Forbidden Passion

Chapter 695 A Long-Planned Scheme

Phoebe suddenly got this bad feeling and said, "That dress is worth a million bucks. What do you think?" Evelyn replied, "We're in deep trouble."

There was a loud thud, followed by Hubert, Boris, and Noomi urgently calling for Evelyn.

Phoebe's heart skipped a beat. She called out for Evelyn a few times, but there was no answer, and the call dropped. Phoebe couldn't sit still any longer. She grabbed her bag and rushed out.

As she passed the secretary's desk, she said, "Call me if anything comes up. Also, have Guadalupe meet me downstairs."

Lori didn't even have time to respond before Phoebe hurried off, clearly in a rush.

Lori quickly called Guadalupe to bring the car around.

Phoebe rushed home and, as she walked in, saw Pamela sitting quietly on the couch with the kids, while Evelyn stood there, hands on her hips, scolding them. "That dress is worth a million dollars, and every diamond on it is real. I can't believe you guys were playing with those diamonds! Do you have any idea how much that dress costs? You little rascals!"

The kids sat there obediently, but one curious child couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, what's a diamond?"

Evelyn, mid-rant, almost lost her train of thought. "A diamond is that shiny stone you were just playing with."

Seeing Evelyn answer questions, Boris chimed in, "What's a rascal? Can we play with it?"

Evelyn was so mad she almost fainted. These were the most difficult kids she'd ever dealt with. She scolded them, but they didn't seem to care.

Just as Evelyn was about to lose it, Phoebe walked in and said, "Mom, it's okay. They're still young and don't understand."

Evelyn, still fuming, saw Phoebe and slapped her on the shoulder. "How could you leave that expensive dress on the couch? They took all the diamonds off to play with."
