Chapter 47
No trace of humility and reverence could be found on Malcolm's face now. He was not the same person
he had been when he dined with Tom the other day. He walked like an intimidating lion. The whole
place was enveloped in silence and everyone looked at him in awe.
Malcolm started from scratch and although he was wearing a suit that disguised him as a business
elite, his brutal manner betrayed his humble origins.
"Wow, what a scene. Hope I don't miss anything." Malcolm said with a smile, walking forward leisurely
with two walnuts in his hands.
When Zack saw Malcolm, his smiling face was frozen. His face turned pale at a visible speed, his
pupils constricted in panic, and even his legs were quivering.
He couldn't figure out why Malcolm was here.
He had already given Malcolm ten million dollars yesterday. Why did he show up again? Was it
because he didn't go gambling today?
Tom, who was in the crowd, smiled mysteriously when he saw Malcolm coming.
Why was Malcolm here? Because the chairman of ZQ wanted him here.
Fifteen and a half million was not big money for Malcolm. Besides, Zack had paid him ten million the
day before yesterday, so he could have given him more time for the rest of the money.
However, he received the message from Tom asking him to come over. Since he couldn't afford to
refuse, he did as he was told without any delay.
He didn't know why the chairman of ZQ called him over and how he got involved with the unremarkable
Scott Family, but they all didn't matter. He was just doing the chairman a favor.
After dinner that day, he investigated the chairman of ZQ but found nothing. He just heard that the
young man acquired ZQ Media for 2.5 billion dollars just a while ago. According to Elliot, he bought the
company on a whim, which meant that the young chairman of ZQ was very rich, extremely rich, and
had a distinguished background. That was why a man of his status couldn't find any information about
him.
With that in mind, he immediately stopped all his investigation cause he didn't want to get himself killed
after word spread to the chairman. The more he knew the world, the more he realized his
insignificance. There were many people in the world that were superior to him.
The content of the message was very simple. The chairman wanted him to be here as soon as possible
and cooperated with him in playacting.
He couldn't figure out what the chairman was up to. He just did it anyway.
Richard and the others were all awed by the presence of Malcolm.
"Malcolm, what brings you here?" Richard, as the head of the family, represented the dignity of the
Scott Family. Although he was very afraid of Malcolm, he still had to assume composure in front of the
whole family.
Malcolm was rubbing the walnuts in his hands, and the clattering made everyone's skin crawl, including
Phoebe.
Malcolm didn't say anything for a while, his eyes sweeping through the crowd, looking for the chairman
of ZQ, but to his disappointment, he failed to spot him.
The members of the Scott Family who were caught by his eyes were all terrified and their hearts were
thumping. The shadow that Malcolm had brought to them in the early years was still lingering.
"Oh, I happen to be here for dinner and collect some debts before leaving." Malcolm said cheerfully.
Richard's pupils constricted. That was the last thing he wanted to happen. Someone in the Scott Family
gambled in Malcolm's place and lost a lot of money. Even ten million was not enough to pay off the
debt.
Thinking of this, he immediately cast an arrow-like glance at Phoebe and simply wanted to tear her
apart on the spot.
"Malcolm, are you kidding me? The Scott Family has no business relations with you. How come that
you collect debts here?" Richard said with a forced smile.
Malcolm was still smiling. "Really? It seems that you know nothing of what your dearest grandson has
done. He had a really good time at my place but was a little unlucky and lost some money. He
promised to pay the money the next day, but disappeared and avoided my calls. I had no choice but to
look for him myself. I didn't mean to disrupt your family dinner tonight. Tsk tsk, I'm really sorry for
coming uninvited. You will forgive me, won't you?"
Hearing this, Richard could no longer maintain his composure, the smile on his face stiffened, and the
corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He suppressed his rage and said to Malcolm, "Malcolm, is
there such a thing? I didn't know anything about it." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Malcolm's face darkened instantly. His smile vanished and he stared at Richard coldly. "You mean you
deny it?"
Feeling Malcolm's anger, Richard was startled. He quickly shook his head and said, "No. Malcolm, you
misunderstood! I absolutely didn't mean that. If it was really the money owed by the Scott Family, I
promise we won't welsh on you! I just don't know how much money we owe you."
Malcolm relented a little. He said with a wry smile, "Not much, just fifteen and a half million. By the way,
you paid ten million the day before yesterday, leaving five and a half million. But adding the interest of
these two days, it's six and a half million. Mr. Scott, it's not easy to earn money these days. I need
money now and six and a half million is a sizable sum for me, so you'd better pay it off today, or I will
feel offended."
Tom was amused behind them. He didn't expect Malcolm to be good at threatening. By now, Richard
was already horrified and trembling.
"What?!" Victor exclaimed. "Fifteen and a half million! It's only been two days, and there's an extra
million of interest!"
When the other family members heard the number, they were also furious. They pointed at Phoebe's
and cursed her in the dirtiest languages.
"Useless bitch! You actually lost more than ten million dollars!"
"It that you revenge on the Scott Family because we took back some of your shares and let you
temporarily withdraw from the board of directors?"
"At least you're part of the Scott Family. How can you be so vicious? Are you still a human?"
"Told you that Phoebe was born a rebellious and ungrateful woman. Now that my words are testified.
She's going to drag the Scott Family into the abyss!"
"She's malicious like a demon..."
For a moment, Phoebe became the target of overwhelming criticism. Originally, they said that Logan
went to gamble and lost a lot of money to Malcolm. Now, they deemed it Phoebe's conspiracy against
the Scott Family and she deliberately lost more than ten million dollars to Malcolm.
Phoebe tried to defend herself, but her voice was completely drowned in the malignant abuse of others.
Her eyes were red, and she felt so aggrieved and helpless that she couldn't help but cry, "I didn't do it.
Why did you all throw mud at me... Am I really that vicious in your eyes?!"
She screamed, but no one believed her.
Not far away, Malcolm's attention was attracted and when he saw Phoebe clearly, he was stunned for a
moment, and then his eyes widened in surprise!
He was clever and quickly figured out why the chairman of ZQ wanted him here.
