Chapter 562

Author: River Fish
"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 co

    "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

    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

    Gideon asked, "Did you come to me because you worked things out?""Yeah." Phoebe's reply was muffled."Making use of your boyfriend doesn't just mean kissing me or touching me. You can ask me for anything. That's your right."Phoebe's heart ached so much that it almost hurt, yet she was also overwhelmed by sweetness. "Aren't you gonna ask what happened to me?""You'll share it with me when you're ready. Right now, just being here with you is probably what you need most," Gideon said.She immediately hugged him tighter, wanting to stick to him and never let go. "Why are you so good to me?""It's instinctive to me.""If I touch your body when we sleep together later, will you react?""Even if I'm uncomfortable, I still want to hold you. That's instinctive, too."Phoebe shut her eyes and listened to Gideon's heartbeat. He rested his chin on the top of her head and said, "I'm physically attracted to you, but that's nothing compared to how I feel about you. Whatever you want to do

    Gideon pushed himself up on his arms and looked down at Phoebe. "It's better if we sleep separately if we both want a good night's sleep."He stood as he spoke. He pulled her up with him, her face turning bright crimson. His expression remained calm, a sharp contrast to his body's reaction.Just the size and feel of a certain part of him was enough to make Phoebe's heart race. She was sure that she wouldn't be able to handle it. Indecent images flashed through her mind, and she forced herself to stop."I… I don't want to…"Gideon chuckled. "I know."She was already traumatized by sex, and physically, it would be torture for her. There was just no way around it. She asked, "What about you, then?""Don't worry about me."Well, she wouldn't exactly worry about him. She wanted nothing to do with sex right now.Maybe she had misread him before. Gideon was a normal man, after all. Now that they were dating, it was natural for him to get excited during intimacy. He had never been like

    Megan blurted, "That's impossible…"Phoebe said, "I never said that we'd do it within a year. It's just the level we're ultimately aiming for."Her voice dropped a little as she continued, "Megan, I'm ambitious, and you know you need to have ambition, too. Let's work hard together. Help me make this happen, okay?"Megan didn't know if it was Phoebe's steady, determined gaze or the calm confidence in her tone, but it filled her with a surge of faith and motivation. She actually felt that same fiery passion and lofty ambition she'd had right after graduation. She immediately said, "I'll follow your lead, Ms. Stanton."If one was going to do something, one had to dare to dream big and act on it. Since Phoebe had the courage to say something like that, Megan dared to imagine it happening.Atlas Entertainment would definitely be bigger than Starplane Entertainment in the future. She believed that. She had to believe it.Where she once was content to go through the motions, Megan now w

    In the years Phoebe and Flynn hadn't seen him, Gerald's pharmaceutical company had already grown into a massive conglomerate worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He had leaped several rungs up the social ladder and was now a true power player in Jeriton.His pharmaceutical empire was a moneyed, influential giant, not much different from the Russells, who'd spent two generations building their fortune.As Phoebe scrolled through the files, she gritted her teeth and clicked into the page on Felicity's mother. Her name was Lorraine Seele. She had gone to med school with Gerald and was his junior.Lorraine had been married only once, and her spouse was Gerald.The blow hit Phoebe hard. Her thoughts flew to Melinda, and a storm of wild guesses rushed in, tangling her mind into a blur. She clicked out of the page, then clutched her head, her face turning pale as agony filled it.A swirl of emotions churned in her heart—hatred, resentment, and fury. She hated how cold-blooded Gerald ha
