Forbidden Passion
Chapter 153 Tears

Vanessa glanced at Theodore, then at Phoebe, and said with feigned concern, "Theodore, please don't fight with Miss Ziegler over me. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have posted recklessly on Twitter."

"Shut up!" Phoebe's gaze was icy as she looked at her. "Miss Fitzroy, you are an artist at QUEEN Entertainment, and we are obligated to provide you with every resource. But if all you do is cause trouble and bring problems to QUEEN Entertainment, then I'm sorry, but I won't allocate any resources to you in the future."

Vanessa clenched her teeth. She really hadn't expected Phoebe to have the guts to discuss her handling plan in front of Theodore. She looked at Theodore with a pitiful expression.

"Theodore, I really didn't mean to do it. Miss Ziegler said I wasn't popular, and I believed it. I thought that whatever I posted wouldn't get noticed. How was I to know that just posting a picture would cause so much trouble?" Phoebe almost laughed in anger at her pretense of innocence.

Phoebe sarcastically asked, "So this is my fault now?"

Vanessa said with a choked voice, "I really didn't expect to be so popular that my tweet would trend and reach number one. Ah, having too many fans is also a troublesome thing." Phoebe fell speechless.

Vanessa was so hypocritical! She had enough!

Theodore finished his medicine, threw the bag into the trash, and said, "This matter ends here. Vanessa, go to sleep."

"Theodore......" Vanessa didn't want to leave, but Theodore looked at her indifferently. Vanessa bit her lip and finally compromised, "Alright, I'll go to sleep. Don't stay up too late yourself."

After watching Vanessa return to her room, Theodore turned back to Phoebe. "Phoebe, I don't think I need to remind you of the original purpose of why I started QUEEN Entertainment, do I?" Phoebe felt shocked and embarrassed inside, "Yes, I know."

Theodore, as if blind to the hurt in her eyes, continued mercilessly, "Then remember, all of QUEEN Entertainment's resources are to prioritize Vanessa."

Phoebe felt as if an invisible knife had viciously stabbed her heart several times. Her face turned deathly pale. "Theodore, you're protecting her like this, even if she's useless?"

"Yes, that's a promise I made to her, and I intend to keep it," Theodore said, looking straight into her eyes.

Phoebe raised her hand to cover her eyes, holding back tears.

She felt like a fool for desperately calling contacts a few hours earlier to lower the media heat, while he didn't care at all about what would happen to QUEEN Entertainment, only caring if their first love shone brightly. After taking a deep breath and suppressing the turmoil inside her, she said, "Fine, since it's a promise you made to her, then you handle it yourself."

With that, she took her work badge out of her bag and threw it at Theodore. "Theodore, I quit!"

Theodore looked at her in astonishment, probably not expecting her sudden defiance. "Phoebe, do you have a death wish ?"

Phoebe stood up and looked down at him from above, "Yes, I'm courting death. So, kill me then. I'm telling you, I've had enough of you."

Theodore squinted his eyes, "Is that what you've been wanting to say?"

Phoebe, having nothing left to lose, decided to say it all at once, "Yes, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Yes, it's my fault. So, for the past two and a half years, no matter how you bullied or humiliated me, I could endure it. But you shouldn't challenge my bottom line."

"You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, inheriting a huge fortune without effort, so you can easily negate the efforts of others. QUEEN Entertainment is just a tool for you to appease a first love, but for me and the employees of the company, our contributions to QUEEN Entertainment are our life's work."
