The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 84

On the way back, Elizabeth kept blaming Tom for causing serious trouble. He should have just endured

being beaten just now. He should not have pretended to be a big shot. Now that he had hit Jeremias,

he was going to be in deep trouble.

Therefore, Elizabeth kept scolding Tom and asked Tom to go back and apologize to Jeremias at once.

He must not get the Scott Family involved.

Tom was really annoyed by what she said. He got angry and said impatiently, "Mom, can you shut up? I

told you I wouldn't involve the Scott Family. Why are you still talking nonsense?"

Elizabeth flew into a rage immediately. "Oh my! You are good for nothing. I just gave you some advice.

How dare you be impatient with me? If it weren't for our family, you would have starved to death. Now

you become a little bit stronger, and you dare to talk back! I knew you had no conscience. You guys

didn't believe me. You should believe me now!"

Tom's mouth twitched a few times. He really wanted to refute Elizabeth, but he knew that he shouldn't

do this. No matter what, Elizabeth was his mother-in-law.

So he simply ignored her and stopped talking.

When they arrived home and entered the room, they could finally be left alone.

Phoebe still seemed to have something on her mind. After she came back, she had a straight face and

was often in a daze. She even became forgetful. When she took a shower, she forgot to bring her

clothes in. She slightly opened the door and asked Tom to take the clothes to her.

This kind of thing had never happened before. Tom immediately became excited, his heart beating

violently!

Elizabeth was right. They were a fake couple. They had been married for four years and had never

been intimate.

After spending four years together day and night, Tom became more interested in Phoebe than any

other woman.

Having handed the clothes to Phoebe, Tom couldn't calm down for a long time.

As a result, he didn't sleep well that night.

Fortunately, he was in good health. Even if he didn't sleep enough, he wouldn't be listless.

James said something this morning at breakfast and caught Tom's attention. "Phoebe, I heard from the

people in the company that Zack has found an investor who is willing to invest 100 million in Shengke?"

Phoebe paused for a moment, and an unnatural look flashed across her face. Then she nodded as if

nothing had happened, "Yes, it's true."

James said, "How did Zack have this kind of connection? How come he knows such a high-level

investor? Investing 100 million dollars isn't a simple matter."

Elizabeth said bitterly, "Zack was really lucky. He caused such serious trouble and got kicked out of the

Scott Family, but he could still find such a rich investor."

At this point, she kicked Tom under the table and said in a strange tone, "Unlike the trash in our family,

who only causes trouble and can't do anything at all!"

Tom got used to her unruly behavior. He just silently folded his legs, pretending not to hear anything.

"Who is this investor Zack has found?" Tom asked curiously.

James glared at him and said angrily, "It's none of your business. It's someone you don't know."

Phoebe suddenly said, "Martin."

Tom thought about it seriously. He really didn't know Martin. He had never heard of him before.

He didn't know his name, so he speculated that this Martin must not be a big shot.

Four years ago, when he was not framed and expelled by the Howard Family, Tom was famous in the

celebrity circle. The people who could get close to him were powerful, not playboys.

"I heard that Martin had asked you to go over and make tea for him, then he would sign the contract?"

James asked, "Phoebe, do you know Martin?"

Hearing this, Tom immediately raised his ears and looked at Phoebe.

"Wasn't Zack the one who negotiated for this funding? Why did Martin ask Phoebe to make tea?" Tom

asked with a frown.

Elizabeth also realized that something was wrong and said, "Yes, Phoebe, why did he ask you to make

tea? Is Zack up to something?"

Phoebe shook her head and said, "Mom, you're thinking too much. I'm the backbone of the company

now. It's normal for grandpa to ask me to be there for such a big financing."

This made sense, so James and Elizabeth stopped thinking about it.

Tom, on the other hand, felt something wrong and frowned.

After breakfast, Phoebe went out. Tom said he was going to take Phoebe to work, but she refused.

Looking at Phoebe's figure, Tom felt more and more strange when he thought about Phoebe's Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

performance these two days. After thinking about it, he called Elliot and asked him directly, "Do you

know Martin?"

"Martin? Yes, he is the young master of the Gablehausers. He has a good reputation in the business

circle recently. He invested in several companies and made a lot of money." Elliot gave a rough

description of Martin.

After listening to Elliot's words, Tom had a general understanding of Martin. He was not a talented

person. He had to rely on his family connections to invest.

"What kind of person is he?" Tom asked.

Elliot said, "He is not a good person. He is quite ruthless. Many people who have offended him have

been secretly dealt with by him. Moreover, Martin is a typical scumbag who has played with many

women's feelings. But he's hiding it so well that even his family don't know about it. I heard that he

recently sought a marriage alliance with the Knights . He wants to marry the daughter of the Knights ."

Hearing he mentioned the daughter of the Knights , Tom felt a little familiar somehow. He thought about

it for a while. It seemed that he didn't know any woman whose surname was Knight so he did not think

further.

After he finished the call with Elliot, Tom's face darkened. He already knew why Martin asked Phoebe

to make tea. Obviously, his target was Phoebe!

After Phoebe went downstairs, Zack was already waiting for her by the roadside. Seeing that she was

dressed in plain leisure clothes, he frowned and said, "Is this what you wear to negotiate with Mr.

Gablehauser? Hurry up and change into something nice. Be sexier."

Phoebe said expressionlessly, "Zack, it is for the Scott Family that I agreed to go with you to sign the

contract. Don't push your luck!"

Zack grinned, "Oh, how noble! Who are you bluffing at? Everyone knows that you've slept with the

chairman of ZQ Company many times. By the way, since you've slept with him so many times, didn't he

give you tens of millions when the Scott Family's funding chain was broken? After all, it's perfect timing

for you to be a big shareholder."

Phoebe's expression immediately changed. "I'm not going!"

She was about to leave.

Zack hurriedly grabbed her and said with a creepy smile, "Hey, why are you angry? I was just joking

with you. Why are you so narrow-minded?"

Phoebe was furious. Looking at Zack's smug face, she really wanted to punch him!
