Forbidden Passion

Chapter 371 Make Phoebe Respect Her

Phoebe got back to the office and almost ran into Ruby as she stepped out of the elevator. She quickly sidestepped, and Ruby barely stopped herself. "Move it," Ruby snapped, glaring at Phoebe.

Phoebe found it funny and laughed. "You charge around without looking and then blame others? Whoever yells louder is right?"

Ruby had always hated Phoebe. Phoebe was just a servant's daughter, yet Edward treated her like an equal.

Every time Ruby saw Phoebe in her social circle, she felt Phoebe dragged everyone down.

If that was all, Ruby could deal with it by avoiding events Phoebe attended. But Phoebe had to be outstanding in both character and academics.

Phoebe was like the perfect kid everyone talked about, making people envious and jealous. Even though they weren't in the same grade, Phoebe still outshined her.

Ruby's parents, Nancy Wilson and Charles Adams, would always say, "Ruby, your grades aren't even as good as Phoebe's. Aren't you ashamed?"

Ruby hated Phoebe. Phoebe should be a nobody, so why did she have to seek attention and cause trouble?

However, what really made Ruby despise Phoebe was that Phoebe had stolen Vanessa's boyfriend, Theodore.

She thought Edward was the best Phoebe could do, but Phoebe aimed higher. She wanted to marry the most prestigious man in town, Theodore.

Ruby said, "Don't think that just because you're running Queen Entertainment now, you can boss me around. Queen Entertainment will eventually go to Vanessa. You're just working for her. What's there to be proud of?" Phoebe sneered. "Ruby, I'm really curious. You've been Vanessa's lackey for years. Why weren't you by her side when she had her accident?"

"Who are you calling a lackey?" Ruby glared at her.

Phoebe replied, "Whoever responds to it."
