Chapter 91
The two of them took some eggs and went into the kitchen. As soon as the door closed, the smile on Jennifer’s face turned cold. “Phoebe, if you dare tell the truth, I will not let you off”
Phoebe raised an eyebrow and smiled. While cracking the eggs, she spoke slowly, “Why would I help you hide it? If Declan finds out that the person who stayed outside his hospital room for three days and nights was me, I am sure his impression of you will take a huge hit.”
Jennifer gritted her teeth and said coldly, “If you had not kicked me out back then, I would have stayed outside Deck’s hospital room.”
Phoebe glanced at her sideways. “You left just because I told you to? Looks like your love for Declan is not that deep after all.”
Jennifer glared at her and said each word through clenched teeth. “What will it take for you to keep this secret for me?”
“You should not be asking me that. Instead, you should think carefully about what you can offer me in exchange. Phoebe skillfully mixed the eggs with water and then placed them in the steamer.
Only then did she turn to Jennifer with a smile. “Before this custard pudding is ready, if you can offer me something that satisfies me, I will pretend I know nothing.”
Jennifer was so furious that her face turned ashen. ‘I really shouldn’t have come today. Now I’ve just given her a handle to manipulate me,‘ she thought to herself,
Ten minutes later, Phoebe looked at the steaming pot and said with a smile, “You have five minutes left.”
Jennifer stared at her coldly. “You have always been envious that Mom and Dad throw me a birthday party every year, have you not? This year, I will ask them to throw one for you too. How about that?”
In Jennifer’s mind, Phoebe had always wanted to compete with her for Liam and Olivia’s love. She was certain Phoebe w not refuse this offer.
Unexpectedly, Phoebe merely let out a soft chuckle. “You took ten minutes and came up with that?”
that not what you want most, our parents‘ approval?” Jennifer asked.
When Phoebe first came back, she used to imitate Jennifer all the time, hoping to get praised by Liam and Olivia. However, in the end, it only made Olivia despise her even more.
After that, Phoebe became increasingly silent.
Meanwhile, Jennifer did everything she could to play the role of the gentle and kind little sister. She would occasionally express concern for Phoebe in front of Liam and Olivia, making them favor her even more while growing to dislike Phoebe.
Phoebe shook her head. “You are overthinking it. Whether they approve of me or not no longer matters to me.”
A flash of disbelief appeared in Jennifer’s eyes. She gritted her teeth. “You are lying. There is no way you do not want their approval.”
Phoebe smiled. “Believe it or not, that is up to you. Since you cannot come up with anything that interests me, I guess I will have to expose you in front of Declan.”
Upon seeing the smile on Phoebe’s face, Jennifer’s hands clenched at her sides. She wanted nothing more than to strangle Phoebe right then and there.
“That bitch is just toying with me! She only wants to humiliate me!‘ she wondered.

When Jennifer saw Phoebe pick up the custard pudding and prepare to leave, a chilling glint flashed through her eyes. Suddenly, she reached out and forcefully knocked over the bowl of custard pudding.

She had aimed it directly at Phoebe. If the steaming hot pudding landed on her, it would definitely leave scars. If it splashed onto her face, it could even disfigure her.
Phoebe quickly dodged to the side. The scorching custard pudding fell to the ground, shattering the plate into pieces.
Even though she reacted fast, some of the pudding still splashed onto her arm. The skin turned red instantly, and within moments, several blisters formed.
Jennifer saw that Phoebe had managed to dodge and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes. “Pheebs, I did not mean—”
Before she could finish, Phoebe slapped her across the face.
