Forbidden Passion

Chapter 558 Phoebe Suspected Theodore

Ruby didn't answer Phoebe's question. Instead, she turned to Theodore, her eyes pleading, "Mr. Reynolds, can I talk to Phoebe alone for a sec?" Theodore frowned, then turned and walked away without a word.

Theodore didn't go far, lest he not be able to get there in time if anything happened.

Ruby finally turned back to Phoebe, "Yeah, we were together last night. I went with him to a party thrown by Mr. Douglas from the Venture Capital Firm." Phoebe tilted her head, squinting at Ruby, "You were together last night, so where were you when Donovan had his accident?"

Ruby sighed, "We had a fight."

She wasn't lying. Last night, she and Donovan hit up a beach house. Everyone was having a blast until Milton pulled Donovan upstairs for a chat.

Ruby wanted to tag along, but Milton only wanted Donovan, leaving her to chill in the hall.

While waiting, Ruby got a call from Darlene. Darlene said she realized Donovan was the only guy she ever truly loved.

So, Darlene decided to come to Kedora to patch things up with Donovan.

Ruby never expected Darlene to have the audacity to come back She freaked out, trying to talk Darlene out of it, but Darlene refused to listen to a word she said and insisted on coming to Kedora. They ended up having a heated argument over the phone.

Then, Donovan suddenly came downstairs and overheard Ruby and Darlene's convo, realizing Ruby had teamed up with Darlene in Starfall City to set him up.

Ruby was terrified when she saw Donovan standing there. She tried to explain, but Donovan wasn't having it and stormed off.

Desperate, Ruby chased him out of the villa and down to the parking lot.

Donovan was fuming. No matter how much Ruby explained, he didn't believe her. In the end, he left her and drove off.
