Chapter 46
Zack shuddered and panicked. Tom, the beast, dared to expose him!
Richard immediately glanced at Zack. Zack was so scared under the pressure that he almost peed. "Bullshit!" Victor immediately slapped the table, pointed at Tom and scolded, "You loser. Are you looking for death? How dare you splash dirty water on my son? I think you're audacious in the extreme!"
The other Scott Family members also glared at Tom and said all kinds of insults.
Phoebe was shocked by Tom's behavior. This guy really made things difficult for her. Who gave him the courage to stand up and belittle Zack?
She quickly pulled Tom down and scolded him angrily, "Tom, you want to die! You don't feel comfortable not causing trouble for me for one day, do you?"
James and Elizabeth also blamed him with bad words. Elizabeth's fingers kept poking him on the forehead, almost piercing his skin
Zack, who had been panicky, saw that everyone was pointing at Tom instead of suspecting him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly relaxed and his eyes kept rolling. At this time, his mind was clearer than ever and worked very fast. He thought of an idea and smiled smugly.
Tom sighed and said, "I didn't wrongly accuse him. He was the one who used the ten million dollars. Didn't you notice that he didn't behave well just now? He broke out into a cold sweat while eating. When his father received the call, he was so scared that he fell to the ground. Anyone could tell that he must have done it."
Phoebe frowned when she heard his analysis. She realized that Zack's reaction just now was really abnormal, which was obviously a sign of guilt. Besides, not everyone had the right to transfer the ten million dollars.
"Bullshit!" Zack yelled excitedly. "I'm sweating because I stayed at the company all night working overtime and didn't get a good rest! Tom, I know you have a grudge against me and think I encouraged your wife to accompany another man, so you just slander me and splash dirty water on me, right?"
He grabbed a teacup on the table and threw it at Tom. "I'm telling you, Tom. If you don't kneel down and apologize to me, I won't spare you!"
Tom's face darkened. Zack, the beast, actually hit him directly. If Tom hadn't reacted quickly and dodged in time, he would have been hurt.
All the Scott Family members glared at Tom in unison, feeling that Tom was a thorn in the eye and wanted Tom to die.
"How presumptuous! How dare a useless matrilocal guy stir up trouble and splash dirty water on Zack!"
"I have long seen that Tom is very petty. He must have always been jealous of Zack's excellence. Now that he has seized the opportunity and bites Zack like a mad dog.”
"Disgusting! That's disgusting!"
All of them cursed at Tom. Suddenly the target changed, "Hey, tell me, did Tom splash dirty water on Zack because Phoebe ordered him to do so?"
"What do you mean?”
"It's very simple. Two days ago, Phoebe was stripped of ten points of shares and kicked out of the chairman. She rushed out on the spot. She must be holding a grudge.”
"Damn, that makes sense. Otherwise, Tom, this trash, wouldn't have the guts to splash dirty water on Zack? We'll break his legs!"
For a moment, they all focused on Phoebe and said some unpleasant words.
Phoebe's face darkened on the spot, but she didn't explain. She bit her lips tightly and clenched her fists. She was very indignant and angry. Her eyes were red and she held back her tears.
When Tom saw this, he felt very uncomfortable. He became angrier and angrier and disgusted with the attitudes of the Scott Family!
He reached out and held Phoebe's hand. "Phoebe, don't worry. With me around, I won't let you be wronged."
Phoebe raised her head abruptly, not suppressing her emotions. She slapped Tom hard on the face. "Tom, shut up! I've had enough of you! How many times have I told you not to make trouble for me? You just ignored my words! This is your revenge on me, isn't it? You still have the face to say that you won't let me be wronged. How can you protect me from being wronged?!"
This slap was so loud that it confused Tom.
When the others saw it, they gloated and even clapped their hands, especially Zack. He was not worried or panicky anymore but smiled. Tom was really a fool. He had no brain at all. He still wanted to expose him with such intelligence. How ridiculous! In fact, he helped him get rid of the suspicion, okay?
Richard knocked on the table and said, "All right. All right. Calm down. For the last time, tell me who used the ten million dollars and what happened. Stand up for me and honestly admit. I won't punish him or her if the money is back.”
He said so, but everyone knew that it was impossible.
Zack withdrew his head again. No matter what, he couldn't stand up and admit it.
Just then, Victor suddenly said, "Where's Logan? Why didn't he come today?"
Logan was Phoebe's younger brother. He was always coming to the Scott Family dinner, but he wasn't there today.
James said, "Oh, Logan is studying at school. He's going to have an exam soon."
"Studying? I don't think it's that simple!" Victor said coldly, "Everyone knows what Logan. Has he studied since he was a child?"
Elizabeth was immediately displeased and said, "Brother, what do you mean? Why did you mention my son when a mole used those ten million dollars?"
Victor said, "As far as I know, Logan didn't study hard these days. He went to gamble, didn't he? Malcolm just happened to run a casino..."
As the words fell, everyone immediately realized that Victor suspected that James had used the ten million dollars.
James's family of three also reacted, especially Phoebe. Her face suddenly darkened.
"Brother, what do you mean? Tell me clearly! Do you suspect that I transferred that ten million?!" James was very angry.
"Isn't that obvious?" Victor sneered and said, "Everyone in your family knows what Logan is like. He's a gangster. He fights every day to pick up girls, drink and gamble. During this time, he has borrowed a lot of money online, right? Don't think he can hide it from everyone.”
Phoebe immediately said, "Uncle, how can you say that we used ten million without any evidence? Logan is immature, and he is a troublemaker. However, his habit of online lending has been changed a long time ago, and I also helped him pay back the money! Besides, I was kicked out of the board the day before yesterday. How could we transfer assets?"
Zack stood up and said with a sneer, "It's because you were kicked out of the board of directors that you are scheming to retaliate against the Scott Family and transfer the funds! You don't have the right to transfer the funds, but your father has it!"
Phoebe was furious. "Zack, stop slinging mud. I didn't want to retaliate against the Scott Family, nor was I ordered to transfer the funds!"
James and Elizabeth were equally excited and stood up to argue.
However, the strength of their three was rather small, and they seemed insignificant and pitiful among the angry voices of the Scott Family.
The more they talked, the more certain they were. They were 100% sure that Phoebe was holding a grudge and transferred her property to retaliate against the Scott Family. Zack also suggested calling the police to arrest the Phoebe family and put them in jail.
However, just then, a group of strong people came in from the gate.
The person who walked in front of him was Malcolm, who had dinner with Tom two days ago.
