Phoebe didn’t hesitate to nod. “Didn’t you? You’re in love with Jennifer. Maybe you got mad on her behalf and pulled this stunt to get back at me. It makes sense.

Declan’s eyes flashed with anger, and he roared. ‘Is that really the kind of person you think I am

Phoebe stayed silent, but her reaction stung Declan’s heart a lot.

Declan clenched his jaw, frustration simmering beneath his rage. He thought helplessly. She’s never trusted me, not even

once.‘

Just as the tension between them hit rock bottom, a servant came over and said to Pheobe, “Madam, Ms. Roselyn Greene wants you to explain this yourself.”

Phoebe’s expression remained indifferent. “What’s there to explain? You all saw what you saw”

The servant’s face showed some embarrassment, and her tone carried a hint of disapproval. “Madam, because of this incident, Ms. Roselyn Greene has already taken a few heart pills. If you don’t go clear things up, she’s only going to get angrier.”

Before Phoebe could respond, her wrist was suddenly yanked forward. By the time she registered what was happening. Declan had already dragged her a few steps forward.

She frowned, her voice cold. “Declan, what the hell are you doing? Let go of me.”

Jennifer hurried over to block his path, her face filled with concern. “Deck, what are you doing? Pheebs did something wrong, but trying to explain now will only make things worse. Maybe it’s better if she just leaves.”

Phoebe shot Jennifer a frosty glare. Phoebe didn’t believe that this mess had nothing to do with Jennifer. Jennifer wanted her to leave only because she could smear her reputation even further once she was gone.

“Jennifer, drop the act. If I find out you had anything to do with this, I won’t let you off easy,” Pheobe warned.

Jennifer’s eyes flickered briefly, but she quickly put on a wounded expression. “Pheebs, I only tried to help you. Why do you always assume the worst about me?

“I wasn’t the one who made you go to a bar and flirt with a guy. You can be upset that this got exposed, but don’t take it out

on me.”

Right then, Olivia stormed over and stood protectively beside Jennifer, her expression full of disgust. “You went off messing around with such people, and now you have the audacity to blame Jennie? How did I end up with such a disgraceful daughter?”

Jennifer tugged Olivia’s sleeve, pretending to be magnanimous. “Mom, it’s okay. I don’t mind it. I’m just worried about Pheebs’s reputation.”

Olivia snapped, “If her reputation’s ruined, that’s on her. It has nothing to do with you.”

Phoebe watched their performance and rolled her eyes. If her hands weren’t still locked in Declan’s grip, she would’ve applauded their act.

Completely ignoring Jennifer, Declan pulled Phoebe straight onto the stage. The entire hall fell silent, all eyes fixed on them in shock. No one could fathom what they would do.

Carrying a mocking smile, Phoebe watched Declan and sneered, “Wow, you really love Jennifer, huh? First, you had that footage played in front of everyone. Now, you’re dragging me up here for an even bigger humiliation?”

Jennifer was thinking the same thing. She assumed Declan wanted to publicly distance himself from Phoebe and comp‘ ly

ruin her reputation.

But the next second, Declan’s words left her frozen in place.

“Mrs. Greene wants an explanation, right? Fine, my wife can give one—just not sure if you all can handle it,” said Declan while looking at Pheobe.

The moment those words fell, the entire hall erupted with whispers.

Someone asked, “Wait, did I hear that right? Declan and Jennifer were supposed to be a thing, but why is he calling Phoebe his wife?”

“I thought Phoebe was the mistress, but turns out Jennifer’s the homewrecker? She knew Declan was married and still clung to him? She’s really a bitch,” someone snapped.

Another man said in shock, “But isn’t the craziest part the fact that Declan just watched that video of Phoebe feeding fruit to another man and still dropped the marriage bomb like it was nothing?”

The discussions continued, filling the room with whispers and laughs.

Jennifer’s face went ghostly pale, her entire body trembling uncontrollably. She had never expected Declan to publicly admit his marriage to Phoebe.
