Chapter 537 Making Her Give Up Completely

Phoebe was listening to Vanessa, her eyes darting over to Theodore as he got up. Every time she saw those two together, it felt like a punch to the gut.

She knew she shouldn't be so hung up on it, but damn, she couldn't help the jealousy.

With a tight-lipped smile, Phoebe said, "Taylor, I'm heading down to the lobby."

"Sure thing, let me know if you need some cash." Taylor gave her hand a reassuring pat. Phoebe didn't even glance back at Theodore and Vanessa before making her exit.

Out of nowhere, Vanessa called after her, "Ms. Ziegler, I'm heading to the lobby, too. Let's go together."

Phoebe's brow furrowed. What was Vanessa playing at? She didn't want to deal with her, but walking away would make her look scared.

She shot Vanessa a look. "Miss Fitzroy, lead the way."

Theodore watched them leave, frowning. He turned to Taylor. "What's Phoebe doing in the lobby?"

"There's a kid at Queen Entertainment whose mom needs surgery. Phoebe's gonna help with the medical bills. She's got a big heart," Taylor explained.

"Yeah, she'd probably rescue a stray dog herself," Theodore muttered. He sat back down, eyeing the fancy food Vanessa had brought from some five-star joint. Taylor didn't even give it a second look before chucking it in the trash. Taylor plopped down next to Theodore. "I heard you were glued to Sophia's bedside recently. What was that about?"

"Sophia was in bad shape, and James was so stressed he got sick. Vanessa was all alone, and I was worried," Theodore said.

Taylor shot him a glare, clearly pissed. "Worried? Are you their son-in-law now? Theodore, you used to have more sense." "Mom, there's nothing going on between us," Theodore said, annoyed. Taylor's anger flared. "Who'd believe that? Does Phoebe buy it?"

"Why wouldn't she?" Theodore asked, genuinely confused.
