Forbidden Passion
Chapter 69 A Game of Intrigue

Patrick sat next to them, feeling a distinct atmosphere that no one else could interrupt. Seeing Theodore gazing at Phoebe with a certain expression, he raised his hand and covered his face. How embarrassing.

He noticed it, and so did everyone else. They all looked sympathetically at Vanessa, who was so angry that she nearly bit her teeth off.

Ruby, as Vanessa's loyal supporter, stood up and suggested, "Just drinking like this is boring. Why don't we play a game of Truth or Dare?"

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. Everyone moved to sit on the nearby long sofa, forming a circle.

After changing seats, Vanessa found a spot next to Theodore and saw him looking slightly intoxicated. She softly asked, "Theodore, are you alright?"

Theodore nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Vanessa said, "Let me pour you a cup of tea. It helps with hangovers, and you'll feel better after drinking it."

Sitting on the other side of Theodore, Phoebe heard this and said, "He shouldn't drink tea after alcohol; it will cause stomachache. Didn't you know that, Miss Fitzroy?"

Vanessa was taken aback, and her face quickly turned pale. "I... I didn't know."

"It's fine, I'll rely on myself," Theodore said calmly. He leaned against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Vanessa glanced at Phoebe, feeling resentful. If Phoebe hadn't intervened, how could she not know these things?

Ruby organized the game while keeping an eye on the situation. Seeing Vanessa being at a disadvantage all night, she secretly worried.

She brought a bottle of red wine and said, "Everyone has played this game before, so I won't go into the rules. The bottom of the bottle points to the person who asks the question, and the mouth of the bottle points to the person who answers."

Saying that, she sat between the two men, directly facing Phoebe, and said, "Now, I'll spin the bottle."

Everyone was excited. Truth or Dare was a game that could be played from school to work, and it never went out of style. The best part was that it was simple yet thrilling.

In the first round, the bottle landed on two male classmates. One of them asked a bold question, and the other chose to drink.

Round after round passed until the fourth round, when the bottle pointed to Phoebe and Ruby was answering. Ruby was thrilled.

"Miss Ziegler, truth or dare?"

Phoebe glanced at Theodore, who was leaning back on the sofa, clearly drunk. His handsome face had a faint flush. If she chose dare, she would have to drink. That would render Theodore's well-intentioned act of blocking the alcohol for her futile.

She bit her lip. "I choose truth."

A triumphant gleam flashed in Ruby's eyes as she pretended to pick up her phone. In reality, she had already thought of a question.

"Miss Ziegler, when was the first time you had a deep kiss with a guy?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone exclaimed in surprise. It was so scandalous. Everyone could sense She knew Ruby would cause trouble; after all, many people present knew about Phoebe's conversation with Edward. Looking at Theodore, who was resting with his eyes closed, Phoebe couldn't help but notice his protective posture towards her just now. It was undoubtedly a public execution.

Phoebe stared at Ruby, who made no attempt to conceal her satisfaction. She already anticipated this when she chose "truth," knowing that Ruby wouldn't let her off easily.

Under the intense and unabashed gazes of the crowd, Phoebe felt somewhat embarrassed. Her voice was barely audible as she said, "Three years ago."

The crowd cheered, "Three years ago, with whom?"
