Chapter 31 Faces like a married couple

Phoebe's body jolted as she turned to look towards the doorway. There stood Theodore, his features sharp and handsome, but his expression was exceptionally dark, his piercing gaze sinking her heart. She quickly pushed Edward away, looking at him helplessly.

A flicker of hurt passed through Edward's eyes. Seeing Theodore step into the room, he instinctively positioned himself in front of Phoebe, watching Theodore warily. "What do you want?"

Theodore's thin lips parted slightly, his voice cool as he uttered two icy words, "Move aside!"

He towered over Edward by several inches, looking down at him, an oppressive aura emanating from him.

"Theodore, I'm telling you, I won't let you hurt Phoebe," Edward declared with a bold confidence.

If he hadn't been blinded by jealousy and resentment back then, if he hadn't abandoned Phoebe when she needed him most, she wouldn't have married Theodore.

A sneer flashed across Theodore's lips. "Mr. Vanderbilt, don't overestimate yourself. When Phoebe was your girlfriend, you couldn't protect her. How can you do so now when she's my wife? What concern is it of yours if we argue and then make up?"

The taunt was not lost on Edward; he turned red with rage, grabbing Theodore's collar, his voice a ferocious roar, "You're nothing but a sanctimonious opportunist."
