Forbidden Passion

Phoebe had just arrived at the company when she received a call from Cindy. Cindy's indignant voice came through the phone, "Phoebe, do you know who invested in Vanessa's company?"

"Bishop?" Phoebe asked tentatively.

"Correct," Cindy's voice sounded emotional. "After Bishop fled abroad, he used the money he got to do business, but he lost everything. Later, he met the daughter of the Johnson family, married her, and became the son-in-law of the Johnson family. The Johnson family handed over some of their businesses to him."

Phoebe sneered, "How do these two always get so lucky?"

"Phoebe, Bishop has climbed up to the Johnson family and now has become Vanessa's protector. If you want to move against them, you have to be prepared to go against the Johnson family," Cindy reminded her.

"I know, but if the Johnson family can be Bishop's protector, Bishop can also be the Johnson family's weakness. As long as this relationship is used properly, he and the Johnson family will both be finished," Phoebe said with a sinister smile.

The kidnapping and the whipping from back then were not something she could easily let go of.

Cindy was still very worried, "Phoebe, the Johnson family has deep roots in Kedora. I think you should avoid a direct confrontation with them."

Phoebe smiled, the sinister tone in her voice mostly gone, "Don't worry, I'll hang up now."

Cindy wanted to say more, but the call had already ended.

She stood outside the makeup room for a while. Ulysses came over to call her to touch up Patrick's makeup. She walked in absentmindedly and picked up a lip brush, brushing it on Patrick's eyebrows.

Patrick reacted quickly and moved aside, "Cindy, do you know what you're holding?" Cindy was still thinking about Phoebe, "I'm holding an eyebrow brush, what's wrong?" Patrick raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you're holding an eyebrow brush?"

Cindy was about to argue when she caught a glimpse of the lip brush in her hand out of the corner of her eye. Her cheeks immediately turned red. She cleared her throat, quickly switched to an eyebrow brush, dipped it in eyebrow powder, and leaned in to touch up Patrick's makeup.

"I was just thinking about trying a new makeup method," Cindy made an excuse for herself.

Patrick's expression clearly showed he wasn't convinced. He lowered his eyelids, "You zoned out because of something Phoebe said?"

Cindy was indeed worried about Phoebe, "I'm worried that if she retaliates against Bishop, the Johnson family will retaliate against her. Although she now has Superstar Entertainment backing her, the Johnson family could easily take her down."

"Don't worry about it. Theodore won't let those people touch her," Patrick said.

Cindy paused in her actions, looked down at him, and said, "You might not know, but Theodore and Phoebe have had a falling out, a complete falling out this time." "How did they fall out?"

Cindy pursed her lips, knowing he would find out sooner or later, so she didn't hide it from him, "Last time you came to my house asking if I secretly had your child, the child I was holding that day wasn't my neighbor's kid; it was one of Phoebe's triplets."

Patrick was a bit confused, "What do you mean?"

"In simple terms, after Phoebe divorced Theodore, she had triplets with someone else. Now that the truth is out, Theodore probably despises Phoebe and won't have anything to do with her anymore."

A while ago, Bishop was beaten by Theodore and lay in the hospital for more than halfnoveldrama

a month. After that, there was no news of him, and they thought he had been scared

off.

Unexpectedly, he was just biding his time for revenge.

Queen Entertainment was already on the verge of bankruptcy, and now Bishop's intervention had brought it back to life, clearly to compete with Phoebe.

At this point, Phoebe had fallen out with both Theodore and Edward, and could no longer rely on either of the two powerful families. Who knew what Bishop and Vanessa would do to Phoebe?

Patrick squinted his eyes and said, "She really is really something."

"What do you mean by that? They were already divorced, and Phoebe got pregnant by accident."

Patrick sneered, "Women are the most heartless."

Patrick remembered that after Theodore and Phoebe divorced, Theodore couldn't get over it for months, but Phoebe had already found someone else and had children.

Thinking about it this way, he really felt a bit sorry for Theodore.

Cindy was hurt by his words. She glared at him, "What do you mean women are the most heartless? Why don't you reflect on how you made us sad and disappointed?"

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Ulysses quickly ran over to mediate, "Cindy, Patrick doesn't know how to talk. He definitely didn't mean it that way." Patrick snorted.

Cindy was infuriated by his disdainful attitude. She threw the eyebrow brush down and said indignantly, "Do your own makeup."

With that, she picked up her phone and sat on the sofa, sulking.

Ulysses looked at Patrick, then at Cindy. He shrugged and said to Patrick, "Patrick, you need to apologize to her yourself."

Cindy's worries were not unfounded. That afternoon, the government came to the door, taking Phoebe away on the grounds that her funds were not clean.

Phoebe only had time to instruct Lori to stabilize the company's operations and contact a lawyer.

Phoebe was locked in an interrogation room. No one questioned her, and her phone was taken away. The interrogation room had nothing but four walls, a buzzing air conditioner, a table, and a chair.

She sat in the chair, deep in thought.

They probably didn't have any evidence. Now that she was detained, Queen Entertainment would definitely make a move.

Phoebe guessed right. Vanessa did intend to target her. The news of her being taken away had already spread on Facebook.

However, Phoebe's name had long been restricted on Facebook, and it hadn't trended even after two hours. Vanessa realized something was wrong.

She called Bishop, "What's going on? Our topic seems to be restricted. We can't get

the news of Phoebe being taken away by the economic crimes unit to trend on Facebook."

Superstar Entertainment was not publicly traded, so trending on Facebook would only affect its reputation and not cause financial harm to the company.

But they intended to erode Superstar Entertainment's reputation bit by bit, just like Superstar Entertainment had ruined Queen Entertainment before.

Bishop's voice was cold, "Vanessa, I only agreed to invest in your company. I didn't say I would help you deal with Phoebe. Don't push your luck."

"Mr. Reynolds, don't forget, we're in this together," Vanessa said. "I found out that the head of operations at Facebook is Phoebe's classmate. I can't deal with him, but your father-in-law can."

Bishop didn't expect Vanessa to dare to order him around. He said coldly, "Do you even know who Stanley is? Do you think he could rise to the position at such a young age without being someone significant?"

"If you want to go up against him, you'd better think about your own capabilities first." Bishop hung up the phone with a snap, very angry. If it weren't for the secrets Vanessa held over him, he wouldn't have helped her at all.
