Chapter 98


    When Tom saw Rory''s expression, he probably knew what Rory was thinking. Keeping silent, he made


    the bed and then went to wash up.


    Rory looked in the direction where he left and asked, "Auntie, is he Phoebe''s husband?"


    Elizabeth said with embarrassment, "Yeah...Sort of."


    Feeling Elizabeth''s dissatisfaction with Tom, Rory felt even happier. After sitting down, he asked, "Did


    he argue with Phoebe? Why did hee to the living room to sleep?"


    Of course, he asked deliberately. Sure enough, he heard the disdainful answer of Elizabeth, "How dare


    he quarrel with Phoebe? Although he and Phoebe got married, his status in our family is still low. He is


    our servant. Phoebe won''t let him sleep in the bed with her."


    Rory could not hide the smile on his face. He deliberately looked surprised and said, "Oh? Why? Aren''t


    they intimate?"


    "Phoebe has never been intimate with him. To be honest, he''s just the man who married into our family,


    who our entire Scott Family doesn''t like." Elizabeth said. Then she thought of something, her eyes


    rolling. She smiled and said, "Rory, although Phoebe has been married for four years, Tom hasn''t even


    touched her hand, let alone slept with her. So, Phoebe is still..."


    "Mom!" Phoebe couldn''t help bute over and stop her, "You''d better stop mouthing off!"


    Elizabeth was suddenly unhappy and red at Phoebe, "Hey, how can you talk to me like this?"


    Rory immediately said, "Auntie, I''m the one who asked too much. Since Phoebe doesn''t like it, let''s not


    talk about it anymore."


    Then he said to the two bodyguards, "Well, you two go downstairs and wait for me."


    James said, "Rory, these two are your bodyguards, right? Just let them stay. There are ces for them


    to rest."


    "No." Rory shook his head and said in a dignified manner, "They''re just servants. They just do what


    servants should do."


    He waved his hand and sent the two bodyguards away. The series of movements were very natural,


    impressing people with his sense of dignity. His behavior immediately made Elizabeth and James more


    satisfied with him.


    Phoebe frowned slightly. She didn''t agree with Rory. Everyone was born equal. Rory was too self-


    important and pretentious by doing so.


    "Uncle, auntie, I returned home in a hurry this time. Without too much time to prepare gifts, I just


    brought you these little gifts. I hope you won''t dislike them." Rory said with a smile as he took out the


    presents and introduced, "Uncle, this is Longjing Tea that I specially asked people to buy from Hang


    City at a high price. I hope you will enjoy it. And this is the foreign wine I brought back from abroad..."


    What he brought were all expensive gifts. James said in surprise, "Oh, Rory, why did you bring such


    expensive gifts? I can''t ept them! Take them back, take them back!"


    James declined.


    Rory said with a smile, "Uncle, you are wee. I will be unhappy to be treated as a stranger. Besides,


    these are all worthless gifts. I''m even abashed to take them out. In terms of my closeness to Phoebe, I


    had to at least bring you top-grade Dahongpao tea and a bottle of Rémy Martin. However,ing in


    such a hurry, I couldn''t get anything ready. I should ask you not to be angry with me."


    What he said made themfortable and invisibly closed the distance between him and Phoebe.


    Tom was still washing up in the bathroom. When he heard these hypocritical words, he was particrly


    disdainful.


    However, when James heard these words, he could not conceal his smile. He said very happily, "Rory,


    I''m already happy that you cane to visit me. Next time youe here, don''t bring any gifts!"


    As he spoke, he pretended to reluctantly ept these gifts. Tea, tobo, and wine were all here. They


    were worth at least tens of thousands dors. Rory was such a good boy!


    Rory took out another gift bag, which was for Elizabeth, "Auntie, I know you like cosmetics. This time, I


    specially bought a few sets of Givenchy''s cosmetics for you abroad. I hope you like them."


    Elizabeth''s eyes lit up when she heard Givenchy. She was so happy that her mouth could hardly close.


    She was saying declining words, but she couldn''t wait to open the gift box. When she saw this pile of


    expensive cosmetics, she smiled so hard. She kept thanking and praising Rory. She blurted out her


    innermost thought, "Rory, you''re so nice. I really want you to be my son-inw!"


    When Rory heard this, he couldn''t hide his smile. He said hypocritically, "Auntie, stop joking. Huh, I''m


    not so lucky to marry Phoebe."


    Just then, Tom came out after washing up. He answered, "You really don''t have the luck."


    When Rory heard this, his facial expression immediately changed. Turning around, Elizabeth red at


    Tom and scolded, "Tom! Shut up! Who allows you to say here? Get back to your room!"


    Tom pretended not to hear Elizabeth and sat down next to Phoebe.


    James also red at Tom and said to Rory with a smile, "Rory, Tom is clumsy of speech. Don''t annoy


    yourself with him."


    "Huh, uncle, don''t worry. I''m generous. How can I be angry with him?"


    "That''s good, that''s good."


    Rory nced at Tom disdainfully. His eyes were sending a message, "Loser, how can youpete


    with me?"


    Tom smiled indifferently and did not take his provocation seriously.


    Next, Rory put on airs, saying a flow of words about some big shots he met abroad, the knowledge he


    learned, and the benefit he made by investing in bitcoins. Elizabeth and James''s eyes light up when


    they listened to Rory. They were even eager to kick Tom aside and hold Phoebe and Rory''s wedding


    on the spot.


    Tom didn''t feel any jealousy at all about Rory''s boasting.


    Phoebe was also cold at first, but Rory was too good at pretending. Soon, she was attracted by Rory''s


    eloquence.


    Rory was very proud of this. He showed much stronger contempt and disdain for Tom as if he had


    already won.


    To be honest, Phoebe still hoped that Tom could be morepetitive. Then, he would not be so easily


    outshone by Rory and would resist Rory''s abuse at least. But in the end, Tom was still the same Tom


    as before. He always disappointed her like this.

    Rory was a true business elite, a sessful person. Tom could notpete with him in any way.


    During the chat, Rory deliberately talked about some topics to embarrass Tom several times. In the


    end, Tom could not deal with them at all. The gap between the two was obvious, which really


    disappointed her!


    "Tom, how can I insist on spending the rest of my life with you if you keep being so ipetent?"


    Phoebe sighed deeply.


    Since they hadn''t prepared a meal at home, the whole family went out to eat at the restaurant at eleven


    o''clock.


    Elizabeth''s intention was not to take Tom with them. However, Phoebe insisted, so they had to agree.


    When they arrived at the five-star restaurant where they booked a private room, Rory acted like a


    master and made all kinds of arrangements, while Tom looked very ipetent inparison.


    At this moment, Rory suddenly said, "Uncle, I just remembered that you seem to like antiques very


    much. Some days earlier, I auctioned a piece of blue and white porcin of the early Ming Dynasty. I


    hope you will ept it."


    As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. One of his bodyguards came over with a gift box wrapped in an


    extremely exquisite package.


    A piece of blue and white porcin of the early Ming Dynasty? It was such a coincidence that Tom


    received one yesterday.


    Tom was stunned.
