Forbidden Passion

Chapter 753 Exposing Edward's True Colors

After dinner, Edward didn't stay long before leaving. Phoebe saw him out, and the two stood at the front door. Edward looked at her with deep eyes. "Phoebe, I hope you'll seriously consider what I just talked to you about," he said.

The awkwardness that had just dissipated in Phoebe's heart returned. She lowered her eyelashes and stared at her shoe tips. "Edward, actually I..."

"I'm leaving." Edward leaned in to hug her, cutting off her words. "Go inside and think it over before you talk to me."

Edward patted her shoulder before gently letting go, turned around, got into the driver's seat, and drove away from the villa.

Phoebe stood by the roadside, watching the car's taillights disappear around the corner.

She stood at the door for a while, just about to turn back inside when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the corner. Without hesitation, she started running towards it.

The bodyguards inside the door didn't know what was happening. They just saw Phoebe dash past like the wind and quickly followed her.

Phoebe ran fast. She had been wearing slippers to see Edward off, and after running a short distance, her slippers fell off, but she didn't stop to pick them up. "Stop!" Phoebe shouted sternly.

The person in front heard her shout and ran even faster, disappearing almost instantly. Phoebe reached the corner, but the person was already gone.

She stood by the roadside, hands on her hips, panting heavily. The bodyguards caught up and looked down the path. "Ms. Ziegler, what happened?"

"I saw someone I know." Phoebe panted. If she had only guessed from the surveillance video last night, she was now certain that Donovan was alive.
