According to her behavior, Grace truly had a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions.
Even many of the Scotts took a deep breath and looked at Grace in horror. Their feet were cold.
Grace's were undoubtedly betraying Phoebe. After all, Phoebe was Grace's cousin, who shared the same grandfather. They were related by blood. Even if they didn't get along well with each other, Grace shouldn't have betrayed Phoebe.
Those people were aggressive and bold. Grace was clearly throwing Phoebe under the bus.
After hearing that, Mark's eyes lit up. He immediately said, "Do you know where Tom's wife is?"
Grace smiled and said evilly, "Of course I know."
"Then take me to her!" Mark said.
Grace replied, "If I take you there, what benefits can I get?"
She ogled Mark, who knew her implication clearly. Mark went over and put his arms around Grace's waist and said with a smile, "Of course I'll repay you. When it's done, I will definitely satisfy you."
Mark deliberately emphasized the word "satisfy". The two looked obscene as they acted in collusion with each other.
...
Phoebe and her parents came out of the Scotts Party and went straight home.
Along the way, Phoebe did not speak. She was gloomy and her eyes were red. Anyone could tell that she was in a bad mood.
At that time, Elizabeth did not dare to say anything more. She showed her concern about Phoebe with a few words. After being ignored by Phoebe, she quieted down for fear of offending Phoebe.
When she got home, Phoebe rushed into the room and locked herself up.
Elizabeth sighed heavily and said, "Oh! Why did Tom divorce Phoebe? Phoebe is so beautiful. Is Tom mad?"
James glared at Elizabeth and scolded, "Thanks to you!"
Elizabeth said angrily, "Why did you say that? Explain to me clearly!"
It was rare for James not to be timid. He widened his eyes and said loudly, "Did I say anything wrong? For the past few years, you humiliated and insulted Tom every day. Without your stupid behaviors, would he divorce Phoebe? I think you are at least 80% responsible for what happened today!"
Elizabeth was stunned. After being married for so long, James had never been so fierce to her. She shrank her neck and her aura weakened a lot. She said, "Why are you so fierce? You used to humiliate him a lot. At that time, Tom was really a loser. Who knew he would get lucky and make a fortune?"
Elizabeth felt aggrieved and confused. She really couldn't understand how a loser like Tom could become rich overnight. That was unrealistic!
She was now rather regretful. If she had known this day would come, she would not have humiliated Tom. Alas!
James said, "Every dog has its day. That's true! Who would have thought that Phoebe's ex-husband would be so successful?"
At that moment, James felt very depressed and mocked himself.
