Chapter 559 Pain

Theodore glared at Phoebe, his heart practically on fire. She thought he offed Donovan, and that stung worse than her morning jabs. He got it-Donovan just bit the dust, and Phoebe was losing it, lashing out at anyone in her path.

But understanding it didn't make it hurt any less.

Did Phoebe really think he was that low?

He sighed, "Phoebe, I know you're messed up right now. Say whatever you want, I won't snap. Let's just head back."

Phoebe turned away, the night breeze tossing her hair around, making her look all fragile and lost. "I need to go to Golden Apartment." Evelyn still had no clue about Donovan.

The thought of breaking the news to Evelyn made her heart ache. If she couldn't handle it, how would Evelyn?

Without another word, Phoebe started walking off.

Theodore grabbed her wrist, pulling her back. "I'll take you to Golden Apartment."

"No, I got this." Phoebe slipped out of his grip and slowly walked into the night.

Theodore just stood there, hands hanging, watching her fade into the darkness, feeling a gnawing unease.

He had a gut feeling Donovan's death had driven a wedge between him and Phoebe that couldn't be fixed.

Pulling out his phone, he called Lawton. "Lawton, dig into everyone Donovan met after he got back to Kedora, and every place he hit up before the accident. I need every detail."

"Got it."
