Forbidden Passion

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. If I don't check in first, do you want me to sleep on the street tonight?" Evelyn knew her previous words were a bit harsh. She said, "I'm worried about Donovan.

"What if I can't find him?" Phoebe asked.

Evelyn, "That's impossible. Don't curse Donovan."

Phoebe closed her eyes tightly in frustration. "Not once since I got off the plane have you asked me once if the flight was tiring or if I felt airsick. I know you probably think I am picked up off the street, but you don't have to show such obvious favoritism."

With that, she hung up the phone.

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."
