Chapter 241

Author: River Fish
Flynn's jaw ached from how tightly he clenched it. After Melinda's suicide, Phoebe got married. As for their biological father… Flynn had already decided that the man didn't exist.

Flynn had ended up all alone before he even realized what had happened. He had become fed up with the world, turned cynical, and resented Phoebe for getting married so easily. To him, it had felt like she didn't care whether he lived or died. Wasn't he her brother?

For a while, Flynn pretended that Phoebe didn't exi

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 570

    The moment Gideon heard that Connor had gone to look for Phoebe, he immediately cut his meeting short and rushed over.The driver drove, and Ian sat in the back seat with Gideon.Even as Gideon's friend, Ian felt suffocated by the atmosphere. He couldn't help trying to calm him. "Gideon, if Connor wants to see Phoebe, he'll just find another way, even if you stop him once. You can't keep getting this worked up every time. You'll only lose your cool."Gideon's expression looked perfectly normal, but beneath that calm, unreadable face was anxiety and panic rooted deep in his heart. His fingers were laced together in front of him, his gaze dark and unfathomable. His presence was cold and imposing.It was only after he got together with Phoebe that he realized just how badly he craved love. He wanted to stick to her at all times and make sure she never left his line of sight.He had read a few psychology books and thought that this might be some kind of compensation for a childhood wi

    Phoebe said, "I'm not promising you anything."She wasn't scum; she wasn't going to give Connor false hope or toy with his feelings on purpose. She just needed to patiently wait for him to accept the reality of the situation. Once he did, she could finally say goodbye without lifting a finger.Connor's expression darkened. "So I'm going to be waiting a long time?"Phoebe strung him along. "Try to be patient."With that, she turned to leave for good this time.Connor watched her walk toward the door and clenched his fists without realizing that he was doing it. All of a sudden, he couldn't stop himself from calling out her name. "Phoebe."She put her hand on the doorknob and turned back.He stood, keeping his eyes locked on her. "Don't make me wait too long."His gaze burned her for a second. Was he actually capable of looking at her with those seemingly affectionate eyes? Did he even know what he was doing?She had to admit that when a scumbag pretended to be devoted, anyone w

    "You're going to pressure me again, are you?" Phoebe asked coolly.Connor was clearly displeased. "Then promise me that you'll keep your distance from Gideon. You're not allowed to take his money!"Phoebe paused. "…Okay.""Are you just brushing me off?" Connor hated her attitude. "Like with Grandpa's birthday. You're playing me again, aren't you?""You can judge for yourself."Connor couldn't think of what else he could do if Phoebe didn't agree, but at least she was being obedient for now. That alone made him feel much better; his emotions finally steadied. It seemed that this trip hadn't been in vain. He hated doing pointless things, and he hated even more putting in effort with no result."Phoebe, I don't want to throw money at you to buy you back. I like feelings to be pure and untainted. I want you to love me simply because you love me, with no worldly reasons attached."Only a love with no flaws could move him. Only then could he truly believe in it. Vanessa liked him, but

    Connor was so stifled by the thick sarcasm rolling off Phoebe that his expression turned ugly. "Does Vanessa really bother you that much?"Phoebe's gaze chilled. Maybe it was out of habit, but the moment Connor mentioned Vanessa, she still tensed up a little. She wasn't a corpse; she was bound to have emotions.And his words made something else clear—he still looked down on her. Even now, while trying to win her back, he hadn't bothered to actually understand her. He was just confidently using his past impressions to decide what kind of person she was.Phoebe said, "Stop trying to manage me."Connor had no idea how many times she'd given him the cold shoulder that day. He honestly believed that she was just jealous, but he also knew that if he kept poking at her, he would only make things worse. He forced himself to swallow his words and said coolly, "I didn't mean to. I don't like Vanessa."Phoebe's mockery deepened. "If this counts as you 'not liking' her, then I don't know what

    "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
