Better Brother, Better Life Chapter 566
"I'm not going to take to your bait." Connor took a deep breath. Right now, his main goal was to get Phoebe to settle down. He didn't mind throwing her a few bones.He continued, "You started a company, didn't you? I can invest. I'll give you funding, resources, and a team. I'll turn your company into the best in the industry. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."He added, "Cars, property, or even just cash—I'll give all of that to you if it's what you want. As for Flynn's company, I can invest in him, too. Phoebe, I can treat you really well, as long as you give me a chance."Phoebe raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you trying to buy me off with money?""That's what you need, right? Why else would you start a company? You really think that little joke of a company that you and Alexandra are tinkering with is going to make that much? You need my help," he said confidently.Her expression darkened. "No, I don't."His face also fell. "I know that Gideon can also give you all of t

Phoebe met Connor's gaze head-on. "I'll walk away, even if you don't let go."He clenched his jaw and sneered. "If I let go, are you suddenly going to behave?""Let go of me first."He looked at her as if he were weighing his options.Phoebe's gaze didn't waver, nor did she look away. Her open, almost sincere gaze was the most lethal weapon because there wasn't a single flaw in it.Connor would rather she explode at him like she used to, lashing out in anger. Her rage and frustration had once been her weakness—through them, he could always glimpse what she was thinking. That was far easier to face than this calm front she now wore while he unraveled.It felt like a hand was squeezing his heart tightly. The sense of suffocation was painfully clear.Connor hated this version of Phoebe. He liked the Phoebe whose entire world revolved around him.Phoebe didn't move, nor did she argue with him. She just waited quietly. She was tired of every encounter with Connor turning into a melt

Phoebe's tone dripped with mockery.Connor tightened his grip on her hand and said icily, "You have a real talent for saying ugly things.""Right back at you. Don't forget that you used to be even nastier," she shot back, her face completely impassive.Connor was the kind of man who could always get whatever he wanted, yet in this moment, he was overwhelmed by a crushing sense of powerlessness.He somewhat understood why he'd gone so crazy back in Ravenport. It was because the obedient, soft-spoken Phoebe in his memories was truly gone.Had he really lost her for good?He stared hard at Phoebe, who stood before him. He'd never once imagined that their hearts could feel this far apart.Damn it. She was right there, and he was holding her hand. So why did it feel like he could never get close to her again?A wave of panic crashed over him, so intense that he wanted to pull her into his arms and never let go.Connor had never felt this miserable in his life. His voice shook as he

Phoebe saw how calmly Connor spoke and knew he was just locking horns with her. "And if I don't, Connor? What will you do to me?"Connor's breathing grew heavy. He desperately tried to find even a hint of softness in Phoebe's eyes. But no matter how carefully he searched, he found nothing.She was as cold as iron. She looked completely impervious, and it was enough to drive him insane.Connor let out a few ragged breaths and stared fixedly at her. "Phoebe, tell me what you want me to do so you'll come back to me."He was giving in to her and leaving the ball in her court. As long as she was willing to listen to him, he was willing to do anything for her.He would never have imagined that, after finally coming into his own and breaking free from anyone’s control, he would willingly surrender the upper hand to a woman he once believed wasn’t worth the effort.Phoebe's gaze darkened. "Will you even listen if I tell you?""Of course."As long as she behaved, he could give her anyth

"Why didn't you come see how I was doing? Do you remember how anxious you used to get when I was sick? You wanted nothing more than to cling to me 24/7. How can you just ignore me like this now?" Connor asked.Phoebe's expression darkened. "My knee isn't even healed yet. Why haven't you come to me to grovel and beg for forgiveness, then?"Connor had wanted to talk things out nicely with her, but he couldn't stop his tone from hardening. "Gideon has been causing me a lot of trouble. I really couldn't get away. I've been trying all week to find a way to see you, and now I finally have. When has it become so hard just to see you, Phoebe?"Phoebe couldn't stand Connor playing the victim in front of her. When had he learned these tricks? Had he picked them up from Evan?"Well, you've seen me now. Now what?" she asked coolly. "What exactly do you want?""I told you, I want us to get back together," he said. "I know you only got involved with Gideon to get under my skin. As long as you c
Better Brother, Better Life Chapter 561
Phoebe had spent every day with Gideon recently, and the relationship felt completely different from anything she'd experienced before. The more she realized just how good he was to her, the less she wanted to be apart from him. She couldn't bear to be without him.In the three years she was married to Connor, she'd shown him her love through her actions. As long as they weren't completely devoid of humanity, even the coldest, most emotionless person would feel a trace of attachment at some point.Given how unhinged Connor had acted back in Ravenport, he probably really did find it hard to let go of Phoebe now, seeing as she'd treated him so well in the past.Phoebe's mindset shifted. Even if Connor knew that she was with Gideon now, he still wouldn't let her go. So, when he showed up out of the blue, she didn't look surprised at all.This was Aaron's first time meeting Connor in person. He was the powerful investor behind the scenes, someone with even more influence than the compa
