Phoebe had been calm and composed throughout the entire ordeal. And the fact that she'd mentioned Vanessa as her upperclassman reminded Vanessa of Phoebe's level of education. Phoebe had also graduated from Alden College with a degree in computer science. Vanessa wondered if Phoebe had the necessary technical skills.Vanessa asked, "Malcolm, can Flynn fix the problem with the data repository himself?""Of course not! Why else would Blake be begging others for help?" Malcolm didn't understand what Vanessa was worried about. "Rupert Fox is the core tech engineer I poached from Flynn's company."He knew their firewall like the back of his hand and took them down in a single fatal strike—the entire data repository collapsed. You know how hard it can be to fix something like that. How could Flynn possibly be good enough to do that?""What about Phoebe?"Malcolm was even more baffled. "Phoebe? Isn't she just a piece of trash? One that fetches drinks and makes photocopies for others. You

Phoebe found Flynn studying her. He looked like he was seeing her for the first time. She said, "If you have something to say, just come out with it.""You did this on purpose, didn't you?" As she had expected, the first thing out of his mouth wasn't anything nice. He sneered and continued, "You wanted to seem like a badass, and you sure pulled it off!" He lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?""I did, but you didn't believe me. You even wanted to pay Vanessa to help you. Honestly, I didn't think you'd be that dumb.""You—""What? It's the truth. Are you refusing to own up to it?" Phoebe's expression turned stern. "Vanessa said our lives were going downhill and that we'd eventually end up in some ditch somewhere. Judging from the look on your face at the time, you agreed with her, didn't you?"Flynn wanted to retort, but he couldn't find the right words. He had indeed agreed with Vanessa, as Phoebe had said. But now, he regretted it and was ashamed tha

Phoebe arrived at the airport an hour before Philip's plane was due to land. But when it did, she didn't see him at the exit. She called Don, only to be told that they were at a different one.She drove over there, but traffic was bad. When she arrived, she caught sight of Connor opening the car door and ushering Philip in.It turned out that he was behind this!Phoebe immediately got out of the car and made her way through the crowd, running over to them.Connor had already seen her, but he pretended as though he hadn't. He bent down slightly as he shut the car door for Philip."Philip…" Phoebe had just gotten close when Connor grabbed her wrist. She turned back to see him looking at her. Others would think his gaze was tender, but she saw only warning in his eyes.Naturally, Philip also thought it was an affectionate look and was pleased. He recalled what Connor had told him earlier and said, "Phoebe, your third anniversary with Connor is coming up. You guys should have a prope

Phoebe went still. Her mind went blank before a thought took shape. It seemed that the three years she'd spent being pathetic had been for nothing.With that, she slapped Connor in the face. The force of her slap wasn't brutal, but it got him squarely. He was still reeling from that first one when she did it again, landing another accurately on his face.As her third slap hurtled toward him, he grabbed her wrist, stopping her. However, she looked like she'd lost her mind. Her body was tense, and she clenched her jaw tightly.Earlier, she had felt that there was no point in struggling. But now, she did it with all her might, landing slaps and punches on him wherever she could. When the kicking and punching felt like they weren't enough, she even bit him.Connor didn't think that he had done anything to aggravate Phoebe. He couldn't understand what was going on. But for some reason, he could empathize with her.She didn't make a sound, but at the same time, he seemed to hear her how

Philip had wanted to keep Gideon by his side, and he thought the latter would go along with him because of how aggrieved he'd looked when crying. However, Gideon himself had turned down Philip's offer.Every year after that, whenever they met, Gideon only grew frostier and more aloof.Philip knew that Gideon, as a grown-up, didn't like having physical contact with others and wasn't interested in dating because of the experiences he had as a child. That was why he'd never pushed Gideon to do anything.Philip was now old and more open-minded than he had been before. His descendants had their own lives to lead, so he decided not to be too meddlesome.Philip asked, "When will someone catch your eye, then?"Gideon said coolly, "We'll see.""Given your personality, it won't be easy for you to fall for anyone. That's why you need to take my advice. If you come across someone you like, you should hold on to them. Don't let them go. Who knows whether you'll fall for anyone else in the fut
