Forbidden Passion
Chapter 398 Imprisoned

Bishop stayed quiet for a while before finally saying, "I'll trust you this time, but I need you to do one thing to prove you can be my partner." "What is it?" Vanessa asked.

Bishop glanced at Marlowe, who was pacing nearby, and said, "I want Taylor to know about my mother and me."

Vanessa squinted. "What's in it for me?"

"Miss Fitzroy, I'm in charge here. If you can't do it, forget it. I won't push you." Bishop started to wheel himself away.

Vanessa gritted her teeth. "Fine, it's easy for me. If I do it, you have to listen to me afterward."

"Deal!" Bishop agreed.

Vanessa didn't stick around. She wheeled herself away.

Bishop watched her leave, a hint of mockery in his eyes. A woman with too much desire becomes very ugly. No wonder Theodore left Vanessa for Phoebe. Marlowe quickly walked over and saw Bishop staring at Vanessa. She felt uneasy. "Bishop, what did Miss Fitzroy talk to you about?"

"Nothing. I want to go back to my room." Bishop closed his eyes, hiding his emotions.

Marlowe sighed and pushed Bishop back to his room.

Vanessa returned to her room and called Ruby, who had been ignoring her for days.

But she needed Ruby, so she had to make up with her.

Ruby was surprised to receive Vanessa's call. Although her anger had faded, she didn't want to be the first to give in.

Vanessa calling her was an opportunity, so she took it.

Within two hours, Ruby came to the hospital with flowers and a fruit basket. Seeing Vanessa's leg in a cast, Ruby's eyes reddened.

"I told you, but you didn't listen. Now, the role of Luna Hughes was given to Claire. Do you know how many people are laughing at you?" Ruby said. Vanessa didn't argue. She looked remorseful and admitted her mistake. "Ruby, I'm sorry. I was foolish. It won't happen again."

Ruby couldn't scold her for seeing her so pitiful. "Forget it. As long as Mr. Reynolds supports you, you'll get better roles once your leg heals." Vanessa sighed. "I've already fallen out of favor."

Ruby hadn't been to the company lately but had spies there and knew about the recent conflicts between Phoebe and Theodore.

Ruby said, "No, Phoebe is the one out of favor. She hasn't been to the company for days, and the atmosphere in the president's office is tense." Vanessa thought, 'How could Phoebe be out of favor? Yesterday, Theodore even adopted a cat to please her. She must be very happy now.' Phoebe's social media post last night was definitely to make Vanessa jealous.

Vanessa knew Theodore no longer had romantic feelings for her, but they had known each other for over a decade. Theodore wouldn't abandon her.

As long as Theodore didn't cut ties with her, Vanessa could stir up trouble between them and make their lives difficult.

"Any other gossip about the Reynolds Group?" Vanessa asked.

Ruby paused, then remembered, "Yeah, Bishop's love child status got exposed. It's all over the company, but Mr. Reynolds has forbidden everyone from talking about it, so Madison probably doesn't know yet."

Vanessa squinted. "Then find a way to tell her."

Ruby looked at her. "Vanessa, you mean..."

Vanessa looked up at Ruby. "Ruby, everyone knows except Madison. Don't you think that's sad?"

Ruby nodded. "That's true."

"I can't stand seeing her kept in the dark and laughed at. She'll find out eventually. It's impossible to hide it," Vanessa said sympathetically.

Ruby nodded. "I'll find a way to tell her. But it can't come from us, or Mr. Reynolds will blame you."

"Okay!" Vanessa put on an innocent and harmless expression. Ruby thought she was genuinely concerned for Madison and took out her phone to contact her informant.

When Phoebe arrived at the company, she felt everyone was looking at her strangely. She went back to her office and checked her appearance in the glass.

Phoebe thought, 'My face is clean, and my makeup is fine. Why are they looking at me like that?'

John knocked and entered. Phoebe was already seated at her desk. She pointed to her face and said, "John, is there something on my face? Why does everyone seem so weird?"

John pursed his lips. "Yesterday, a few employees were gossiping in the open office area, and Miss Reynolds overheard. The news about Mr. Reynolds' affair and love child is probably out." Phoebe looked surprised. "Madison didn't know?"

No wonder Madison was so carefree with them yesterday. She thought Madison already knew and just didn't care.

John replied, "Yes, Mr. Reynolds ordered everyone not to mention it in front of Miss Reynolds, but she found out yesterday."

Phoebe knew why Brandon had given that order. She and Theodore had known for a while but hadn't told Taylor.

Brandon probably thought that as long as Madison was kept in the dark, Taylor wouldn't find out.

So when a man cheats, the wife is the most pitiful because the whole world might know while she is kept in the dark. Phoebe asked, "Did she find out yesterday?"

John nodded. "Yes."

"When yesterday?" she asked again.

John replied, "In the afternoon, Miss Reynolds came back from outside and overheard. She then went to Mr. Reynolds' office and caused a scene."

Phoebe frowned. "So it was quite a commotion. If she made such a fuss, why is it so quiet at the estate?"

Madison would definitely tell Taylor about this. If Taylor knew, it wouldn't be this quiet.

"Did anyone see Madison leave the company?" Phoebe suddenly asked.

John shook his head. "I didn't notice. Ms. Ziegler, do you mean..."

Brandon probably locked up Madison, and her phone was likely taken away, so Taylor remained unaware. But this couldn't be hidden forever. Phoebe suddenly stood up. "I'm going to the president's office. John, call me if anything comes up."

With that, Phoebe hurriedly left her office and took the elevator upstairs.
