Chapter 154 Phoebe, Who Gave You the Audacity to Quit?

"You trample on our hard work just to please your first love, that's fine... but I'm sorry; I'm someone who's very dedicated to their career, and I can't continue to play along with you. If you want to support her, find someone else because I won't be accompanying you any longer." After saying this, Phoebe didn't even glance at Theodore's increasingly ugly expression.
