Chapter 98
fan frowned. “That will not do. I will contact an expert from abroad to take a look at you later?
“There is no need. If I need one, I will find one myself, Declan said,
Seeing the cold look on Declan’s face, lan sighed. “Alright”
Beside him, Marcus patted lan on the shoulder and looked at Declan. “If you ever need our help, just say the word
“Okay,” Declan replied.
“By the way, there is another reason we came today, Marcus said.
Declan raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”

“Scott is here too. He is right outside the villa, but after what happened at the resort last time, he feels too embarrassed to face you, so he does not dare to come in,” Marcus said.
Declan’s face turned ice–cold in an instant. He said coldly, “Tell him to leave. I will not see him until he breaks up with Bianca”
“Declan, we have been friends for so many years. There is no need to let a woman ruin our friendship. Scott is just blinded by love right now. Once he comes to his senses, he will not stay with Bianca,” Marcus explained.
Jan quickly chimed in, “That is right. I can guarantee that the Wright family will never allow him to marry Bianca. Do not let Bianca affect our friendship.”
Declan’s eyes were filled with coldness, and his entire presence radiated an intimidating aura. “There is no need to say anything more. I will not see him.”
Seeing that Declan could not be persuaded, the two had no choice but to leave.
Outside, Scott saw the grave expressions on their faces and knew that Declan still refused to forgive him.
Forcing a smile, he tried to reassure them. “Declan is still angry right now, and he is in a bad mood after the car accident. I understand. I will come back when he is feeling better.”
Ian nodded. “Okay. You should head back first. Marcus and I have a meeting to attend. We will come back another day to try persuading Declan again.”
“Alright,” Scott said.
After Scott left, Ian’s expression darkened completely. He ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “Marcus, you know how Declan is. If he says he will not see Scott, then he will not see him. And I do not think Scott will break up with Bianca anytime soon.”
Marcus was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, “The key to this matter is Phoebe. If Phoebe forgives Scott, Declan’s attitude will definitely change.”
A flash of surprise crossed Ian’s eyes as he frowned. “Are you sure? I think it would be more useful to talk to Jennifer. After all, everyone knows how much Declan likes Jennifer.”
Marcus’s eyes flickered, his voice growing a little heavier. “If Declan truly liked Jennifer that much, then why is it Phoebe taking care of him here and not Jennifer?”
Ian was silent for a while, realizing Marcus had a point. “If Declan really falls for Phoebe, then we must be careful not to offend her in the future.”

A bitter feeling rose in Marcus’s heart. ‘Whether Phoebe and Declan end up together or not, I will never have a chance with her,‘ he wondered.
He closed his eyes briefly, then nodded. “Yes. Let Scott know. He and Bianca should apologize to Phoebe.”
“Alright,” Ian agreed, not noticing anything unusual about Marcus. “Let’s go. If we finish the meeting early, we can go home and get some rest.”
After they left, Declan returned to his bedroom.
Phoebe was reading. When she heard the sound, she put down her book and looked at Declan. “Mr. Harris and Mr. Baker have left?”
“Yes,” Declan said.
Phoebe stood up and said plainly, “I will go tidy up the living room.”
As she walked past Declan, he suddenly grabbed her hand. “Scott came today too.”
Phoebe frowned. ‘What does Scott coming have to do with me? He did not come to see me, she wondered.
“Let go of me first,” Phoebe said.
Declan did not move. His deep eyes locked onto her, and he spoke each word slowly. “He came to apologize for what happened at the resort, but I did not see him.”
