The reason Phoebe and Gideon had managed to get along peacefully until now was entirely due to him actively tolerating her. It had nothing to do with who the secretary was. If it were anyone else in the role, he would've done the same.When two people genuinely couldn't get along, they didn't have to force it. Phoebe wouldn't be Gideon's secretary forever, so it all came down to whether this relationship was worth maintaining.Given Gideon's status and position, tons of people naturally sucked up to him. In worldly terms, Phoebe had every reason to keep things smooth between them, especially since he actually treated her very well.Since she couldn't fix this on her own, she had to ask for help.Jeremy was Gideon's assistant, and Ian was the company's deputy CEO. She didn't feel like it was right to ask either of them. After considering her options, Phoebe finally settled on Simon. He offended Gideon regularly; he was bound to have some tricks up his sleeve.So, she called him.S

Phoebe and Connor locked eyes across the short distance between them.For the first time, it was crystal clear to her that their time together as husband and wife was well and truly over. Just yesterday, she still felt a flicker of emotion when looking at him. But now, she was perfectly calm.She didn't dodge his stare, nor was she affected by Vanessa sizing her up. She simply said to Connor, "I'll pick you up at your office at 2:00 pm tomorrow."Connor didn't answer her. His expression remained neutral, his gaze cold and unreadable as usual.Phoebe didn't add anything else. She opened the car door, got in, and drove past the two of them without looking back.For once, Connor watched her leave and lowered his eyes. Yesterday, he had convinced himself that it all made sense. He concluded that Phoebe was upset about the miscarriage and Vanessa's return, and Gideon had taken advantage of the fact that she was working at Spectrum Group.Phoebe held a grudge and was frustrated, so she

Dahlia had completely lost it. All her reason was gone; she was consumed by pure rage as she attacked.Two seconds later, Dahlia had her face pinned against the side of the Lamborghini. She thrashed wildly, but the hand holding her down didn't budge. Humiliation hit her like a wave; she silently cursed Phoebe to get flattened by a truck."Why were you chasing me?" Phoebe asked.Dahlia's voice caught, but the venom in it was still clear. "Why do you think? I wanted to run you off the road!""You hate me that much?""Yeah, I do. I fucking hate you, Phoebe! How dare you hit me!" Dahlia had never been this humiliated in her life. Even in her current state, she glared at Phoebe with stubborn fury. "This is war now. Every time I see you from now on, I'll make your life hell.""Each time you've run into me lately, you've lost. Haven't you learned your lesson?" Phoebe asked coolly."It's just dumb luck! Do you think that's going to hold forever?" Dahlia spat. "We've known each other for

Connor and Evan had grown up together, so he was long used to Evan's grin. Right now, though, Connor wanted to throw his drink straight in Evan's face."Why aren't you drinking?" Evan asked."There's nothing to celebrate.""Really?" Evan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Haven't you been wanting this divorce forever? Getting it should be exactly what you want.""I know." Connor pressed his lips into a hard line. He knew he was supposed to feel happy. Honestly, his mood wasn't even particularly bad. He felt like he usually did. But would he say that he was excited? Not really."Then drink."In the end, Connor knocked back the toast to his upcoming freedom. He set the glass down hard, not wanting to stay any longer. He left early.Evan watched him go, his gaze darker than before. He was looking forward to tomorrow.Vanessa also watched Connor leave. She was also anticipating tomorrow.…When Connor got home earlier than usual, Laura was surprised. She noticed the ugly look on his face

There was a scuffle on the other end of the line, probably from Flynn shoving Blake away. He snatched the phone back and growled, "Ignore Blake. I'm not embarrassed to say anything. I just called to warn you that if you suddenly decide that you don't want the divorce after all, I'm going to disown you! I mean it, Phoebe. I'm not joking!"With that, he hung up.Phoebe stared at the phone, speechless.It seemed that many people were rooting for this divorce. Alexandra and Flynn weren't the only ones. Jeremy even texted her, wishing her a smooth divorce tomorrow, and Jason and Nadine had chimed in.Phoebe thought that Nadine was an interesting character. Her being nosy made sense since she knew about Phoebe and Connor's relationship, but Jason? She didn't know what his deal was.And they all somehow knew the exact time of her appointment. She figured that it was probably because of Jeremy's big mouth.And naturally, Simon, who loved chaos and drama, had to be involved. He had spamme
