Forbidden Passion

Chapter 312 He Underestimated Her

Outside the mansion, Theodore arranged for a driver to come and take Evelyn. He stood not far behind the mother and daughter, giving them space to talk. Evelyn grabbed Phoebe's hand, causing Phoebe to furrow her brows slightly. When Evelyn lowered her head, she noticed that Phoebe's hand was bright red. "What happened to your hand?" Evelyn asked.

Phoebe pulled her hand back and hid it behind her back. "It's nothing."

Just now, Phoebe wanted to speak but was pinched by Theodore. It was only when she went to wash her hands that she discovered the hand Theodore had pinched was red and swollen. It was evident how strong Theodore's grip was at that moment.

Evelyn's mind was not on this matter. She glanced at Theodore standing not far away and whispered, "What a great opportunity, all ruined by your sister-in-law."

Speaking of Madison, Evelyn genuinely disliked her.

A socialite princess lacking the elegance and grace of a wealthy young lady, always idle and causing trouble for her sister-in-law, she was not likable at all.

Phoebe frowned. "It's fortunate that she ruined it. I don't have to figure out how to stop it."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn became angry. "Do you still want to stop it? What are you thinking? Are you trying to infuriate me?"

"Mom!" Phoebe said, "Nothing good comes without effort."

Brandon wanted to introduce Phoebe to everyone as his daughter-in-law to appease Theodore, preventing him from telling Taylor about his affair and illegitimate child.

Taylor was oblivious to this. Currently, Taylor was happily preparing for a party and planning to have a wedding celebration. Once Brandon's affair was exposed, Taylor would surely hold a grudge against him. Evelyn glared at Phoebe. "Phoebe, let me ask you, do you not intend to live well with Theodore?"

Phoebe fell silent.
