Forbidden Passion

Phoebe turned to look at Theodore, expecting him to see through such an obvious sales trap. To her surprise, he simply lifted his leg and followed the staff.

She was stunned for a second, hurried to catch up with him, and whispered, "This is their marketing trick, don't fall for it."

Theodore glanced at her, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

The staff led them to a very simple shed, took out a few already laminated photos, and handed them to them.

"You two can take a look, these photos are really beautiful, take them back as a souvenir." The staff tried hard to sell.

Phoebe leaned in for a look and had to admit that the candid shots indeed had a great atmosphere.

She was very tempted, "How much for each photo?"

The staff carefully held up five fingers, Phoebe raised an eyebrow, "50 dollars? The cost probably isn't even five dollars, isn't this a rip-off?"

The staff squeezed out an awkward but polite smile and said, "It's 500 dollars, miss. You're lucky to have been chosen to sit in this exclusive cabin. You're a special couple; how could fifty dollars be enough for such a unique experience?"

Phoebe wanted to pull Theodore away but saw Theodore take out his phone and pay 5000 dollars.

They walked quite a distance, still feeling the staff's gaze of "fools with money" seeing them off. Phoebe said, "Such poorly made photos actually cost 5000 dollars?"

Theodore said lightly, "They are well taken."

Phoebe paused, looking down at the photo of Theodore holding her chin and kissing her, with fireworks blooming outside the cabin, Theodore looking at her with eyes seemingly filled with shooting stars.

She gritted her teeth, "Even if they are well taken, 5000 dollars is not worth it." "She said we are a destined couple." Theodore's tone was still very calm.

Phoebe rolled her eyes. Seeing that he had been smiling since getting off the Ferris wheel, she didn't want to dampen his spirits and put the photos in her bag.

"When we get back, I'll frame it and put it by your bedside, so you can admire it every day."

Theodore glanced at her lightly, his lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing.

Phoebe accompanied Theodore to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and after eating, they went home. When they entered the villa area, they happened to see Donovan's car driving up.

The two cars stopped in front of the Ziegler Villa, Phoebe got out of the car first, and quickly walked to the black Bentley, seeing Ruby getting out of the car.

Half of her face was swollen, obviously having been hit.

She said, "Ruby, what happened? Who hit you? Tell me, I'll help you hit back."

Ruby turned her face slightly, glancing at Donovan getting out of the car, she said, "Something happened, I'll tell you later."

After speaking, she looked at Donovan, and said with low spirits, "Thank you for bringing me back, I'll be there on time tomorrow."

Donovan nodded expressionlessly, watching Ruby turn and walk inside, he glanced at Theodore standing by the roadside.

Theodore was not surprised to see him standing there alive. After all, even Harper, who had been dead for over twenty years, could come back to life, let alone Donovan, whose body was never recovered.

Donovan walked up to him, being half a head shorter than Theodore, he was already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, "You don't seem surprised to see me?" "I guessed."

With the Adams Group and the Vanderbilt Group being targeted one after another, he couldn't help but be alert, so he sent Lawton to investigate.

Lawton found that the one targeting them was an overseas company, at first he guessed it was Harper, but there was no reason.

Later, he found out that Nova had exiled Donovan to Starfall City out of jealousy for his abilities, and then he connected it to Donovan.

Donovan sneered, "You react quickly."

Fortunately, he was not an enemy of Theodore; otherwise, with Theodore's scheming, who knew who would win?

Theodore said, "When the Vanderbilt family had an incident, I didn't connect it to you, but when the Adams family had an incident right after, I guessed it. However, I didn't guess your reason for targeting the Vanderbilt family."

Phoebe was shocked, "Donovan, was it you?"

In the afternoon, she was still discussing this matter with Mary, but she didn't expect to learn such a big secret in the evening. She never thought Donovan would go against the Vanderbilt family.

Donovan put his hands in his pockets, expressionless, "One person does the deed, one person takes the responsibility. There's no need to bring it up in front of Phoebe. Are you afraid of taking responsibility for me?"

Theodore's expression was calm, "Not at all. Even if you didn't target them, I would have. I'm just curious about your reason, it can't be a whim, right?"

"Donovan," Phoebe frowned at Donovan, "Delilah has been good to us. How could you do this?"

Donovan looked at Phoebe with a cruel smile. "You probably don't know, the masked man you met in Starfall City casino was Edward."

"What?" Phoebe looked at him in shock, almost unable to stand.

Theodore reached out to support her, looking at Donovan with displeasure, seemingly blaming him for telling Phoebe so bluntly, without giving her any psychological preparation.

Donovan ignored his warning look and said, "Phoebe, don't be fooled by Edward; he is a hypocritical, deceitful bad guy."

Phoebe never expected that the masked man was Edward, no wonder she felt he looked familiar when she saw him.noveldrama

"Why would he do this?"

Donovan sneered, "That's a good question; you can ask him."

Phoebe felt a lump in her throat, she stared at Donovan's eyes, "Is it because of me? Donovan, but we grew up with him. How could he..."

"Why not, to get you, what means wouldn't he use? Only you trust him so deeply." Donovan mocked.

Phoebe remembered leaving Starfall City and running into Edward at the airport. At the time, she thought it was a coincidence, but now she realized it had all been deliberate.

The realization shook her to the core, leaving her trembling.

Theodore reached out to steady her, his brow furrowing. He looked at Donovan, "It's late, I'll take her back to rest."

Donovan called out behind him, "Theodore, you moved to the Ziegler Villa, have you really thought it through?"

Theodore paused slightly, not answering Donovan's question, he said coldly, "You better take care of yourself, the Vanderbilt family and the Adams family are old money, they are not as fragile as you think."

After speaking, he helped Phoebe into the house.

Donovan stood outside, watching their figures gradually disappear into the courtyard,

the lights in the living room came on, warm and cozy.

After wandering for three years, he really missed home.

But now he couldn't go back, warmth would make him weak.
