Forbidden Passion

Chapter 351 Theodore Feels Awkward

Phoebe felt really torn. With the ties between the Ziegler and Vanderbilt families, there was no way Edward didn't know about Donovan's mess.

Even if Edward didn't know now, he'd find out soon enough.

Phoebe had to fill Edward in on the basics. After hearing her out, Edward looked serious and said, "Why is Donovan being so dumb?"

Phoebe pressed her lips together.

She knew no matter how she spun it, Donovan gambling and embezzling funds was disgraceful.

Edward saw Phoebe's complicated expression and said, "Something this big happened, and you didn't tell me? You came to Starfall City alone. If something had happened, Evelyn would have been worried sick." "I didn't come alone," Phoebe replied.

Edward was surprised.

Phoebe looked him in the eye and said, "Theodore got here before me. By the time I arrived, he had almost everything sorted."

Edward squinted at her. "What happened to your face?"

Phoebe instinctively touched her cheek. It was cut by broken glass in a car accident. The scab had just fallen off, making it look pretty bad. "I scraped it by accident."

Edward stared at her for a long time, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Phoebe, when did you start lying to me?"

Phoebe shot back, "I'm not."

Edward just kept looking at her. Phoebe realized lying to him was pointless. They'd grown up together, and he could always tell when she was lying.

She lowered her eyes and told him about the car accident, but she didn't see the change in his expression.
