Phoebe Crossâs heart sank Sum enough, he could find out anything he wanted to âWhy did you do 47 Bran said coldly Phoebe Crots suddenly laughed âYouâre asking me why? Brian, Iâve loved you for so many years. What do you thira?â
1 wouldnât love you even if Valda Theller didnât exist. If I wanted to fat for you, I would have done to from the beginningâ said Brian Phoebe Crossâs mouth wers full of bitterness. She knew that!
à However, knowing was one thing Her being reluctant and unwilling to accept was a different matter!
She shouted, âWhy did you choose Valda Theller? You love Grace because Grace saved your life when you were a child. What about Vida Theller? Why herâ
She accepted losing to Grace because she had never saved Brianâs life However, how could she accept losing to Valda Theller? âBecause sheâs the one who saved me from the messy relationship,â replied Brian âWhat do you mean?â Phoebe Cross was puzzled.
Instead of explaining, he said, âValda Theller is irreplaceable to me â
âIrreplaceable⦠Haha, irreplaceableâ¦â Phoebe Cross glared at the man in front of her. âDo you know youâre irreplaceable to me too?â
âWhoever you love and consider irreplaceable is your business, but if you hurt Valda because of this, I wonât let you off the hook!â His voice was still cold as if all her feelings and misery meant nothing to him.
âIs she that important?â Phoebe Cross asked.
âYes,â he said with absolute certainty.
A tinge of jealousy appeared on her face, but then she sneered sarcastically. âIf sheâs that important, why did you turn away when you saw her being attacked and insulted? By the way, you went to the hospital, didnât you? Because Grace was hospitalized at that time. Haha, Brian, how dare you say that Valda Theller is important when you left her behind?! What a joke!â
Her sarcastic voice was so harsh.
Brianâs expression turned cold. The next moment, he reached out his hand and slapped Phoebe Cross in the face.
Phoebe Crossâs laughter stopped abruptly, and she stumbled against the wall nearby.
âPhoebe Cross, even if youâre a woman and we grew up together, you should know what to say and what not to say!â His face seemed to be tinged with malice.
Phoebe Crossâs cheek was swollen from the slap, and her face burned with pain.
She pulled herself up to her feet. âAre you mad from embarrassment? Brian, Valda Theller is nothing compared to Grace. Youâll always love Grace. Valda Theller is just an unlucky fellow who thinks you love her, which isnât the case!â
âPhoebe Cross, believe it or not, I promise youâll never be able to say a word again if you say one more thing about Valda!â His phoenix eyes glared at her.
Phoebe Cross froze. She knew he would keep his word!
âSince the only person you love is Grace, wouldnât it be the same if you choose me? I have the Song family behind me. Iâm the perfect candidate if you want to marry a woman to carry on the Hart familyâs bloodline! It doesnât matter even if you donât love me. I just want to stay by your side!â Phoebe Cross said, wanting to bet one last time.
