Forbidden Passion
Chapter 296 Who Gave You That Drink Three Years Ago

Feeling faint that Bishop was losing control, Brandon couldn't keep this time bomb by his side. Or it would explode sooner or later.

Bishop frowned at Brandon. "I'm not afraid of your investigation."

Brandon looked at Marlowe and said, "Marlowe, let me talk to Bishop alone."

Marlowe looked at Brandon, then at Bishop, and finally picked up her phone. Then, she went back to the bedroom, leaving the restaurant to the father and son.

Brandon gestured for Bishop to sit down, his presence strong, and Bishop also wanted to hear the conditions he had to say, so he sat down.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Brandon said, "I have a profitable company in Auroville. Take your mom to Auroville."

Bishop didn't expect Brandon's condition to be to drive him out of Kedora. His pupils contracted, his heart ached, and then he exploded in anger.

Bishop immediately stood up, glaring fiercely at Brandon. "You want us to leave?"

Bishop stood up too abruptly, the chair crashing to the ground. Marlowe thought the father and son were fighting, so she hurried out of the bedroom and heard Bishop's outburst.

Marlowe looked at Brandon with sad eyes. "Brandon, is what Bishop said true? Do you want us to leave Kedora?"

Brandon pursed his lips, a touch of cruelty on his usually dignified face.

Brandon knew that what he was doing was heartless, but leaving Bishop in Kedora would eventually cause trouble, and he had to be cautious.

"Marlowe, I've thought it through for you. Sunset Hotel is under renovation now. When it's done, who knows what the situation will be? Go to Auroraville. The senior staff at the company have been with me for many years. They will take care of you. In the future, that company will be Bishop's. Besides, the girls in Auroraville are all very beautiful. If Bishop marries an Auroraville girl, there won't be any disrespect towards you in the future," Brandon replied.

Marlowe bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. She never expected that after waiting for Brandon for twenty years and being by his side for ten years, she would be abandoned in the end.

But Marlowe was used to being submissive. For a moment, she couldn't find a reason to object.

However, Bishop was different. He stared at Brandon fiercely and shouted, "We're not leaving. We won't follow your arrangements."

Brandon furrowed his brow, looking at his still-rebellious son, and said, "I've told you before that once your existence is exposed, you have to leave Kedora. Since you're not willing to listen to me now, it's better to leave."

Bishop sneered. "You can dream. Mom, this is the man you've loved for over thirty years. Brandon doesn't want you anymore such a heartless guy. You still consider everything for him. I think he sees us as disposable pets." "Bishop!" Brandon's face changed. "If it weren't for you scheming against Phoebe, I wouldn't let you leave!"

Bishop laughed, "How ironic. In your eyes, we're not even as important as strangers. Let me tell you, I'm not leaving, and neither is my mom."

Brandon knew Bishop wouldn't agree to leave Kedora, and he didn't want to argue with him here. He just left with a final statement: "Go to Auroraville. The company in Auroville is yours. If you stay in Kedora, you'll have nothing, including Sunset Hotel."

With that, Brandon slammed the door shut and left.

Marlowe took a few steps forward, watching the closed door, tears falling, while Bishop was smashing things in the restaurant.

Brandon went downstairs, where Daisy was waiting by the car. Seeing Brandon storm out, Daisy quickly opened the back door, waited for Brandon to get in, closed the door, then swiftly got into the driver's seat and drove off. Brandon adjusted his collar and let out a sigh.

"Daisy, keep an eye on Bishop recently, don't let him cause trouble," Brandon instructed.

Daisy nodded. "Okay."

Daisy had been by Brandon's side for so many years because he never asked too many questions. Even when Brandon looked like negotiations had failed, she never asked a word more.

Brandon closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back."

Taylor seemed to have noticed something recently, suddenly becoming much warmer towards Brandon. Although they had been married for a long time, Brandon was unexpectedly charmed by Taylor's gestures, feeling like his heart had come alive again.

The couple returned to their honeymoon. At this point, Brandon was extremely unwilling to tell Taylor about his affair.

In this lifetime, Brandon had already wronged Marlowe, not wanting to hurt another woman he loved.

In Starbucks, Phoebe sat by the window, looking out at the night. An afternoon rain had refreshed the city.

The weather was still hot, and the water on the ground quickly evaporated, releasing heat.

Suddenly, someone pushed open the cafe's door. The tall, long-legged person scanned the room before heading straight towards Phoebe.

A shadow fell over her head. When seeing the person in the glass reflection, Phoebe turned to say, "Have a seat."

Edward pulled out a chair and sat down across from Phoebe. After the last incident, he thought Phoebe would never meet him again.

Edward stared at Phoebe's face. She had heavy makeup on today as if trying to hide something. Edward furrowed his brow. "I heard about Mr. Tompson."

After hearing the news, Edward sent someone to find out which hospital Mr. Tompson was in and then admitted him to the ICU. He was sure Mr. Tompson would never dare show up in front of Phoebe again.

Phoebe felt uneasy and touched her face. "I'm fine."

"You've been in the hospital for a few days and still said you're fine. Phoebe, what have you been holding on to all these years?" Edward finally asked what had been puzzling him.

Edward didn't understand when Phoebe chose to intern at the Reynolds Group. Later, when Phoebe gave up their relationship and married Theodore, Edward still didn't understand.

If Phoebe was after money and power, she had been married to Theodore for over three years, and they were still in a hidden marriage. Even after taking over QUEEN Entertainment, she didn't use the Reynolds Group's reputation to gather resources.

Otherwise, Mr. Tompson would prefer to avoid making a move against Phoebe.

Phoebe pursed her lips. "You wouldn't understand. Let's not talk about that today. Let's talk about the class reunion three years ago."

Edward was surprised and looked at Phoebe in disbelief. "What?"

Phoebe stared at Edward, not missing any subtle expressions on his face. "I'm allergic to certain substances. It is only after Mr. Tompson's incident that I realize he has schemed against me. And during the days when I had a miscarriage three years ago, I had similar allergic reactions. I remember the drink I had that day was given to me by you."

Edward's face changed slightly, "Phoebe, what are you implying? Do you think I drugged you?"

"Edward, I don't believe you would do something so despicable. So, who gave you the drink?" Phoebe stared at Edward.

Edward, with a softened expression, was undoubtedly comforted by Phoebe's words. "Phoebe, let me think about it."
