Forbidden Passion

Chapter 483 Phoebe Gets Jealous

Bishop used to act like Vanessa was invisible, but today, for the first time, he actually accepted her kindness. He grabbed the towel and wiped the sweat off his neck. Glancing at the physical therapists, Bishop gave them a look, and they caught on, quickly making up some excuse to exit the room.

Before long, it was just Bishop and Vanessa in the rehab room, with Ruby sent out by Vanessa to keep watch.

Bishop and Vanessa leaned against the window, watching the heavy snow coming down outside.

Vanessa broke the silence as she uttered, "I heard Taylor's throwing a Christmas party. You down to crash it?"

Bishop took a swig from the water bottle, his eyes narrowing at Vanessa. He said, "Miss Fitzroy, looks like you wanna use my stubborn streak." Vanessa's face twitched a bit; she did want to use Bishop to mess up the party.

She asked, "Mr. Reynolds, you really gonna let this slide?"

Bishop's knuckles turned white as he gripped the bottle. No way he was letting it go. Ever since his leg got busted, he was full of rage.

If Brandon had married Marlowe back then, he'd be the one on top now, not Theodore.

Why should Theodore look down on him? He was older by half a year. The eldest son of the Reynolds family, and everything that should've been his!

Vanessa watched Bishop's face change and said bluntly, "You're not okay with this, are you? The Reynolds Group should've been yours, but now it's Theodore's. Anyone would be pissed."

Bishop glared at her coldly. "What do you really want? Isn't Theodore the guy you admire? You're helping others against him; is this your idea of love?"

Vanessa clenched her fists at Bishop's sarcasm. "If his life doesn't include me, then I don't care if his world burns."

Bishop gave her a sideways glance. For the first time, he really looked at Vanessa. Her face, twisted by desire, was ugly, but her eyes were sharp.
