Forbidden Passion
Chapter 83 Family Ties.

Theodore walked away for quite some time, and Madison still hadn't snapped out of it. She couldn't understand why Theodore was protecting Phoebe so much. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she decided to call Vanessa.

Vanessa had just returned to the hotel when she received the call.

On the other end of the line, she heard Madison crying, which startled her. "Madison, why are you crying?"

"Vanessa, I really hate Theodore," Madison sobbed, struggling to catch her breath. "How could he do this?"

Vanessa didn't know what had happened and felt anxious. "Don't cry, tell me what happened. Did Theodore scold you?"

"No," Madison sniffled. "But what he did hurt me even more than being scolded." Vanessa knew Madison was the little princess of the Reynolds family, and they all adored her. She couldn't imagine what Theodore could have done to make her feel worse than being scolded.

"Can you tell me what he said?"

"I..." Madison hesitated. If she told Vanessa what Theodore had said, she would surely be upset.

Vanessa's curiosity was piqued, and as Madison hesitated and stammered, making Vanessa's heart feel like it was scratched by a cat's claw. The more Madison hesitated; the more Vanessa wanted to know.

"Madison, I've always considered you my little sister. You can tell me anything, and I'll keep it between us. I won't tell Theodore," Vanessa assured her.

Madison, who was not the brightest, spilled the beans about what had just happened, to Vanessa.

The more Vanessa listened, the more shocked she became. Her face turned gloomy, but Madison, completely unaware, kept babbling, "How can Theodore bear to be intimate with someone as ugly as Phoebe?"

"Madison, I have something to attend to. Don't stay outside, go back quickly. When I return to Kedora, I'll bring you a gift," Vanessa quickly dismissed Madison.

As soon as she hung up, she smashed her phone. Ruby, who was in the bathroom wearing a face mask, heard the commotion and quickly came out. "What's wrong, Vanessa? Who made you angry?"

Vanessa's face turned pale, and she bit her lip, staring fixedly out the window. After a while, she forcibly squeezed out a grotesque smile, uglier than a cry, from that delicately pretty face. "Phoebe, let's wait and see!"

Phoebe didn't sleep well that night. She had been thinking about where to place Madison so that she wouldn't interfere with her work or cause any trouble. When she woke up early in the morning, her temples were throbbing. She went downstairs after freshening up in the bathroom, and the whole family was waiting for her to have breakfast.

Madison was wearing a pink Chanel suit, looking radiant as she said, "Phoebe, I woke up earlier than you today." Phoebe replied indifferently, "Good for you, keep it up."

Madison proudly declared, "I'll make you look at me with awe, for sure."

"To make sure you kicked out the Reynolds family, but I will persist, hm!"

Phoebe sat next to Theodore. Theodore was wearing a black shirt, without a tie, and the collar of his shirt was slightly open, giving him a lazy and casual vibe.

She glanced at him, remembering the interrupted kiss from last night, and her cheeks still felt warm.

After finishing breakfast, they returned to their room. Theodore brought a tie and stood next to Phoebe. "Could you help me tie my tie?"

Phoebe was taken aback. How long had it been since he asked her to help him with his tie?
