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 figurein 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 washer 'Sacrifice’ day, but he never showed up. He didn't even send a message of support to her, nordid he sign the divorce agreement.

Coincidentally, she walked out of ZQ Building and saw someone she didn't want to see. That wasTom. 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'rehere 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 milliondollars 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, Tomwould not be angry, and he had no dignity at all. Compared with the chairman of the ZQ Media, hewas really too much worse!

"Uh..." Tom stammered, unable to explain why. Phoebe was even more annoyed and waved herhand, "Needless to say. I'm not interested to know. Where did you get this suit? Don't you have nosuit?"

Phoebe grabbed the suit jacket on her body and asked doubtfully. She pinched it. The material wasquite 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 tolook for a job, so I came here today to look for a job. I just found a job as a real estate agent. Theseare 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 hadshe ever thought of divorce. But now, after meeting the chairman, she found that she was movedand had feelings for that cold figure. For the first time, she had an idea that she didn't want to livewith Tom.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Phoebe walked before Tom with a cold face and did not speakto 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 replacea 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 donesomething 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 toborrow money, his wife was going to sell her body, but he didn't feel ashamed and he could stilllaugh!

Phoebe wanted to slap him in the face, but when she thought that Tom was just useless and hedidn't do anything wrong, and this was her original choice, she found that there was nothing shecould 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 ofsmoke. Besides James and Elizabeth, Richard, Zack, Victor and other elders were all there. They weresmoking and discussing things. When they saw Phoebe and Tom coming back, they wereimmediately stunned.

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

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

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

Zack also scolded, "Phoebe, what's wrong with you? We told you to finish the task and borrow the20 million no matter what happened! Look at what you did! You are back in less than an hour! Thefamily raised you, fed you, clothed you, and taught you. Now that the family is in trouble, is this howyou repay the family? You don't care about the family as you only care about your own selfishdesires, do you?"

Phoebe had come back enthusiastically, preparing to tell everyone that she had finished her taskahead of time and borrowed 20 million dollars. While as soon as she entered, these people scoldedher 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 clearlybecause of your poor management and everyone is corrupt. If you earn a little money, you willspend more. You will buy a house, buy a car and buy luxury goods! This led to the break of thefunding chain and the loss of cooperation with distributors. This is a vicious cycle! Instead, Phoebehad been working diligently to contribute herself to the Scott Family. The Scott Family has becomewhat it is today and you are completely responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with Phoebe! Ifyou really want someone to sacrifice for the family, it should be you! In the end, it's okay if youdon'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 wereon him. They were a little unable to react. How could Tom, who was good-for-nothing, have such astrong 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 theground 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 blameus? I didn't even settle the score with you on the 70th birthday last time! Are you lecturing the ScottFamily now?!"

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

Tom did not retreat this time. It was okay for him to be wronged in the Scott Family, but he couldnot see Phoebe being wronged. He knew better than anyone how hard Phoebe had been tryingtonight. 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 noright to blame her! Besides, each of you has several houses and you can raise money by sellingthem, but you all can't bear to do this! You would rather sacrifice Phoebe to fulfill yourself. You areall 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, thechairman of ZQ Media...

"What the hell!" Richard was even angrier. Not only he, but the others were also furious. They allstood 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 theywould break his legs.
