Chapter 33
Chapter 33
All of them forced Tom and vented their anger on Tom, each with a hateful countenance. As long as
Tom dared to refuse, they would rush up and pin him down.
Tom clenched his fists. He was also very angry. Richard and the other members of the Scott Family
reminded him of the Howard Family. At that time, the whole Howard Family forced him to kneel just like
this!
"Why should I kneel? What did I say wrong? I refuse to accept it!" Tom's eyes turned crimson, and his
face blushed.
Richard, as the head of the family, was extremely angry because of being contradicted by Tom, the
useless husband of Phoebe, "If I want you to kneel, you have to kneel. Is it important that you refuse?
Zack, Logan, hold him down. I not only want him to kneel but also want to break his legs!"
Under Richard's instruction, Zack and Logan went over and held Tom's shoulder. They pressed their
knees against Tom's legs and forced Tom to kneel.
Tom resisted desperately, his eyes dilating with fury. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Phoebe
said, "Stop it!"
No one paid any attention to her. She took out the check that Tom had written to her from her bag and
shouted, "If any of you still makes trouble for Tom, I'll tear up the check for twenty million dollars!"
Her voice was so loud that it cracked. Hearing the word "twenty million," everyone stopped and looked
at Phoebe. When they saw the check in Phoebe's hand, they all showed a fervent expression.
"This is..."
"A check for 20 million dollars?"
"What's going on? Didn't Phoebe get the sex-for-money deal with Mr. Cook, did she?"
"Was Mr. Cook so quick that he reached an orgasm in such a short while?"
Logan let go of Tom and walked up to Phoebe. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Sis, you really
borrowed 20 million. It's amazing! Sis, can I see the check? I haven't seen a 20-million check in my
life."
As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the check from Phoebe's hand.
Phoebe patted his hand away and said coldly, "Get off! Don't touch it!"
Pursing his lips, Logan was very unhappy. He muttered in a low voice, "Tsk, what's the big deal?"
At this moment, Zack also came over with a flattering smile, "Phoebe, is this really a check for 20
million dollars? It's quite awesome!"
Phoebe said expressionlessly, "Didn't you just dismiss me as an ungrateful person who was unwilling
to repay the Scott Family? Didn't you call me a good-for-nothing and wish to kick me out of the Scott
Family? Why don't you scold me now?"
Zack's mouth twitched a bit. He was so angry, but he didn't dare to vent his anger. He had to force a
reluctant and funny smile, "I was just joking with you. You're my cousin who grew up with me together.
Even if you couldn't borrow 20 million dollars, can I really blame you?"
Phoebe sneered and said, "Really? That's great. I lied to you just now. I offended Mr. Cook and failed
to borrow 20 million."
Zack's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to scold Phoebe. However, he suddenly saw Phoebe's
sneer. Not stupid, he immediately realized that Phoebe was lying to him. He cursed in his heart, "Little
bitch! Give her an inch and she'll take an ell!"
Although Zack and Phoebe were cousins, they didn't have a good relationship. Phoebe had been
bullied by Zack since she was a child. After Phoebe married Tom, Zack was also the one who bullied
Tom the most in the whole Scott Family.
At this moment, Richard walked over and smiled kindly. He said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, grandpa has
always had high expectations for you since you were a child. Sure enough, you didn't disappoint
grandpa. You really borrowed 20 million dollars. Thank you for your hard work. Let grandpa see the
check."
Phoebe wanted to say something but didn't say anything finally. She handed the check to Richard.
The others also gathered around to see what the 20-million-dollars check was like!
Richard was also very excited. He carefully spread out the check and saw the number of 20 million on
it!
In an instant, everyone else held their breath with greed in their eyes. Twenty million dollars was a
huge sum of money, enough for each of them to live a good life!
"Hurry up, call and see if this check is valid!" Richard was so excited that his hands trembled when he
ordered Zack to call the bank.
Zack also blushed with excitement. He quickly took out his cell phone and called, "Hello, please help
me find out what kind of bank I can go to to cash my check. The serial number is..."
Zack turned on the hands-free mode. Everyone quieted down and listened. After a while, they heard
the sweet voice of the bank's staff, "Hello, your check is valid. You can cash it at any bank in the
country."
Extremely excited, they all took a deep breath. Richard carefully kept it for fear that he would
accidentally tear it up and fail to cash it.
The Scott Family was too poor now. For them, 20 million dollars was not just money but more of the
hope of sustaining the Scott Family. With this money, the ruptured capital chain of the company could
be reconnected, and the company could operate normally again.
Tom smiled disdainfully when he saw them like this. Because they had never seen the elephant before,
they would be so excited at only 20 million dollars. If they saw more than 50 billion dollars, would they
all faint? Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Phoebe, how did you borrow the 20 million dollars? Didn't Mr. Cook want you to stay with him for three
days?"
"Yes, Phoebe, what the hell is going on?"
They all expressed their doubts, and even Elizabeth and James were curious.
Phoebe said expressionlessly, "I didn't stay with Mr. Cook."
"What!"
"This..."
All surprised, they asked Phoebe what happened, afraid that Phoebe had offended Mr. Cook.
Then Phoebe told them what happened tonight. Of course, she didn't give out some details, including
the chairman of the ZQ Media with a clown mask, the hug she gave him, and her crush for him.
Richard and the others were stunned after hearing this. It was hard to understand why the chairman of
the ZQ Media lent 20 million dollars to Phoebe for nothing. What did he want? Was there any chaste
man in the world who would refuse such a beautiful woman?
Looking at each other, they didn't believe it. Although they didn't say anything, they thought that
Phoebe must hide something to avoid embarrassment. She said that the chairman of ZQ Company
didn't sleep with her, but maybe she had already lost her virginity to him! Besides, Tom was still here.
No matter how useless Tom was, he was also Phoebe's husband. It was reasonable for Phoebe to be
embarrassed.
"What about the IOU? Was it written for three years without interest?" Zack thought of this and asked
hurriedly.
Phoebe said, "No IOU."
Hearing this, they were even more certain that Phoebe must have had intimacy with the chairman of
ZQ Company. Moreover, Phoebe must have left him with a good impression so he wouldn't even
require an IOU.
Phoebe already knew what they were thinking at the sight of their expressions, but she didn't bother to
explain. It was hard to convince them, so there was no point in explaining. Anyway, she didn't have an
affair with the chairman.
She couldn't help but look at Tom in the corner. When she saw that Tom even smiled without any
sadness or regret, she was furious. How could he be so coward? He was indifferent even when hearing
that his wife had slept with another man!
