The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 42

Phoebe was silent.

She was unable to refute due to Megan's words even though she wanted to.

"I don't know..." She could only answer this in the end.

Megan was in an extremely bad mood.

She thought that Tom and Phoebe had fallen out and they would get divorced soon, so she had agreat chance. She didn't expect that Tom would use the identity of the chairman of ZQ to makeadvance to Phoebe, and Phoebe fell in love with him!

She didn't know why Tom didn't tell Phoebe his real identity, but it was bad news for her.

"Phoebe, do you really not know who the chairman of ZQ is?" Megan said.

Phoebe shook her head and said, "I don't know. I've met him twice, and he was wearing a mask...But I feel that he seems to be interested in me.”

She lowered her voice when saying the last sentence. She looked down and somewhat blushed.Megan cursed secretly, "Whore."

It was certain that Phoebe did not know that Tom was the chairman of ZQ. It was an opportunity forMegan. At least there was still a chance. Her eyes rolled and she sneered, "Come on, he's thechairman of the ZQ Media. He's a billionaire and a big shot. How could he like you? He can playwith any woman he wants. He runs an entertainment company. There are so many beautiful femalestars working for him. He must have played with dozens of women.”

Phoebe was very uncomfortable and retorted, "I don't think he's such a person.”

Megan said disdainfully, "Do you think you are absolutely right? That's just your wishful thinking.Tell you what, men think only with their lower halves, especially those rich ones. The chairman of ZQhas plenty of money. As long as he snaps his fingers, women will rush over him. Those so-calleddevoted men are all because they don't have money! For example, Tom. If he has money, he musthave indulged in dissipation.”

"I don't think Tom would be like that." Phoebe frowned.

Megan was a good liar. "Why wouldn't he? When I went to your house, he had been staring at me.When you are not there, he came over to accost me. I didn't tell you about this."

Megan was happy to see Phoebe put on a serious face. She praised herself for sowing discordsuccessfully.

"What a disgusting scum!" Phoebe cursed in a low voice, and her face was filled with disgust. Thenshe said, "I still don't think the chairman of ZQ is such a person. If he is really such a scum, he canhave me that night. Why did he let me go?"

Megan replied, "I told you you don't know men. A man like ... A playboy like the chairman of ZQ, hehas played with all kinds of women. Now he has higher interests and wanted to trifle with you.When you fall in love with him completely, he kicks you away and enjoys your suffering.”

Phoebe's face turned a little pale. "Is this really going to happen?”

Megan held back the joy in her heart. "Is it necessary for me to lie to you?"

After a pause, her tone softened and switched to a caring tone, "Phoebe, we're good friends. I'msaying these for your own sake, and I won't harm you. Think about it, Why would the chairman ofZQ still make advance to you when he knew you are married? Your affection for him is in his plan. Toavoid future tragedies, I think you should draw a line with him and ignore him whenever you seehim. As for Tom, he's not a good man either. Just divorce him!"

Tom came out of Golden Dragon KTV and had been waiting for Phoebe's call, but she hadn't calledfor a long time. Just as he was about to call her, he saw Megan appear in a hurry and walk intoGolden Dragon KTV. He put down his phone again and sighed. It seemed that Phoebe still didn'ttrust him. Phoebe would rather call Megan than him after such a big thing happened. What a loserhe was for being her husband!

After waiting for a while, he saw Megan and Phoebe coming out of Golden Dragon KTV. He feltmuch relaxed to see that Phoebe was better.

Not long after, Elliot came out of Golden Dragon KTV and trotted to get in the car. He said to Tomrespectfully, "Mr. Howard, I've done my job. Brian and the others have been in big trouble this time.All of them will be in prison for at least three to five years.”

Tom nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done.”

Elliot was overjoyed, and his fat face beamed with a smile. "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Howard."

Tom did not say anything and looked out the window.

Elliot added, "Mr. Howard, Malcolm said he wanted to invite you to dinner. What do you think...""I'm busy.” Tom refused directly.

The smile on Elliot's face froze. "Okay, then I'll reject him."

After a while, Tom asked, "When?"

"What?" Elliot was surprised, then blurted, "It's up to you!"

"Tomorrow then," Tom said.

"Okay, I'm going to reply to him now." Elliot immediately went back to Golden Dragon KTV. A fewminutes later, Malcolm, whose face full of excitement, followed Elliot and watched Tom leave.Malcolm was the boss of Golden Dragon KTV. He was not very rich. In addition to running GoldenDragon KTV, he mainly ran a gambling house and knew quite a lot of people. It was not a bad thingto associate with him. Maybe Malcolm could help in the future.

When he got home, it was already midnight. Phoebe didn't come back until 1 a.m. She wasobviously tired and absent-minded.

"Honey, you're back."

Tom walked over and took Phoebe's bag. He talked to her with a gentle smile.

Phoebe had just come back from the hospital. She had been having an intravenous drip for an hour.Now she was tired and sleepy, so she nodded lazily.

Tom brought the tea to Phoebe and said softly, "Honey, come on, have some hot tea. You'll feelbetter."

Phoebe looked at Tom's gentle face and was somewhat touched. Soon, she thought of what Meganhad said to her and became indifferent to Tom again. She put down the teacup and said in a coldvoice, "I'm not thirsty.”

Tom didn't think too much. He thought Phoebe was still in a bad mood because of what happenedtonight.

"Sleep in the living room tonight. Don't come into my room.” When Tom was about to followPhoebe to their room, she suddenly said so with her face full of disgust.

Tom was dumbfounded. What was going on? He didn't think that he provoked her, did he?
