The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 80

"Phoebe, it's time to go home."

After Tom repaired the car, he drove over to pick up Phoebe from work.

Phoebe did not hear him and continued to walk forward, looking absent-minded.

There happened to be a small pit ahead. Phoebe stepped on it and accidentally stumbled and bumped into a woman in heavy makeup. She was applying lipstick when it happened, so she got the lipstick on her face instead.

The woman was furious and scolded, "You're blind, aren't you?"

Phoebe, who was distracted, was immediately woken up. Seeing that she had done something wrong, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to where I was going. It was all my fault."

"What do I need your apologizing for? You've ruined my makeup. I'm on my way to an important business meeting!" The other woman crossed her waist, her face full of sarcasm and bitterness. She pointed at Phoebe's nose and cursed. Her saliva flew everywhere. You could tell at a glance that she was one of those uncivilized women. "I'm telling you, you need to pay for my loss immediately, or I won't spare you!"

Phoebe frowned. She felt a little regretful. Why was she distracted when she was walking just now? Now that she got into trouble, it made her even more upset, especially when so many people were watching, which made her very embarrassed. She was a thin-skinned person, and she didn't like to be surrounded, so she had to say, "It's my fault for ruining your makeup. How much do you want?"

A surprise flashed through the woman's eyes and she reached out a finger. "This number."

"A thousand dollars?" Phoebe frowned slightly. It was a little too much. She just bumped into her gently, and the lipstick barely scratched her face. It could easily be wiped off with a tissue, far from ruining her makeup. Besides, judging by her temperament and clothes, she probably worked at a club, so it was impossible that she was telling the truth. However, it was indeed her fault. Phoebe was not an unreasonable person, so she took out her phone from her purse and said, "I don't have that much cash on me. I'll transfer it to you."

However, the other party said disdainfully, "A thousand dollars? Do I look a beggar to you? I meant one hundred thousand dollars!"

"One hundred thousand!" Phoebe suddenly cried out in a low voice. It was totally unreasonable. No! This was more than unreasonable, but extortion.

The crowd around them also exclaimed. One hundred thousand dollars, that was too much.

"That's right. One hundred thousand dollars. Not a penny less or I'll make you feel sorry for it." The heavily made-up woman said threateningly.

Phoebe gritted her teeth and said, "It's just a little lipstick on your face. Just wipe it off with a tissue. It's 100,000 dollars you are asking for. That is blackmail!"

The heavily made-up woman's face darkened. "Extortion? Bitch, watch your mouth! You really don't have no respect for me, Sister Thirteen, do you? You bumped into me first and caused me to lose a important business. I just ask for 100,000 dollars now. How dare you accuse me of extortion? I guess you need a lesson to know who I am!"

She walked over with a grim smile, raised her hand and was about to slap Phoebe's face in a quite arrogant manner.

Phoebe had always been well-behaved since she was a child. She had never been in a fight and only had few quarrels. So in this case, she immediately turned pale with fear. She did not even know to dodge and stood still waiting for it coming.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly appeared and accurately grabbed the hand of the heavily made-up woman. "How dare you hit someone on the street?"

It was Tom. When he came out of the crowd and saw that the other party was going to hit Phoebe, he immediately became angry.
