Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 195

Chapter 195:

“Why don’t you have any shame as a woman?” Corley criticized Phoebe as soon as he spoke. He then turned to face Jacob, saying, “I warned you about messing around with these types. Look at the mess you’ve caused.”

Jacob pressed his lips together and looked at Phoebe. He didn’t respond to her, so she stayed put. The tension was palpable. Corley called the security guard without hesitation, “Escort this woman out.”

“If anyone lays a hand on me, I’ll kill myself in front of the hotel’s gate!” Phoebe threatened. “Mr. Meyer, there’s no need to call security. Just have your son answer my question, and I’ll leave at once.”

If she died here, it would be a serious matter. The Meyer and Beckett families would be caught up in a scandal with potentially lifelong negative consequences.

Corley gritted his teeth and ordered Jacob, “Get rid of her.”

Jacob clenched his jaw and averted his gaze from Phoebe. He appeared conflicted, his brow deeply furrowed. A myriad of emotions flashed across his face. His silence exhausted everyone’s patience and left Phoebe in an awkward position.

“Phoebe, can’t you see? Maybe he cares for you a little bit and doesn’t want to humiliate you in front of everyone. If you’re smart, you’ll get out of here now,” Megan said. Megan clutched Jacob’s arm, noticing his body tense up because of her action. Her expression changed for a moment before she regained her composure.

Phoebe’s lips trembled as she asked, “Is that true?”

Jacob remained silent, lowering his eyes to hide his thoughts. Corley muttered a curse under his breath, signaling Jacob to resolve the issue quickly. But Jacob remained unmoved, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Phoebe’s heart sank. She sneered, “Alright, I get it. If you’re not coming with me, we should never see each other again.”

With that, Phoebe turned and walked away, the hem of her dress swishing through the air. Jacob snapped back to reality as he watched her hurry away from the crowd. He took a small step forward, but Corley gripped his shoulder. “Don’t you dare leave here,” Corley said.

All the strength seemed to drain from Jacob’s body as he watched in frustration as Phoebe vanished down the hall. Corley signaled for everyone to resume the engagement party.

“I’m going to check on Phoebe,” Eileen said, noticing that Jacob hadn’t followed her. She felt a pang of sympathy for Phoebe.

Noticing her frown, Bryan spoke slowly. “Jacob’s mother isn’t well and can’t handle this stress. That’s why he can’t just leave the party.” Only then did Eileen realize that Jacob’s mother wasn’t present at the engagement celebration. So his mother’s health condition must be serious.
