Chapter 879 Theodore's Jealousy
Vanessa was left speechless by Phoebe's retort, her face changing colors and looking extremely unpleasant. It was truly a sight to behold.
"You are slandering me!"
Phoebe chuckled lightly, "Slandering you? Last time, when your company had so many indecent photos leaked, was it me who photoshopped them? They were found in your company's boxes, not mine."
Vanessa's face turned red with shame. In recent years, she hadn't been managing the company much, as her mind was entirely focused on Theodore.
Whenever she did manage the company, it was a mess. Eventually, Madison took over the responsibilities, and Vanessa only cared about spending money.
As long as she held all the shares, she wasn't afraid of Madison doing anything.
Fortunately, Madison was devoted to her. Even though she was a bit reckless, she never thought of taking Vanessa's shares and changing the company's ownership.
This was probably because Madison grew up in the Reynolds family and was pampered by Brandon and his wife, so she didn't care much about money and shares.
Madison often arranged for actors to spend time with directors in exchange for resources, which frequently led to reporters taking compromising photos and using them for blackmail.
Naturally, there were also indecent photos of Madison herself with actors, but she managed to buy them back and destroy them. However, she kept the photos of other actors to maintain control over them.
Otherwise, with Queen Entertainment's decline over the years and the unfair treatment of actors, they wouldn't have dared to terminate their contracts because of these indecent photos.
"Phoebe, don't act like you manage your company without using such methods to control your actors," Vanessa said through gritted teeth.
Phoebe looked at her twisted face and felt truly sad, "Only your company would use such despicable means to threaten others."
Vanessa didn't believe her innocence, "If you didn't do this, would those actors be so loyal to you? Don't be ridiculous."
Phoebe shook her head. Some people always judge others by their own standards. Talking to such people was a waste of time.
She closed her mouth and said no more.
Vanessa, however, wouldn't let it go, "Phoebe, you and Theodore won't last. Even if he doesn't mind you having children with someone else now, he will mind in the future. You should know better than me how possessive he is."
Phoebe frowned.
Vanessa continued, "When you decided to have the triplets, wasn't it because you wanted to completely sever ties with Theodore? Why are you entangled with him again now?"
Phoebe slowly opened her eyes and looked at Vanessa, "Actually, I don't understand you more. I've been gone for three years, and you still haven't managed to win Theodore's heart. What's the point of pestering me to give up now?"
Vanessa twisted her face, "If I can't have him, neither can you."
Phoebe fell silent.
Everyone had their own obsessions in life. People like Vanessa were not uncommon. She closed her eyes again, not wanting to deal with her.
No matter what Vanessa said afterward, Phoebe didn't say another word. After getting off the plane, she quickly left with Lori.
Talking to someone as twisted as Vanessa for even one more word, she feared she might go crazy.
Phoebe quickly walked out of the airport and immediately saw that tall and handsome figure in the crowd. He was very eye-catching, standing out from the rest.
She raised her hand and waved at him, then walked quickly towards him.
They spoke across the barrier, "Why did you come? You didn't tell me. How long have you been waiting? Aren't you tired with so many people around?"
Theodore was always impatient with crowded places, so it surprised her that he came to pick her up without saying anything.
She couldn't help but think of the message she hesitated to send last night. Explaining it now would be inappropriate, so she decided not to mention it.
Theodore reached out and pinched her cheek, "Hurry up and come out. Let's go home."
"Okay." Phoebe walked to the exit, and Theodore was already waiting there. Seeing him, she suddenly felt emotional and reached out to hold his hand.
It was both a gesture of closeness and an attempt to please him.
Theodore looked at her in surprise, then his gaze fell on their joined hands, and he instinctively tightened his grip.
Phoebe looked up at him, her eyes bright with a smile, "You didn't have to come to pick me up. I could have gone back by myself."
Theodore led her out of the crowd towards the exit, saying, "If I didn't come to pick you up, I was afraid you'd get lost and not make it home."
His words reminded Phoebe of yesterday's headline news. She lowered her eyes guiltily, "I ran into Evan by chance. The netizens are just speculating."
"I believe you," Theodore said.
Theodore remembered Evan bragging to him back then. Although he still cared, in the end, he was the one with Phoebe.
Phoebe's heart raced uncontrollably as she looked at him, "Do you really believe me?"
Three years ago, their marriage fell apart because he didn't trust her. Now, his words "I believe you" made her heart warm.
Theodore looked down at her. She was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, probably because of the recent scandal, afraid of being recognized by fans, so she covered herself tightly, leaving only her clear eyes visible.
He lowered his head and gently kissed her through the mask.
Even though there was a mask between them, and he didn't touch her lips, Phoebe's lips felt warm, and her cheeks blushed.
Lori and Wesley, who were following behind, didn't expect the couple to show affection in public. They looked at each other in surprise.
Phoebe playfully scolded, "So many people are watching."
Theodore couldn't help but feel jealous, "I wish someone would recognize you and take a photo for the headlines, so everyone knows you're mine."
Phoebe laughed, "You're too easily jealous."
Theodore tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her closer, saying, "Even if I believe you and Evan are innocent, it doesn't stop me from being jealous. I'm jealous, so think about how to make it up to me."
Phoebe thought she had escaped this ordeal, but he brought it up again without warning. She looked troubled, "How should I make it up to you?"
"Show your sincerity."
Phoebe pondered all the way, thinking about how to make it up to Theodore. He looked like he was waiting for her to comfort him.
She didn't know if Theodore was really angry or just teasing her.
When they returned to Lakeview Estates, Hubert, Boris, and Noomi were already asleep. However, the house was brightly lit, and as Phoebe entered, she saw Harper sitting on the sofa.
Harper had gone to Caneda to handle his properties, and he had been gone for over a month. Occasionally, he would call or message Phoebe to ask about Evelyn.
Phoebe always replied to him and sometimes sent him candid photos of Evelyn. Seeing the photos made Harper want to return quickly.
Originally, he had many properties and couldn't finish dealing with them in a short time. But he couldn't resist his longing, so as soon as he had a break, he flew back and rushed over.
