All Chapters of Better Brother, Better Life: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Given how strained Phoebe and Flynn's relationship was, Flynn would rather die than ask Connor for help.However, Blake wasn't as obstinate as Flynn. He secretly reached out to Russell Group, playing the "CEO's brother-in-law" card. As he expected, he'd gotten to meet Connor in person. He'd even had a whole minute to pitch their large-scale game that was infused with traditional elements.He thought that it would easily win him an investment, but the security guards threw him out.Blake had been baffled. But what was even more unbelievable was that Russell Group recently invested in InfiDem's competitor. It was like a slap in Blake's and Flynn's faces.Blake didn't dare ask Phoebe about her relationship with Connor. Instead, he said tactfully, "Phoebe, Flynn and I are putting ourselves through the wringer because our competitor poached our company's core tech team with a huge offer. The company has taken a massive hit and is now on the verge of collapse."That's why the 100 millio

Phoebe believed that if there was no point in explaining something, then it wasn't necessary to explain at all.She had only let her emotions get the better of her earlier because she thought of her miscarriage. Now that she was calm, she looked at Dahlia indifferently and said, "It is whatever you say it is."Then she turned and walked away, leaving Dahlia with nothing but the sight of her back.Dahlia didn't expect this sort of attitude, and her expression darkened. "What a faker."She had come to the hospital with a friend. Her friend came to her after collecting her medicine and followed her line of sight. "Who was that?""One of my family's dogs." Dahlia looked contemptuous."Oh. Did she bite you?"Dahlia snorted. "Would a dog be allowed to bite its owner? This dog is one that won't go away, even if you kick it. She's such a menace."She had heard from Lance that Phoebe was mad with jealousy because of Vanessa's return to Dalea. On the surface, she had demanded a divorce,

Phoebe realized that this was the difference between caring about something or someone and being indifferent.In the past, she would have been upset over this for a long time. But after getting divorced and giving up on Connor, she no longer expected anything from him.Now that she didn't care about him anymore, his words and actions wouldn't hurt her too badly. Still, it was inevitable that she would feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, she had learned to process these negative emotions in the shortest time possible.Malcolm had gone to great lengths to get to know Connor, who stood at the top of Seavale's social pyramid. There was no way he would let a chance to get closer slip by. He said, "Vanessa's race is about to start. Connor, you should stay here and watch it with me. I picked this box. It has the best view of the racetrack."Connor had never shown any interest in racing in the past few years, and Phoebe had initially wondered why he was at the racetrack in the first place. No

Dahlia looked at Phoebe like she couldn't believe she'd asked such a dumb question. She said, "Of course. Or do you expect me to like you?"Phoebe had nothing to say in response.Dahlia continued, "Why don't you tell me what about you is worthy of my liking? If you can say even one thing, I'll immediately change my attitude and start saying good things about you."Her words were hurtful, but she always conveyed them in a casual, nonchalant tone. Although she wasn't as cold as Connor was, every word she spoke was a trap. It was a different form of cruelty.It was no wonder they were siblings.Phoebe remained silent, finding that she couldn't communicate with Dahlia.Dahlia wasn't happy about failing to get a rise out of Phoebe. Thinking that it wasn't fun that she couldn't get any sort of reaction, she continued, "You must be curious why Vanessa got into racing, right?"Phoebe was about to say that she wasn't, but Dahlia had already answered herself. "Vanessa fell in love with ra

"What if you end up pissing off the big shot if I don't keep you in high spirits? Even selling me off wouldn't cover the damage," Alexandra joked.Phoebe was at a loss for words.Alexandra contacted her classmate after teasing Phoebe. Soon, he arrived.Jeremy York was handsome and stood tall at six feet and one inch. His upstanding figure was ensconced in a well-fitted suit, giving him an air of sophistication.Formal attire often came off as sharp and distant, but Jeremy had a warm and approachable vibe. It was clear that he was the gentle type.Phoebe's first impression of him was that he was an elite."Jeremy, over here!" Alexandra waved.Jeremy approached them, smiling. "Long time no see, deskmate."Then, he turned to look at Phoebe. He said politely, "Hi, Phoebe. I'm Jeremy York."It seemed that Alexandra had introduced her beforehand. She nodded at him in greeting.With Alexandra around, Phoebe didn't need to deal with Jeremy. She quietly stood to one side and listened
