Chapter 248
Elizabeth couldn't stand it anymore, gasping. Her heart broke when she saw Phoebe being slapped!
"That's right. If you had done this earlier, how could she have suffered? Haha!" Mark laughed loudly in
an overbearing manner.
"Mom! No! Don't call Tom. I beg you!" Phoebe burst out.
Grace said sarcastically, "Well, Sister Phoebe, it turns out that you're so deeply in love with Tom. Why
are you still protecting him at this moment? Tsk, tsk, how I envy you guys!"
Elizabeth said, "I'm calling Tom right now and will ask him to come over. Please don't hurt my daughter
again. Please."
Trembling, she took out the phone from her pocket and was about to make a call.
Phoebe shouted even more agitatedly and hysterically, "Mom! I beg you. Don't call Tom ever. He'll die,
no..."
Phoebe was crying so pitifully. Her face was wet with tears, which was heartbreaking to watch.
However, apart from Elizabeth and James, no one else would show pity on her at all. Grace, on the
other hand, smiled even more brightly. She was flushed with excitement. The more miserable Phoebe
became, the happier she was!
Elizabeth also got angry and scolded loudly, "Phoebe, are you out of your mind? Why are you still
covering for Tom at this point? He's clearly the trouble maker! Why should we be on the receiving end
of everything! If he really loved you, he wouldn't divorce you, nor would he throw us under the bus, yet
you're still covering for him. Are you insane?"
Phoebe clenched her teeth and burst into tears. In fact, she didn't know why she had to protect Tom
like this. Apparently, she didn't love Tom, but she was still covering for him. She also suspected that
she was crazy.
However, she could never betray Tom or watch him being tortured with her own eyes!
"Mom, Tom has saved me, as well as our family many times. We can't do this to him," Phoebe pleaded.
Mark flared up immediately. He grabbed Phoebe's hair, jerked her face up, and snarled, "You chose to
solve the problem the hard way. At this stage, you can't betray him because he has saved you a lot of
times, right? It seems that if I don't give you a lesson, you won't realize the gravity of the situation!"
Mark was about to continue beating Phoebe as he spoke.
Seeing that, Elizabeth cried like crazy, "Don't hit her! Don't hit her! I'm calling Tom right now! I'm calling
Tom right now..."
Only then did Mark let go of Phoebe. When Elizabeth was making the call, he snatched the phone from
her. Soon, Mark got through and Tom's voice came on the line, "Hello, mom, are you looking for me?"
Since Mark turned on the speaker, Tom's voice was heard by everyone. When Phoebe heard it, her
pupils contracted.
Mark smiled maliciously and said to the phone, "Tom, finally I've got you. You're so mysterious."
Tom was in a meeting at the new advertising company. He was curious to get a call from Elizabeth
because usually, she rarely called him, so it was abnormal for her to make a sudden call to him at this
moment.
But when he answered the phone, a man's voice came from the other end of the line, and it sounded a
little familiar.
Soon, Tom recognized that it was Mark's voice!
Tom stood up from his chair instantly, and startled everyone else in the conference room.
Tom gestured with his right hand for them to continue the meeting. Then he walked out of the
conference room and said in a low voice, "Mark, if you dare to touch them, I will make you as good as
dead."
Tom's voice was extremely cold, full of anger and murder. Even through the phone, Mark still felt bone-
chilling cold, and couldn't resist shrinking at heart.
However, he recovered immediately, became annoyed and laughed out of fury, "Well, how dare you
threaten me? OK! I just want to see how you will make me as good as dead."
After that, Mark squatted down in front of Phoebe and said to the phone, "Now I have your wife. So, do
you want to hear her voice?"
Mark pulled Phoebe's hair and held the phone out to Phoebe's face. "Speak. Let your husband hear
your voice."
Phoebe bit her lips hard and refused to speak. Her behavior angered Mark, and Mark gave her another
slap across the face. The loud noise came clearly to Tom.
Tom punched the wall next to him angrily, and the wall cracked open with a bang, which scared a few
passers-by.
Tom rarely had the urge to kill, but now he wanted to kill Mark! Mark actually dared to go to Phoebe's
house and kidnap her family. What Mark was doing had completely broken through Tom's bottom line!
"That's enough! I'm coming over now!" Tom said loudly with his teeth clenched, "Mark, if you're a man,
don't hurt women. Just come at me!"
Mark smiled suddenly. When he was about to speak, Phoebe, who was shocked at what Tom said,
shouted hurriedly, "Tom, don't come over. They will kill you! You don't have to worry about me. Just call
the police for me..." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Before Phoebe could finish her sentence, she was slapped to the ground by Mark again. "Bitch, quiet."
After that, Mark said to Tom on the phone, "Now listen carefully. If you dare to call the police, I will let
my men screw this bitch, and I will take a video and post it online for everyone to enjoy."
Tom took a deep breath and clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. If Mark was here, he would see
the fire in Tom's eyes. It looked like the devil lifting himself up from hell, about to destroy the world.
"Okay, where are you? I'll be right there!"
"Very well. I'm at your wife's house. Remember, come alone, or you won't see your wife again."
After that, Mark hung up the phone.
Tom listened to the busy tone on the phone and snapped his phone with a crack!
There was a fire in his chest, almost burning this man up.
Taking a deep breath, Tom tried to calm himself down. He counted down from three to one, opened his
eyes and strode away.
Along the way, he drove as fast as he could to Phoebe's house. It was unknown how many stop lights
he had gone through, and he was even in the local news for that for a time.
Tom swore that he would make Mark suffer. Even if Mark was the young master of KL Group, he would
still kill him!
It was originally a half-hour drive, but it took Tom only ten minutes to finally arrive. The drive was in the
downtown area, but his average speed was over 80.
Tom saw two strong men at the gate downstairs. Seeing Tom coming alone, they put on a mocking
face. They swung at Tom with the electric batons in their hands to electrocute him, but before they
could reach Tom, they were kicked away by him. They hit the wall behind them and passed out.
The expression on Tom's face never changed, just like the ice that never melted. He rushed upstairs.
