Chapter 85
Half an hourter, in front of a vi, Phoebe frowned and demanded, "aren''t we are going to talk with
Martin about the contract? Why are we here?"
Zack parked the car and said, "The contract has been drawn up. All it needs is a signature. He can sign
anywhere he wants. Nothing strange."
Phoebe asked, "but why did Martin choose to sign the contract here? Shouldn''t it be in thepany?"
"How do I know? This is Mr. Gablehauser''s decision. He''s a billionaire. How can I figure out what he''s
thinking." Zack thought of something and said in a deep voice, "By the way, you can''t call him by his
name after we go in. You have to call him Mr. Gablehauser, okay?"
Phoebe remained silent and clenched her fists. She felt hesitant.
Zack preceded her, and then stopped and looked back. "What are you doing? Follow up."
"Phoebe, don''t y any tricks on me. It''s the most critical time for the Scott Family. Without Mr.
Gablehauser''s money, we''re done. We sink or swim together. Do you think you and your parents can
get away with it? Your father is the legal person of thepany, which means he will bear the brunt if
we fail!" Zack threatened.
Phoebe''s expression changed. Finally, she sighed and said with a cold face, "I''ll just serve you tea.
Don''t count on me to do anything else!"
"That''s not up to you."
"What did you say?!" Phoebe red.
Zack chuckled, "Nothing, just a joke. You just serve tea. Mr. Gablehauser simply admires you. After all,
you have some reputation in H City, don''t you?"
Zack''s ghastly face was so infuriating. Back then, it was because of Zack''s ineffectuality that Tom
joined the Scott Family as a matrilocal son-inw, which was also why she had a "reputation" in H City
and had been a butt of the joke for so many years.

Thinking of this, she could not help but think of that man. Tom was very young for marriage when he
joined the Scott Family.
She chose Tom because another enthusiastic suitor stood no chance of marrying her, and Tom was her
best choice left.
Speaking of which, she had not seen that man for four years. Her decision to marry Tom disheartened
him and he left H City after that. As four years passed, how had he been?
Such an outstanding person like him must have his family already.
Absorbed in reminiscences, Phoebe was a little abstracted. Time flew and nothing was constant.
"Lead the way." Phoebe red at Zack and said.
Zackughed sinisterly and walked forward.
Suddenly, something struck him and he turned to Phoebe and said, "by the way, it suddenly urred to
me that Rory seems to havee back recently. Has hee to see you?"
Hearing that name, Phoebe paused and something unnatural moved featherlight across her face.
Rory!
She hadn''t heard that name for a long time. It was that man''s name.
"Crap, we are just friends. Why would hee to see me?" Phoebe said with a straight face.
Zack smiled evilly. "Oh, really? You almost married him back then. Speaking of which, you should have
married him instead of a washout. Do you know that Rory is running a bigpany now? If you had
married him back then, you would have lived a rich andfortable life as his wife, no need to do
things like this."
He spoke in a malicious voice with a really punchable face.
Phoebe couldn''t help but re out. "Zack! One more word and I''ll leave without turning back!"
Sensing that Phoebe was really provoked, Zack quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "I''m just joking.
No hard feelings."
Phoebe snorted. Zack''s shameless face became more and more unbearable.
However, her mind was in a mess because of Zack''s words. She unintentionally wondered whether it
would have been better if she had married Rory back then.
With all those disconcerting thoughts in her mind, Phoebe followed Zack into the vi and saw Martin.
"Mr. Gablehauser, nice to see you." Zack said ingratiatingly and servilely and bowed in a very humble
manner.
"Wee. Come in and have a sit." Martin gave Zack a brief look and then locked his eyes on
Phoebe. When he saw how gorgeous Phoebe was, his eyes lit up and his lips broke into a randy and
horny smile which was nothing like the smile of that self-effacing gentleman in front of Colton and
Kaylie.
Right, Martin was the young man who personally proposed to Kaylie a while ago.
Martin''s gaze made Phoebe very uneasy, but she forced a smile and greeted him politely.
Martin was in a robe and looked very casual. It wasn''t what one should wear for a business asion
and apparently he didn''t respect Zack and Phoebe as his working partners.
Zack didn''t feel anything wrong with this. He even bent down and lit a cigarette for Martin.
Phoebe frowned slightly. She had a bad first impression of Martin.
"I have long heard of your iparable beauty as the top of the three most beautiful women in H City.
You live up to your reputation." Martin eyed Phoebe up and down and said with a smile.
Phoebe quelled the difort in her heart and smiled perfunctorily. She then said in a professional
manner, "Mr. Gablehauser, the financing..."
Martin interrupted her and said, "what''s the rush? Zack and I have already settled the details. There are
only some papers to be signed."
"Since that''s the case, let sign the papers now." Phoebe took out the contract, handed it to Martin, and
looked at him expectantly. "Mr. Gablehauser, this is a contract drawn up by us. Once you sign it and
transfer 100 million dors to our ount, you will own 40 % of SK Company''s shares."
Martin didn''t touch the contract that Phoebe handed over. Instead, he squinted at Phoebe with a smile
and said, "Miss Scott, do you think 40 % of yourpany''s shares are worth 100 million?"
Phoebe''s face darkened. "Mr. Gablehauser, I don''t quite understand what you mean. Didn''t you
propose to buy 40 % of our shares with 100 million dors?"
Martinughed. He stood up, walked around the coffee table towards Phoebe.
In an instant, nervousness shed through Phoebe''s face.
