Regretful CEO Ex-Wife Don't Leave Me novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Declan was surprised. He had never seen Phoebe be so rude to anyone before. He couldn’t help but wonder if she had found out that Bianca was the one who had plotted against her at George’s birthday banquet.

Scott frowned, his gaze cold as he looked at Phoebe. “What do you mean by that?!

Phoebe met his eyes with an indifferent expression. “What do I mean? Shouldn’t you already know? That dress your girlfriend is wearing was a birthday gift from me to Cora. Care to explain why it’s on her now?”

Bianca’s face turned pale, and she was overwhelmed by shame and anger upon hearing the dress was from Phoebe.

Scott sneered, “I’ve already had the money transferred to Cora. That means this dress belongs to my girlfriend now?

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. “Some people really have no shame. Cora probably never agreed to sell it to you, did she?

Scott’s face darkened, and he fell silent.

Bianca, looking hurt, turned her teary eyes to Phoebe. “Ms. Greene, I didn’t know this dress was a gift from you. I just really liked it, so I begged Scott to buy it for me from Ms. Wood. If you’re upset, blame me.”

Phoebe finally understood why Cora lost to Bianca. With that pitiful act, any man would probably feel sorry for Bianca.

She then remarked, “Oh, so whenever you like something, you just take it, without asking if others are okay with it? I guess being a homewrecker is second nature to you now–you think you can just snatch whatever you want?”

Scott snapped, “Phoebe Greene, watch your words! I’m only tolerating you because of Declan.

Declan, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Scott with an expressionless face. “You don’t need to tolerate anything.”

Bianca’s eyes lit up with a flicker of joy as she thought, ‘As I expected, Declan doesn’t like Phoebe.

Scott was briefly stunned before he looked at Phoebe with a mocking gaze. “Well, if that’s the case, then I—”

But before he could finish, Declan continued angrily, “Because even I look down on you.”

Scott’s face contorted with anger and disbelief as he stared at Declan.

But Declan didn’t spare him a single glance. He stood up and said icily, “Return the dress as soon as possible. Otherwise, Phoebe won’t be the only one making things difficult for your girlfriend–I won’t let her off either.”

Scott hadn’t expected Declan to be so blunt. “Declan, we’ve been friends for years, and you’re humiliating me over a dress?!”

Declan shot him a cold glance. “If I didn’t care about your feelings, I’d have your girlfriend take that dress off right here and now. She is not worthy of the dress my wife gave to her friend.”

Scott’s face went pale, and his eyes were filled with rage. “Fine! If that’s how it is, we’re done!*

“Suit yourself,” Declan declared before grabbing Phoebe’s hand and walking out without another word.

The private room fell silent. Bianca, already trembling in fear, looked cautiously at Scott and whispered, “Scott, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on keeping the dress, you wouldn’t have fought with Mr. Richardson….”

Scott looked at her with a frosty face. “Take it off as soon as we get home. Wash it and return it to Cora.”

Bianca didn’t want to return it, but she didn’t dare provoke him now. So she nodded and replied, “Okay.”

But as she looked down, her eyes flickered with resentment. She would return the dress, but she’d make sure Cora wouldn’t

The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, Phoebe shook off Declan’s hand. “Declan, you don’t have to stand up for me. This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you.”

“You’re my wife. That makes it my problem too,” Declan said firmly.
