The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 87

Seeing this message, Phoebe was stunned and recovering from her chaotic mind a little bit.

This WhatsApp message was from Tom.

Looking at the words on the screen, Phoebe's feelings became more complicated. Tom's honest and sincere face appeared in her mind.

Was it hurt for Tom if she does this?

Martin took a few steps and noticed that she did not follow him. He turned around and smiled, "Miss Scott, are you still embarrassed under the circumstances?"

Phoebe's mind flashed with all kinds of thoughts and images. Finally, she looked up and said, "Mr. Gablehauser, your financing matters a lot. I can't make the decision alone. I'd better wait for my grandfather to come over and sign the contract with you personally!"

Martin's face immediately darkened, "Phoebe, are you kidding me?"

Zack, who had walked to the door, was also anxious. He immediately walked back and pulled Phoebe angrily, "Phoebe, what are you doing?"

Phoebe said, "I can't do this. I'm a person, not a tool."

Zack was even angrier, "So you just watched the capital chain of SK Company rupture, right? Then the Scott Family will go bankrupt, and all the families will get into trouble! Phoebe, don't forget that the legal representative of the company is your father now. If SK Company goes bankrupt, your father will be the first who suffers!"

Yes, the situation of the Scott Family was very bad now. The capital rupture facing them was more serious than the last time. Both the bank and their partners had refused to lend so much money to them, let alone finding someone else who could finance them. Fawning on Martin was the only chance to sustain SK Company.

"Zack! What right do you have to say that? I have already borrowed 20 million from the chairman of ZQ Company to help Scott Family out of the trouble. It was you who pushed the Scott Family into such a situation to satisfy your own desire! You are to blame for the situation of the Scott Family!" Phoebe said angrily.

Zack's eyes were cold, with no guilt in there, "I just appropriated 10 million dollars from our family. What's the big deal? Besides, if I hadn't worked hard and win Martin over after falling into the all-time low, would the Scott Family get the funding of one hundred million dollars? With the funding, the Scott Family will become more and more prosperous and reach an unprecedented peak! I'm not to blame for the situation of the Scott Family. Instead, I'm a major contributor to the Scott Family! Also, Phoebe, don't forget that your father is the legal representative of the company. If SK Company goes bankrupt, he's going to be jailed!"

Even though Phoebe had already known about Zack's shamelessness, she was still angry with his words.

Phoebe took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Then she said, "It's none of your business. I will take my father's place as the legal representative. In these three days, I will try my best to raise money to help the Scott Family through the crisis, not in this way."

"You!" Zack was furious, "Phoebe, why do you refuse? You have agreed yesterday."

This was what he couldn't understand.

Phoebe didn't answer his question. Did she refuse because of Tom or the chairman of ZQ Company? The answer didn't matter anymore.

She turned around and left.

At this moment, a sneer came from behind, "Since you don't appreciate my kindness at all, I have to teach you a lesson. You can't come and leave my place at your will. Catch her for me."

It was Martin. As he spoke, four bodyguards immediately came out from both sides and stopped Phoebe from leaving.

Suddenly, Phoebe's face changed, "Mr. Gablehauser, what do you mean?"

Martin walked back to Phoebe with a playful expression, "Phoebe, you're a smart person. Of course, you understand what I mean. I don't have to say some things straight."

Phoebe's face flashed with a trace of panic. She tried to calm herself down and stared at Martin, "Mr. Gablehauser, this is a society ruled by law. There are cameras everywhere. I advise you not to be reckless or to challenge the authority of the law."

"Huh..." Martin laughed as if he had heard a big joke. His face was full of disdain and ridicule. He said to Zack, "Are all your Scott Family members so naive?"

Zack said, "It takes all sorts to make a world, but people as naive as she is rare."

Then, Zack said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, I advise you not to be stupid. Sign the contract with Mr. Gablehauser obediently. Don't try to run away. Otherwise, you will suffer."

Phoebe panicked immediately, "Zack, do you have humanity? I'm your sister! How can you throw me to the wolves!"

"Huh, what are you talking about? I'm doing it for your own good. Mr. Gablehauser is of high status. Isn't it better to be a mistress of him than live with Tom, your useless husband?" Zack said with a smile.

Martin was a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't have too much patience. Hurry in and talk about the contract. I have something to do later."

Yes, he asked Kaylie out for dinner tonight.

Ever since he proposed marriage to Kaylie, Colton had tried his best to get the two of them together. Colton regarded him as an ideal son-in-law with outstanding ability and a good character. In Colton's view, It was a blessing for Kaylie to marry Martin. Colton didn't know that Martin such a despicable man at all.

Phoebe gritted her teeth and turned to run.

However, she couldn't outrun those nimble bodyguards. She had just run few steps before she was caught.

Martin was instantly amused, "Oh, how dare you run? It seems that you are quite unyielding. Coincidentally, I like this type."

Martin smiled and walked over, reaching out to touch Phoebe's face.

Phoebe's face changed drastically. She was completely flustered. She struggled desperately, but she couldn't wrench herself free. There was no room for resistance. "Martin! Stop it, or I'll call the police!"

"Huh, call the police?" Martin reached out and slid his hand gently on Phoebe's face. He exclaimed, "How smooth your skin is! You are indeed the best of the three beauties in H City. Miss Scott, in fact, I have been fascinated by you for a long time."

Phoebe was even more anxious. Now she regretted. If she had anticipated what happened to her, she would have asked Tom to accompany her over!

Thinking of the message that Tom had just sent her, she had a little hope in her heart. Perhaps Tom could come to save her in time.

Soon, she denied this vain hope. She came here without telling Tom. How could Tom know the location?

"Zack! I'm your sister, but you leave me to him! Are you still a human being?" Phoebe panicked.

However, Zack ignored her at all. He shook his head and pretended not to hear her. He was cold and heartless.

Phoebe struggled desperately, but she couldn't free herself. She was so scared and helpless that she began to cry.

Finally, a knock on the door broke the atmosphere in the room.

Martin immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Who can't read the vibe is knocking on the door?"
