The Vengeful Son-in-law

As soon as this idea appeared, she immediately threw it out of her mind!

She was really bewitched. How could she have such a ridiculous idea? The chairman was a top figure in Pyramid, and she was just a woman from an ordinary family. How could she be worthy of him? She was only worthy of a trash like Tom.

Thinking of Tom, she was angry again. This guy had disappeared for a day! Knowing that today was her 'Sacrifice’ day, but he never showed up. He didn't even send a message of support to her, nor did he sign the divorce agreement.

Coincidentally, she walked out of ZQ Building and saw someone she didn't want to see. That was Tom. Her anger rose.

Now Tom was dressed in a decent suit and looked like a decent man. He was shivering in the wind. When he saw her coming out, he immediately came up to her and said with a smile, "Honey, you're here too."

As Tom spoke, he took off his suit jacket and put it on Phoebe.

Phoebe was very upset when she saw him. The happiness of successfully borrowing 20 million dollars also cooled down and she stared at Tom unhappily. "Where have you been all day!"

Now that she saw Tom's face, she was annoyed, and her tone was also very impatient. However, Tom would not be angry, and he had no dignity at all. Compared with the chairman of the ZQ Media, he was really too much worse!

"Uh..." Tom stammered, unable to explain why. Phoebe was even more annoyed and waved her hand, "Needless to say. I'm not interested to know. Where did you get this suit? Don't you have no suit?"

Phoebe grabbed the suit jacket on her body and asked doubtfully. She pinched it. The material was quite good and it felt very comfortable. She could tell at a glance that it was a high-end product. Tom's heart thumped. It was over. He came out too quickly and forgot to change.

Fortunately, his mind was fast and he said quickly, "Didn't you always say that I won't come out to look for a job, so I came here today to look for a job. I just found a job as a real estate agent. These are their clothes. They're new."

Phoebe snorted and was not interested in asking further. She had some nostalgia for Tom before, but just now, after meeting the chairman, she did not have any nostalgia for Tom at all.

In the past, Brian had pursued her for a few years, and she had never felt anything to Brian, nor had she ever thought of divorce. But now, after meeting the chairman, she found that she was moved and had feelings for that cold figure. For the first time, she had an idea that she didn't want to live with Tom.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Phoebe walked before Tom with a cold face and did not speak to him. Tom had no choice but to chase after her.

"By the way, Phoebe, have you already borrowed the twenty million?" Tom took the initiative to find a topic. As soon as he said it, he regretted it. Didn't he make trouble for nothing?

Sure enough, Phoebe's face turned cold for a second. She stared at Tom and wanted to scold him. But immediately, she saw Tom's regretful and anxious look. Tom was like a child who had done something wrong. It was pitiful. Her expression slowly softened and she said, "I borrowed it." "That's good.” Tom giggled.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Phoebe was furious again. What kind of man was he? In order to borrow money, his wife was going to sell her body, but he didn't feel ashamed and he could still laugh!

Phoebe wanted to slap him in the face, but when she thought that Tom was just useless and he didn't do anything wrong, and this was her original choice, she found that there was nothing she could blame Tom for?

So she endured it and said faintly, "Yes."

When they got home, they opened the door and found that the room was filled with the smell of smoke. Besides James and Elizabeth, Richard, Zack, Victor and other elders were all there. They were smoking and discussing things. When they saw Phoebe and Tom coming back, they were immediately stunned.

"Phoebe! Didn't you go with Mr. Cook? Why are you back so soon?" Elizabeth immediately asked in surprise.

Victor stood up. "Yes, Phoebe. What's going on with you? Aren't you going to stay with Mr. Cook for three days? Did you come back on your own?!"

When they saw Phoebe coming back, they were all very excited and unhappy. They had a preconceived belief that Phoebe must have failed to complete the task. She came back on her own and ruined the family affairs.

Zack also scolded, "Phoebe, what's wrong with you? We told you to finish the task and borrow the 20 million no matter what happened! Look at what you did! You are back in less than an hour! The family raised you, fed you, clothed you, and taught you. Now that the family is in trouble, is this how you repay the family? You don't care about the family as you only care about your own selfish desires, do you?"

Phoebe had come back enthusiastically, preparing to tell everyone that she had finished her task ahead of time and borrowed 20 million dollars. While as soon as she entered, these people scolded her crazily before she could speak.

This feeling, like a bucket of ice water, poured over her head and extinguished her enthusiasm.

Her expression was full of disappointment.

When Tom saw this, he frowned and stood up and said, "Do you have the nerve to say these words? The Scott Family is in today's economic crisis. Does it have anything to do with Phoebe? It's clearly because of your poor management and everyone is corrupt. If you earn a little money, you will spend more. You will buy a house, buy a car and buy luxury goods! This led to the break of the funding chain and the loss of cooperation with distributors. This is a vicious cycle! Instead, Phoebe had been working diligently to contribute herself to the Scott Family. The Scott Family has become what it is today and you are completely responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with Phoebe! If you really want someone to sacrifice for the family, it should be you! In the end, it's okay if you don't want to sacrifice. But how dare you blame Phoebe?!"

Tom was really angry. He said it in one breath, and the whole room was quiet. Everyone's eyes were on him. They were a little unable to react. How could Tom, who was good-for-nothing, have such a strong side?

Phoebe also looked at him in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Tom being a man.

Bang!

Richard slapped the coffee table with great strength. He knocked several cups on the table to the ground and they wer broken into pieces. "How dare you!"

Richard glared and pointed at Tom. "You useless piece of trash! Who gave you the guts to blame us? I didn't even settle the score with you on the 70th birthday last time! Are you lecturing the Scott Family now?!"

Richard shouted very loudly. He was full of authority, and the anger on his face made Phoebe scared.

Tom did not retreat this time. It was okay for him to be wronged in the Scott Family, but he could not see Phoebe being wronged. He knew better than anyone how hard Phoebe had been trying tonight. It was wrong for the elders of the Scott Family to accuse her without asking any questions! "I'm not wrong. The Scott Family's current situation has nothing to do with Phoebe! You have no right to blame her! Besides, each of you has several houses and you can raise money by selling them, but you all can't bear to do this! You would rather sacrifice Phoebe to fulfill yourself. You are all selfish ghosts!" Tom spoke loudly and did not flinch.

Phoebe was stunned. At this moment, she saw a familiar man from the appearance of Tom, the chairman of ZQ Media...

"What the hell!" Richard was even angrier. Not only he, but the others were also furious. They all stood up and wanted to teach Tom a lesson.

"Damn asshole. Kneel down!"

Zack, "Kneel down!"

Victor, "Kneel down!"

Everyone shouted at him in union and asked him to kneel down and admit his mistake, or else they would break his legs.
