The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 248

Elizabeth couldn't stand it anymore, gasping. Her heart broke when she saw Phoebe being slapped!

"That's right. If you had done this earlier, how could she have suffered? Haha!" Mark laughed loudly in an overbearing manner.

"Mom! No! Don't call Tom. I beg you!" Phoebe burst out.

Grace said sarcastically, "Well, Sister Phoebe, it turns out that you're so deeply in love with Tom. Why are you still protecting him at this moment? Tsk, tsk, how I envy you guys!"

Elizabeth said, "I'm calling Tom right now and will ask him to come over. Please don't hurt my daughter again. Please."

Trembling, she took out the phone from her pocket and was about to make a call.

Phoebe shouted even more agitatedly and hysterically, "Mom! I beg you. Don't call Tom ever. He'll die, no..."

Phoebe was crying so pitifully. Her face was wet with tears, which was heartbreaking to watch.

However, apart from Elizabeth and James, no one else would show pity on her at all. Grace, on the other hand, smiled even more brightly. She was flushed with excitement. The more miserable Phoebe became, the happier she was!

Elizabeth also got angry and scolded loudly, "Phoebe, are you out of your mind? Why are you still covering for Tom at this point? He's clearly the trouble maker! Why should we be on the receiving end of everything! If he really loved you, he wouldn't divorce you, nor would he throw us under the bus, yet you're still covering for him. Are you insane?"

Phoebe clenched her teeth and burst into tears. In fact, she didn't know why she had to protect Tom like this. Apparently, she didn't love Tom, but she was still covering for him. She also suspected that she was crazy.

However, she could never betray Tom or watch him being tortured with her own eyes!

"Mom, Tom has saved me, as well as our family many times. We can't do this to him," Phoebe pleaded.

Mark flared up immediately. He grabbed Phoebe's hair, jerked her face up, and snarled, "You chose to solve the problem the hard way. At this stage, you can't betray him because he has saved you a lot of times, right? It seems that if I don't give you a lesson, you won't realize the gravity of the situation!"

Mark was about to continue beating Phoebe as he spoke.

Seeing that, Elizabeth cried like crazy, "Don't hit her! Don't hit her! I'm calling Tom right now! I'm calling Tom right now..."

Only then did Mark let go of Phoebe. When Elizabeth was making the call, he snatched the phone from her. Soon, Mark got through and Tom's voice came on the line, "Hello, mom, are you looking for me?"

Since Mark turned on the speaker, Tom's voice was heard by everyone. When Phoebe heard it, her pupils contracted.

Mark smiled maliciously and said to the phone, "Tom, finally I've got you. You're so mysterious."

Tom was in a meeting at the new advertising company. He was curious to get a call from Elizabeth because usually, she rarely called him, so it was abnormal for her to make a sudden call to him at this moment.

But when he answered the phone, a man's voice came from the other end of the line, and it sounded a little familiar.

Soon, Tom recognized that it was Mark's voice!

Tom stood up from his chair instantly, and startled everyone else in the conference room.
