The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 47

No trace of humility and reverence could be found on Malcolm's face now. He was not the sameperson he had been when he dined with Tom the other day. He walked like an intimidating lion. Thewhole place was enveloped in silence and everyone looked at him in awe.

Malcolm started from scratch and although he was wearing a suit that disguised him as a businesselite, his brutal manner betrayed his humble origins.

"Wow, what a scene. Hope I don't miss anything.” Malcolm said with a smile, walking forwardleisurely with two walnuts in his hands.

When Zack saw Malcolm, his smiling face was frozen. His face turned pale at a visible speed, hispupils constricted in panic, and even his legs were quivering.

He couldn't figure out why Malcolm was here.

He had already given Malcolm ten million dollars yesterday. Why did he show up again? Was itbecause he didn't go gambling today?

Tom, who was in the crowd, smiled mysteriously when he saw Malcolm coming.

Why was Malcolm here? Because the chairman of ZQ wanted him here.

Fifteen and a half million was not big money for Malcolm. Besides, Zack had paid him ten millionthe day before yesterday, so he could have given him more time for the rest of the money.However, he received the message from Tom asking him to come over. Since he couldn't afford torefuse, he did as he was told without any delay.

He didn't know why the chairman of ZQ called him over and how he got involved with theunremarkable Scott Family, but they all didn't matter. He was just doing the chairman a favor.After dinner that day, he investigated the chairman of ZQ but found nothing. He just heard that theyoung man acquired ZQ Media for 2.5 billion dollars just a while ago. According to Elliot, he boughtthe company on a whim, which meant that the young chairman of ZQ was very rich, extremely rich,and had a distinguished background. That was why a man of his status couldn't replace anyinformation about him.

With that in mind, he immediately stopped all his investigation cause he didn't want to get himselfkilled after word spread to the chairman. The more he knew the world, the more he realized hisinsignificance. There were many people in the world that were superior to him

The content of the message was very simple. The chairman wanted him to be here as soon aspossible and cooperated with him in playacting

He couldn't figure out what the chairman was up to. He just did it anyway.

Richard and the others were all awed by the presence of Malcolm

"Malcolm, what brings you here?" Richard, as the head of the family, represented the dignity of theScott Family. Although he was very afraid of Malcolm, he still had to assume composure in front ofthe whole family.

Malcolm was rubbing the walnuts in his hands, and the clattering made everyone's skin crawl,including Phoebe.

Malcolm didn't say anything for a while, his eyes sweeping through the crowd, looking for thechairman of ZQ, but to his disappointment, he failed to spot him.

The members of the Scott Family who were caught by his eyes were all terrified and their heartswere thumping. The shadow that Malcolm had brought to them in the early years was still lingering."Oh, I happen to be here for dinner and collect some debts before leaving.” Malcolm said cheerfully.Richard's pupils constricted. That was the last thing he wanted to happen. Someone in the ScottFamily gambled in Malcolm's place and lost a lot of money. Even ten million was not enough to payoff the debt.

Thinking of this, he immediately cast an arrow-like glance at Phoebe and simply wanted to tear herapart on the spot.

"Malcolm, are you kidding me? The Scott Family has no business relations with you. How come thatyou collect debts here?" Richard said with a forced smile.

Malcolm was still smiling. "Really? It seems that you know nothing of what your dearest grandsonhas done. He had a really good time at my place but was a little unlucky and lost some money. Hepromised to pay the money the next day, but disappeared and avoided my calls. I had no choice butto look for him myself. I didn't mean to disrupt your family dinner tonight. Tsk tsk, I'm really sorryfor coming uninvited. You will forgive me, won't you?"

Hearing this, Richard could no longer maintain his composure, the smile on his face stiffened, andthe corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He suppressed his rage and said to Malcolm,"Malcolm, is there such a thing? I didn't know anything about it."

Malcolm's face darkened instantly. His smile vanished and he stared at Richard coldly. "You meanyou deny it?"

Feeling Malcolm's anger, Richard was startled. He quickly shook his head and said, "No. Malcolm,you misunderstood! I absolutely didn't mean that. If it was really the money owed by the ScottFamily, I promise we won't welsh on you! I just don't know how much money we owe you."Malcolm relented a little. He said with a wry smile, "Not much, just fifteen and a half million. By theway, you paid ten million the day before yesterday, leaving five and a half million. But adding theinterest of these two days, it's six and a half million. Mr. Scott, it's not easy to earn money thesedays. I need money now and six and a half million is a sizable sum for me, so you'd better pay it offtoday, or I will feel offended.”

Tom was amused behind them. He didn't expect Malcolm to be good at threatening. By now,Richard was already horrified and trembling.

"What?!" Victor exclaimed. "Fifteen and a half million! It's only been two days, and there's an extramillion of interest!"

When the other family members heard the number, they were also furious. They pointed atPhoebe's and cursed her in the dirtiest languages.

"Useless bitch! You actually lost more than ten million dollars!"

"It that you revenge on the Scott Family because we took back some of your shares and let youtemporarily withdraw from the board of directors?”

"At least you're part of the Scott Family. How can you be so vicious? Are you still a human?"

"Told you that Phoebe was born a rebellious and ungrateful woman. Now that my words aretestified. She's going to drag the Scott Family into the abyss!"

"She's malicious like a demon..."

For a moment, Phoebe became the target of overwhelming criticism. Originally, they said thatLogan went to gamble and lost a lot of money to Malcolm. Now, they deemed it Phoebe'sconspiracy against the Scott Family and she deliberately lost more than ten million dollars toMalcolm.

Phoebe tried to defend herself, but her voice was completely drowned in the malignant abuse ofothers.

Her eyes were red, and she felt so aggrieved and helpless that she couldn't help but cry, "I didn't doit. Why did you all throw mud at me... Am I really that vicious in your eyes?!"

She screamed, but no one believed her.

Not far away, Malcolm's attention was attracted and when he saw Phoebe clearly, he was stunnedfor a moment, and then his eyes widened in surprise!

He was clever and quickly figured out why the chairman of ZQ wanted him here.
