yourself. I can pick you up, and if you get tired here, we can arrange your accommodation too."

Her sweet voice was quite flirting.

There was too much money and she didn't have the access right!

Tom was dumbfounded. He hung up the phone and laughed loudly. After being broke for so long, he could finally be rich again. Hahaha!

He laughed very loudly. Just then, Phoebe and Elizabeth came out of the building. When they saw him laughing, Elizabeth immediately went up and kicked him on the butt, shouting, "I should just kill you, you ungrateful dog! Tom, you're really a pig. Your wife is going to sleep with someone else, and how can you still laugh out loud?"

Tom was caught off guard and hit the telephone pole due to the kick. His nose was swollen. The pain made him burst into tears. He hurriedly explained, "Mom, you misunderstood. I'm not laughing at Phoebe..."

Just as he turned around, Elizabeth slapped him on the face again, accompanied by a rude scolding, "Shut up! We caught you on the spot, and you still want to deny it? Tom, you're a ruthless animal!"

Elizabeth wanted to hit Tom again, but Phoebe held her back. "Mom, forget it. Just let him laugh. We're getting divorced soon anyway."

Hearing this, Tom's body trembled and he wanted to explain. But when he saw the disappointment and disgust in Phoebe's eyes, he felt as if his heart was pricked with needles.

"Phoebe, I really didn't..."

Phoebe interrupted him and said coldly, "Enough, Tom, don't destroy the last shred of respect I have for you!"

After that, she left without giving Tom a chance to explain.

Elizabeth glared at him and got into the

car.

Tom was heartbroken. He had been married to Phoebe for years. In order to hide his identity and prevent the Howard Family from persecuting him further, he deliberately lived as a loser. It also made Phoebe suffer countless grievances and criticisms because of him. In the past, he had no choice. Now that he was rich, he must give Phoebe a happy life!

"Phoebe, wait for me. I won't let you down again." Tom clenched his fists and his eyes were incomparably firm!

Next, he would personally go to the bank to find out how much money was in the account.

He rushed to the bank in a hurry riding the shabby electric bike. It was shaky and was about to fall apart at any time. It ran out of power halfway and had to be pushed forward with his feet. It was especially funny while he was doing it and caused a lot of ridicule.

Tom didn't pay any attention. He wanted to find out how much money was in the account right away and then withdraw 20 million dollars to help Phoebe get through the difficult situation. He couldn't stand by and watch Phoebe be defiled no matter what!

"Oh, isn't this the famous loser in H City? Why? Is your luxurious electric motorcycle out of battery? Do you want me to lend you two dollars to charge it at a nearby convenience store?"

As soon as Tom stopped the electric motorcycle, he heard a strange voice coming from behind him. A man dressed in famous brands mocked him. Seeing this man, Tom was annoyed immediately, because this man was Phoebe's classmate named Brian, and his rival in love. For the past four years, Phoebe's bad attitude towards him had a lot to do with this man.

"Hey, Brian, is this the loser you mentioned before? He's really a piece of junk. A broken electric bike like that, I think it's only worth one or two thousand dollars at most. It costs me more money than that for a meal, haha."

"One or two thousand? You really give him too much credit before checking the clothes he's wearing. They add up to less than a hundred dollars. Does he look like someone who can afford an electric bike?"

"You don't understand, do you? It's because he can't afford to buy it himself that he is being called the loser. His wife bought this electric bike for him. Otherwise, he would have to walk. Hahaha..."

Brian and two other men in suits sneered at him. When one of them walked over, he kicked Tom's electric bike hard. Tom almost fell down. When they saw Tom make a fool of himself, they laughed smugly again.

Tom knew that the more attention he paid to them, the more excited Brian would be. He ignored Brian directly and strode towards the bank hall. He was now a billionaire, and there was no need to waste time with a small character like Brian.
