Forbidden Passion

Chapter 292 Partiality towards Vanessa

"What does he say?" Phoebe asked.

John reported everything he had inquired to Phoebe one by one, "Mr. Tompson's assistant receives a sum of money, and the other party asks for the assistant's help, hoping that the assistant can introduce Mr. Tompson, mentioning that the woman greatly admires Mr. Tompson's talent and wants to chat with Mr. Tompson at the Sunset Hotel."

Phoebe squinted. "Is he talking about me?"

"Yes, it's said that Mr. Tompson's reputation has been growing in recent years, and he has become more protective of his image. He has long planned to stop, but if it weren't for the assistant's instigation, Mr. Tompson would never have targeted you," John said.

Phoebe lightly tapped the table with her fingers, sneering. "It seems they want to use someone else to do the dirty work. Mr. Tompson's reputation is already poor, and he's a repeat offender. Just lure him to the Sunset Hotel, spike his drink, and he's likely to go berserk."

"Yes, even if discovered, as long as the assistant escapes, we won't find any evidence implicating a third party in this matter," John said, growing angrier, wishing to punish the person behind the scenes. Phoebe clenched her fist. "Can we find Mr. Tompson's assistant?"

"He hasn't contacted anyone since he fled, so it should be difficult to locate him." John had already sent others to his hometown these days, but his parents died in a car accident a few years ago, and he had no relatives left there. Phoebe pursed her red lips. "They have planned this well and won't let us catch them so easily. Let's end it here."

"Miss Ziegler, you've suffered so much injustice. Are you just going to let them go?" John asked unwillingly.

"They will receive their due punishment one day. No rush for now," Phoebe said lightly. Phoebe knew that she had reached the limit of how deep she could investigate, and digging further would be a waste of energy. Besides, even if she obtained evidence, what difference would it make?

Theodore wouldn't believe Phoebe. Even if she presented evidence to him, he would still favor Vanessa.

'Forget it! With this energy, Phoebe can do something else; there is no need to make herself suffer.' John pursed his lips, ultimately saying nothing and reporting today's schedule to Phoebe.
