Forbidden Passion

Chapter 4 The Young CEO

Phoebe couldn't help but tremble. She was afraid of Theodore, a fear that had been ingrained in her since their first encounter as adults.

It was the inauguration ceremony for the newly appointed CEO of the Reynolds Group, and Phoebe was just a rookie intern, standing at the very end of the line, watching as Theodore was surrounded by a group of people as he entered. He was dressed in a well-fitted black suit, his white shirt radiating brilliance, enhancing his mesmerizing features. He stood on stage and delivered a speech, then promptly dismissed several high-ranking officials involved in bribery. He was decisive and ruthless in his actions. After taking office, there was a major turnaroundover in the company's top management, and during that time, the company was filled with strife and everyone feared for their own safety. For quite a while afterward, the whenever employees trembled in fear whenever he was mentioned mentioned him, they trembled in fear, calling him the "cold-faced Yama Devil"! Phoebe was also afraid.

At this moment, his face was even more terrifyingly gloomy than when they were in the courtyard earlier.

She lowered her gaze, focusing on the impeccably pressed crease of his pants. She thought, no matter the circumstanceswhen, he was always flawless and perfect, yetwhile she was always the one in the most miserable state. "Speak!"

The man's deep voice carried an imposing air, causing Phoebe's heart to tremble. She evaded his cold gaze, suddenly at a loss for words.

During thea previous miscarriage, she had a severe hemorrhage and injured her uterus. When she went for a check-up later, the doctor told her that it would be difficult for her to conceive a child in her lifetime.

She had planned to tell Theodore about this, but before she could even open her mouth, the enraged man forcefully took possession of her.

Theodore stared at her intently, his deep eyes as dark as ink, making it impossible to understand his thoughts.

Mrs. Ziegler stood by, terrified. She cautiously spoke, "Theodore, Phoebe speaks without thinking. She's just trying to provoke me..."

"Mother-in-law," Theodore interrupted Mrs. Ziegler firmly, "I'll take Phoebe to the hospital for a check-up first to see if she did it on purpose. We'll find out after the examination."
