All Chapters of Better Brother, Better Life: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

"Aunt Katherine, if you don't want to hear me say these things, then mind your own business. Because I really don't like listening to you, either," Phoebe said over the phone.Katherine was rendered speechless as she fumed on the other end of the line. After a few seconds of silence, she hung up.Phoebe stared at the phone, her eyes as cold as ice. Flynn had been pretty pissed himself, but Phoebe's comeback was so satisfying that it actually calmed him down. He honestly hadn't expected her to clap back that hard.All he could say was that she had changed after the divorce. She had a backbone and was aggressive now!And he loved it.He started, "I was actually a little worried that you'd—"Phoebe suddenly looked up. "So, you're finally admitting you were worried about me."Flynn stiffened. "Get over yourself."She kept staring at him. "Why didn't you let me tell her?""Why the hell should you?" he shot back. "Do you necessarily have to prove how awesome you are just because she

Blake said, "That's pretty much it. Anything else you want to know?"Flynn stared at him, his expression stiff. "The CEO of Spectrum Group is Gideon Blackwood.""It sounds like you already knew that. How? Have you met him?" Blake asked.He was dying of curiosity. Spectrum Group was a massive global empire, and it was way out of their league as a small gaming company. Just getting a glimpse of Gideon in person would be an absolute honor.But Blake wasn't the type to daydream about impossible things.Flynn picked up the stack of research Blake had brought and started flipping through it. The facts were right there in black and white. It consisted of plenty of industry-shaking news reports. The more he read, the more stunned he was. He gripped the papers tighter as he struggled to process it all.When Flynn didn't say anything, Blake shrugged and decided not to push the subject. As such, he headed for the door. Just as he stepped out, he received a call from an unknown number.Flyn

Phoebe was genuinely surprised when Blake called her. She had figured that Flynn wouldn't accept any investments from Gideon without a fight, yet things had gone so smoothly.She had only used Gideon's name to mock Connor so she could get a verbal jab in. She never expected Gideon to actually step in and help.300 million dollars wasn't a small sum—not that it was a big deal for Spectrum Group—and it was a huge favor. The only reason Phoebe could think of for Gideon going this far was that he was just too damn nice.At least Ian had handled the matter. If Gideon had gone himself, she would have felt guilty. He was already swamped. Spending his money was one thing, but wasting his time on top of that was far too much.…On Friday, Phoebe drove to pick Alexandra up.Ian was Spectrum Group's upper management, and the kind of person tons of people would suck up to, so Phoebe had invited Alexandra along.The second Alexandra hopped in the car, she planted a quick kiss on Phoebe's che

Flynn had been too naive!There was no way a guy like Gideon would hand over 300 million dollars without having some kind of ulterior motive toward Phoebe.Flynn gritted his teeth and just glared at Gideon, his eyes full of irritation.Gideon had no public photos, so Blake had no idea what he looked like. Yet the moment Gideon stepped into view, Blake knew it was him.Ian's presence had already left a strong impression on Blake; one could tell at a glance that he wasn't ordinary. But Gideon took it to another level. His looks and demeanor were so striking that even Blake couldn't help thinking about how damn handsome he was.On top of that, the sense of distance Gideon gave off was even stronger than Ian's.Blake could at least hold a conversation with Ian, but his mind went completely blank when he faced Gideon. He froze up instantly. It was the sheer pressure of Gideon's presence.Gideon stepped out of the elevator and was mildly surprised to see Flynn. "You came to welcome me

Anthony's tone was very relaxed the moment he opened his mouth; he had this way of instantly closing the distance between people, and one could just feel the easy, carefree vibe rolling off him.Connor knew that he was obsessed with traveling the world and chasing adventures. If his family hadn't nagged him to come home, he would probably still be somewhere deep in a rainforest, hanging out with an indigenous tribe.Connor stood and clapped Anthony on the shoulder. "Long time no see."Anthony pulled out the chair next to him and plopped down beside him. "I'd finished most of my schooling and decided it was time to come back and check in.""Got any plans?"Anthony laughed. "You know me—I'm not the type to settle. I'm not touching the family business. Now that I'm back, I'm probably staying put for a while. I don't really have a plan. I'll just mess around on my own for a few years and be a regular finance employee."Most people in his position would go home and inherit the empire,
