Forbidden Passion

Chapter 580 Questioning Vanessa

With Evelyn's heads-up, Phoebe didn't dare to mess around anymore. As soon as Evelyn bounced, she snagged the car keys and hit the road. The city was soaking up the sun. Phoebe cruised over to the car shop, and the staff, spotting her in a BMW, rolled out the red carpet. Phoebe wandered around the shop, then whipped out her phone and showed a pic of Vanessa to the receptionist. "Seen her around?"

The receptionist took one look and nodded. "Oh yeah, hard to miss someone that stunning. I took a few more glances."

Phoebe dug deeper, "What was she here for?"

The receptionist scratched his head. "I didn't help her out; my buddy did. But he quit. Heard he hit the jackpot and went back home to tie the knot." Phoebe's knuckles popped.

"Got his contact info?" she asked.

The receptionist shook his head. "No, we weren't tight. What do you need him for? If it's about your car, we've got folks here who are even better. I can hook you up." Phoebe's lips tightened, her eyes icy. "Thanks, but I need something else. Can you check something for me?"

"Sure, shoot," the receptionist said.

Phoebe gave him Donovan's license plate number and asked who worked on Donovan's car that day. The receptionist quickly confirmed it was the guy who quit. Leaving the shop, Phoebe stood under the blazing sun, feeling a chill run down her spine. She was almost sure now that Donovan's death was tied to Vanessa. Phoebe drove to the hospital where Vanessa had been hanging out with Sophia lately.

Didn't take long to spot Vanessa in the hallway. Phoebe stormed over, grabbed her, and slapped her hard.

Vanessa, stunned, held her burning cheek, staring at Phoebe in shock.

"Phoebe, what the hell?" she yelled.

Phoebe glared. "Vanessa, did you have anything to do with Donovan's death?"
