Forbidden Passion

Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Edward, Don't Let Me Down

Phoebe had been missing for a week, and despite Theodore's exhaustive efforts, he couldn't find her. She either hid well or something bad happened, and Theodore feared the worst. Ruby was worried Vanessa might have already found someone to harm Phoebe.

"If I could predict the future, I would've had someone waiting to kill her the moment she was alone," Vanessa said, wiping her neck.

That day in the hospital lobby, she deliberately provoked Phoebe. If Phoebe had stayed indifferent despite losing the company and the engagement ring, Vanessa would've respected her toughness. But Phoebe had desires and cared about things, proving she wasn't invincible.

Ruby quietly sighed in relief.

"Vanessa, don't do anything rash. We live in a society with laws, and murder is illegal," Ruby advised. "We don't need to stress over Phoebe."

Vanessa glanced at her and asked, "Ruby, what's up with you lately? Didn't you used to wish Phoebe would disappear?"

Ruby was taken aback, worried Vanessa might notice something. She said, "Yes, I do wish she'd disappear, but I don't want you to ruin your future over her."

Vanessa squinted at Ruby for a long time until Ruby felt uncomfortable. Then, she looked away and said, "Of course, I won't. Even though I want Phoebe dead, I wouldn't do it myself." 'Who wouldn't use someone else's hand to kill?'

Ruby's heart, which had settled, was on edge again. She called, "Vanessa."

"Look at you, so scared your face is pale. I'm joking. Don't worry. I don't hate her enough to want her dead," Vanessa said, waving her hand.

Ruby felt uneasy. Ever since their falling out and reconciliation, Vanessa had become harder to read, more unpredictable.
