Forbidden Passion

Chapter 307: Kill

Phoebe looked at Theodore and asked, "Don't you also want to keep our relationship private, not let everyone know?"

'Over the past three years, rumors have been flying, with everyone saying I'm Theodore's lover, yet he never stepped forward to explain. Now that Vanessa is back, he suddenly wants to go public. Is he a fool?' thought Phoebe. Theodore clearly got the answer from Phoebe's tone, and he sneered. "Yes, I indeed don't want others to know we are a couple."

With that, he stood up and angrily left the dinning room.

Phoebe fell silent. She sat in her chair for a while, digesting Theodore's sarcastic words, thinking, 'If he doesn't want to, then I don't need to either!'

After tidying up the tableware and cleaning the dining table, Phoebe leaned against the wall, lost in thought. 'Why do I still feel sad even though the response is expected?'

On Friday afternoon, as Phoebe finished her tasks, nearing the end of the workday, Evelyn called her, asking her to come to the Golden Apartment to pick her up.

Phoebe, puzzled, asked as she walked out while on the phone. "Why do I need to pick you up? I have to return to the Reynolds Mansion tonight."

"I know, Taylor called me, asking us to go to the Reynolds Mansion together for some discussion. I'm free, so I thought of going to see her," Evelyn explained.

"I see. I'll drive over to pick you up in a while," Phoebe said on the phone as she noticed Ruby passing by.

She paid no attention and headed towards the elevator.

Ruby waited until Phoebe entered the elevator before entering the lounge. Vanessa had just changed her clothes, and seeing Ruby's expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Vanessa, I overhear Phoebe on the phone saying that Taylor asked her mom to come to the Reynolds Mansion for a discussion. I wonder what they need to discuss." Ruby's intuition kicked in.
