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.

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.
