The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 43

He had no choice but to spend the night on the sofa.

The next day, Tom went to have a meal with Malcolm. In Juyaxuan, Malcolm booked the most luxurious room and specially invited Tom.

Malcolm was already sixty this year, but he only looked like a fifty-year-old man, who was well kept.

In fact, Malcolm was a very motivated person. He came out from his hometown at the age of fifteen to find a job. For more than ten years, he had tried no less than a hundred kinds of jobs and always be honest, and diligent, but his job was still plain. Later, his woman was slept with by the boss, so he directly chopped the boss, and then he was put in prison for a few years. After coming out of prison, his perception has changed dramatically. His previous honesty and generosity disappeared and he became sophisticated and treacherous. He became rich in his middle age and his business grew bigger and bigger by his means. He not only opened a casino, but also opened a KTV. he is not too top in H City, but also a powerful person. Tom still remembered that just a few years ago, someone in the Scott Family offended Malcolm. At that time, the whole of the Scott Family was afraid. Only by giving a great sum of money by Richard personally did this thing pass.

Malcolm, who frightened the Scott Family a lot now, respectfully lowered himself in front of Tom and followed Elliot to call him "chairman" respectfully.

Tom felt satisfied. Malcolm flattered him in various ways. He was good at flattering, but there was no trace of it, and it was not repulsive. It had to be said that Malcolm really had special methods to get the status today.

...

Recently Zack lived a happy and satisfying life. With that 20 million injections, the Scott Family originally broken the capital chain was renewed, and many channel merchants began to come to cooperate. Everything was back to the previous track, and they gained profits in a short time. He also got his share of the dividend. He had been poor for so long, now all changed, and he immediately spent tens of thousands of dollars to go to the bar and found a college-girl prostitute to vent his emotions.

The best part was that he had won hundreds of thousands dollars at Malcolm's gambling casino with his friends these two days. He was really arrogant and satisfied that he even wanted everyone to know this.

When the family came out for dinner yesterday, he saw that Phoebe was going to pack the leftovers back and mocked Phoebe arrogantly.

At the Scott Family's conference room.

Zack gave everyone a report on the recent performance, and he said proudly, "Tell you good news, the family's business is now back on track. Not only that, not long ago, our two competing companies lost more money than even we did because of improper operations, and they had now declared bankruptcy! In other words, now we have no more rivals in H City! In the future, we will continue to get higher records, and I believe we will be able to expand and build a factory next year."

Hearing his words, all the shareholders of the Scott Family applauded, including Phoebe, who was also one of the shareholders. She felt genuinely happy.

It could be said that it was mainly because of her that the Scott Family could survive this time. If she hadn't borrowed the 20 million dollars, the Scott Family would have disappeared.

She waited for her grandfather Richard's praise and looked happy.

However, after Richard stood up, he did not mention her once and gave all the credit to Zack, "It is right. Thanks to Zack that our Scott Family could survive the disaster this time. It was he who stood up for the Scott Family at the most crisis time and held up the debtors. During this period of time, he has been busy for the company and gained many great orders for the company. Come on, let's all give Zack a round of applause!"

After that, he began to take the lead in applauding Zack.

Phoebe frowned. She was very uncomfortable. She knew that her grandfather, Richard, was biased, but it went too far this time.

She endured and did not let it out. She hoped that grandpa could mention her, even one word.

However, she waited for a long time, and her grandfather did not mention her at all, and his eyes glancing at her were also very cold.

Why? She was not convinced. She was really dissatisfied.

But she had a quiet personality. Although she was very uncomfortable, she did not stand up and retort.

The family business was starting to make money, so it was fine if she didn't take credit for it. However, what grandpa said next was unacceptable to her.

"As I said earlier, Zack gets the most credit for the family's survival, so we need to redistribute the shares." Richard paused and said, "James's family has too many shares, accounting for fifteen percent. This is not fair to everyone. I decided to weaken James's ten percent of shares and transfer it to Zack."

"What?!" Phoebe couldn't help but stand up and say, "Grandpa, why are you cutting our shares?!"

Victor immediately slammed the table and scolded, "Phoebe, what's your attitude? Who taught you to yell at your grandfather like this? Rude!"

Richard's face darkened as well. He stared at Phoebe and said, "You should only have 5 % of the shares."

Phoebe clenched her fists and said, "But grandpa, you promised me that as long as I borrowed 20 million from Mr. Cook, you would give us 10 % more shares!"

"Yes, dad, we indeed said that..." James said reluctantly.

"Shut up!" Richard's cold eyes flew over, and James's face turned pale. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"How dare you say that?" Richard said with a cold face, "Now everyone outside is saying that there is a fickle woman in our Scott Family. You have ruined the reputation of our Scott Family!"

Phoebe said excitedly, "I didn't! I've already explained to you that the chairman of the ZQ Company didn't touch me. I'm innocent!"

Zack said in a strange tone, "It sounds great. Who would believe it? Do you really think we're idiots? Since he's the Chairman of ZQ Company, he didn't touch you but lend you 20 million dollars for nothing?"

Phoebe still wanted to argue. Richard slapped the table and said, "Okay, that's it. Phoebe, you can stay at home and share the dividends from now on. You don't have to work at the company anymore."

Hearing this, Phoebe couldn't help but burst into tears and rushed out of the conference room.

After the family meeting ended, Zack became the biggest winner. To celebrate it, that night, he went to Malcolm's casino to get pleasure.

He thought he was lucky enough to win a lot of money recently. However, in less than two hours, he lost back the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had won earlier, and he was not willing to stop gambling, intending to win back what he had lost and then quit. But his luck seemed to have run out in the first two days, and in less than an hour, he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars again!

In this way, he put in all the dividends of the company a while ago.

How could he accept this fact? He gritted his teeth on the spot and borrowed 500,000 from the casino to continue gambling.

However, the 500,000 dollars was completely lost in less than half an hour.

Seeing this, his friend advised him not to gamble anymore, but he rudely pushed his friend away. His friend was also angry and watched coldly as he lost.

At the end of the day, Zack lost three million dollars!

Three million was already a big sum for him. He didn't dare to tell anyone. If grandpa Richard found out, his legs would be broken.

But Malcolm's money, he did not dare to delay. After all, Malcolm was famous for being ruthless in H City. Once he offended Malcolm, he would not be able to survive in H City.

So he secretly got half a million dollars in the company, one hundred thousand of which was the interest paid to Malcolm, and the other four hundred thousand dollars was used as a gambling capital, intending to win back what he lost yesterday, and then stopped gambling!

But he had already jumped in. There was no reason for him to escape so easily. Without any doubt, he lost another five million today!

He borrowed 4.5 million dollars from Malcolm, plus the previous three million dollars, which was 7.5 million dollars. The interest in a day was more than 200,000 dollars.

He was almost crazy. How could he afford it?

But he had to pay it back, so he gritted his teeth and stole another million dollars from the company, of which 300,000 was the interest paid to Malcolm, and the remaining 700,000 was still used as a bet, hoping to win back everything he lost.

Did he win back? Of course, it was impossible. On this day, he lost the most. Not only did he give out the 700,000 dollars, but he also lost eight million more! Taking into account the previous 7.5 million dollars, he owed Malcolm a total of 15.55 million dollars. The interest for a day would cost millions.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore.
