Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Malcolm was a smart person. Although he was big and tall, he had a very delicate mind. He could act
according to big shots' expressions. Now that he saw Phoebe, he had already figured out that the
chairman of ZQ was interested in Phoebe. No wonder he was asked to cooperate with him. These big
shots really have a particular taste.
Richard saw that Malcolm looked serious. The walnuts in his hand were spun faster and faster. He said
quickly, "Malcolm, this is a misunderstanding. Phoebe is no longer a member of our Scott Family, so
the money she owes has nothing to do with our Scott Family."
When Phoebe heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief. How could grandpa say such a thing? She had
paid so much for the Scott Family? Before she graduated from college, she started working in the
family's company. She had always been diligent. She never felt tired and had created a lot of value for
the family!
If she hadn't sacrificed herself for the family and borrowed 20 million dollars from the chairman of ZQ,
would the Scott Family be as successful as today?
Besides, she didn't transfer the ten million at all! It wasn't she who owed Malcolm money. Why did
grandpa treat her like this? Wasn't she one of the Scott Family members? Wasn't she grandpa's
granddaughter?
The other Scott Family members also disassociate themselves with Phoebe one after another, saying
that Phoebe had been married and had nothing to do with the Scott Family. The money she owed was
not obligated to be repaid by the Scott Family, and there were also some ruthless people who wanted
Phoebe to return 10 million dollars to the Scott Family, or they would call the police and send Phoebe
to jail.
Phoebe was expressionless, and her heart was as cold as the frost of June.
At this moment, a warm big hand held her and whispered in her ear, "Honey, you don't have to be sad.
Even if the whole world abandons you, I will be with you."
It was Tom. He looked at Phoebe seriously and spoke these words from the bottom of his heart.
Phoebe was moved. Although Tom was useless and caused her a lot of trouble, Tom was really good
to her.
But what was the use of being nice to her? She had no feelings for Tom at all. The person she liked
was the chairman of ZQ.
"Thank you." Phoebe said softly, sounding distant.
Malcolm said with a strange expression, "Richard, are you sure you want to sever your relationship
with the person who owes me a debt?"
Richard was immediately surprised and said hurriedly, "Malcolm, it's not that I want to break up with
Phoebe, but that she is indeed married. Technically speaking, she is no longer a member of the Scott
Family. So our Scott Family is not obligated to repay the money she owes you. Malcolm, you are a
righteous person. You shouldn't force others to do anything that is beyond their power, right?"
Malcolm was also angry. Richard was really too shameless and cold-blooded. In order to shirk
responsibility, he actually abandoned his biological granddaughter. It was really shameless.
"Well, since you said so, I will definitely do you a favor." Malcolm said with a fake smile and patted
Richard on the shoulder.
Richard was overjoyed and thanked Malcolm several times.
The other Scott Family members were also overjoyed.
James and Elizabeth were very anxious. They were so flustered and disoriented that they said
something to blame Phoebe. If Tom hadn't stopped them, James would have slapped Phoebe to vent
his anger.
Phoebe was expressionless as if she had lost her soul.
But what Malcolm said later made them all dumbfounded. "In that case, I would put it bluntly. Come up,
catch the bastard Zack, and I'll throw him into the sea to feed the sharks! He dares not to pay back my
money. He surely doesn't know how to write the word 'death'!"
What was going on?
Zack?
Did they hear it correctly? Wasn't Phoebe the one in debt? How did it become Zack?
Zack, who was in the crowd, had long wanted to slip away. Now that he heard Malcolm's words, he
immediately shrank his neck and felt numb. Without a word, he turned around and ran!
He couldn't be caught by Malcolm, or he would really be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Now that he owed Malcolm six and a half million, he couldn't pay back even he sold himself.
But how could he run away? Tom had been watching him. When he ran to his side, Tom suddenly
stretched out his foot and tripped Zack. He fell to the ground.
Malcolm finally saw Tom. He immediately became excited. Meeting Tom's eyesight, he understood
what Tom meant. He nodded gently and respectfully.
Immediately, two strong men behind Malcolm rushed over and roughly grabbed Zack. They slapped
Zack on the face and Zack's face was swollen. "You want to run after you owe the boss money?!"
This sudden change startled all the Scott Family members. They, especially Richard and Victor,
couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. They were stunned and could not figure it out.
Wasn't it Phoebe who was in debt? How did it become Zack?
Zack was picked up by two strong men like a chick and was knelt down in front of Malcolm.
"Zack, right? You have the guts. You owe me money, and you dare not answer my phone?" Malcolm
stared down at Zack and said coldly.
