Chapter 126

Author: River Fish
Blake led Phoebe into Flynn's office, where the desk was a total mess.

Now that they were back in the office, Flynn had calmed down. He now had to face the game development issues.

Blake pulled out a chair and invited Phoebe to sit. Flynn couldn't stand seeing him fawn over her, so he snorted and looked at Phoebe. "You're still here?"

It had been a long time since they'd seen each other. There hadn't been time earlier to take a closer look, so Phoebe scrutinized him now. "Weren't you curious?"

Flynn scoffed. "Talk or leave."

"I've divorced Connor. I'm just waiting to pick up the divorce certificate."

Flynn had one hand on the computer mouse. He suddenly clenched it and moved his gaze from the computer screen to her. His expression turned serious. "Then why has he come after me?"

"I work at Spectrum Group. The CEO is Connor's half-brother. Connor is forcing me to quit, but I'm resisting. Since I refused to leave, he went after you to pressure me into leaving. That's why I'm the o

    When Phoebe didn't say anything, Dahlia grew even more smug. She crowed, "Are you scared now?"Chloe happened to come over then and was surprised. "Phoebe…"Dahlia snorted. "If you are, you had better apologize to me—"She abruptly stopped talking and screamed as Phoebe slapped her squarely in the face. Phoebe had put so much force into it that Dahlia staggered backward, looking dumbstruck as she cupped her cheek.Chloe was equally stunned. She silently mouthed a curse.Dahlia was so shocked that she didn't even have time to feel angry. She gaped at Phoebe, her eyes unfocused and filled with astonishment.Phoebe slapped her again, and she swayed on her feet once more.Chloe was the first to return to her senses. She wanted to step forward to break up the fight, but Phoebe gripped Dahlia by the neck and pinned her to the wall.She was slightly taller than Dahlia, so she didn't need to look the latter straight in the eye.

    Laura was close to being scared out of her wits. She stammered, "M-Mrs. Russell… S-She said that she wasn't coming back anymore…"Connor's expression turned steely.Once again, Laura felt the air thicken with tension. This was seriously the first time she'd seen Connor like this."She sounded like she meant it." She lowered her head, suppressing her fear as she said, "I don't know what's gotten into her."Connor clenched his fists. He had no idea what was wrong with Phoebe, either!Every time she had kicked up a fuss about this in the past, she would come crawling back in a day or two. There had never been any exceptions, so why was this time different?Connor didn't actually care about Phoebe. He was just shocked by how she had suddenly slapped him and bitten him in the car earlier.For the first time, he felt the urge to know her thoughts. However, she had gotten out of the car and left him hanging.When Phoebe had yanked the handbrake and cranked the steering wheel, her acti

    Laura's face burned with shame again. "Mrs. Russell…"Phoebe didn't stop again this time. She left the house without a backward glance.Soon, Laura heard an engine roar to life. She ran out to the garden to see Phoebe speed away in a Range Rover. She didn't remember Connor having such a cheap car in his garage. So, whose car was Phoebe driving?If Phoebe hadn't said what she'd said, Laura would have suspected that she was doing this on purpose. But now, she felt differently.Phoebe seemed set on the divorce. Was she really going to leave Connor? But how had she made up her mind to let go when she loved Connor so deeply? Besides, how could Phoebe bear to end things when Connor was so outstanding?Still, Laura's gut told her that Phoebe wasn't joking.That thought suddenly made her feel a strange ache in her chest.

    Laura thought she'd misheard. She faltered in her rummaging and only whirled around when she heard her name a second time. When she saw Phoebe, her face turned ashen. It was like she'd seen a ghost.She yelped in shock and fell back.Phoebe grabbed Laura's wrist and tugged her back. She looked around the wardrobe and found that about a third of the clothes that used to fill the room to the brim had gone missing.She rarely bought clothes for herself. To keep her from embarrassing him at family gatherings, Connor used to have the women's line from the brands he wore send over batches of everyday pieces. That was why the wardrobe had been so full.Phoebe looked away from the clothes and at Laura. "What were you doing?"It had been a long time since Laura had seen Phoebe. She didn't know how to react for a moment. Getting caught red-handed was also too awkward for words. She stammered, "M-Mrs. Russell, it's been so long since you were last back that your room has become dusty. I came

    Philip had wanted to keep Gideon by his side, and he thought the latter would go along with him because of how aggrieved he'd looked when crying. However, Gideon himself had turned down Philip's offer.Every year after that, whenever they met, Gideon only grew frostier and more aloof.Philip knew that Gideon, as a grown-up, didn't like having physical contact with others and wasn't interested in dating because of the experiences he had as a child. That was why he'd never pushed Gideon to do anything.Philip was now old and more open-minded than he had been before. His descendants had their own lives to lead, so he decided not to be too meddlesome.Philip asked, "When will someone catch your eye, then?"Gideon said coolly, "We'll see.""Given your personality, it won't be easy for you to fall for anyone. That's why you need to take my advice. If you come across someone you like, you should hold on to them. Don't let them go. Who knows whether you'll fall for anyone else in the fut

    Phoebe rejected the call once more, yet Connor called her again. It was reminiscent of how she used to contact him but failed to reach him. She found the situation ironic.She had never once imagined that she and Connor would reach this point. Now that she'd seen through everything, she no longer held out hope for him or expected anything from him.Even if she wasn't as rich and powerful as he, and even if she'd held the weaker position in their marriage, from this moment on, her heart would no longer occupy lower ground. She could now look him straight in the eye.This time, Phoebe didn't reject the call. She waited for it to end on its own. Then, she put her phone on silent mode and placed it face down on the passenger seat.Her destination was the villa she and Connor had lived in for three years. There was only one thing in that place that she hadn't taken with her—the parcel Alexandra had sent to her, which contained 1.5 billion dollars.As for the rest—the people, the matter
