The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 85

Half an hour later, in front of a villa, Phoebe frowned and demanded, "aren't we are going to talkwith Martin about the contract? Why are we here?”

Zack parked the car and said, "The contract has been drawn up. All it needs is a signature. He cansign anywhere he wants. Nothing strange.”

Phoebe asked, "but why did Martin choose to sign the contract here? Shouldn't it be in thecompany?"

"How do I know? This is Mr. Gablehauser's decision. He's a billionaire. How can I figure out whathe's thinking." Zack thought of something and said in a deep voice, "By the way, you can't call himby his name after we go in. You have to call him Mr. Gablehauser, okay?"

Phoebe remained silent and clenched her fists. She felt hesitant.

Zack preceded her, and then stopped and looked back. "What are you doing? Follow up.”"Phoebe, don't play any tricks on me. It's the most critical time for the Scott Family. Without Mr.Gablehauser's money, we're done. We sink or swim together. Do you think you and your parentscan get away with it? Your father is the legal person of the company, which means he will bear thebrunt if we fail!" Zack threatened.

Phoebe's expression changed. Finally, she sighed and said with a cold face, "I'll just serve you tea.Don't count on me to do anything else!"

"That's not up to you."

"What did you say?!" Phoebe glared

Zack chuckled, "Nothing, just a joke. You just serve tea. Mr. Gablehauser simply admires you. Afterall, you have some reputation in H City, don't you?"

Zack's ghastly face was so infuriating. Back then, it was because of Zack's ineffectuality that Tomjoined the Scott Family as a matrilocal son-in-law, which was also why she had a "reputation" in HCity and had been a butt of the joke for so many years.

Thinking of this, she could not help but think of that man. Tom was very young for marriage whenhe joined the Scott Family.

She chose Tom because another enthusiastic suitor stood no chance of marrying her, and Tom washer best choice left.

Speaking of which, she had not seen that man for four years. Her decision to marry Tomdisheartened him and he left H City after that. As four years passed, how had he been?

Such an outstanding person like him must have his family already.

Absorbed in reminiscences, Phoebe was a little abstracted. Time flew and nothing was constant."Lead the way." Phoebe glared at Zack and said.

Zack laughed sinisterly and walked forward.

Suddenly, something struck him and he turned to Phoebe and said, "by the way, it suddenlyoccurred to me that Rory seems to have come back recently. Has he come to see you?"

Hearing that name, Phoebe paused and something unnatural moved featherlight across her face.Rory!

She hadn't heard that name for a long time. It was that man's name.

"Crap, we are just friends. Why would he come to see me?" Phoebe said with a straight face.

Zack smiled evilly. "Oh, really? You almost married him back then. Speaking of which, you shouldhave married him instead of a washout. Do you know that Rory is running a big company now? Ifyou had married him back then, you would have lived a rich and comfortable life as his wife, noneed to do things like this.”

He spoke in a malicious voice with a really punchable face.

Phoebe couldn't help but flare out. "Zack! One more word and I'll leave without turning back!"Sensing that Phoebe was really provoked, Zack quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm justjoking. No hard feelings.”

Phoebe snorted. Zack's shameless face became more and more unbearable.

However, her mind was in a mess because of Zack's words. She unintentionally wondered whether itwould have been better if she had married Rory back then.

With all those disconcerting thoughts in her mind, Phoebe followed Zack into the villa and sawMartin.

"Mr. Gablehauser, nice to see you." Zack said ingratiatingly and servilely and bowed in a veryhumble manner.

"Welcome. Come in and have a sit." Martin gave Zack a brief look and then locked his eyes onPhoebe. When he saw how gorgeous Phoebe was, his eyes lit up and his lips broke into a randy andhorny smile which was nothing like the smile of that self-effacing gentleman in front of Colton andKaylie.

Right, Martin was the young man who personally proposed to Kaylie a while ago.

Martin's gaze made Phoebe very uneasy, but she forced a smile and greeted him politely.

Martin was in a robe and looked very casual. It wasn't what one should wear for a business occasionand apparently he didn't respect Zack and Phoebe as his working partners.

Zack didn't feel anything wrong with this. He even bent down and lit a cigarette for Martin.Phoebe frowned slightly. She had a bad first impression of Martin.

"I have long heard of your incomparable beauty as the top of the three most beautiful women in HCity. You live up to your reputation.” Martin eyed Phoebe up and down and said with a smile.Phoebe quelled the discomfort in her heart and smiled perfunctorily. She then said in a professionalmanner, "Mr. Gablehauser, the financing..."

Martin interrupted her and said, "what's the rush? Zack and I have already settled the details. Thereare only some papers to be signed.”

"Since that's the case, let sign the papers now.” Phoebe took out the contract, handed it to Martin,and looked at him expectantly. "Mr. Gablehauser, this is a contract drawn up by us. Once you sign itand transfer 100 million dollars to our account, you will own 40 % of SK Company's shares.”

Martin didn't touch the contract that Phoebe handed over. Instead, he squinted at Phoebe with asmile and said, "Miss Scott, do you think 40 % of your company's shares are worth 100 million?"Phoebe's face darkened. "Mr. Gablehauser, I don't quite understand what you mean. Didn't youpropose to buy 40 % of our shares with 100 million dollars?"

Martin laughed. He stood up, walked around the coffee table towards Phoebe.

In an instant, nervousness flashed through Phoebe's face.
