Forbidden Passion
Chapter 167 How Do You Know His Heart Isn't with Me?

Vanessa's face changed color, "You're lying. You, a girl from a small family who climbed her way up by underhanded means, using a child to force a marriage Theodore couldn't have been unprepared for that. He must have signed a prenuptial

agreement with you."

"The fact is, he really didn't sign a prenuptial agreement with me," Phoebe said coldly.

Vanessa seemed greatly shocked, "How is that possible?"

Phoebe shrugged, "So, as long as we're still together, whether QUEEN Entertainment falls into your hands is still up in the air."

"Right, even if I did divorce him, if I asked for QUEEN Entertainment, he wouldn't refuse me. So, Miss Fitzroy, don't be too sure of yourself!"

She was deliberately provoking Vanessa, finding pleasure in watching her frenzied and ugly countenance.

"Phoebe, you're truly pitiable. Since you're unable to win his heart, you're set on taking away the gift he was going to give me. I really do feel sorry for you." Vanessa was tearing Phoebe apart in her heart, but her face still wore a smile. Phoebe retorted, "I've been married to him for three years. How do you know his heart isn't with me?"

Vanessa felt a sudden pain in her chest, like she was pricked by Phoebe's words.

Since her return to the country, Theodore had been good to her as always, but it was different from before, always wrapped in distance and politeness.

In his heart, he seemed to treat her more like a friend he had known for over a decade rather than a long-lost lover.

"Miss Ziegler, have you forgotten? He has always chosen me. Should I laugh at your naivety or your stupidity?" Vanessa used sarcasm to mask her panic.

At that moment, she couldn't be as certain that Theodore still liked her as he had before.

Phoebe didn't want to go round in circles with her anymore. She pulled out a document and slapped it in front of her, "This is your work schedule going forward. Go if you want."

Seeing Phoebe avoiding the subject, Vanessa felt somewhat relieved. Theodore didn't love her, and he hadn't fallen for Phoebe either, which was good.

She took the document and stood up, and before leaving the office, she said, "Phoebe, I won't let go."

Phoebe clenched the pen in her hand, stunned for a moment, then she signed her name on the document again.

She signed with such force that the final stroke nearly tore through the paper. She closed the document and tossed it aside, taking a deep breath. Vanessa left the Reynolds Group building and drove towards the Reynolds Mansion. Having lost the initiative, she couldn't continue to sit idly by.

When she arrived, Mrs. Reynolds was accompanying Lady Reynolds sunbathing in the yard, the ten o'clock morning sun not yet too strong.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting when they saw a cute and lovely Volkswagen Beetle drive in.

Lady Reynolds stretched her arm toward the car, "That's a nice car. Once Madison passes her probation period, we'll have Brandon buy her one. She's been complaining about the hassle of transferring subways every day, hasn't she?" "I was thinking the same thing," Mrs. Reynolds said, then saw Vanessa get out of the car and waved at her, "Vanessa, what brings you here?"

Vanessa brought a big bag of fruit over, and Lucy hurried to take it. Mrs. Reynolds smiled, "You're here, and you even brought something with you?"

Vanessa greeted them, her smile gentle, "I saw it was fresh and just bought it on a whim. Grandma, you look really good in the dress; is that designer embroidery?"

"You have a good eye. It is designer embroidery," Lady Reynolds was pleased. "Phoebe brought it over yesterday."
