The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 85

Half an hour later, in front of a villa, Phoebe frowned and demanded, "aren't we are going to talk with 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 can sign anywhere he wants. Nothing strange."

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

"How do I know? This is Mr. Gablehauser's decision. He's a billionaire. How can I figure out what he's thinking." Zack thought of something and said in a deep voice, "By the way, you can't call him by 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 parents can get away with it? Your father is the legal person of the company, which means he will bear the brunt 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. After all, 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 Tom joined the Scott Family as a matrilocal son-in-law, which was also why she had a "reputation" in H City 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 when he joined the Scott Family.

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

Speaking of which, she had not seen that man for four years. Her decision to marry Tom disheartened 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 suddenly occurred 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.
