Forbidden Passion

Chapter 12 The Diabolical in-laws

Theodore was dressed in a black suit, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His facial features were sharp and cold, exuding a powerful yet icy aura, akin to that of a nocturnal king. He stood before them, staring coldly at Madison, his gaze sharp and piercing.

Startled, Madison took a step back, her earlier arrogance vanishing without a trace. "Brother, I was just playing around with sister-in-law, right?"

Phoebe's mood was complex. She didn't want her siblings to argue because of her. Just as she was about to play the peacemaker, Theodore sternly interrupted, "Which younger sister-in-law dares to play around like this with her sister-in-law?" Madison's face turned pale. Among all the people in this household, her older brother was the one she feared the most. That's why she had always kept Phoebe's secrets away from him.

This hypocritical woman, what right does she have to marry her brother? And what right does she have to make her older brother, Edward, so infatuated with her?

"Brother..."

"Apologize to your sister-in-law immediately," Theodore interrupted her, his voice as cold as ice.

He didn't care about Phoebe. All he wanted was to keep her by his side, to toy with and torment her. He wouldn't allow anyone else to insult her.

Madison's eyes widened in disbelief. "You want me to apologize to her? Why should I? I already said we were just playing."

Theodore's eyes were sharp like a hawk's, and his tone remained just as intense. "Apologize!"

That simple yet forceful word made the atmosphere suddenly tense. Phoebe felt she should say something.

But before she could speak, Theodore coldly looked at her, as if telling her that he was the one teaching his sister a lesson, and she had no right to interfere.

Phoebe obediently closed her mouth.

Madison was furious, her eyes becoming red. She knew that her brother was a man of his word. If she didn't apologize today, he would never let it go.
