Chapter 293
Master Chou suddenly felt a strong pressure, and his breathing was a little heavy. He knew that Tom
did not deliberately make things difficult for him, but he was in a panic. He now seriously suspected that
Tom could kill him with a random punch.
Tom did not mean to do that. It was his natural reaction when he mentioned Wade.
Master Chou hurriedly said, "Young master, the young madam and her family has been fine these
days. No one troubled them. It is rumored that Wade has also been in seclusion during this period of
time, trying to reach Innate Realm. There is no news of him."
Tom nodded and said, "That's good."
Next, Tom did not waste his time staying here. Now that he had reached Innate Realm, it was time to
go back to H City.
It had been almost half a month since he disappeared. He had to call Phoebe to report where he had
been and what he had done.
The phone quickly went through, and Phoebe's worried voice sounded. "Tom, where have you been for
the past half month? Why I can't get through to your number? Are you okay now? God, you don't know
how worried I am about you!"
Before he could say anything, Phoebe said a lot, her tone full of worry but excitement.
Sensing Phoebe's concern for him, Tom felt warm and moved. He said gently, "Silly, what would
happen to me? Didn't I tell you I have something to deal with? It will take half a month. As soon as I
finished it, I called you."
"But you didn't tell me you'd keep your phone off. You don't know how worried I have been! You bad
man!"
"I'm sorry. I forgot you would be worried. I'll go back now." Tom said guiltily. During this period of time, in
order to try his best to break the bottleneck and reach Innate Realm, he turned off his phone and
ignored Phoebe's feelings.
Phoebe gave Tom an address and asked her to come to her.
After hanging up the phone, Tom called Elliot and Malcolm again and asked how the business was
doing. Knowing both companies were doing fine, he was relieved.
After arranging everything, he left with Master Chou and rushed to H City.
Back in H City, Tom said goodbye to Master Chou and went straight to Phoebe.
It was said that a reunion after a brief parting was as sweet as a honeymoon. This was true. After being
separated for half a month, when Phoebe saw Tom, the longing and joy in her eyes were almost
flowing out. People around could feel them.
Tom was also very happy to see her. He went over to hold her hand and looked at her affectionately.
"Phoebe, I'm here."
Phoebe nodded hard, leaned her head against Tom's shoulder, and smiled happily.
They were at a dinner party where there were more than a dozen people of the same age. Some of
them were well-dressed, and some of them were dressed rather plainly. They were surprised to see
Phoebe, who had always been so cold and aloof, actually throwing herself into a man's arms. Some
men felt even more uncomfortable. Their eyes were filled with jealousy and hostility when they looked
at Tom.
Tom looked tall and slender. He was wearing sportswear, and didn't look like a rich man at all.
"Phoebe, who is this?" A woman asked.
Phoebe held Tom's hand and said with a smile, "His name is Tom. He's my husband."
"Really? Didn't you say he was a good-for-nothing..."
Phoebe immediately coughed, and an unkind look appeared on her face. "Summer, please give my
husband the respect he deserves."
Summer was a little embarrassed. She smiled dryly and did not say anything more.
Those men could not hide their jealousy and hostility towards Tom.
Some of them exchanged glances and reached a consensus that they should join forces and take turns
toasting Tom so as to get him drunk and embarrass him.
How could Tom not know what they were thinking? He smiled and did not expose them, but readily
accepted their challenge.
When Tom agreed without any vigilance, they all looked down on Tom in their hearts. They felt that Tom
was stupid, and they felt pleased with themselves.
However, they soon found something was wrong. No matter how much Tom drunk, he was fine. Those
alcoholic wines were like water to him. He was not drunk at all when the few of them were a little dizzy
from drinking. They couldn't help wondering if Tom had tampered with the glass. But they gave the
glass to him and they poured the wine. Everything was under their noses. How could Tom do that?
In the end, they were all scared by Tom and didn't dare to compete with him anymore. They looked at
Tom in fear.
It was only later that Tom realized that these people were all Phoebe's college classmates, and those
men used to be Phoebe's suitors.
"Brian seems to say he's coming. I don't know if he's here. I'll give him a call." Suddenly, a man said,
and when he said this, he deliberately glanced at Tom.
When others heard the name Brian, their eyes lit up, especially those girls. They were looking forward
to his coming.
"Really? Is Brian coming too?"
"Such a surprise. Why didn't anyone tell us in advance? I didn't even put on my most beautiful clothes."
"Brian is most popular boy in our class. I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he set up his Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
own company after graduation and made a fortune."
"Right. Brian is a successful man now. We can't call him by his name anymore. We have to call him big
boss."
Many people began to praise Brian.
Brian was a legendary figure in their class. He was handsome and from a rich family. He was the
Prince Charming in the hearts of many girls. Many of the girls present wanted to be Brian's girlfriend in
the past. But Brian only liked Phoebe then.
Now that they heard that Brian was coming over, they were all excited. They began to pay attention to
their clothes and appearances. Some people even fixed their makeup, wanting to show Brian their
most beautiful side.
When Phoebe heard this name, she immediately frowned, disgust and rejection flashing through her
eyes. She held Tom's hand under the table and said softly, "Why don't we leave now? I don't want to
see Brian."
Indeed, ever since that incident, she had hated Brian so much that she didn't even want to see him!
Tom knew what Phoebe was thinking. He patted Phoebe's hand gently and said with a smile, "It's okay.
This is your reunion. Don't let Brian ruin your mood."
