Seeing this message, Phoebe was stunned and recovering from her chaotic mind a little bit.
This WhatsApp message was from Tom.
Looking at the words on the screen, Phoebe's feelings became more complicated. Tom's honest and sincere face appeared in her mind.
Was it hurt for Tom if she does this?
Martin took a few steps and noticed that she did not follow him. He turned around and smiled, "Miss Scott, are you still embarrassed under the circumstances?"
Phoebe's mind flashed with all kinds of thoughts and images. Finally, she looked up and said, "Mr. Gablehauser, your financing matters a lot. I can't make the decision alone. I'd better wait for my grandfather to come over and sign the contract with you personally!"
Martin's face immediately darkened, "Phoebe, are you kidding me?"
Zack, who had walked to the door, was also anxious. He immediately walked back and pulled Phoebe angrily, "Phoebe, what are you doing?"
Phoebe said, "I can't do this. I'm a person, not a tool."
Zack was even angrier, "So you just watched the capital chain of SK Company rupture, right? Then the Scott Family will go bankrupt, and all the families will get into trouble! Phoebe, don't forget that the legal representative of the company is your father now. If SK Company goes bankrupt, your father will be the first who suffers!"
Yes, the situation of the Scott Family was very bad now. The capital rupture facing them was more serious than the last time. Both the bank and their partners had refused to lend so much money to them, let alone finding someone else who could finance them. Fawning on Martin was the only chance to sustain SK Company.
"Zack! What right do you have to say that? I have already borrowed 20 million from the chairman of ZQ Company to help Scott Family out of the trouble. It was you who pushed the Scott Family into such a situation to satisfy your own desire! You are to blame for the situation of the Scott Family!" Phoebe said angrily.
Zack's eyes were cold, with no guilt in there, "I just appropriated 10 million dollars from our family. What's the big deal? Besides, if I hadn't worked hard and win Martin over after falling into the all-time low, would the Scott Family get the funding of one hundred million dollars? With the funding, the Scott Family will become more and more prosperous and reach an unprecedented peak! I'm not to blame for the situation of the Scott Family. Instead, I'm a major contributor to the Scott Family! Also, Phoebe, don't forget that your father is the legal representative of the company. If SK Company goes bankrupt, he's going to be jailed!"
Even though Phoebe had already known about Zack's shamelessness, she was still angry with his words.
Phoebe took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Then she said, "It's none of your business. I will take my father's place as the legal representative. In these three days, I will try my best to raise money to help the Scott Family through the crisis, not in this way."
"You!" Zack was furious, "Phoebe, why do you refuse? You have agreed yesterday."
This was what he couldn't understand.
Phoebe didn't answer his question. Did she refuse because of Tom or the chairman of ZQ Company? The answer didn't matter anymore.
She turned around and left.
At this moment, a sneer came from behind, "Since you don't appreciate my kindness at all, I have to teach you a lesson. You can't come and leave my place at your will. Catch her for me."
It was Martin. As he spoke, four bodyguards immediately came out from both sides and stopped Phoebe from leaving.
Suddenly, Phoebe's face changed, "Mr. Gablehauser, what do you mean?"
Martin walked back to Phoebe with a playful expression, "Phoebe, you're a smart person. Of course, you understand what I mean. I don't have to say some things straight."
