Chapter 397


    He had never felt so bad before!


    From the moment he saw Isabe, he had made up his mind to get Isabe and he had absolute


    confidence in himself.


    But unexpectedly, a man suddenly appeared snatched away the woman he liked. How cruel to him!


    He couldn''t stand it.


    He stared at Tom, wishing he could punch Tom to death.


    But he knew he couldn''t do that. First of all, they were at Wade''s birthday party. If he made a scene, he


    was embarrassing Wade, who was very powerful. If he offended Wade, he would be terribly punished


    and his entire family would be implicated, so he would never dare to do anything here.


    But that didn''t mean he would give in!


    He smiled again and said to Tom, "Mr. Howard, right? I''m Coen, the chairman of Sally Group is my


    father. I wonder what''s your job?"


    Tom could tell what Coen was thinking about immediately. But he was here to do something important


    today, and he didn''t want to waste time with him. Tom said directly to Isabe, "Isabe, I have


    something else to do. I can''t apany you. Have a nice time with your friends."


    He was about to take his hand out and leave.


    However, Coen thought he did that because he felt inferior. The corners of his mouth couldn''t help but


    rise and he felt proud.


    Seeing that he was about to leave, Isabe felt reluctant. She grabbed his arm and refused to let go of


    him. She said, "Where are you going? Let me go with you."


    Seeing Tom looking at her in surprise, Isabe blushed and exined, "Don''t misunderstand. My


    grandfather has asked me to get along with you."


    So that was the case...


    Tom smiled and said, "Then you don''t have to do that from now on. Your grandfather has already made


    a decision to draw a line with me."


    Isabe naturally knew about this, but she didn''t understand her grandpa''s decision. Was their the


    Paynes so afraid of May?


    "I haven''t thanked you for helping mest time." Isabe looked at Tom and said.


    "What happenedst time was idental, and I''m not helping you. Well, you''d better keep a distance


    from me, or it''s not good for you." Tom said seriously.


    The topic of their conversation changed so fast that no one else understood.


    Realizing Tom didn''t want to be close to her, Isabe became angry.'' I''m the campus belle and the miss


    of the Paynes. I took the initiative, but why do you keep estranged from me? Well, the more you want


    to distance yourself from me, the more I will get close to you.'' She thought.


    So Isabe took Tom''s arm again and said coquettishly, "Brother Tom, just be with me. I haven''t talked

    to you for a long time."


    Hiss...


    When Tom heard Isabe spoke to her in a coquettish way, he could not help but gasp. Was she still


    the Miss Payne he knew?


    And the other female ssmates were also quite shocked. If they hadn''t seen it with their own eyes,


    they would have thought that something wrong had happened to Isabe! How could she be so


    coquettish?


    Unbelievable.


    And Coen and the boys were even more envious, jealous, and angry.


    Tom thought for a while. Anyway, he had nowhere to go now. He might as well stay and eat with young


    students like Isabe, waiting for Wade and May.


    So he said, "Okay, then I''ll talk to you."


    When Isabe heard Tom''s promise, she was in a good mood and smiled brightly.


    After sitting down, Coen couldn''t wait to say, "Isabe, you haven''t told us what Tom does and what


    school did he graduate from?"


    Just as Isabe was about to speak, Tom said, "I''m an unemployed bum. I can''tpare to you rich


    children."


    Tom was right about that. He had already handed over the management rights of all his three


    Sure enough, when they heard that Tom was unemployed, they immediately showed disdain.


    Isabe was stunned. She did not expect Tom to answer like this, but she did not expose Tom. Instead,


    it was the disdain of Coen and others that made her feel particrly ufortable.


    Another boy said, "By the way, I think you''re not young anymore. I wonder which famous school you


    graduated from?"


    They were all top students in a finance university and felt proud of their school.


    Tom smiled again and said, "I didn''t go to college."


    "Hahaha... Really? Is there anyone who hasn''t gone to college in today''s society?"


    "Why, is it embarrassing not to go to college?" Tom narrowed his eyes and asked.


    The boy waved his hand and said, "It''s quite embarrassing for us, but it should be normal for you. After


    all, you are not a young student but still unemployed. Going to college is nothing you can imagine."


    The other boysughed at him as well, and their expressions were especially disdainful.


    Isabe''s face became even colder. She especially hated the way theyughed at Tom. They just relied


    on their families and enjoyed their life. They were no match for Tom at all!


    "Enough!" Isabe couldn''t help but stare at them, "Tom is not unemployed. He''s just joking. He''s the


    chairman of that powerful ZQ Media. In addition, there are two otherpanies, Tengyue Advertising


    and Shield Security Company. He''s much more powerful than your elders. How dare you brats mock


    him? Where did you get the courage?"


    Isabe was rarely so angry. She couldn''t bear to see their disdain anymore.


    They were stunned for a moment, then Coen burst outughing. "Isabe, are you kidding? Can he be


    the chairman of the ZQ Media? You''re treating us like a fool."


    "That''s right! He''s just a delivery guy with a cheap outfit. Haha."


    "Well, Isabe must have been deceived by this guy."


    None of them believed her words, but they allughed at him.


    Even the girls now agreed that Isabe had been fooled by Tom. As long as they were sane, they


    would not believe that Tom was the big boss. Wasn''t that a joke?


    A female ssmate pulled Isabe aside and said worriedly, "Isabe, what''s wrong with you? You


    were deceived by this guy."


    "Yes, Isabe, I think you should be careful. There are so many liars nowadays. They may cheat you,


    such a beautiful girl, out of money and sex."


    "It seems that Heath''s betrayal has affected you so much and now you were deceived. s..."


    Isabe said, "What are you talking about? What I just said is true. Tom is really the chairman of ZQ


    Media. He is very rich."


    When the girls saw Isabe''s confident look, they were even more worried that Isabe had been


    brainwashed.


    Isabe still wanted to exin, but when she saw Tom''s indifferent face, which showed that he didn''t


    seem to care at all about beingughed at. She was discouraged and didn''t want to help him exin.


    At this time, they were talking about Hans, the birthday boy tonight. A boy asked Coen, "Coen, I heard


    that you and Mr. Hall are good friends. Can you introduce us?"


    When the girls heard this, they immediately ignored Tom, who was a nobody.


    Coen said proudly, "Then you''re really asking the right person. Mr. Hall and I have been good friends


    for many years. As long as I introduce you to Mr. Hall, you can be close to him, but if you want to get


    along with Mr. Hall, it''s up to you."


    After hearing this, they were all excited.


    When Tom heard this, he had a strange expression on his face. Then he smiled at Coen and said,


    "Coen, since you and Wade are friends, I wonder if you can introduce me as well."
