Forbidden Passion

Chapter 185 You Two are Husband and Wife

The moment he said this, the room fell into silence. Mrs. Ziegler's mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't find the words to speak. If her son-in-law were anyone else, she would've slapped him for siding with an outsider. But the man standing before her was Theodore, and she dared not act rashly. Instead, she shot Phoebe a look, urging her to speak up and not let Vanessa walk all over them.

Phoebe had known who Theodore's heart leaned towards the moment he spoke up. No, to be more precise, she knew when he had called her earlier, he was already standing by Vanessa's side. Otherwise, he would've had plenty of time on the road to tell her what had happened, but he hadn't mentioned a word, all to protect Vanessa.

Phoebe's heart ached, but she had to stand her ground. She stared at Vanessa and said, "You want to examine the injuries, right? After the examination, let's hold a press conference. You two can explain to the reporters who's right and who's wrong."

"Are you threatening me?" Vanessa glared at her.

Phoebe said, "Miss Fitzroy, you do have a history of causing trouble. Who knows if you were the one who invited my mom over, attacked her, and then tried to frame her?"

Vanessa was exasperated. She turned to look at Theodore, "Theodore, do you believe me? I didn't call her to the Imperial Apartment, and I didn't hit her. She scratched my face and even pulled my hair. I only fought back because I had no other choice, and I only pulled her hair; I didn't scratch her. The scratches on her face were self-made before the police arrived."

"Whether it was you who scratched her or my mom who scratched herself, we can have a forensic doctor come and examine it." Phoebe was steadfast. Since Vanessa wanted to pursue this, then they would pursue it to the end. "Enough!" Theodore spoke up again. He shot Phoebe a cold glance and said to Vanessa, "Vanessa, go sign."

This was to settle the matter privately.

Vanessa looked at him with teary eyes, looking pitiful, "Theodore, don't you believe me either? I'm not afraid of the forensic examination..."

"Forensic doctors usually work with the deceased. Aren't you afraid it's a bad omen?" Theodore's face was stern.
