The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 117

Seeing her speaking on the phone, they all quieted down for fear that one extra sound would affect the conversation between Phoebe and Rory.

Now, there was no way out for them.

To be honest, they were not very capable people. They had always relied on SK Company for survival. Every year, they would get decent dividends, which allowed them to live a comfortable life. They were also rich people in their social circle.

But once SK Company was closed down, they would lose the dividends, and most of their financial resources would be gone. They would suddenly become poor, which was not something they could accept!

That was the nature of human beings. It was easy to go from thrift to extravagance, but it was very difficult to go down from extravagance to thrift.

So when they found out that Zack managed to get a large investment and Phoebe had ruined it, they all regarded Phoebe as their enemy!

To put it in an exaggerating way, if killing people was legal, they would even kill Phoebe to vent their anger.

The Scotts was not some big family, but it had made the mistake that all big families did, that was, there were only interests and no friendships, and anyone who undermined the interests of the family was an enemy.

The call got through, and Rory's voice came through the phone, "Phoebe?"

Rory was a little surprised when he received Phoebe's call. He hurriedly signaled the person sleeping beside him to keep quiet, then walked aside to answer the phone.

Phoebe took a deep breath and said, "Rory, you promised me last time that you would invest 50 million dollars in our company to buy 30% of our shares. Do you remember?"

Hearing this, Rory frowned instantly and the smile on his face disappeared, and he became gloomy.

Why did Phoebe just mention this? How could he afford to invest 50 million now?

Not to mention whether he could provide the money or not, it was the business itself that was not cost-effective. SK Company owned by the Scotts was not a big company in the first place. To put it bluntly, it was just a factory producing decoration equipment for the lights. All the assets of the company added together were only worth thirty or forty million dollars. And only a fool would purchase 30 % of the shares with 50 million dollars.

What he said before was just to please Phoebe and take advantage of her.

Besides, Rory just went to see Mr. Potter yesterday and gave Mr. Potter a large sum of money to buy Tom's life. Now he wouldn't spend 50 million dollars to finance the SK Company.

So he immediately said in a dilemma, "Well, I'm a little short of money recently. I can't offer that much money."

Phoebe was stunned, and then she immediately became nervous, "Ah? Rory, but you said before that you were willing to invest 50 million dollars. It's only been two days. Why are you suddenly so short of money?"

Rory's voice became cold, "Phoebe, are you doubting me?"

"Rory, that's not what I meant!" Phoebe quickly apologized. She then said, "Rory, how much can you provide now? My Family is in a difficult situation now. We need your help."

Phoebe felt very uncomfortable when she said this. It was as if she had been stabbed by needles. What a proud person she was. It was a great challenge for her to say this!

She felt her face blushing.

Others sitting in the conference room also held their breath, opened their eyes, and listened attentively.

However, Rory sneered and did not answer Phoebe's question directly. Instead, he said in a teasing voice, "Phoebe, you don't have to ask me, do you? Your Tom is very capable. The blue and white porcelain made in the Ming dynasty worth thirty million dollars has been easily thrown away by him. You can turn to him."

Because Phoebe turned on the speaker, Rory's voice over the phone was heard by all, which made them dumbed.

What was going on?

Tom, that loser, actually had a piece of blue and white porcelain made in the Ming dynasty worth 30 million dollars, and he actually broke it?

All of a sudden, their expressions became very emotional!
