The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 320

Tom didn't want to lower himself to the same level as these three people who were born in the purple,

so he waved his hand to show that he forgave them.

Immediately, Hawthorne waved his hand to ask them to leave. Then he sat down, made tea for Tom

himself, making Tom even more uneasy. Tom said, "Thank you, Mr. Paynes. I'm sorry to trouble you to

make me tea. I'm overwhelmed!"

Tom had always been a very educated and polite person. From the beginning to the end, Hawthorne

was very kind to him and had a warm attitude. How could he let an old man in his eighties make tea for

him? He quickly stopped Hawthorne.

Hawthorne chuckled and stopped making tea for Tom. He liked Tom even more. He said, "Okay. Since

Mr. Howard says so, I won't make you uncomfortable. Come on, Myles, make tea for Mr. Howard."

Myles came over and began to make tea.

They were in the study of the Paynes, which was specially designed to entertain guests. It was very

large, covering dozens of square meters. The study was filled with all kinds of antiques, paintings, and

books. It was obvious that Hawthorne was a very thoughtful and educated person.

"This must be Master Chou, right? You are indeed an outstanding person. I'm sorry for neglecting you

just now, Master Chou." Hawthorne said with a smile.

Master Chou said, "Mr. Paynes, don't say that! You can call me Chou. I come with the young master.

You can just talk to the young master directly. You don't have to pay attention to me."

Hawthorne nodded, looked back at Tom and said, "Mr. Howard..."

Tom quickly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Paynes, please call me Tom."

"Okay. Tom, this is not the first time we've met. Do you remember?" Hawthorne said with a smile.

Tom's heart skipped a beat and he knew what Hawthorne was going to talk about, but he tried to

remain calm and politely took the tea that Myles handed him. He smiled and said, "Yes. When I was

very young, you came to the Howards and hugged me. I think you may forget about this, so I don't dare

to mention it. Haha."

Hawthorne's eyes flashed with a reminiscent look and said, "Yes, many years have passed in the blink

of an eye. At that time, your grandfather Anderson was still alive, and your grandfather and I were good

friends. Now things are different. Your grandfather passed away, and I have lost one of my good

friends."

When Tom heard this, he had a huge lump in his throat. He held back his sadness and said, "Mr.

Paynes, I think my grandpa would be very happy in heaven if he knew that you are still missing him!"

Hawthorne smiled and did not say anything. He looked deeply at Tom, then sighed and said guiltily,

"Tom, speaking of this, I have to apologize to you. After your grandfather passed away, I didn't take

care of you immediately. I hope you can forgive me, Tom."

Tom shook his head and said, "Don't say that. I don't hate you."

"Tom, you're a good person. It's hard for you to suffer so much these years." Hawthorne said, "You can

call me grandpa if you want. What do you think?"

When Tom heard this, he was really shocked. Hawthorne was a very important person in G State. He

was the chairman of SY Group, and the former president of the G State chamber of commerce. He had

a lot of connections and was very capable. Most importantly, even the leaders of H Country had to

respect Hawthorne!

Now Hawthorne took the initiative to draw Tom in and even let Tom call him grandpa! If this news got

out, it would cause quite a stir.

Tom was very clear about his capability. Although he was the chairman of the ZQ Media and had tens

of billions dollars in his hands, he was no match for a big shot like Hawthorne in terms of social status

and power.

To put it bluntly, he dared to offend the North Sky Association, but he did not dare to offend Hawthorne

because Hawthorne was not a pure businessman. His social status and connections could not be

obtained overnight.

In the simplest way, Hawthorne's social circle was not confined to the business. Hawthorne's friends Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

were all big shots in H Country.

So for a while, Tom was very shocked. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Mr.

Paynes, I have a grudge with the North Sky Association now. Aren't you afraid to offend the North Sky

Association if you do this?"

Tom said this as a confession and as a test.

Hawthorne burst into laughter, "North Sky Association is no big deal. You're the person I want to

protect, so North Sky Association dare not do anything to you."

His words were full of arrogance and confidence and he did not take North Sky Association seriously.

Tom could tell that Hawthorne was not bragging. He was really confident.

However, this made Tom more confused. He and Hawthorne were neither relatives nor friends. Strictly

speaking, this was the first time they had met. Why did Hawthorne try to draw him in like this? That

didn't make sense.

Was it really because of the his friendship with grandpa, Anderson?

Soon, Tom got rid of this idea, feeling it was impossible. Grandpa passed away for almost five years. If

Hawthorne and grandpa were really good friends, how could it take him so long to come to Tom?

It was obvious that Hawthorne was interested in Tom's value.

What value did Hawthorne value in him so much?

Tom thought about it for a while, and figured it out. Hawthorne should be interested in his strength as a

master of the Innate Realm.

After all, although the Paynes was big, they only had a few masters of the Innate Realm! It was also

possible that there was no master of Innate Realm in the entire the Paynes!

However, since Hawthorne had already said so, Tom didn't hesitate and shouted directly, "Grandpa!"

"Good, good, good!" Hawthorne was very happy. He looked at Tom with even more appreciation and

eagerness and said, "I don't expect to have such an outstanding grandson before I die. I have no

regrets in my life!"

Hmm? What the hell? Grandson?

Tom's heart skipped a beat, and he had that bad feeling again. He asked, "Grandpa, why am I your

grandson? Are you mistaken?"

"No, I'm not." Hawthorne said with a smile, "I have a granddaughter who is in her twenties and is very

beautiful. However, she is cold and arrogant. I have always been worried about her marriage. Now that

I meet you, Tom, you are the best young man grandpa has ever seen. Thus, I'm going to introduce my

granddaughter to you, and we'll be even closer. What do you think?"

Damn it...

Tom shouted in his heart.
