Forbidden Passion
Chapter 96 Worries of the Heart.

Excited, Ruby didn't notice the disappointment in Vanessa's tone and said, "I saw Phoebe. She didn't bring anything and is sitting on the hotel lobby's couch. Looks like she's going to stay there until dawn." Vanessa suddenly perked up. "Who did you say you saw?"

"Phoebe. She looks miserable. But wasn't she here with Theodore? Why did they separate?" Ruby asked curiously.

Glancing towards the direction of the second floor, Vanessa lowered her voice and said, "Find out what's going on with her, but don't let her know."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Ruby walked towards the front desk and discreetly asked about Phoebe's situation. Seeing that she was from the production team, the front desk mentioned that Phoebe had borrowed their phone. Listening to this, Ruby felt a sense of satisfaction. Indeed, what goes around comes around. The consequences were harsh!

She called Vanessa again and said, "I've found out. It seems Theodore left her on the highway. Now she's penniless and couldn't even afford to stay in the hotel."

"She got what she deserved," Vanessa thought. Theodore must have left Phoebe on the highway because something happened to her. He must be worried about her, leading him to do such a thing.

With this realization, Vanessa felt a lot more at ease. The thought of this made her feel much happier. It seems that in Theodore's mind, she is more important than Phoebe. It's just that he's married now and it's hard for him to respond to her feelings.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Theodore pulled his tie impatiently as he stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the night-shrouded swimming pool. He saw the picture of Phoebe giving up struggling and sinking to the bottom of the pool that day.

His mind became more and more irritable, and the woman was getting more and more out of his control recently. In the past, she was always submissive in front of him, but now she seems to be rebellious, always working against him. She does what he doesn't like.

The landline on the nightstand suddenly rang. Theodore glanced at it and didn't try to answer it, but the voice was shrill and annoyed him to the extreme. He stepped towards the bedside stand, picked up the phone and said in a whisper, "speak!"

The driver on the other end of the phone said nervously, "Mr. Reynolds, I just finished washing the car and saw that Miss Adams's bag and cell phone were left in the car." "What?" Theodore's face was frighteningly gloomy.

The driver said, "Miss Adams got off in such a hurry that she seemed to have left it in the car." She was alone on the highway so late, without a cell phone or ID, what if she met a gangster! No wonder she called from a strange phone just now. It turned out that her cell phone got off the bus.

Although he knew that she was now in the hotel arranged by the program group, he was still afraid for a while. "Bring the car to the villa at once." Theodore hung up the phone with a bang and flew out the door like a gust of wind. Downstairs, Vanessa had just hung up on Ruby when she saw Theodore coming downstairs in a hurry. She quickly stood up and said, "Theodore."

"You go to bed early. I'll be stepping out." With that, he picked up the phone he had thrown on the sofa, turned it on and went out the door without looking at Vanessa.

Vanessa quickly chased out, "Theodore, where are you going? I'll go with you."

"No, go back and have a rest." With that, a black car came up, Theodore pulled open the back seat door to get in, and the black car quicky pulled away. Vanessa stood in the doorway, watching as the black car disappear, her eyes filled with hatred.
