Better Brother, Better Life Chapter 315
Alexandra didn't know Gideon all that well. The few times they'd crossed paths, she'd barely gotten a single word in. Phoebe was leagues ahead of her in pretty much every way, so Gideon had to respect her.But respect didn't automatically mean romantic interest. It could just be appreciation—or maybe he simply treated her a little better than everyone else. With those arrogant, commanding eyes and his status and personality, many people wanted to get close to him, but almost nobody succeeded.Alexandra had borrowed only a sliver of his influence, yet even that was enough to open countless doors for her in the investment world.So, it was rare to come across someone who could get Gideon, who was at the very top of the food chain, to pay attention to them.But the kind of favoritism and double standards he was showing Phoebe was much more than "a little". He had straight-up asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend!That was insane!Alexandra was about to voice her suspicions that

Gideon was in the middle of a business dinner when Phoebe's call came in. The second he picked up, he was already on his feet and heading out of the private room. Once he was in the hallway, he said, "Of course. The relationship might be fake, but the girlfriend treatment is real. Otherwise, we won't fool my mother."The idea of his "girlfriend" getting bullied shouldn't even exist. It just didn't make sense.Even if they weren't announcing it to the world, Gideon wasn't about to let anyone mess with Phoebe. At the very least, everyone needed to know that she was under his protection.As for what exactly their relationship was and the reason behind his protection… He didn't owe anyone an explanation. He would leave them guessing."Got it." Phoebe glanced at Alexandra.Alexandra was staring at her like she'd lost her mind. The look on her face screamed, "Why are you talking about romance with Gideon, of all people?""Somebody bullied me today," Phoebe said. "I'm hoping that you'll

Jared stared at his phone after the call ended, totally dumbfounded. He furrowed his brows.Since taking over the family's tech subsidiary, he had been meeting regularly with Connor and Vanessa to swap information and resources. He had also thrown himself into his work. The only regret he had was not knowing who the developer behind Lugi-X really was.Just yesterday, Horace had praised him at home. Even his sister, Brooke Shaw, thought he was doing a great job. What kind of trouble could he have possibly gotten into?Jared's mood hit rock bottom. He racked his brain and still couldn't figure it out. Then, reluctantly, he wondered if this was about Alexandra.That was the one possibility he'd dismissed from the start.Horace had indeed pushed for the potential partnership, but Alexandra wasn't even in their league. What kind of pull could she possibly have to get Horace this worked up?Moreover, he had a hunch that the whole "backed by Spectrum Group" thing was just smoke and mirr

Jared stared at the blood on his hand, looking dumbstruck. His head spun a little, and he tried to shake it off.When he looked up, his eyes were ice-cold. "Ms. Cooper, aren't you worried about pissing me off, acting the way you did?"Alexandra opened her mouth to fire back, but Phoebe stood up and grabbed her arm.From what Alexandra remembered, Phoebe always kept her head down whenever anyone connected to Connor was present. She figured that this time would be no different.To her surprise, Phoebe picked up another glass and hurled it straight at Jared. Its contents splashed all over him, soaking his clothes.Alexandra's jaw dropped.Phoebe's eyes burned with pure murderous intent—far sharper and more intense than anything Alexandra had ever shown. Alexandra usually played nice to keep the peace and make money, but Phoebe approached everything with dead seriousness. That was why she had this commanding, almost intimidating presence when she got mad.It had been ages since Alex

Jared was only there because Horace had forced him to show up.Back at the charity gala organized by the Salazar family, Horace had specifically messaged him about introducing him to a fast-growing tech company. Jared ran the family's tech subsidiary, so this was supposed to be a work thing—pure networking.It was only when he was almost out the door that he found out the company was called Timegate Tech. He knew that the CEO had once trashed Vanessa.In Jared's eyes, Vanessa was top-tier tech talent. The Timegate CEO had been arrogant enough to look down on Vanessa outright, and Jared had flat-out said back then that he would never work with them.As such, he didn't even want to be at this lunch.However, Horace had insisted that Jared be there because Gideon backed Timegate Tech. There was also the fact that Timegate Tech's killer asset was their Lugi-X technology. That was the core of their competitive edge, and many companies were dying to get their hands on it.Ultimately, J

After a moment, Phoebe set the puzzle back down on the counter and started her morning routine. Once she finished washing, she stepped out—and then paused. A few seconds later, she turned around, opened the cabinet, and tucked the puzzle inside.Out of sight, out of mind.She was well aware of how charming Gideon could be. He never tried to show off, but everything he did was effortlessly captivating. Throwing in the fake-boyfriend act and the occasional ambiguous things he said made it very easy to overthink.Fortunately, she had been in a real relationship before, so a small flutter of the heart from a look or a few words didn’t mean much to her. In truth, it wouldn't be easy for her to fall for someone, just like it wasn't for him.As Phoebe's mind settled, she reminded herself that this partnership was mutually beneficial. Neither of them owed the other anything. From now on, she could comfortably ride on Gideon's powerful coattails.Of course, even with him backing her, she h
