The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 33

All of them forced Tom and vented their anger on Tom, each with a hateful countenance. As long asTom dared to refuse, they would rush up and pin him down.

Tom clenched his fists. He was also very angry. Richard and the other members of the Scott Familyreminded him of the Howard Family. At that time, the whole Howard Family forced him to kneel justlike this!

"Why should I kneel? What did I say wrong? I refuse to accept it!" Tom's eyes turned crimson, andhis face blushed.

Richard, as the head of the family, was extremely angry because of being contradicted by Tom, theuseless husband of Phoebe, "If I want you to kneel, you have to kneel. Is it important that yourefuse? Zack, Logan, hold him down. I not only want him to kneel but also want to break his legs!"Under Richard's instruction, Zack and Logan went over and held Tom's shoulder. They pressed theirknees against Tom's legs and forced Tom to kneel

Tom resisted desperately, his eyes dilating with fury. Just as he was about to lose his temper,Phoebe said, "Stop it!"

No one paid any attention to her. She took out the check that Tom had written to her from her bagand shouted, "If any of you still makes trouble for Tom, I'll tear up the check for twenty milliondollars!"

Her voice was so loud that it cracked. Hearing the word “twenty million," everyone stopped andlooked at Phoebe. When they saw the check in Phoebe's hand, they all showed a fervent expression."This is..."

"A check for 20 million dollars?"

"What's going on? Didn't Phoebe get the sex-for-money deal with Mr. Cook, did she?"

"Was Mr. Cook so quick that he reached an orgasm in such a short while?"

Logan let go of Tom and walked up to Phoebe. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Sis, youreally borrowed 20 million. It's amazing! Sis, can I see the check? I haven't seen a 20-million check inmy life.”

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the check from Phoebe’s hand.

Phoebe patted his hand away and said coldly, "Get off! Don't touch it!"

Pursing his lips, Logan was very unhappy. He muttered in a low voice, "Tsk, what's the big deal?"

At this moment, Zack also came over with a flattering smile, "Phoebe, is this really a check for 20million dollars? It's quite awesome!"

Phoebe said expressionlessly, "Didn't you just dismiss me as an ungrateful person who was unwillingto repay the Scott Family? Didn't you call me a good-for-nothing and wish to kick me out of theScott Family? Why don't you scold me now?"

Zack's mouth twitched a bit. He was so angry, but he didn't dare to vent his anger. He had to force areluctant and funny smile, "I was just joking with you. You're my cousin who grew up with metogether. Even if you couldn't borrow 20 million dollars, can I really blame you?"

Phoebe sneered and said, "Really? That's great. I lied to you just now. I offended Mr. Cook and failedto borrow 20 million."

Zack's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to scold Phoebe. However, he suddenly saw Phoebe'ssneer. Not stupid, he immediately realized that Phoebe was lying to him. He cursed in his heart,"Little bitch! Give her an inch and she'll take an ell!"

Although Zack and Phoebe were cousins, they didn't have a good relationship. Phoebe had beenbullied by Zack since she was a child. After Phoebe married Tom, Zack was also the one who bulliedTom the most in the whole Scott Family.

At this moment, Richard walked over and smiled kindly. He said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, grandpa hasalways had high expectations for you since you were a child. Sure enough, you didn't disappointgrandpa. You really borrowed 20 million dollars. Thank you for your hard work. Let grandpa see thecheck."

Phoebe wanted to say something but didn't say anything finally. She handed the check to Richard.The others also gathered around to see what the 20-million-dollars check was like!

Richard was also very excited. He carefully spread out the check and saw the number of 20 millionon it!

In an instant, everyone else held their breath with greed in their eyes. Twenty million dollars was ahuge sum of money, enough for each of them to live a good life!

"Hurry up, call and see if this check is valid!" Richard was so excited that his hands trembled whenhe ordered Zack to call the bank.

Zack also blushed with excitement. He quickly took out his cell phone and called, "Hello, please helpme replace out what kind of bank I can go to to cash my check. The serial number is..."

Zack turned on the hands-free mode. Everyone quieted down and listened. After a while, they heardthe sweet voice of the bank's staff, "Hello, your check is valid. You can cash it at any bank in thecountry.”

Extremely excited, they all took a deep breath. Richard carefully kept it for fear that he wouldaccidentally tear it up and fail to cash it.

The Scott Family was too poor now. For them, 20 million dollars was not just money but more of thehope of sustaining the Scott Family. With this money, the ruptured capital chain of the companycould be reconnected, and the company could operate normally again.

Tom smiled disdainfully when he saw them like this. Because they had never seen the elephantbefore, they would be so excited at only 20 million dollars. If they saw more than 50 billion dollars,would they all faint?

"Phoebe, how did you borrow the 20 million dollars? Didn't Mr. Cook want you to stay with him forthree days?"

"Yes, Phoebe, what the hell is going on?"

They all expressed their doubts, and even Elizabeth and James were curious.

Phoebe said expressionlessly, "I didn't stay with Mr. Cook."

"What!"

"This.

All surprised, they asked Phoebe what happened, afraid that Phoebe had offended Mr. Cook.

Then Phoebe told them what happened tonight. Of course, she didn't give out some details,including the chairman of the ZQ Media with a clown mask, the hug she gave him, and her crush forhim.

Richard and the others were stunned after hearing this. It was hard to understand why the chairmanof the ZQ Media lent 20 million dollars to Phoebe for nothing. What did he want? Was there anychaste man in the world who would refuse such a beautiful woman?

Looking at each other, they didn't believe it. Although they didn't say anything, they thought thatPhoebe must hide something to avoid embarrassment. She said that the chairman of ZQ Companydidn't sleep with her, but maybe she had already lost her virginity to him! Besides, Tom was stillhere. No matter how useless Tom was, he was also Phoebe's husband. It was reasonable for Phoebeto be embarrassed.

"What about the IOU? Was it written for three years without interest?" Zack thought of this andasked hurriedly.

Phoebe said, "No 10U."

Hearing this, they were even more certain that Phoebe must have had intimacy with the chairman ofZQ Company. Moreover, Phoebe must have left him with a good impression so he wouldn't evenrequire an 10U,

Phoebe already knew what they were thinking at the sight of their expressions, but she didn'tbother to explain. It was hard to convince them, so there was no point in explaining. Anyway, shedidn't have an affair with the chairman

She couldn't help but look at Tom in the corner. When she saw that Tom even smiled without anysadness or regret, she was furious. How could he be so coward? He was indifferent even whenhearing that his wife had slept with another man!
