Chapter 329 Want Her Dead

Phoebe's temples throbbed. She was silent for a few seconds before saying. "Do you have a bit of conscience? I'm in a completely unfamiliar place.

John looked up and saw Phoebe in the rearview mirror, her chest heaving with anger. He said, "Phoebe, what you just said..."

Phoebe saw the confusion in his eyes and gave a bitter smile. "I'm her biological, not adopted."

John nodded thoughtfully.

Phoebe explained helplessly, "She really is my mom. I am feeling a bit upset and deliberately snap at her."

John chuckled. "I understand."
