Forbidden Passion
Chapter 530 Severance!

Phoebe hustled over. Taylor and Marlowe, who were about to throw down, froze when they saw her.

Taylor, always worried about her image, cleared her throat, straightened her clothes, and turned her head with a huff, though her ears were turning red. Phoebe thought, 'So Theodore's got that attitude from Taylor, huh?'

"Taylor, are you okay? Theodore got a call from the cops and freaked out. You hurt?" Phoebe asked.

Taylor waved it off. "I'm fine. I won the fight. Marlowe's worse off than me."

She sounded pretty smug.

Phoebe was both amused and annoyed. No matter how old or high up, rebellion made everyone seem like a kid. She said, "You're the best."

The female cop trying to mediate was speechless.

Theodore walked over. Tall and handsome, the female cop looked at him with heart eyes.

Theodore ignored her and said flatly, "Can we take her now?"

The female cop, chilled by his tone, quickly said, "Just sign here, and you can take her."

Theodore grabbed the pen and quickly signed Taylor's paperwork. He put the pen down and asked, "That it?"

The female cop replied, "Yeah, but you should talk to your mom. She beat that lady up pretty bad, and it's lucky she's not pressing charges. Don't let it happen again." Theodore walked straight to Taylor, picked up her limited edition platinum bag, and said, "Let's go."

Taylor quickly stood up. Without looking at Marlowe again, she followed Theodore. As Phoebe passed by Marlowe, she paused but said nothing, then quickly caught up with Taylor. They had just reached the entrance when they saw Brandon and Bishop coming in. Both sides stopped in their tracks.

Seeing Brandon and Bishop together at the police station, Taylor's anger flared. Without thinking, she grabbed the platinum bag from Theodore and started whacking Brandon with it. Brandon didn't expect Taylor to start hitting him. He dodged while trying not to hurt her. "Taylor, do you know where you are? You can't just cause trouble here!"

"So what if I cause trouble? I'll beat you to death, you heartless jerk. We've been married for thirty years, and I never saw your true colors. I must have been blind." Taylor was both angry and hurt.

Taylor didn't hold back, and the platinum bag was pretty heavy. It hurt when it hit Brandon.

Daisy, seeing this, quickly stepped in front of Brandon, taking several hits from Taylor's bag.

"Daisy, move aside. I don't want to hurt the innocent," Taylor shouted angrily.

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, and fearing it might make headlines if caught by reporters, Theodore quickly stepped down the stairs and hugged Taylor.

Theodore comforted. "Mom, chill."

Taylor's eyes were red with anger. "How can I chill? We've been married for thirty years. He promised at our wedding not to let me down or make me sad. But now, he wants to divorce me and be with another woman. How can I bear this?" she said, hurt.

Phoebe knew that Taylor still loved Brandon a lot. She only pretended to be carefree to avoid worrying them.

She looked at Brandon, who had a pained expression. He stepped forward and called, "Taylor."

"Don't you dare say my name. If you think you can divorce me and marry Marlowe, you're dreaming. I'll make sure she stays a side chick forever, and Bishop will always be a bastard!" Taylor's eyes were blazing with resentment. Taylor had never been wronged in her life, but now she was deeply hurt by the man she loved most, Brandon.

Her heart was filled with hatred, resentment, and unwillingness, turning her into a woman with a grudge.

"Taylor, don't be so vicious," Brandon shouted angrily. He already felt guilty towards Marlowe and Bishop, and hearing Taylor's harsh words made him feel even worse.

Brandon had previously wanted to send Marlowe and Bishop away from Kedora, hoping Taylor could remain a carefree princess, oblivious to everything.

During this period, Brandon had aged ten years due to Taylor's tantrums. He knew he had wronged Taylor, but he also felt guilty towards Marlowe and Bishop. Brandon spoke, "If your father hadn't forced me to marry you to help the Reynolds family through tough times, I would never have married you."

When people lose their sanity, they say the most heartless things.

But often, they regret it the moment the words leave their mouth.

Taylor froze, staring blankly at Brandon with empty, confused eyes. "What did you just say?"

Phoebe quickly walked over, trying to take Taylor away. "Taylor, let's go home."

Taylor shook off Phoebe's hand and stared at Brandon. "I asked you, what did you just say?"

Bishop, who had been watching the drama, added, "My dad said if your father hadn't forced him..."

"Bishop, shut up!" Brandon shouted angrily. Seeing Bishop remain silent, he hurriedly walked towards Taylor. "Taylor."

Taylor covered her ears. "From now on, I don't want to hear your voice or see you. Brandon, the thing I regret most in my life is trusting you wholeheartedly," she said sadly. With that, Taylor staggered away.

Phoebe quickly caught up and supported Taylor as they walked out.

Theodore witnessed the whole scene. He looked at Brandon, a cold smile on his lips. "Well done. From this moment on, you are no longer my father."

"Theodore." Brandon chased a few steps, then suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. Daisy was terrified and rushed over, calling out, "Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Reynolds." Daisy saw Brandon's face turning purple, his throat seemingly blocked, showing signs of a stroke. She didn't dare move him and quickly called for an ambulance.

Theodore heard the commotion behind him but didn't stop. Phoebe glanced at him, then heard Daisy calling for an ambulance and turned to look.

That glance made Phoebe's heart almost stop.

Phoebe grabbed Taylor's arm, her voice trembling. "Taylor, Brandon has collapsed. Daisy is calling for an ambulance."

Taylor's heart was stone-cold. "From now on, Brandon has nothing to do with me."

Phoebe added, "But what if he ends up with a brain hemorrhage?"

Before Phoebe could finish, Taylor suddenly stopped. She turned and saw Brandon lying on the ground, unconscious. Taylor broke free from Phoebe's hand and ran over.
