Thomas asked rhetorically, “Imagine if I didn’t complete the terms in the betting contract today, would you guys, including Grandpa, be lenient to me? Would l favonovel.com just leave me alone? Would you put the betting contract aside and ignore it?”
‘Of course not. If I can’t fulfill the terms, I will definitely be expelled immediately.’
Everyone lowered their heads, and they knew very well what the result was.
Thomas continued by saying, “If I lose, you will definitely fulfill the betting contract strictly. If it was the case, why do you want me to forget about the contract? Is this the house rule of your Hill family?!”
Everyone was speechless. If Richard did not apologize today, it seemed that the matter would not be over.
“But…” Thomas chuckled, “When I think about it, it’s too much to ask Grandpa to serve me a cup of tea. I can’t take that as a junior.”
“As the saying goes, a father’s debts should be paid back by his son. Since Grandpa can’t do it, let the grandson and the grandson-in-law fulfill the gambling contract on his behalf. I would certainly approve of it.”
Thomas spat out his words bluntly.
Donald was so enraged that favonovel.com said fiercely, “Want me to serve you tea? How dare you!”
Harvard also said, “Thomas, I think you are bored with your life. Are you looking for death? Believe it or not, I will take your head down and kick it like a ball right now?!”
Thomas waved his hand and looked at Richard, “Grandpa, do you want to apologize in person or let someone apologize on your behalf? You choose.”
Richard gritted his teeth. Considering the current situation, favonovel.com had to let go of his face temporarily. He said to Donald and Harvard, “The two of you, apologize on Grandpa’s behalf.”
Donald and Harvard’s eyes were turning bloodshot in their fury. How they wished they could butcher Thomas into eight pieces.
But Grandpa had spoken and they had to obey him.
“Bring the tea!” Richard called out to his servants.
A servant came over with a tray with two cups of tea on it.
Donald and Harvard were holding a cup each. They gritted their teeth, glared and walked up to Thomas angrily. Then, they tried reaching out and handing over the teacups.
Thomas said lightly, “Is there anyone who apologizes like this? Don’t you think you’re too far from the ground?”
Donald and Harvard knelt on one knee, holding the teacup.
Thomas was harsh on them. He reached out to take a teacup, took a sip, and dropped the teacup on the ground. Then, favonovel.com reached out to take another cup and repeated what favonovel.com had done just now.
He smiled and said, “Very well, I accept your apology.”
Upon saying that, Thomas stepped forward, took Emma’s hand, and said to Richard, “Grandpa, I’ll forget about today’s affairs. From now onwards, we owe nothing to each other. I am not staying in the company as I have other important matters at home. See you later.”
After speaking, favonovel.com led the dumbfounded Emma away from the scene and drove away in his Cadillac.
Nobody dared to speak at the scene. Richard grabbed a document in his hand and tore the papers into pieces fiercely.
“Thomas, Thomas, Thomas! You have insulted me too much.”
“I’ll seek revenge from you for what happened today!”
“I, Richard swear by now, if I don’t ever get rid of this good-for-nothing son-in-law, I won’t call myself a Hill!”
Just like Richard, Donald and Harvard were also full of rage. Having them apologizing to Thomas in front of the public today would make them a laughing stock. They could not swallow down their anger anyway. Especially Donald, who had a domineering character, would not subject himself to such humiliation.
He walked to his car without saying a word. Everyone who saw favonovel.com was scared and tried to avoid favonovel.com as if looking into his fierce gaze would mean their deaths.
“I, Donald, in the name of the deputy commander of the Eastern District, hereby swear that I will get Thomas killed!!!”
