Forbidden Passion

Chapter 330 Phoebe in Danger

Phoebe had a headache again. Her phone stopped ringing, then immediately started again. Before she could answer, Evelyn's loud voice came through. "Are you trying to make me anxious to death? Why haven't you been answering the phone?" Evelyn asked.

Phoebe held back the urge to hang up. "Can you stop calling and making things worse? I'll tell you if there's any news."

Evelyn cried, "If I had a passport, I'd go myself. I wouldn't trouble you."

Phoebe was upset by Evelyn's scathing remark, almost crying. "If so, I have nothing more to say to you."

With that, she hung up.

She raised her hand to cover her eyes, not wanting John to see her distress.

After a long pause, she spoke again, "John, go to the Adams Group branch and see if my brother has been in contact with anyone recently."

Although her brother was arrogant, he wouldn't borrow such a large sum to gamble unless someone deliberately led him astray.

John understood her implication. "Get it!"

John took a few sips of his soup before heading out to gather information. Phoebe didn't stay idle either. She disguised herself and went to the casino.

The casino was a den of iniquity where all sorts of people mingle. Phoebe dressed like a cute girl with heavy, smoky makeup. No one stopped her when she entered.

She stood at each gambling table for a while, pretending to chat casually while listening to people's conversations.
