Forbidden Passion

Chapter 866 Stirring Up Trouble

Edward drove out of the estate and took out his phone to call Phoebe. Phoebe answered quickly, and after a brief chat, Edward got straight to the point.

"Phoebe, Evelyn came to see my mom this morning. I thought she would bring the triplets along so my mom could meet them," Edward said.

Phoebe felt a bit awkward. Ever since she found out that Edward was the masked man from Starfall City's casino, she had been feeling uneasy.

Knowing that Evelyn was going to the Vanderbilt villa today also made her feel uncomfortable.

But then again, Delilah had been so good to Evelyn, and no matter how bad Edward was, he couldn't stop them from seeing each other.

She pursed her lips and said, "I heard Delilah hasn't been feeling well lately. The kids are too rambunctious and would only cause trouble if they went."

"Really? So if Evelyn isn't home, who's taking care of them?" Edward asked, testing the waters.

Phoebe pursed her lips, suddenly feeling annoyed. Edward always acted so innocent in front of her, but behind her back, he was always scheming.

She replied impatiently, "Didn't my mom tell you? Mr. Reynolds took the kids to the estate to play."

Edward detected the impatience in Phoebe's tone. He was taken aback. Just a few days ago, when he saw her, she seemed so guilty about rejecting his proposal. How had her attitude changed so quickly?

Could it be because she had reconciled with Theodore and was planning to distance herself from him?

Edward felt hurt and his tone turned sour, "Phoebe, have you forgotten how Theodore treated you? And you still trust him with the kids? Call him and ask if the kids are with him right now."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Phoebe stared at her phone in confusion. She slammed it on the table, causing the people in the meeting to look up.

Seeing Phoebe's displeased expression they quickly lowered their heads, pretending to look at their documents.

Phoebe took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. Remembering Edward's words, she knew he might be trying to drive a wedge between her and Theodore, but she couldn't help calling Theodore.
