Chapter 177
Kaylie's face turned a little pale. She really hated Martin. Why was he so annoying? He was about to
leave, and he still had to make things difficult for her.
Of course, she knew Tom's identity. He was the son-in-law of the Scotts. He was very' famous' in H
City. If her family members knew about this, they would definitely go crazy. Her father would not spare
her, so how could she not panic?
But now, under the circumstances, she clenched her teeth and could only pretend that she didn't care.
"Psycho, what's there to be guilty about? Tom is my boyfriend. He didn't kill or set the fire. But it is you.
Why don't you get out of here? You keep staying just to continue to lose face here?"
Kaylie's words made everyone in the Gablehausers look at her in an angrier and more hateful way.
Colton was not stupid. At this point, how could he not tell that his daughter was really feeling guilty?
This further proved that Tom's identity was problematic.
At this moment, his feelings became more complicated. He felt anger, regret, panic, bitterness, and
depression...
Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind. The more he knew, the more he shall try to not expose Tom's
identity!
So he stood up and tried to mediate a dispute, "Haha, Martin, I know that I did you wrongly this time.
I'm sorry. Uncle will introduce you to a suitable person later. Let's call it an end today and forget about
it. We shall leave now."
As he spoke, he gave members of the Knights a look, asking them to leave together and not to
continue to stay and lose face.
However, under the circumstances, how could Martin let them go now? He didn't even reveal Tom's
identity!
"Haha, no need to hurry. Uncle, I've always admired you for fear that you would be deceived! This Tom.
He's actually a famous person in our H City, and many people know him." Martin deliberately raised his
voice and his voice was heard by everyone.
When Colton heard this, he felt even more bitter. At the same time, he understood that he could not run
away today.
Because Martin was determined to take revenge. Even if he ran away now, when everyone knew about From NôvelDrama.Org.
that, the Knights would still lose face.
It was better to stay and minimize the damage by responding quickly and effectively according to the
current situation.
Now he was regretting holding the engagement party tonight more and more. If he had known, he
would have postponed the date. It would not have been too late for him to make the decision after
seeing Tom. Now, he had a wolf by the ears. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
He was praying now that Tom was not a criminal. Otherwise, his the Knights would really lose face!
"Haha, really?" Colton turned around and smiled at Martin again. Then, he said to Tom, "Young man,
when did you know Kaylie? Why didn't you come to visit me first?"
He shot Tom a warning glance, hoping that Tom would be sensible. No matter what Martin said, he
wished that Tom would not admit it. In this way, he could at least keep some reputation of the Knights !
How could Tom not know about this? He just smiled and said, "Uncle, I've known Kaylie for a while. I
just happened to be busy in the company these days and didn't have time to visit you. I'm really sorry.
Please forgive me."
"Running a company?" Colton felt better. Since Tom was running a company, it meant that Tom was a
boss. No matter Tom could make money or not, his identity could at least earn some respect for the
Knights . "I don't know what company you're running?"
As soon as Tom was about to speak, Martin burst out laughing and said, "Haha, Uncle, do you really
believe in him? You're so easily fooled by him? He runs a bullshit company. For years, he couldn't even
find a job. He has been living in the Scotts and doing nothing but housework. His reputation in H City is
already bad. He is like a rat on the street. When he comes to your place, his identity changes and he
becomes popular."
"What?" Colton frowned deeply. It took him a long time to relax a little but his emotion immediately
became worse. How useless was this man since he couldn't even find a job? Besides, his reputation in
H City was already bad, and this was enough to make him feel hopeless.
"Kaylie, who is this friend of yours? Have you been deceived by him?"
It had to be said that Colton's reaction was quick. He immediately changed and called Tom a friend of
Kaylie, not a boyfriend.
Kaylie bit her lips and lowered her head, not daring to look into Colton's eyes, because Tom's identity
was indeed a little difficult to say.
It wasn't that she disliked Tom, but that she didn't dare to face Colton in such an environment.
When Martin saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter. His originally bad mood was now
much better, and there was abnormal pleasure and recklessness.
He was looking forward to how Colton would react when The Knights found out about Tom's identity. By
then, the Knights 's reputation would be ruined! Even Kaylie would become worthless.
To him, this was revenge.
Seeing that his daughter was silent, Colton knew what was going on. He glared at Tom fiercely and his
face turned cold. He said rudely, "Who the hell are you? Why are you approaching my daughter?"
Tom sighed. He was really helpless. Why was it that wherever he went, he would always get into
trouble and there would always be some people jump out and oppose him?
Was he destined to be so restless in his life?
"Uncle, is it important who I am?" Tom said.
Under the current situation, Colton could not understand Tom's words at all. In his opinion, Tom was
showing guilty and was arguing!
Suddenly, his heart became angrier and his mood worsened.
"It seems that you really have a disgraceful identity. When you get back, you have to explain clearly
why you want to approach my daughter!" Colton began to distance himself from Tom.
At this moment, Kaylie, who had been lowering her head, suddenly looked up and said, "Dad, you don't
have to be so fierce. Tom is right. Is it important who he is? I like him, and he will take good care of me.
Isn't that enough? Do we have to be matched for marriage in identity? Does he have to be a rich man
so that we can pursue true love?"
Then, she said to Martin, "Martin, I know what you want to do. You just want to revenge and you just
want to see me losing face. You don't have to keep playing tricks. I'll say it out now. Yes, Tom's identity
is indeed relatively sensitive. He used to be the live-in son-in-law of the Scotts, and his reputation in H
City is not good, but so what? I like him!"
As soon as she said this, there was a storm in the room. Her words made Colton's brain go blank.
The live-in son-in-law of the Scotts...
He suddenly remembered why he felt familiar when he first heard the name!
For a moment, he was in a terrible mood. He felt extremely uncomfortable as if his heart was screwed
down.
