The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 116

Phoebe was struggling, trying to shout for help and to make a sound, but it was useless.

These relatives, who usually got along well with her, had now turned into demons and wanted tobite her flesh and blood, wishing she could die.

At this moment, Phoebe was extremely helpless and panicked. She had never experienced such athing before. They were her family. Why were they doing this to her? It was Zack who caused thismess, but now it was her fault?

If Zack hadn't been so selfish and used the company's money to gamble, the company wouldn'thave been like this.

She kept telling herself not to cry, not to give up, and to be strong.

However, she really couldn't. At this time, she had no one to ask for help and she was all alone inthe world.

In a hurry, someone even slapped her.

It was so hard that her hair went loose.

"I'll kill you! You selfish, vicious woman!"

When she heard this voice, she suddenly looked up and saw the girl, who had tricked her in,standing in front of her. She was gritting her teeth and looking at her like with hatred in her eyes.Phoebe's heart trembled. It was hard for her to accept this fact.

She was so good to this girl. She taught her everything from the beginning. It was no exaggerationto say that if it weren't for her, the girl would never have been so capable, let alone entered theboard of directors!

But now, the girl hit her...

In an instant, the tears that Phoebe had managed to hold back came out again.

"Grace, why are you doing this to me? I've never done anything wrong to you." Phoebe asked.However, the girl gritted her teeth and said, "Phoebe! You dare ask me! The entire Scotts has beendestroyed by you! That means my future is destroyed. You are my enemy!"

Phoebe clenched her teeth and her body shook twice. She almost lost her balance.

Everyone else had the same expression.

She lowered her head and tried to keep her mouth shut, not letting herself make a sound, but hertears could not be held back and fell non-stop.

"Enough!"

At this moment, Richard, who had been watching coldly for a long time, finally spoke.

He was still the most authoritative in the Scotts. When he spoke, he immediately calmed everyonedown. They stopped scolding Phoebe but stared at her with viciousness in their eyes.

Richard said again, "Kneel down.”

Phoebe's body trembled again. She looked up at Richard and said, "Grandpa, I won't kneel. I didn'tdo anything wrong!"

Richard banged his hand on the table. His cold face showed anger and he said loudly, "How dareyou! Phoebe, you still refuse to admit you are wrong. Do you really think I can't punish you? Kneeldown!"

Richard's voice was very loud. He had practiced martial arts. Although his physical strength haddecreased with age, his voice was still louder than many people. People outside could hear him.Many employees outside started gossiping.

Phoebe was even more heartbroken, but she still didn't give in, because she thought she didn't doanything wrong. It was not that she didn't save the company and her family. She just did what shethought was right.

"I didn't do anything wrong. I won't kneel!" Phoebe was still so stubborn.

Richard's face became even gloomier. He yelled, "How dare you go against me! You don't evenlisten to me, do you? Someone, hold her down. If she doesn't kneel, break her legs!"

Immediately, two adult men came over and pressed Phoebe's shoulder, forcing her to kneel downand plead guilty.

Phoebe struggled, and she said loudly, "Grandpa, why do you ask me to kneel down? It's not myfault that the fund chain was ruptured again. It's clearly Zack's fault! You should hold himaccountable. Why should I be the scapegoat? He's your grandson. But I am your granddaughter!”Phoebe was really dissatisfied and unwilling at this moment. Even if her grandfather broke her leg,she would not plead guilty. Because she didn't do anything wrong, it was Zack!

Zack immediately came out from the side, knelt down in front of Richard, and said loudly, "Grandpa!I admit that it was my fault for moving the company’s funds to pay off the debt last time. I waswrong! Because of this, I feel extremely ashamed, and I can't sleep and eat well. I knew I had donesomething wrong, so I desperately wanted to make amend for my mistake! So I kept runningaround for funds everywhere. I don't know how much I drank, how many times I vomited, how manynights I stayed up, and how much I suffered! Fortunately, my efforts paid off. I finally secured a dealwith Martin. I had spent much time and energy on him before he agreed to invest a hundred milliondollars in our company.”

"One hundred million! One hundred million! And he only wants 40% of our shares, and he will usehis resources to broaden the market for our company. This is a good thing. As long as we have thismoney, our the Scotts will definitely be reborn and go to a new level."

"I've done everything. There's only one last thing left. Martin wanted Phoebe to be with him once!But Phoebe was so selfish and actually offended Martin! Now Martin has said that even if we givehim 90% of our shares, he won't invest in us.”

"Grandpa, whose fault is it?"

Zack was so eloquent and he exaggerated his efforts. At first, it sounded very logical, impeccable,and reasonable. But after careful analysis, one could replace there was no reason at all.

However, at this time, everyone was very excited, and their minds in turmoil. They all blamedPhoebe and did not analyze it at all. In other words, they also thought that it was Phoebe's fault thatMartin withdrew his investment, causing the Scotts to be in danger!

After Richard heard this, his face became even worse. He smacked the table again, pointed atPhoebe's nose, and scolded, "What else do you want to say?"

Phoebe finally understood that at this time, no matter what she said, it was useless, because theyhad already decided that it was her fault.

She closed her eyes and tears fell silently.

Then she said, "It seems that my words don't matter. You just want to raise money. I can talk to Rory.He's willing to take out money to invest in us.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they were relieved, and some peopleeven showed an excited expression.

"Really?" Richard asked. "Rory is back?"

Phoebe didn't want to explain any more. She just nodded faintly and began to call Rory.
