Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 115: Cannot Use Brute Force

In the book, Brian Chapman had an affair. Phoebe Thorne called her brothers over to cause a huge scene. They certainly vented their anger, but Phoebe didn’t benefit from it at all. Because the Thorne family had been too vicious, Brian Chapman, who was originally in the wrong, became the one everyone pitied. When they divorced, Phoebe was left with practically nothing.

The Chapman family’s biggest assets were two market stalls, bought with money Phoebe Thorne had borrowed from her own family. When they divorced, the money was never repaid, and she didn’t get the stalls either. It looked like a victory, but in reality, it was a massive loss.

Now, since Brian Chapman hadn’t started an affair yet, they couldn’t afford to be so brutal. They had to fight a battle of wits.

First, they needed to find a strategist who was both resourceful and eloquent.

"Daddy, that old hag is the worst! She pinched me and won’t even admit it. She’s more cunning than the Big Bad Wolf." Tang Xiaonan rolled up her sleeve. The bruise on her arm was even larger, surrounded by a wide patch of pale purple.

A cold aura radiated from Felix Thorne. Phoebe Huxley, who had been picking up food with her chopsticks, paused. She stopped chewing, her face as dark as charcoal.

SMACK!

Phoebe Huxley slammed her chopsticks down and roared, "I’m going with you all tomorrow morning! I’m going to tear that damned old hag to shreds!"

’She was always so careful, not even daring to use too much force when combing her precious little girl’s hair. How dare that damned old hag pinch her Xiaonan? She must have a death wish!’

Another SMACK rang out. Howard Thorne suddenly slapped Patrick on the back and cursed, "Are you a corpse? I told you to watch Xiaonan properly! How could you let that damned old hag bully her? You useless piece of trash!"

"Exactly." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Jim Thorne mumbled under his breath. ’If it were him, he would never have let Xiaonan get bullied. Not even a single hair on her head would have been harmed. Second Brother is just too useless.’

Patrick Thorne shot him a dark look. Jim Thorne resentfully shut his mouth but turned his head and grumbled again. ’Yesterday, he had been stuck watching that ugly woman all day. It was suffocating. The only thing that kept him going was the thought of big meat buns. But when he came back, he didn’t even get a single soup dumpling. His heart went cold with disappointment.’

’Of course, he wasn’t mad at Xiaonan. His sister was only six, so it was normal for her to forget. Jim only blamed his second brother. How could a grown man forget about meat buns? Hmph. He must have forgotten on purpose. He was just jealous because their sister liked him more.’

"Second Brother didn’t see it. That old hag is really cunning. She only pinched me when he wasn’t looking," Tang Xiaonan explained hurriedly. Her conscience didn’t prickle in the slightest for framing the old woman.

’Not all old people were kind and amiable.’

’Mrs. Chapman was a wicked mother-in-law. In the book, she was a major reason for Phoebe Thorne’s tragic end. She had known about her son’s affair for a long time but didn’t say a word, even helping him hide it. Meanwhile, at home, she shamelessly enjoyed Phoebe’s care, cursing at her whenever she was displeased and showing no consideration for Phoebe’s frail health. Her heart was completely black.’

’Then there was Amanda Chapman, who also had a terrible life in the book. After only two years of elementary school, Mrs. Chapman made her quit to work at the stall and earn money. Every cent of the hard-earned money Amanda made working from dawn to dusk was pocketed by that vicious old woman. She didn’t leave a single penny for Phoebe and her daughter. While she, her son, and her grandson ate meat, Phoebe and her daughter couldn’t even get enough to eat and still had to work. They lived a life more wretched than that of slaves.’

The book had dedicated a whole Chapter to describing the miserable lives of Phoebe Thorne and her daughter, which made Tang Xiaonan see red. Although Felix Thorne had taken people to the Chapman family’s home to cause trouble, he had only managed to turn their righteous cause into an unreasonable mess. Phoebe Thorne was kicked out, and when she returned to her parents’ home, her life wasn’t good.

Phoebe Thorne’s health had deteriorated, so she couldn’t do much work, which meant she was essentially living off of others. Over time, even her own parents would grow resentful, let alone her sisters-in-law. Depressed and unhappy every day, Phoebe’s health only worsened. Although the author never explicitly stated it, the outcome was easy to imagine.

Tang Xiaonan made up her mind. Phoebe Thorne’s fate had to be changed, and the first step was to soothe her parents’ explosive tempers.
