Armand recalled many things in the past when he saw him, “Boyce, do you still remember? He…”
Armand pointed to the person on the screen, “He drove a Maserati to the university. It was stunning. He hasn’t gone bankrupt yet?”
Boyce stared at him without saying anything.
Armand quickly realized that something wasn’t right. He looked at Boyce and then at Cormac, “What do you want to do? You asked me to come to the restaurant and don’t allow me to eat. Why do you want me to look at a coxcomb?”
Boyce was afraid that he couldn’t accept it when he knew the truth. He said tactfully, “Have you ever thought about what Phoebe was doing all these years?”
Armand also had a sharp mind. He got the point quickly, “Something to do with this rich second generation?”
Boyce didn’t say anything, as if he had acquiesced about this.
Armand stood up abruptly, “I go and ask him.”
Boyce grabbed him, “When did you become so impulsive?”
Armand looked at Boyce, “I go and ask him. What’s wrong?”
“Just wait.” Boyce let go of him, “You will have the answer soon.”
Armand realized what was going on now. He looked at Cormac and then at Boyce, “You have investigated Phoebe?”
Boyce felt disgusted when he heard the word ‘Phoebe’.
Boyce squinted at Armand and remained silent in the end.
At this time, something happened in the room and were displayed on the screen. The door, which had previously been closed, was pushed open. Phoebe had lost her innocent appearance, which she was in when she was in front of Armand. She definitely would dress up carefully when meeting with her old flame.
She was dressed in a black sling dress with half of her calf exposed. A fur shawl was made by the fox fur, covered slantingly on her shoulder. She also wore a pair of red high heels. She looked enchanting with her delicate makeup.
Cody took the initiative to ask her out on a date. She thought that Cody remembered all her good. If Cody was willing to divorce to marry her, she would be willing as well.
After all, it was too tiring to get back with Armand.
Armand’s eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen Phoebe like this.
Phoebe always appeared to others as innocent, shining, and young.
“Why would you think of me?” Phoebe twisted her trim waist and walked over gracefully. She sat on Cody’s legs as if it was a natural thing and a long habit.
Cody glanced at the camera in the right corner and held Phoebe’s waist, “I miss you. So, I find you. Why? Don’t you miss me after we’ve been separated for so long?”
Mr. Day, who was Cody’s father, wanted to collaborate with Cormac on a project. Cormac didn’t promise him. This time, Cormac agreed to cooperate with Mr. Day. However, he had a condition.
Only then did Cody appear obediently in the private room.
Phoebe pushed Cody away, “What’s the use of missing you? You have a wife. What about me?”
Cody walked towards her, “I have no feelings for her.”
“Then, can you marry me?” Phoebe looked at him eagerly. She was eager to have a family when she was at her age now.
“Phoebe, you know it. My wife’s family is wonderful…”
“But I had been with you for about ten years. I left everything to be with you at that time. How many babies had I aborted for you over the years? Your wife arranged for people to beat me and that caused me to be unable to get pregnant again for my lifetime.” Phoebe was particularly agitated when she talked about the painful experiences. She grabbed Cody’s collar, “How are you going to compensate for my youth over these years?”
Cody looked at her quietly, “This is the thing that both of us are willing. Didn’t you leave the poor guy and be with me just because of my wealth at that time?”
Phoebe was silent.
She was indeed interested in his wealth at that time. She thought that with her beauty and trickery, she would become the wife of the wealthy family. But marrying into a rich and powerful family was too difficult. Cody walked towards her and held her, “I can still keep in touch with you now. Are you willing to come back? “0000000000000000
Phoebe looked at him, “Then what relationship do you want me to be with you?”
Cody laughed, “What else do you have? Other than you being my mistress? You can’t have children and don’t have tender skin, so what else do you want to be?”
Phoebe was speechless after Cody asked her a series of rhetorical questions.
She was not young and had a broken body, so what else could she do?
She stared at Cody, “Then what do you want from me?”
Cody once again looked at the upper right corner and lifted his chin, “Someone over there should want to see what my relationship with you is.”
Phoebe looked up and saw a camera in the top right corner in a place not easily seen. Then she stared at it with wide, searching, fearful eyes. She couldn’t help but wonder who would sit in front of the other side of the camera.
Her heart pounded violently, “Are you framing me?”
Cody put his hands in his pockets and looked like a jerk, “Who is framing you? How could you say something like that? Didn’t we were in a consensual relationship at the beginning? Who sat on my lap as soon as I came in? Who would rather be my mistress and stay with me? Are you saying I’m framing you? What do you have to offer me to frame you? You should be glad that you still have value to use now. If you really get to the point where you have no use at all, that will be the most pathetic time for you.”
Phoebe didn’t know where to put her hands, and her palms were sweating. What should she do then? What was she supposed to do now? She wanted to run away so badly.
Cody took one look at the wretched Phoebe and didn’t feel any pity for her, even though she had been his mistress for almost ten years.
In his opinion, women were for fun. Since he gave women money, women had to have sex with him.
Suddenly, Phoebe rushed out of the room. And then she pushed open the door of one room after another until she pushed open the door of the second room and saw Armand sitting there. And the big screen on the wall in the room was still showing the image of the room she had just been in.
She was shaking, and her voice had become hoarse, “Armand, listen to me…”
Armand slowly looked over at her. There was no anger or overwhelming emotion in his eyes, and he looked calm. And even he thought it was strange for him to be like this.
In fact, he didn’t love her after all. Therefore, after he learned about her past, he did not get very angry. And what made him angry was that she had cheated him.
The woman he used to think was innocent was not and was full of schemes.
He thought he was ridiculous. And he didn’t even realize she was like that.
“What do you want to explain to me? You want to explain to me that you didn’t leave me for that wealthy heir’s money? Do you want to explain to me that the reason why you can’t have children is not that you are infertile, but because of multiple abortions?”
“No! It’s not like that…” Phoebe rushed in and grabbed his arm, “Armand, listen to me! I really love you…”
“Because you love me, you choose to be another man’s mistress?”
Armand shook her off and stared at her with a gloomy gaze, “Why didn’t I realize you were so scheming before?”
Phoebe held her arms and wept bitterly. She loved Armand in her heart, but her love for Armand was not more important to her than money, so she chose money.
Later, she realized that if she continued to stay with Cody, there was no way out for her. Besides, she had become older and less beautiful, and Cody was tired of her, so she wanted to go back to Armand.
