The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 37

Tom felt her gaze, and his heart immediately became nervous. He quickly walked inside and avoidedPhoebe's gaze.

Phoebe didn't recognize him, did she?

Fortunately, Phoebe quickly looked away and laughed at herself. She was bewitched. How could sheconnect Tom with the chairman of ZQ?

The chairman was a super rich man with a high position and a strong aura. Tom was just a lowlyson-in-law who lived in her house and didn't have any skills. He was also very weak. He was acoward as he wouldn't fight back. The difference between him and the chairman was like ants anddragons.

Shaking her head hard, Phoebe threw out this ridiculous idea and said to Elizabeth, "It's notsomeone I know. I think the chairman is wearing a mask because he doesn't want me to see him.He's a very unique person.”

Elizabeth, as a woman, saw Phoebe's lost expression. She. of course, understood what was going on.She simply said, "In my opinion, the chairman is interested in you!"

Phoebe was frightened by her words and blushed. She quickly shook her head and said, "Mom,what are you talking about? This is impossible!"

"Why is that impossible?" Elizabeth said seriously,” Look, you were going to accompany Mr. Cook,but Mr. Cook gave you to the chairman. Chairman must have known about this and warned Mr.Cook. Didn't you say that Mr. Cook had a good attitude when he saw you? He didn't even dare tolook at you! That's right. Mr. Cook is famous for being lecherous in the circle. You're so beautifuland dressed so sexy. If the chairman hadn't warned Mr. Cook, would Mr. Cook do nothing to you?He would have already got advantages of you!"

"What are you talking about? You make it sound so bad.” Phoebe couldn't stand Elizabeth'svulgarity.

"Forget about whether it sounds bad. You shall tell whether it is true. Mom is a veteran, and I'mmore experienced! Chairman must like you, so he won't touch you. He wants to make a goodimpression on you." Elizabeth said seriously, confident in her own deduction.

Phoebe was a little convinced by what she said. Her heart beat faster. If it was really like what hermom said...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore. Her face was already red.

At this moment, Elizabeth continued, "Phoebe, this is your great opportunity! The chairman is richand powerful with billions of dollars. If you can have a relationship with him, you won't have toworry about the rest of your life. You can live a comfortable life. At that time, the Scott Family willfollow your lead. Who dares to look down on you?"

Phoebe was a little moved by what Wilson said. Thinking of something, she quickly shook her headand said, "But I'm married.”

Elizabeth immediately poked at Phoebe's head as she regretted that her offspring did not live up toher expectations. "You. What should mom say about you? So what if you're married? You haven'thad sex with Tom. You're still a virgin now. Chairman won't mind."

At this time, Tom got choked as he ate and coughed twice. Phoebe's eyes flashed with somecomplexity and said, "Stop it. I'm going to take a shower.”

"Hey, what are you..." Elizabeth glared at Tom fiercely. The more she looked, the more she felt thatTom was annoying.

Tom was quite speechless. It was a beautiful misunderstanding. That day, he asked Elliot not to thinkabout Phoebe. He just wanted to solve this matter. Who knew that Elliot had misinterpreted hismeaning and sent Phoebe to him! What's going on now? Did he cuckold himself?

The next day.

Before Phoebe got off work, she received a call from Brian. "Hello, Phoebe, are you free tonight?""What's the matter?” Phoebe asked faintly.

Brian: "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

Phoebe was stunned. After thinking for a while, she did not remember what a big day it was today."What day is it?"

Brian's disappointed voice came from the other end of the phone. "I knew you forgot that today ismy birthday."

"Ah? Sorry, I forgot." Phoebe apologized awkwardly. Over the years, Brian had remembered herbirthday and given her gifts every year, but she had forgotten Brian's birthday. It was notappropriate.

Brian laughed at himself and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it. I'm having a birthday party in GoldenDragon KTV tonight. Can you come over?"

Phoebe subconsciously wanted to refuse. She didn't feel anything to Brian. Now that she had metthe chairman, she felt even less about Brian.

Seeing that she was silent, Brian said in a nearly pleading tone, "Phoebe, I used to celebrate yourbirthday with you. Can you accompany me this year?"

Hearing Brian's words, Phoebe softened her heart and nodded. "Okay, send me the address. I'll bethere later.”

"Okay, okay. Phoebe, I'm really glad that you will come!” Brian was overjoyed. After hanging up thephone, he swept away the excitement on his face. The corners of his mouth began to rise, revealinga conspiratorial smile. He muttered to himself, "Hmph, I'm afraid that you won't come. As long asyou come, you won't be able to run away!"

Then he snickered.

Phoebe did not know that Brian had been having ulterior motives towards her. After work, she cameout of the company and saw Tom waiting in the hall. She immediately frowned.

"Phoebe, you're off work." Tom greeted Phoebe with a bright smile.

Phoebe nodded calmly. She noticed that many people around her were secretly pointing at her andwhisperings came in her ear, "Who is this man? He looks very poor.”

"How can he talk to Phoebe?"

"You're new here. You don't know Tom. He's the husband of beautiful Phoebe. He's the kind of son-in-law who lives in his wife's parents’ house!"

"Really? Phoebe is already married? She's so beautiful. She definitely has a lot of men who pursueher. Why should she recruit a husband? Is she crazy?"

"I don't know. Maybe this man is rich and have a big penis. Hehe..."

Phoebe felt very embarrassed when these people's complaints reached her ears. She was originally avery thin-skinned person and did not like to be discussed like this by others.

She glared at Tom, lowered her head, and walked out of the company building quickly.

"Tom, what's wrong with you? Didn't I warn you not to come to the company to look for me? Areyou out of money again? I gave you 500 dollars last month, and you spent it so quickly?!" Phoebescolded angrily.

Tom looked at Phoebe affectionately and said, "Phoebe, we've been married for four years, and Ihaven't treated you to a meal properly. Today, I made a reservation at Juyaxuan and gave me achance to make up for what I haven't done in the past four years, okay?"

Phoebe frowned. "Juyaxuan is a high-end restaurant. Two or three thousand for each meal. Wheredid you get the money?"

"I have a job."

"But you only worked yesterday."

Tom made an excuse. "I, uh, got an advance on my salary.”

Hearing this, Phoebe was not moved. Instead, her expression became gloomy and she looked atTom hatefully. "What should I say about you? You just got a job on the first day and got paid inadvance and spent it to do the high level consumption? Tom, when can you be more mature?”

Tom hurriedly explained, "Actually, it's not an advance. The boss rewarded me for my goodperformance.”

Phoebe's eyes were even colder. "It was your first day at work and the boss rewarded you with a fewthousand dollars? Tom, you're an idiot. Do you think everyone is an idiot?"

"Phoebe..."

"Okay, don't argue. I'm not interested.” Phoebe interrupted him. "It's Brian's birthday today. I'mgoing to his birthday party. I don't have time to eat with you.”

Brian's birthday?

His intuition told him that things were not that simple. He said in a deep voice, "Phoebe, Brian is adevious person. He has been trying to get you. The last time he lost face on grandpa's seventiethbirthday, he would definitely hold a grudge in his heart. I think this is probably a trap. It's best not togo."

Phoebe said in disgust, "Tom, you're getting more and more disgusting! Measuring the stature ofgreat men by the yardstick of small men and do you think everyone is as scheming as you? Brian ismy college classmate, and I know his character very well! If he really wanted to set me up, he wouldhave done it already. Would he have waited until today?"

Seeing that Tom was still trying to speak, Phoebe pushed him away roughly and strode into the carand left.
