The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 540

Tom looked at her calmly.

Melissa's heart somehow beat a lot. She had known Tom for a week and met him every day. And she

didn't care about Tom at all before. She even disdained him. She thought that Tom was just an ordinary

agent. They were like a princess and a commoner.

But now, she had no such contempt at all. On the contrary, she was very nervous and panic in front of

Tom. Her original pride and dignity disappeared completely.

Tom's performance just now totally changed her view of him. It turned out that Tom was not an ordinary

agent, but a 4s level super master! Although she was just an ordinary person, she also knew what did

that meant. He was one of the people standing in the pyramid of life who had broken free from the

shackles of wealth. In other words, even her father had to try his best to develop relationships with

such a powerful man, and facing this kind of man, even her father would not dare to be arrogant.

The reason why she believed in Horton so much was that her father treated Horton respectfully. He

invited Horton to be her bodyguard to protect her with huge visible and invisible benefits in return.

Horton was only a 2s master, but the agent from the H Country in front of her was a 4s master who

could kill Horton in a second. So, Tom's status and influence were beyond her imagination.

Melissa had never seen such a strong man before. She would never forget the scene that Tom

controlled everything and looked down on all living things and his one thought could determine whether

one would live or die. The scene had been engraved in her mind.

As a girl born in a prestigious family, Melissa had seen all kinds of outstanding men, but she had never

seen anyone like Tom whose strength went beyond her imagination. Tom was comparable to a

superhero in a science fiction film!

And her growing environment made her worship the strong. Now Tom was the powerful master that she

admired crazily.

Tom's mind was acute. How could he not know what she was thinking? The corners of his mouth rose

slightly. He revealed a disdainful smile. Instead of answering her, he glanced at the corpses all over the

ground. Many of them were her bodyguards. "Do you regret it?"

Melissa was stunned. She was clever and quickly understood what Tom meant. Lights in her eyes

dimmed and she glanced at the bodyguards on the ground. "It's all my fault. I didn't listen to you."

Tom was furious when he heard this. He could care less about the death of these white bodyguards,

but he could not ignore the sacrifices of Van and Kyro! If it weren't for Melissa's stubbornness, the two

of them would not sacrifice at all! They were only in their early thirties, and they still had a great life to

enjoy. Their families would also be in long-term pain because of their sacrifice!

Melissa felt Tom's anger, and she became even more flustered. She was so scared that she took two

steps back and her heart thumped. "I don't want this to happen either!"

Tom took a deep breath and gave up the urge to beat her up. Then he turned around and stopped

looking at her. Now he was waiting for the Military Intelligence 3 to send someone over to deal with the

mess here.

Melissa was now particularly afraid as Tom had put too much pressure on her which was even greater

than the pressure she felt when facing her father.

She looked up and found that Tom did not intend to teach her a lesson. She breathed a sigh of relief,

gritted her teeth, and walked over again. She said weakly, "I was wrong. I was too willful and didn't

listen to your warning... I won't do this next time. Can you not be angry?"

"Don't be angry?" Tom's anger, which was finally suppressed, was provoked by her words. He turned

around abruptly and laughed in anger. "Melissa! I told you yesterday that assassins are targeting you.

You can't come to the scenic area and create opportunities for the assassins! In the end, not only did

you not listen to me, you even deliberately left me behind and brought your so-called powerful

bodyguards here!"

"I..." Melissa was so frightened by Tom's angry look that she lowered her head in fear.

Tom couldn't suppress his anger and continued to roar, "What? Am I wrong about you? You think the

whole world revolves around you because you have money, and because you have money, then the

assassins don't dare to touch you? Do you know that if it weren't for my country, I wouldn't care about

you at all! Now, two of my comrades are dead. They are only in their thirties. They won't have the

chance to enjoy their wonderful life. It's all because of your willfulness, your self-righteousness, and

your single-mindedness! Melissa, why should they pay for your willfulness and arrogance?!"

Melissa was stunned by Tom's roar, and then she became angry again. She glared at Tom and

retorted, "Why are you shouting at me so loudly! I didn't mean to! I don't know the assassins would

ambush me! Horton promised me that I would be safe. I didn't mean to have them killed. Besides, they

weren't my bodyguards, and I didn't pay them anything. They were the ones who were willing to protect

me. They're dead, but it's none of my business..."

Tom's expression became gloomy instantly when he heard what she said. "What did you say?!"

Melissa was frightened by Tom, but she still retorted, "I'm not wrong. They were willing to protect me,

and you can't change it even if you yell at me!"

Tom closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and made a cracking sound. If it weren't for Melissa's special

identity, Tom really wanted to teach Melissa a lesson.

After a while, Tom let out a long breath and became expressionless again. It was as if the person who

had just been furious was not him. The coldness in his eyes now scared Melissa.

"I'm sorry, I said something wrong. I didn't mean that..."

Tom interrupted her and said coldly, "Needless to say. You're right. We're not in an employment Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

relationship. You're not obligated to be responsible for their sacrifice. When my colleagues come they'll

arrange new bodyguards to protect you."

When Melissa heard this, she immediately panicked. For some reason, she felt especially

uncomfortable and disappointed. She went forward, grabbed Tom's hand, and said apologetically and

flusteredly, "I'm sorry. I was impulsive. I said something wrong. I didn't mean that. Please don't be

angry."

Tom shook off her hand and said coldly, "Miss Melissa, please behave yourself."
