Forbidden Passion

Chapter 413 Heart-Piercing

Vanessa caught Phoebe eyeing the diamond ring on her finger and flaunted it even more.

"Like my ring, Ms. Ziegler? Theodore gave it to me when he picked me up from Lindell Harbor. I love it," Vanessa said.

Phoebe stayed calm, knowing Vanessa fed off her reactions.

"Nice ring, bad choice," Phoebe replied.

Vanessa showed off the ring like a model. "Too bad Theodore never gave you one in your three-year relationship. Even as his wife, he doesn't care about you." Phoebe's face fell. She'd seen the ring online, but in person, it stung more.

How ironic!

The ring that had once been hers was on Vanessa's finger, likely placed there by Theodore himself.

Phoebe leaned in, locking eyes with Vanessa. "It's just a ring. I'm not that petty. He's mine, and so is his property."

Vanessa snapped, "Stop lying. You had a prenup. His property isn't yours."

"True, there was a prenup," Phoebe smirked. "But he never signed it, so it's just a piece of paper."

Phoebe had drafted the prenup, but she didn't want his money. Even so, Theodore never signed it.

Vanessa was stunned. "No way!"
