Forbidden Passion
Chapter 79 Turning Over a New Leaf

Phoebe glanced at Theodore and saw him sitting silently. She clenched her fists slightly and said, "Madison, working is exhausting, and you can't be late for a nine-to-five job."

Phoebe was well aware of Madison's laziness. When she married Theodore, Madison had just started college, but all she did every day was play games and go to nightclubs. Later, Brandon donated a library to a university, and she reluctantly enrolled. Everyone thought that after starting college, Madison would turn over a new leaf and become a different person. However, she kept skipping classes repeatedly, and eventually, her major professor had enough and sent her back home. For the past two years, Madison had been staying at home, either playing games or hanging out with a group of friends. Theodore used to intervene, but eventually, he realized she was a lost cause and turned a blind eye to her actions. However, Phoebe always felt that Madison, with such good conditions and resources, shouldn't have fallen into this kind of decadence. She didn't have the grace and demeanor expected of a privileged lady.

So, she was hesitant to let Madison join QUEEN Entertainment Company. The company had just started, and Phoebe was already extremely busy. It was fine if Madison could quietly blend in as a transparent person, but if she caused any trouble, Phoebe would definitely be overwhelmed.

"With me there, I will definitely be able to wake up on time," Madison confidently declared.

Phoebe pursed her lips and said, "Working means giving up some freedom and being subjected to restrictions. You can't just do as you please, attend when you like and skip when you don't feel like going."

"Phoebe, are you trying to stop me from working with you?" Madison looked at her unhappily. The more Phoebe resisted, the more determined she became.

Lady Reynolds glanced at Phoebe and said, "Phoebe, why don't you let Madison intern for a while? If she dares to violate the company's rules and regulations, you can fire her."

Mrs. Reynolds knew that Madison and Phoebe didn't get along, but she didn't take either side. "Phoebe, you decide. If the company doesn't need more employees, let Madison stay at home. Sometimes it's better to be idle than to cause trouble."

"Mum, I really want to learn from Phoebe," Madison pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Phoebe is a highly accomplished graduate from Kedora. After graduation, she worked and studied part-time to complete her postgraduate education. If you were as motivated as Phoebe, you wouldn't be in the situation you're in now," Mrs. Reynolds commented, tapping her head.

The discussion had reached this point, and if Phoebe rejected again, it would likely upset everyone. So, she said, "Okay, but we need to set some requirements."

Madison hadn't even had a chance to feel happy before hearing about the requirements. Her face immediately fell, and she asked, "What requirements?"

"No lateness, no leaving early, no taking random leaves, no defying superiors' arrangements. If you make a significant mistake at work, you must immediately return home. Can you meet these expectations?" Phoebe stated. Madison's expression turned sour. Phoebe's requirements left her with little time for anything else. Sabotage. She had originally planned to live lazily every day and trip Vanessa up along the way, but now that's not possible anymore. Lady Reynolds couldn't help but appreciate Phoebe's decisive actions. "I think it's good. It's about time Madison reigns in her careless nature."

Mrs. Reynolds had some reservations, thinking that Phoebe was being too extreme. However, she couldn't help but hope that someone could control her unruly daughter.

She then said, "I also think it's a good idea, Madison. What do you think?"

Madison had already voiced her thoughts. It was just about waking up early, and she was sure she could do it. So, she nodded and said, "Okay, who's afraid of who? I agree."