Zack was already frightened and kept begging for mercy. "Malcolm, it's all a misunderstanding! It's all a
misunderstanding! How dare I not answer your phone? My phone broke yesterday. It's broken!"
He sniffled and cried, looking very miserable, begging for mercy like a dog in front of Malcolm.
Malcolm looked at Tom and asked him what to do with it through eyesight. Soon, he knew Tom's signal
from his eyesight. He grabbed Zack's hair and raised his head. "I won't talk nonsense with you. You
owe me money and you have to pay me the remaining six and a half million today, and I'll let you go."
Zack's hair was about to be pulled apart from his scalp. "Malcolm, I, I... I don't have so much money
now. Can you give me a few days? I'll definitely get you six and a half million!"
"Do you think I'm a fool? You have to pay me back this money today! Otherwise, I'll throw you into the
sea and feed you to the sharks..." Malcolm changed his voice and said, "Isn't your Scott Family rich?
You can ask the Scott Family to pay you back. Oh! My poor memory. I forgot that you have been kicked
out of the Scott Family by Richard. After they severed the relationship between your grandfather and
grandson, they won't pay back the money for you. In this way, it seems that I can only throw you to the
sharks."
Then Zack was caught by two strong men very violently. No one doubted Malcolm's determination to
throw Zack to feed the shark.
Zack resisted desperately and turned around to call for help. "Grandpa, grandpa! Save me, grandpa, I
don't want to die! Woo woo..."
Richard was dumbfounded. His hands and feet were cold, his blood froze, and his heart ached.
Victor only had Zack as his son. He immediately rushed over, knelt in front of Malcolm, kowtowed, and
begged for mercy, "Malcolm, Malcolm, please let my son go. We will definitely return the money to
you."
Malcolm said with a fake smile, "Oh, didn't you just say that you were going to sever ties with Zack and
not take responsibility for his debts? Why now you're going back on your word? Or do you mean that
Phoebe is a piece of grass that you can just throw it away. Zack is a treasure who can't bear any
grievances?"
Victor and Richard both became silent. Even though they were thick-skinned, they were also
embarrassed.
Some of the Scott Family were also complaining, but they did not dare to say it as loudly as they had
just scolded Phoebe.
Richard stood up and said in a low voice, "Malcolm, we made a mistake just now. Zack is a member of
the Scott Family. I hope Malcolm will raise his hand in mercy and spare Zack's life. Our Scott Family
will definitely find a way to return Six and a half million dollars to you, Malcolm!"
Malcolm chuckled and said, "I'm sorry. I hate those who value women than men most in my life. I can
forgive 6.5 million debt, but for Zack, I must throw him to feed the shark!"
Richard's face changed drastically and he was a little angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Malcolm,
you know you're so powerful that we can't afford to offend you. But don't make us angry! Rabbits jump
walls when they are desperate. If you force us, we'll call the police and expose your shameless things!
Everyone will be a loser then!"
As if he had heard the funniest joke, Malcolm burst into laughter. "Call the police? Do you want to pay
your whole life to fight with me? Hahaha, you're really funny. Then go and call the police. If you dare
not call the police, then you are a coward. I'll see if you can sacrifice yourself and punish me! By then,
It won't be Zack who has to be fed the shark, but all of you!"
Malcolm sent out a powerful aura in an instant. His tone was solemn, scaring all the Scott Family
members. They trembled and no one doubted his words.
Just then, Tom held Phoebe's hand and asked Phoebe softly, "Honey, do you want to take back what
you lost in the Scott Family and let them repent and apologize to you?"
Phoebe was stunned and did not understand what Tom meant for a moment. She said in surprise,
"What did you say?"
Tom looked at her deeply and said, "Honey, do you remember what I told you? I said I would protect
you. You were wronged by the Scott Family. I will claim the justice for you."
Then Tom walked forward.
His action startled Phoebe. She quickly pulled him back. "Tom, what are you doing? Are you going to
cause trouble for me again?!"
Tom turned around with a confident and brilliant smile. "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you this
time. Just wait and see."
After that, Tom shook off Phoebe's hand and walked out of the crowd.
"Malcolm, you looked very powerful. Many people are afraid of you." Tom walked slowly towards
Malcolm with a meaningful smile on his face.
His voice caught everyone's attention and they all looked over. When they saw that it was Tom who
actually dared to call Malcolm by his name, they were all scared and secretly scolded Tom in their
hearts, thinking he was really retarded. Could they not tell that Malcolm was a big shot? How dared he Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
choose to show off at this time?
When Malcolm saw Tom, he sighed with relief. Finally, this big shot was willing to complete the
performance with him.
