Forbidden Passion

Chapter 608 Phoebe Went on a Hunger Strike

Phoebe's face went ghost-white. She must've been outta her mind to say that.

If she hadn't blurted it out, would Theodore still be using it against her now?

But seriously, what did her love for Theodore even matter?

She spilled her guts in a life-or-death moment, thinking she might never get another shot. Yet Theodore, knowing how she felt, still ditched her to save Vanessa.

Phoebe kept telling herself not to hold a grudge, but she couldn't. Every time she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, she could feel her intense hatred for Theodore. She couldn't forgive him.

"I don't like you," Phoebe insisted.

Theodore was stunned. He slowly lifted his head to look at her, disbelief in his eyes, and his voice was very soft, "What did you say?"

Phoebe looked at Theodore expressionlessly, "That was just a stopgap measure. I knew Vanessa and I were kidnapped at the same time, and I knew you could only raise five hundred million dollars in one day to save one person. I wanted to increase my chances of being saved, so I said that on purpose."

Theodore's eyes instantly turned terrifying, "You're lying!"

Phoebe met Theodore's gaze without flinching, "Mr. Reynolds, if I really liked you, would I have waited until that day to say it?"

Theodore gripped Phoebe's hand tightly, as if clinging to a final hope. He said, "No, you're lying. You clearly said you liked me. I couldn't have heard it wrong."

Phoebe shook her head, looking at him with pity, "Stop deceiving yourself. How could I possibly like someone who forced himself on me? Am I out of my mind? Think about these past four years. Have you ever treated me like a person?"

Theodore called, "Phoebe."
