Forbidden Passion

Chapter 385 You Want a Divorce, Over My Dead Body

Phoebe followed Daisy to the chairman's office. Brandon was lounging on a dark leather sofa, his middle-aged face showing signs of age and authority. Hearing footsteps, he looked up at Phoebe and gestured. "Sit."

Phoebe sat across from Brandon, feeling a bit uneasy. She placed her hands on her knees. "Mr. Reynolds, you wanted to see me," she said.

Brandon glanced at Daisy, who then left, closing the door behind her.

"Phoebe, I heard you've been away from home for a few days. Is Theodore giving you trouble? You can tell me and your mom if something's wrong," Brandon said warmly. Phoebe was surprised.

"You're both adults. Running away after a fight isn't the solution. Move back home tonight. I'll talk to Theodore," Brandon continued.

Phoebe hadn't expected Brandon to bring up her relationship with Theodore. Wasn't he more worried about the Bishop scandal? "Dad, I..."

Brandon saw her hesitation and asked gently, "Is there a problem?"

Phoebe lowered her head. She didn't want to go back to the Imperial Apartment. It wasn't that she feared Theodore would hurt her, but after everything, she didn't know how to face him. "Dad, I want a divorce from Mr. Reynolds," Phoebe said, summoning her courage to look at Brandon. "We can't go on anymore."

Brandon's brow furrowed, and his gaze became more serious. "Phoebe, do you know what you're saying?"

"I do," Phoebe replied earnestly. "After the divorce, I'll leave Kedora and never bother him again."
