The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 543

Tom looked at her indifferently and said, "My mission has been completed. Of course, I'll go home."

Melissa said quickly, "You're responsible for protecting my safety. I'm not out of danger yet. You can't

abandon me."

Thorn, Marlin and the others on the side saw Melissa's anxious look, which was completely different

from their understanding of Melissa's character. They all had ambiguous expressions on their faces,

thinking that there must be something between Tom and Melissa.

Tom said directly, "There will be agents to protect you next."

When Melissa saw that Tom was about to leave, she became even more flustered. She had never felt

this kind of emotion before. It was not that she was timid, but that in a foreign country, the bodyguards

around her were completely annihilated, and even Horton, who she had high hopes for, had lost

fighting capacity. Because of Tom's performance just now, she had a strong feeling of dependence on

Tom. After she heard that Tom was leaving, she was in a panic.

After all, she was just a vulnerable woman, and she still needed someone to take care of her.

"No!" Melissa shook her head hard, grabbed Tom's hand, and said, "I don't want other agents to protect

me. I just want you to protect me!"

What she said was so ambiguous that even Tom frowned.

Marlin said meaningfully from the side, "Tom, since Miss Melissa said so, why don't you take care of

Miss Melissa's safety? You can also comfort her."

After he finished speaking, Marlin even squeezed his eyes at Tom. The expression on his face was

very ambiguous. Thorn also said, "Yes, Tom, Melissa only trusts you. Why don't you take care of Miss

Melissa's safety? By the way, it can promote the relationship between our H Country and the European

Consortium."

As a man, how could Tom not understand what the two of them said? They just wanted him to take

advantage of the opportunity to be with Melissa, and it was best to trick Melissa into investing in H

Country.

Tom despised their dirty thoughts. He was Tom, a powerful man in the fourth stage of the Innate Realm.

How could he do such a dirty thing?

He refused without thinking. "I'm afraid I'm not the right person. My wife is still waiting for me at home."

Then he shook off Melissa and turned to leave. Melissa panicked again. In a hurry, she blurted out,

"Hey, if you are willing to protect me, I promise to invest in H Country, not less than 300 billion!"

When she said this, the whole audience was immediately stunned. Three hundred billion! If Melissa

invested in building a factory in H Country, how much investment would that bring to the local area and

how many jobs would that provide for the local people?

For a moment, Thorn and a few of the higher-ups opened their eyes wide and breathed much faster.

Tom was also a little surprised. Through this period of time, he knew that Melissa was not that kind of

impulsive woman. She was quite rational. How could she invest 300 billion dollars to build a factory just

for him?

Soon, Tom saw clearly from Melissa's eyes that she was fooling him. In fact, during this period of

investigation, Melissa had already seen the value of H Country. She was sure that as long as she

invested in H Country, she would definitely make a lot of money. Therefore, even if Tom didn't protect

her, she would still choose to invest.

Melissa's acting skills were very good. Even a master like Marlin had been deceived by her, but she still

could not deceive Tom.

Thorn said immediately, "Tom, since Miss Melissa has already said this, you should promise her. Once

Miss Melissa agrees to invest and build a factory in H Country, this is a great achievement!"

Other higher-ups also persuaded Tom one after another, afraid that Tom would refuse.

When Melissa saw this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile. "Man of H

Country, even if you are a 4s level superpower, you still have to be obediently used by me."

Tom sneered and said, "You have been deceived by her. She has already confirmed that she will invest

and build a factory in H Country. Even if I don't protect her, she won't change her mind."

Because they were speaking mandarin, Melissa didn't understand and looked at Tom eagerly.

Thorn and the others were immediately stunned. Just as they were about to speak, Tom said, "Okay,

that's it. There won't be any assassins coming to assassinate her next. Just send some agents to

protect her. I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from his spot in a flash, as if he were teleporting, into the

woods.

Melissa watched him leave, stomping her feet fiercely, very ashamed and angry.

...

Tom was in a good mood when he could finally go home.

Unknowingly, it had been half a month since he came out this time. This was the longest time he had

left Phoebe. His yearning for Phoebe was stronger than ever!

It was said that absence made the heart grow fonder. This was how he felt now. On the way, he was

anxious to return.

For the past half month, although he had been on the phone with Phoebe every night, he had not seen

her. It was always different.

Back in Dragon Bay, as soon as Tom came in, he saw a man and a woman in the living room. They

were chatting happily with Phoebe. When they saw Tom come in, they all looked over.

When Phoebe saw Tom, she was immediately surprised and could not hide her joy. She stood up and

said, "Tom, you're back!"

When Tom saw Phoebe, he smiled happily. After half a month, he really missed Phoebe. After

changing his shoes, he walked quickly to Phoebe, held Phoebe's hands, and said with a smile, "Yes,

I'm back."

When he got closer, he found that Phoebe's face was a little pale. She was not very energetic, looking

a little haggard and weak, which made his heart ache. He held her hands and said softly, "Didn't you

sleep well last night? You look so pale."

When Phoebe heard his words, her eyes flashed with panic. She lowered her head and quickly shook

her head, "No, I'm fine. I'm just a little hypoglycemic."

Tom felt distressed and was about to speak when the man and woman sitting on the sofa stood up. The

woman said, "Phoebe, this is your husband Tom, right? He's really a fine-looking man."

Phoebe nodded, and then said to Tom, "Tom, let me introduce you. This is Natalia, a classmate of mine

from an elementary school. She also lives in Dragon Bay. We just met a while ago. It's fate. This is her Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

husband, Kurn."

Tom nodded and greeted them one by one.

Natalia said, "Phoebe, since your husband is back, we won't disturb you. Don't forget what I told you

just now."

Phoebe nodded with a smile and said, "I see. Don't worry."

After they left, Tom asked curiously, "What did she just say? It's so mysterious."

Phoebe smiled and said, "Nothing. Natalia said she would hold a party and asked me to come over.

She said it was interesting."

"Really?" Tom frowned slightly. For some reason, he had a bad feeling when he heard this.
