Forbidden Passion

Chapter 528 Phoebe Acting Spoiled

Phoebe had known Ruby forever and knew exactly what kind of person she was. No way Ruby could pull one over on her.

Phoebe asked, "What's your deal with Donovan?"

Ruby's face went all awkward. She looked down, cheeks turning pink. "I know I've messed up a lot before, but I'll be good to you from now on."

Phoebe was speechless, thinking, 'Ruby wants to be Donovan's wife and mess up my life every day? Yeah, right.'

Phoebe rubbed her forehead. "I don't wanna fight. Just tell me, did you and Vanessa have anything to do with my dad's death?"

Ruby bit her lip and stayed quiet.

Phoebe sneered. "I knew it. I wondered why Donovan suddenly brought up my dad's death. Did you think bringing this up would make me divorce Theodore?"

"No," Ruby said nervously, looking at Phoebe. "Vanessa knew that was a stretch. She just wants to keep you from going to the Christmas banquet."

Phoebe squinted. "Is she scared of our marriage going public?"

Ruby nodded. "Yeah."

Phoebe clenched her fists. "You guys are shameless, just using Donovan's gullibility. He believes everything you say."

Ruby looked helplessly at Phoebe. "Phoebe, don't talk about Donovan like that. He's not gullible, he's..."

"Shut up!" Phoebe cut her off. She didn't want to hear the word "kind" today. Frustrated, she ruffled her hair. "I don't care if your feelings for Donovan are real or fake. Leave him now, or I'll spill everything you've done to me." Even though Phoebe knew Donovan wouldn't believe her...
