Forbidden Passion

Chapter 433 Three People Are Too Crowded

Phoebe pressed one hand on her neck while trying to pry Vanessa's fingers off the window frame with the other. Vanessa clung on for dear life.

Phoebe's strength was overwhelming, nearly breaking Vanessa's fingers. Vanessa could hear the bones creaking. Desperate, she screamed, "Ruby, help me!" Ruby rushed in, flinging the door open.

The cold air hit her face, and she saw Phoebe pinning Vanessa against the open window ledge.

Most of Vanessa's body was already hanging out. If she hadn't been gripping the window frame, she would've fallen.

Ruby's heart skipped a beat, and she ran towards the window.

Phoebe looked over coldly, her voice icy, "Stop!"

Ruby froze at Phoebe's voice. She raised her hands in surrender, trying to stay calm. "Phoebe, let Vanessa down. Committing murder is against the law."

Phoebe ignored her, turning back to the wailing Vanessa. She smiled coldly, "You love taking my things. I want death right now. Why don't you fight me for it?"

Vanessa leaned forward more, screaming in terror, "Phoebe, if you let go, I won't forgive you, even as a ghost."

Ruby, paralyzed with fear, pleaded, "Phoebe, think about Evelyn and Donovan. If you become a murderer, how will they live? Let her down, and I promise she won't bother you again." Phoebe frowned, considering for a moment before rejecting Ruby's suggestion. "No, it's better if she dies."

Ruby noticed Phoebe's lost and hollow gaze, filling her with dread.

Ruby continued, "Phoebe, what about Theodore? Don't you care about him? If you become a murderer, how will he cope?"

A flicker of emotion appeared in Phoebe's eyes but quickly faded. "He's a bad person. I want him to suffer and be denied what he wants."
