Forbidden Passion

Chapter 119 Does he care about you?

The charity evening ended at half past eight, followed by a dinner. Brandon called Phoebe over and publicly praised her for playing the piano well tonight.

Mrs. Reynolds was surprised to see her playing the piano earlier, but today she accompanied Brandon to the event and dressed very luxuriously, not minding that Phoebe's attire was plain. "Phoebe, you have pleasantly surprised us. We didn't expect you to play the piano so well," Mrs. Reynolds said, linking her arm with Phoebe's, showering her with compliments. Phoebe, even though exhausted, summoned her spirits and forced a smile, "I learned a bit from the Vanderbilt family before, but I put it aside when I got busy with my studies." "No wonder I didn't know you could play the piano. Too bad Theodore isn't present. He would have been impressed if he heard you," Mrs. Reynolds said.

Mrs. Reynolds had already heard from Madison about Vanessa's injured hand and Theodore accompanying her to the hospital. Now, seeing Phoebe forcing a smile, she felt a tinge of pity for her.

Madison sneered beside them, "I still think Vanessa plays the best. She's the champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition. If it weren't for her injuring Vanessa's hand, how could she have had the chance to go on stage?" Madison's words clearly insinuated that Phoebe was scheming. She intentionally injured Vanessa's hand to replace her on stage.

Mrs. Reynolds frowned, "Madison, why do you say such things about Phoebe? She's not an entertainer. Why would she fight for the spotlight?"

"Of course, it's to steal Vanessa's limelight, thinking that Theodore will notice her. She's such a scheming bitch," Madison glanced disdainfully at Phoebe.

Fortunately, Phoebe was clever; she secretly took a photo of herself with Edward and sent it to Theodore, letting him know how promiscuous this woman was!
