Chapter 272

Penulis: River Fish
Malcolm's company's firewalls were pretty high-level. For anyone else, breaking in would be a nightmare, but for Phoebe, it was no challenge at all. It was pretty terrifying to think about.

Blake asked, "Do you think Malcolm will ever dare mess with us again?"

Instead of mocking him, Flynn turned it around. "If my sister had hit us like that, how would you feel?"

"I'd be scared shitless. It's like a ticking time bomb. Defenses don't mean a thing to her. She's from a whole other dimension, and there's no way to fight back. You'd have to keep your head down and behave, right?"

Flynn nodded. "Exactly. So, Malcolm's probably going to stay quiet from now on."

Blake got a little jealous. "Now you're calling her your sister left and right."

Flynn snorted. "Well, she's not yours."

Blake rolled his eyes. "Uh-huh. You're just riding her coattails these days."

"And what if I am?" Flynn shot back. "If you had a sister like that, you'd be living off her, too."

"Get lost."

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 352

    Alexandra was about to pour everyone some refreshing drinks when Gideon suddenly spoke up. "Simon, go help her.""Fine, fine. I'll do the heavy lifting. That's what I get for being the unlucky one." Simon was ridiculously easy to boss around.Phoebe couldn't help but laugh. She felt like she'd been smiling and laughing nonstop all night.Alexandra led Simon off to grab the drinks.Once the two of them weren't looking, Gideon suddenly took Phoebe's hand. She turned to him, surprised.He said, "Stay here for a bit. I need to talk to Alexandra about something."Phoebe's first response was, "Is this about Connor?"Gideon was probably planning to deal with him and needed more details to report to Philip. Having someone powerful in her corner was the best thing ever—she didn't need to worry about a single thing."Yeah," he answered. His gaze then drifted to her lips.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alexandra heading back, so he let go of Phoebe's hand and stood.Alexandra noti

    Phoebe was busy trying to keep the peace between Simon and Alexandra, who were low-key competing for her attention, when she looked down and noticed the perfect piece of fish on her plate. Gideon had deboned it for her.When did he even do that? Were those flawless hands of his capable of something so delicate?Simon was just as shocked. He looked like he'd discovered a whole new world. "Damn, you're so domestic."Gideon shot him a look.Simon let out a dramatic whistle and whined, "I want one, too! I want it! I—"Gideon's gaze took on a warning edge. "Shut it."Then, he picked another piece of fish, carefully removed every last bone, and placed it on Phoebe's plate as everyone watched.Phoebe had yet to eat the first piece of fish, so he commanded, "Eat it in one bite."She did exactly that, like she was under a spell. She swallowed it after a few chews, chasing it down with a sip of broth. Only after it hit her stomach did she realize how hungry she actually was.And Ronald'

    In just this short time together, all the headaches Connor had caused faded completely from Phoebe's mind. She was fully immersed in the simple happiness of the moment.She stepped in to smooth things over. "Alexandra, just take the food."Truth be told, watching Alexandra and Simon bicker actually made her pretty happy, even if she felt a little bad for Alexandra. It was a tiny twinge of guilt, at least.Simon chimed in, "Yeah, it's just some food. Don't fuss over it."He held the plate out to her and urged, "Come on, I washed my hands before dinner. Don't turn me down."Alexandra rolled her eyes but still took the plate. Naturally, it was only because Phoebe was watching.Phoebe was satisfied. Simon really had helped out that night, so she turned to him and said, "Sometimes you're kind of a handful, but other times you feel like the sun—warm, full of energy, and always so passionate."Even a stagnant life would ripple because of him.Her sudden compliment caught Simon complet

    Gideon narrowed his eyes. How could this be the same thing? The plate of food that was supposed to be his had been snatched away.Alexandra was equally pissed. Did she look happy about this? That plate of food was the one Phoebe had gotten for her!Simon picked up his untouched plate, piled food on it, and handed it to Alexandra. "There. This one's yours."She and Phoebe were both rendered speechless. At the same time, Phoebe felt like she'd just watched a skit. She also realized that Simon was a total drama queen.It was just food. Why did he have to make it so complicated?Alexandra was an expert at socializing, so she naturally knew how to read the room. Simon clearly wasn't thrilled that Phoebe had served her, so he'd gone out of his way to make sure that he could do it instead.Alexandra wasn't arrogant enough to assume Simon was interested in her, but his actions were pretty blatant. Even with the detour, his intentions were obvious.The night they'd unexpectedly slept tog

    Simon muttered, "How stingy."He was just messing around, of course. He wasn't actually mad, and he definitely wasn't about to haul the food back to his place. Still, he eyed the plate for a second, pulled out his phone, and snapped a quick photo. He quietly noted the brand.Phoebe pulled out all the chairs. "Come on, everyone. Let's sit down for the meal."Gideon naturally took the seat right next to her.Normally, Simon liked sitting beside him, but that night he chose the spot directly across from him.The table was a vintage round one. There were five of them, so Alexandra was left with only two options. Both meant sitting next to Simon, and neither sounded appealing.She shot Simon a look. He talked and acted like a total nuisance, but in all seriousness, he was really good-looking. In the candlelight, he had a decadent, player-like vibe that was ridiculously charming. It was unfortunate that he had a mouth on him. If he just kept quiet, his appeal would probably double.Of

    Simon wandered around the first-floor living room, poking into every corner as if he wanted to memorize the layout. Now and then, he would snap a photo, claiming that he was simply gathering home decor inspiration. He'd just moved into his new place, so it still didn't feel like a real home yet.Alexandra pulled out some scented candles she'd been saving for ages. She lit them and set them on the vintage dining table, then grabbed taper candles.She placed them in elegant holders in the center of the table and lit them. The flickering candlelight instantly made everything feel warm and cozy.Her house was full of fresh flowers and plants. She grabbed a pair of scissors and quickly arranged a gorgeous floral centerpiece, popping it into a sleek, modern vase and setting it in one corner of the table.Finally, she laid out five sets of cutlery and plates. Under each white napkin, she tucked a tiny sprig of greenery. The crisp white and green looked stunning together.With just those
