They also recognized Felix–a man who had made his fortune in textiles, then rode the market wave to become a self- proclaimed business mogul. The guy had money, but he carried himself like a complete nouveau riche clown. Anyone with real status wouldn’t want to associate with him.

Seeing Declan’s dark expression, lan leaned in and muttered, “Bro, how did Phoebe end up tangled with Felix? That guy’s notorious for preying on women. Anyone he sets his sights on either ends up hurt or completely ruined. His reputation in Roseberg is terrible.”

Even though lan never thought Phoebe was good enough for Declan, he still didn’t want to see her get destroyed by Felix.

Declan’s face remained unreadable, his eyes locked onto Phoebe, and he was lost in his thoughts.

Unaware of the attention from the other table, Phoebe turned back to Felix with an impassive look. “Mr. Moore, what else?”

Felix sneered, “Phoebe, you’re just a PR rep for Miracle Youth. Stop acting all high and mighty. Even if I did something to you right here and now, no one would dare say a damn word.

“So before my patience runs out, be a good girl and come back with me. If you please me tonight, maybe I’ll sign that

contract.”

Phoebe arched her eyebrows and asked, “Is that what Adrian told you?”

Felix’s eyes were full of mockery. “Does it even matter? Dressed like that, isn’t it obvious you came to seduce me?”

She glanced down at her outfit–a white slip dress with a blazer thrown over it. Her long, slightly curled hair framed her face, giving her a refined yet effortless elegance.

‘How exactly does this count as seducing him?‘ she thought to herself.

She looked back at Felix, her voice calm. “Mr. Moore, I have no interest in you. I suggest you show some respect to both of us.” With that, she turned to leave.

But Felix just let out a cold laugh and said, “You think you can just walk away? Not that easy.”

The moment he spoke, two towering men–both well over six feet–stepped forward and blocked her path. Their sheer size alone radiated an oppressive presence.

Phoebe’s lips curled into a smirk, though her eyes turned ice–cold. “So, you’re resorting to force now, Mr. Moore?”

Behind the wooden divider, Ian frowned and muttered, “Declan, if you don’t step in, Phoebe’s about to be dragged off by

Felix.”

In Ian’s eyes, Phoebe was just an ordinary woman. There was no way she could handle the two burly men.

But Declan’s gaze remained locked on her, dark and unreadable. He simply said, “Wait longer.”

“Wait for what?” Ian seemed to be more anxious than Declan.

Declan didn’t answer. His deep eyes, however, stayed fixed on Phoebe.

He knew the founder of Miracle Youth, Anna, had only recently returned, and Phoebe just happened to be wor He didn’t believe in coincidences like this.

there.

Meanwhile, Felix’s patience had run out. His face twisted with anger as he ordered the two burly men, “Take her back to the private room. Let’s see how she ends in my hands.”

Declan said nothing, but the look in his eyes deepened, as if seeing Phoebe in a completely new light.

On the other side of the room, Phoebe slowly approached Felix, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Felix, who had just been so full of himself, was now shaking like a leaf. She only felt like Pheche was a powerful demon

Phoebe’s expression remained indifferent as she stepped closer. Then, without hesitation, she pressed her heel against his chest.

Felix choked out a gasp, his ribs screaming in pain. A second later, a mouthful of blood spilled from his lips.

Pheobe’s voice was eerily calm as she spoke up, “You just said you were going to end me, right?”
