"I guess you're just not as impressive as I thought you were," Malcom finished over the phone.

Vanessa heard him loud and clear. She felt like a knife had been driven straight through her; her pride was yanked out and trampled on. She stood there, frozen and completely speechless.

Those who could hurt her the worst were the ones who knew her best.

She was so enraged that she almost lost her mind. She couldn't believe Malcolm dared talk to her like that!

"Don't get mad, Vanessa. I called to a

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 540

    Evan had already seen Phoebe and Gideon holding hands and having dinner together, so this was an outcome he'd expected. He hadn't been entirely sure then, but he was now.It was no wonder Connor was in this state… Wait, no. Connor had never actually liked Phoebe. So, how had he ended up looking this wrecked?Evan could totally understand the irreconcilable bad blood between Connor and Gideon. Connor should mostly be furious, but there was something else in his eyes—panic.He was panicking? Did that mean he'd actually fallen for Phoebe?Evan asked, "Is Gideon the one who left you this bruised and battered?"Connor gnashed his teeth. "He's trying to steal Phoebe from me."Evan didn't hold back and jabbed his sore spot. "So, he actually succeeded. Did it just happen? You saw Phoebe and Gideon.""Shut up!" Connor snarled.Evan got his answer from the reaction alone. Connor's temper was as horrid as ever, but Evan was long used to it. He remained calm, his voice steady as he asked,

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 539

    Gideon was still thinking about how Phoebe had thrown up earlier. He was worried that her stomach might still be upset.She couldn't dodge it anymore, so she just wrapped her arms around the one he had draped over her. His arm felt firm and smooth under her fingers; it was surprisingly nice to the touch."How does it feel when I touch you like this?" she asked, genuinely curious.He pressed his face closer to her neck. "I like it. A lot."Feeling encouraged, she grew bolder and slid her hand along his arm. His muscles were solid, tense, and hard when he flexed even a little. They were softer when relaxed, but still packed with strength.Years of consistent training had kept his body fat percentage low, giving him that perfect balance of power and aesthetics. There was nothing extra around his waist; she didn't even need to touch to know that it was tight and lean.Phoebe's hand drifted lower toward Gideon's wrist, planning to settle there so they could fall asleep palm to palm. B

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 538

    Phoebe had always had to be polite to Gideon back when she was his secretary, and even after they became friends, she still was. Flynn had said it perfectly—no matter the relationship, Gideon always held the upper hand.Take investing in Flynn, for example. Gideon was the investor and shareholder, so Flynn had to show him respect because of that position.Phoebe was the same way. At first, she was careful around him. His kindness toward her was one thing, but his status was another. Who said that women didn't have the urge to conquer someone stronger? She definitely did, which was why she came on strong when she initiated the kiss.The thought of this lofty, untouchable man being pinned down by her, her hands holding his head while she kissed him, made her feel incredible, both physically and mentally.But the problem was her strength. She might get the upper hand for a moment, but it didn't last. Gideon quickly flipped them over.He looked difficult to approach on the outside, bu

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 537

    Gideon had gotten used to being alone from a young age. The older he got, the more he hated anyone getting close. Anyone within three feet set off his instincts, making him tense and guarded. So, this was the first time he'd ever felt the warmth of a real, intimate hug.He honestly hadn't expected being with Phoebe to feel this good—good in a way he couldn't even put into words. Just the thought that she was the only person in the world who could give him this feeling made him love her so much.She didn't have to do anything. Just existing, right here with him, was enough. He already loved her so damn much for it.And because of that, he finally realized how truly lonely and empty his life had been before. He'd gotten so used to it that he thought it was normal.Now, everything was different. He let go of that old reflex to push people away and held Phoebe tighter, really savoring how incredible it was to have someone warm and alive pressed against him.The realization hit Gideon

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 536

    Phoebe suddenly got nervous. Her heart started racing.Gideon was an aloof and distant man who always wore black. The color only amplified his icy demeanor, making him seem untouchable and almost divine in his restraint.If she actually watched him strip, she had a feeling that it would be more of a challenge for her to keep watching than for him to do it.It wasn't just about seeing his body—it was the act itself. The slow reveal, the deliberate movements, the visual overload… and if his eyes so much as flicked toward her… No, she couldn't handle it.Phoebe cleared her throat and quickly turned her head away.Gideon noticed her flushed face and the way her fists clenched tight. He knew she was shy, so he didn't push. They'd only just gotten together—there was no rush. This first time would plant the seed. Next time, she would probably be able to look without restraint.He changed into a soft white short-sleeve T-shirt and black pants, then shook his head a little. Water droplets

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 535

    Gideon looked at Phoebe, his eyes flashing with mock irritation and a spark that jokingly told her that she was pushing her luck. He caught her chin and kissed her hard.She tried to lean back, but his mouth followed, full of raw possession. When she finally managed to pull away, his lips were still parted, as if he hadn't gotten nearly enough.She panted and pushed lightly at this suddenly intense version of him that she wasn't used to yet. "Okay, I get it. I really, really get it."The look in his eyes was so deep that it felt like he wanted to devour her whole. She couldn't hold his gaze—there was way too much heat and danger in it. The usual aloof, untouchable man she knew was gone; right now, he looked almost feral, his eyes sharp and predatory.He said, low and rough, "I can make you feel it even more. Want to try?"Phoebe's face burned. "This is already way past the line, Mr. Blackwood. Go change already. Your hair's still dripping wet."Gideon smirked. "We're dating now,
