Chapter 114


    When Phoebe saw this, a look of shock shed across her eyes and her heart tightened.


    Did Tom spend the night herest night?


    Was he a fool?


    Tom was woken up by the sound of the door opening. He quickly got up. Because he had been in the


    same position for a long time, his right leg was a little numb, and he staggered and almost fell.


    Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held the wall in time to not fall down.


    "Phoebe, you''re awake." Tom said, "Phoebe, you really have to believe me. What happenedst night


    was really a misunderstanding. I admit that I did go to dinner with a female friendst night, but she''s a


    tomboy. I don''t know her very well. I ran into herst time I drove to the 4S shop for repairs..."


    Tom quickly told Phoebe everything, including how he knew Kaylie. He told her that he had met herst


    night by chance. It was not his style to stand by while someone was in trouble, so he had touched


    Kaylie''s hair. Apart from that, he and Kaylie barely knew each other.


    Phoebe listened to Tom quietly, and she didn''t even notice that after she heard it, her agitated and


    tense mood unwittingly rxed a lot, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose a little. But she still


    kept a straight face on purpose and remained aloof. "Did you sleep herest night?"


    "Yes."


    "Why are you so stupid? It''s winter. Aren''t you cold?"


    Tom scratched his head and said, "It''s okay. My skin is thick, so I didn''t feel cold."


    Seeing him being so silly, Phoebe was not angry at all. But she started to feel a little guilt and regret.


    Was she too cold-blooded to leave Tom out all night...


    "Come in. Take a shower and change into some clothes. I''ll prepare breakfast for you." Phoebe opened


    the door and let Tom in.


    Tom didn''t dare to go in and asked carefully, "Can I really go in?"


    Phoebe grabbed his clothes and pulled him in, deliberately speaking impatiently, "Juste in. Stop


    talking."


    Tom went to take a shower, changed his clothes, and came out to the dining room. He was surprised to


    see that Phoebe had really made breakfast for him. There was a bowl of hot noodles on the table and


    he felt he was in a dream.


    If he remembered correctly, it was the first time Phoebe had cooked breakfast for him after being


    married for so long.


    At this moment, he was overwhelmed by this special favour.


    "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and eat."


    Tom nodded hard and said with a smile, "Honey, you''re so good to me."


    Phoebe turned around and deliberately ignored him.


    "I''m going to work. Stay at home and have a good rest." Phoebe walked to the door and said.


    Tom immediately said, "Honey, I''ll go to thepany with you."


    "Why?" Phoebe frowned.


    "I have to go to thepany with you. You messed up Zack''s investment, and now the entire family


    hate you. If I don''t show up, they would swear at you." But Tom didn''t say what he was thinking. He just


    said, "I had a good restst night. And mypany is having a holiday today. I''ll take you to work."


    "No need." Phoebe rejected him and shook her head, "I can go to work by myself. You do your job."


    Tom wolfed down the noodles in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Phoebe, I''ll take you there. I


    said I would protect you."


    Phoebe immediately frowned. When she saw Tom''s stubborn look, she was angry. Tom said he wanted


    to protect her, but what did he have to protect her?


    She knew very well what was waiting for her at thepany. People would stare at her and swear at


    her.


    She didn''t want Tom to see this, so she nned to face it alone from the beginning. She even didn''t


    want her parents to see this.


    "Do whatever you want. Don''t disturb me." Phoebe said coldly and left.


    Tom chased after her immediately.


    Phoebe stopped and red at him discontentedly. "Tom, are you insane? Can''t you understand what I


    said?!"


    Just now, she was very gentle to Tom, but in the blink of an eye, she became bad to him again.


    Tom was used to her being like this and said softly, "Phoebe, I won''t let you face this alone."


    Phoebe bit tightly her lip. She was touched, but she was seized with a fit of unknown anger. "Tom, do


    you know what I hate about you the most? You don''t know yourself! You don''t know who you really are!


    I don''t me you for not being powerful, but please don''t pretend to be like that. In the end, you will


    make a fool of yourself and embarrass me!"


    Tom said hurriedly, "Phoebe, please trust me. I can really help you out this time. Let me take you to


    work."


    Phoebe did not respond to Tom, but gave Tom a cold look. Then she walked out and mmed the door


    shut.


    Tom sighed. Phoebe was really too stubborn.


    He knew Phoebe very well. If he insisted oning with her, Phoebe would be even angrier. The best


    way would be to take action. When the Scotts made things difficult for Phoebe, he would stand up and


    help her out. Only then would Phoebe really trust him.


    So he called Elliot directly and asked him to go to the Scotts to be ready for whatever it would happen.


    When Elliot received his message, he should immediately appear.


    With everything ready, he began to rush to thepany.


    Phoebe had just arrived at thepany, and before she could enter the conference room, she


    immediately felt that something was wrong.


    She saw at a nce that many of the employees had already left. At least half of them had left, and the


    And no one was doing their work. They were chatting in twos and threes, looking veryzy and


    leisurely. Even if they saw here in, they did not stop talking and did not have the usual reverence


    for her.


    Phoebe had never seen them like this. Even thest time when thepany was faced with a huge


    crisis, these employees were not so presumptuous. She immediately said with a grim face, "What are


    you doing during work hours? Don''t you have work to do?"


    In the past, people in thepany had been in awe of her. When these employees saw that she was


    angry, they would be nervous and hurry to work. But now, Phoebe''s scolding did not have any


    reverence. Instead, someoneughed disdainfully.


    "Thepany is going to close down soon. What work do we have?"


    "That''s right. Those creditors wille to collect the debt in several days."


    "If I didn''t have a month''s sry, I would have left with Wes and the others."


    "I knew SK Company had no future. I knew I was true."


    They all started to talk despite the fact that Phoebe was here.


    Seeing this, Phoebe was very angry. She raised her voice and said, "Shut up! Who said thepany is


    going to close down? Thepany is in a very good condition!"


    "Hehe, Miss Scott, don''t lie to yourself. Who doesn''t know that SK is experiencing a capital chain


    rupture and that it is about to go bankrupt? You''d better think about how to deal with the creditors!"


    "And our sry! You have to pay us. We are all protected by theborw."


    Phoebe was very angry when she heard this. These people went too far, but her heart was filled with


    sadness more. They were right. SK was having a hard time now.


    Martin was SK''s hope, but she hadpletely offended him.


    She could only count on Rory now. She hoped that Rory would not hate her for what happened


    yesterday!


    Thinking of Rory, she couldn''t help but think of Tom. If Tom hadn''t exposed Rory''s lies and humiliated


    Rory so much, Rory would have been willing to finance SK. But now she was not sure...ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
