The Vengeful Son-in-law

When Phoebe saw this, a look of shock flashed across her eyes and her heart tightened.

Did Tom spend the night here last night?

Was he a fool?

Tom was woken up by the sound of the door opening. He quickly got up. Because he had been in the same position for a long time, his right leg was a little numb, and he staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held the wall in time to not fall down.

"Phoebe, you're awake." Tom said, "Phoebe, you really have to believe me. What happened last night was really a misunderstanding. I admit that I did go to dinner with a female friend last night, but she's a tomboy. I don't know her very well. I ran into her last time I drove to the 4S shop for repairs..."

Tom quickly told Phoebe everything, including how he knew Kaylie. He told her that he had met her last night by chance. It was not his style to stand by while someone was in trouble, so he had touched Kaylie's hair. Apart from that, he and Kaylie barely knew each other.

Phoebe listened to Tom quietly, and she didn't even notice that after she heard it, her agitated and tense mood unwittingly relaxed a lot, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose a little. But she still kept a straight face on purpose and remained aloof. "Did you sleep here last night?"

RYest:

"Why are you so stupid? It's winter. Aren't you cold?"

Tom scratched his head and said, "It's okay. My skin is thick, so I didn't feel cold.”

Seeing him being so silly, Phoebe was not angry at all. But she started to feel a little guilt and regret. Was she too cold-blooded to leave Tom out all night...

"Come in. Take a shower and change into some clothes. I'll prepare breakfast for you.” Phoebe opened the door and let Tom in.

Tom didn't dare to go in and asked carefully, "Can I really go in?"

Phoebe grabbed his clothes and pulled him in, deliberately speaking impatiently, "Just come in Stop talking."

Tom went to take a shower, changed his clothes, and came out to the dining room. He was surprised to see that Phoebe had really made breakfast for him. There was a bow! of hot noodles on the table and he felt he was in a dream.

If he remembered correctly, it was the first time Phoebe had cooked breakfast for him after being married for so long.

At this moment, he was overwhelmed by this special favour.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and eat.”

Tom nodded hard and said with a smile, "Honey, you're so good to me."

Phoebe turned around and deliberately ignored him.

"I'm going to work. Stay at home and have a good rest." Phoebe walked to the door and said.

Tom immediately said, "Honey, I'll go to the company with you."

"Why?" Phoebe frowned.

"I have to go to the company with you. You messed up Zack's investment, and now the entire family hate you. If I don't show up, they would swear at you.” But Tom didn't say what he was thinking. He just said, "I had a good rest last night. And my company is having a holiday today. I'll take you to work."

"No need.” Phoebe rejected him and shook her head, "I can go to work by myself. You do your job." Tom wolfed down the noodles in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Phoebe, I'll take you there. I said I would protect you."

Phoebe immediately frowned. When she saw Tom's stubborn look, she was angry. Tom said he wanted to protect her, but what did he have to protect her?

She knew very well what was waiting for her at the company. People would stare at her and swear at her.

She didn't want Tom to see this, so she planned to face it alone from the beginning. She even didn't want her parents to see this.

"Do whatever you want. Don't disturb me.” Phoebe said coldly and left.

Tom chased after her immediately.

Phoebe stopped and glared at him discontentedly. "Tom, are you insane? Can't you understand what I said?!"

Just now, she was very gentle to Tom, but in the blink of an eye, she became bad to him again.

Tom was used to her being like this and said softly, "Phoebe, I won't let you face this alone.” Phoebe bit tightly her lip. She was touched, but she was seized with a fit of unknown anger. "Tom, do you know what I hate about you the most? You don't know yourself! You don't know who you really are! I don't blame you for not being powerful, but please don't pretend to be like that. In the end, you will make a fool of yourself and embarrass me!"

Tom said hurriedly, "Phoebe, please trust me. I can really help you out this time. Let me take you to work."

Phoebe did not respond to Tom, but gave Tom a cold look. Then she walked out and slammed the door shut.

Tom sighed. Phoebe was really too stubborn.

He knew Phoebe very well. If he insisted on coming with her, Phoebe would be even angrier. The best way would be to take action. When the Scotts made things difficult for Phoebe, he would stand up and help her out. Only then would Phoebe really trust him.

So he called Elliot directly and asked him to go to the Scotts to be ready for whatever it would happen. When Elliot received his message, he should immediately appear.

With everything ready, he began to rush to the company.

Phoebe had just arrived at the company, and before she could enter the conference room, she immediately felt that something was wrong.

She saw at a glance that many of the employees had already left. At least half of them had left, and the company looked much emptier.

And no one was doing their work. They were chatting in twos and threes, looking very lazy and leisurely. Even if they saw her come in, they did not stop talking and did not have the usual reverence for her.

Phoebe had never seen them like this. Even the last time when the company was faced with a huge crisis, these employees were not so presumptuous. She immediately said with a grim face, "What are you doing during work hours? Don't you have work to do?"

In the past, people in the company had been in awe of her. When these employees saw that she was angry, they would be nervous and hurry to work. But now, Phoebe's scolding did not have any reverence. Instead, someone laughed disdainfully.

"The company is going to close down soon. What work do we have?"

"That's right. Those creditors will come to collect the debt in several days.”

"If I didn't have a month's salary, I would have left with Wes and the others.”

"I knew SK Company had no future. I knew I was true.”

They all started to talk despite the fact that Phoebe was here.

Seeing this, Phoebe was very angry. She raised her voice and said, "Shut up! Who said the company is going to close down? The company is in a very good condition!”

"Hehe, Miss Scott, don't lie to yourself. Who doesn't know that SK is experiencing a capital chain rupture and that it is about to go bankrupt? You'd better think about how to deal with the creditors!”

"And our salary! You have to pay us. We are all protected by the labor law.”

Phoebe was very angry when she heard this. These people went too far, but her heart was filled with sadness more. They were right. SK was having a hard time now.

Martin was SK's hope, but she had completely offended him.

She could only count on Rory now. She hoped that Rory would not hate her for what happened yesterday!

Thinking of Rory, she couldn't help but think of Tom. If Tom hadn't exposed Rory’s lies and humiliated Rory so much, Rory would have been willing to finance SK. But now she was not sure.
