The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 435

All their pride and fortitude collapsed at this moment. They knelt down in front of Hawthorne and begged him.

This reaction not only made Elliot and others look down on them, but also made other people in the Paynes despise them.

Such traitors who didn't have the backbone would be looked down upon everywhere.

Hawthorne kicked them away and said coldly, "It's useless for you to beg me for mercy. Wanna mercy? Beg Mr. Howard!"

Although they were despicable traitors, they were not stupid. They immediately understood what Hawthorne meant. They quickly knelt down to Tom and begged for mercy, "Mr. Howard, it was our fault just now. We failed to recognize a big shot as you and offended you. Please don't bother yourself arguing with the likes of us. Mr. Howard, please let us off this time!"

"Mr. Howard, you are a great man with a broad mind, so please spare us this time!"

They were no longer as proud and arrogant as they were just now, and they had no choice but to keep begging Tom. They were really afraid now. If they were expelled from the Paynes, they were no longer rich kids, which was equivalent to falling from heaven to earth. They had been used to a rich life and could not accept it at all.

Tom was not moved at all in the face of their pleading for mercy. Tom always hated traitors who worshiped and had blind faith in foreign things.

However, they were Hawthorne's grandsons and people from H Country, so it was not his turn to meddle in this matter. He waved and said, "Go away."

They didn't know Tom's attitude, so they begged for mercy a few more times, looking pitifully at Hawthorne.

Hawthorne sighed deeply. They were all young men in their late twenties. Why was Tom so outstanding and his two grandchildren so useless?

After only studying abroad for a few years, they had already forgotten where they were from, but worshiped and had blind faith in foreign things! Hawthornee was genuinely embarrassed. They really humiliated him.

However, he could tell that Tom did not intend to argue with them. He glared at them and scolded, "Say thank you to Mr. Howard quickly, then get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Mr. Howard!"

"Thank you, Mr. Howard. I wish you good health and prosperity!"

They thanked Tom quickly and left, laying themselves open to ridicule.

After what had happened, the Paynes was even more embarrassed. Even Hawthorne, who had been through a lot of trouble, could not help feeling awkward.

In the end, Myles broke the silence first and said, "Mr. Howard, it's our the Paynes' fault for what happened last time. We shouldn't have alienated you because of May's threats! Mr. Howard, you are a bigger person. Can you please forgive us this time? We'll give you 10 billion dollars to buy a 10-point stake in Shield Security Company as compensation, okay?"

Myles was putting himself on a lower position. He offered to use ten billion dollars to buy a 10-point stake in Shield Security Company, which was equivalent to giving the ten billion dollars to Tom for free!

After all, the Shield Security Company had just been established and was worth no more than 500 million dollars at most!

In an instant, the hearts of Elliot and others beat a lot faster, and they admired Tom even more.

However, Tom remained calm. Ten billion dollars was just a number to him. He didn't care at all.

Soon, he couldn't continue his words. Tom glared at him, and his whole body trembled. He said quickly, "I see. I'll show the guests to the door now."

Other members of the Paynes were stunned, including Isabella. She was completely shocked. Now Tom's figure was constantly magnified in her eyes...

It was twenty billion dollars. Even if she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she couldn't be indifferent to twenty billion dollars. This was twenty billion dollars. Many of the big domestic companies were worth less than 20 billion dollars!

As far as she knew, the total value of Tom's three companies were only about 10 billion dollars, but Tom was not interested in the twenty billion dollars he could easily get.

She asked confusedly, "Tom, why! Aren't you interested in the twenty billion dollars?!"

Others had the same questions, and they all looked at Tom.

Tom also stopped. He turned around, smiled thoughtfully and said, "A few days ago, I went to W City. In order to curry favor with me, Rufus directly acknowledged allegiance to me and gave me all his assets, worth more than 60 billion dollars. Do you think it's necessary for me to be interested in the 20 billion dollars you offer?"

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Especially Hawthorne and Myles, who both knew Rufus. They knew what Tom's words meant!

Elliot was so excited that his body trembled. His admiration for Tom was beyond measure.
