Malcolm was a smart person. Although he was big and tall, he had a very delicate mind. He could act according to big shots' expressions. Now that he saw Phoebe, he had already figured out that the chairman of ZQ was interested in Phoebe. No wonder he was asked to cooperate with him. These big shots really have a particular taste.
Richard saw that Malcolm looked serious. The walnuts in his hand were spun faster and faster. He said quickly, "Malcolm, this is a misunderstanding. Phoebe is no longer a member of our Scott Family, so the money she owes has nothing to do with our Scott Family."
When Phoebe heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief. How could grandpa say such a thing? She had paid so much for the Scott Family? Before she graduated from college, she started working in the family's company. She had always been diligent. She never felt tired and had created a lot of value for the family!
If she hadn't sacrificed herself for the family and borrowed 20 million dollars from the chairman of ZQ, would the Scott Family be as successful as today?
Besides, she didn't transfer the ten million at all! It wasn't she who owed Malcolm money. Why did grandpa treat her like this? Wasn't she one of the Scott Family members? Wasn't she grandpa's granddaughter?
The other Scott Family members also disassociate themselves with Phoebe one after another, saying that Phoebe had been married and had nothing to do with the Scott Family. The money she owed was not obligated to be repaid by the Scott Family, and there were also some ruthless people who wanted Phoebe to return 10 million dollars to the Scott Family, or they would call the police and send Phoebe to jail.
Phoebe was expressionless, and her heart was as cold as the frost of June.
At this moment, a warm big hand held her and whispered in her ear, "Honey, you don't have to be sad. Even if the whole world abandons you, I will be with you."
It was Tom. He looked at Phoebe seriously and spoke these words from the bottom of his heart.
Phoebe was moved. Although Tom was useless and caused her a lot of trouble, Tom was really good to her.
But what was the use of being nice to her? She had no feelings for Tom at all. The person she liked was the chairman of ZQ.
"Thank you." Phoebe said softly, sounding distant.
Malcolm said with a strange expression, "Richard, are you sure you want to sever your relationship with the person who owes me a debt?"
Richard was immediately surprised and said hurriedly, "Malcolm, it's not that I want to break up with Phoebe, but that she is indeed married. Technically speaking, she is no longer a member of the Scott Family. So our Scott Family is not obligated to repay the money she owes you. Malcolm, you are a righteous person. You shouldn't force others to do anything that is beyond their power, right?"
Malcolm was also angry. Richard was really too shameless and cold-blooded. In order to shirk responsibility, he actually abandoned his biological granddaughter. It was really shameless.
"Well, since you said so, I will definitely do you a favor." Malcolm said with a fake smile and patted Richard on the shoulder.
Richard was overjoyed and thanked Malcolm several times.
The other Scott Family members were also overjoyed.
James and Elizabeth were very anxious. They were so flustered and disoriented that they said something to blame Phoebe. If Tom hadn't stopped them, James would have slapped Phoebe to vent his anger.
Phoebe was expressionless as if she had lost her soul.
But what Malcolm said later made them all dumbfounded. "In that case, I would put it bluntly. Come up, catch the bastard Zack, and I'll throw him into the sea to feed the sharks! He dares not to pay back my money. He surely doesn't know how to write the word 'death'!"
What was going on?
Zack?
Did they hear it correctly? Wasn't Phoebe the one in debt? How did it become Zack?
Zack, who was in the crowd, had long wanted to slip away. Now that he heard Malcolm's words, he immediately shrank his neck and felt numb. Without a word, he turned around and ran!
He couldn't be caught by Malcolm, or he would really be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Now that he owed Malcolm six and a half million, he couldn't pay back even he sold himself.
But how could he run away? Tom had been watching him. When he ran to his side, Tom suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped Zack. He fell to the ground.
Malcolm finally saw Tom. He immediately became excited. Meeting Tom's eyesight, he understood what Tom meant. He nodded gently and respectfully.
Immediately, two strong men behind Malcolm rushed over and roughly grabbed Zack. They slapped Zack on the face and Zack's face was swollen. "You want to run after you owe the boss money?!"
