The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 44

Tonight was the Scott Family's monthly dinner gathering. Zack had been absent-minded and pale-faced, often in a daze and cold sweat.

"Zack, are you sick? You look so pale." Victor asked with a frown.

Zack looked ahead in a daze and did not answer Victor, which made Victor worried. He pressed his hand against Zack's forehead and said in surprise, "Your forehead is so cold. But you are sweating?"

When the others heard this, they all turned their heads.

"Ah?" Only then did Zack come to his senses and hurriedly shook his head, "I, I'm fine."

Victor said worriedly, "You said you were fine. But you're sweating. Did something happen?"

"Zack. You have to tell the family."

Zack squeezed out a smile and said, "How can I bump into the bad thing? I just stayed at the company last night to work overtime and accidentally stayed up all night. I'll be fine if I rest early tonight. Don't worry."

When Victor heard this, he frowned slightly and was a little suspicious. After all, Zack was his son and he knew his son's character very well since his childhood. Zack was lazy by nature. He often skipped classes at school and went to work once in a while after graduation. He didn't seem to be the person who could stay in the company all night working overtime.

However, Zack did come home very late these days. He had not returned home all night last night. Victor once thought that Zack had hung out with his friends, but now it seemed that he misunderstood Zack.

For a moment, he was filled with joy, thinking Zack had finally become mature. He patted Zack on the shoulder and said, "Work is indeed important. But you have to pay attention to your health. You can't burn yourself out, okay?"

Others also added, "Yes, Zack, you are now the soul of our Scott Family, and we, the Scott Family, are still waiting for you to be carried forward."

Zack was cheered up by their praises. A smile appeared on his face again. He was not as decadent as before.

On Phoebe's side, she was not in a state of mind either. She had been absent-minded and frowned. Frankly speaking, she didn't want to come over for the family dinner tonight. Now that she saw Richard, Victor, and others' ugly faces, she felt disgusted. But her father James kept urging her to come. Though she was reluctant, she had to come.

She didn't tell Tom about this because she thought there was no need. What if she told Tom? Could Tom play any role?

Seeing that she was so unhappy, Tom gently cared for her and asked if she had encountered something unhappy, but Phoebe ignored him. After he said a few more words, she became impatient with him. "Tom, you are annoying! I said I was okay. Besides, even if I'm really bullied, can you help me?"

Two days ago in the family conference room, she was deprived of her shares in the company and kicked out of the board of directors. She was still in a bad mood. Being asked by Tom several times, she was even more agitated. Her voice became louder, which made many Scott Family members hear it and sneer.

"Look, isn't this James's useless son-in-law? Why was he scolded by Phoebe again? Haha..."

"Haha, isn't this their routine? Phoebe was kicked out of the board of directors two days ago, and now she can't do anything but vent her anger on him and blame him. What a pair of weirdos."

"It's a shame to see them. A useless husband who hasn't been able to find a job for four years. A skittish woman who sleeps with men. Perfect match. Hahaha..."

"It is a perfect match."

"Speaking of which, this is our Scott Family dinner gathering. Why is he here as a son-in-law?"
