Forbidden Passion

The air suddenly grew still, and the scene became extremely awkward.

But who is Vernon?

In the nightlife scene, he had seen it all. To be able to get close to a wealthy woman like Phoebe meant he would have endless wealth. He wouldn't hesitate to do anything, even if it meant stripping down in public, to secure his place by her side.

Vernon raised his hand to take off his leather jacket, then slowly unbuttoned his shirt, casting a teasing glance at Phoebe.

Phoebe ignored his seductive look, her gaze lowering to his collarbone. To her

surprise, he was wearing a white tank top underneath his shirt, covering his collarbone completely.

She pursed her lips slightly and saw Vernon swiftly toss aside his shirt. He asked her, "Should I keep going?"

"Yes!" Phoebe said firmly.

Madison was stunned by Phoebe's shamelessness. She glared at her and said, "Phoebe, how long has it been since you last had sex with a man? You seem so desperate."

Phoebe ignored her taunt, staring intently at Vernon. Vernon felt uncomfortable under her gaze and slowly pulled his tank top out from his waistband.

Just as he was about to take off his tank top, the sound of an elevator opening suddenly came from behind, followed by a cold, icy voice, "What are you doing?" The temperature in the office area seemed to drop several degrees with that voice. The three of them looked up in unison to see Theodore, dressed in a black suit, walking towards them with heavy steps. His presence was commanding, almost like a king descending, bringing an invisible sense of authority and pressure.

Theodore squinted at the disheveled Vernon. Was Vernon the father of the triplets? What did Phoebe see in him?

Phoebe didn't expect Theodore to come. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Why are you here? Is your arm better?"

Theodore's eyes were sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot, looking haggard and tired, likely due to pain and lack of sleep.

Theodore looked at Phoebe, "Why wouldn't I come?"

Seeing his unfriendly expression, Phoebe wisely chose to keep quiet and shifted her gaze back to Vernon. Theodore followed her gaze.

He sneered, "What are you doing?"

Before bringing Vernon to Superstar Entertainment, Madison had sent Theodore a message, inviting him to come and watch the show.

Now, hearing his question, she seized the opportunity to tattle, excitedly saying, "Theodore, you're just in time. This is the triplets' biological father. Phoebe was making him strip."

Theodore frowned and looked coldly at Phoebe, "You made him strip?"

Phoebe didn't have time to speak before Madison, eager to stir up trouble, quickly said, "Yes, she said she wanted to verify Vernon's identity. Who knows if she just wanted to take advantage of him."

Theodore's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he glared at Madison, "You seem to have a lot of free time. Why are you so interested in Phoebe's family matters?"

Madison's face darkened, "Phoebe was once your wife. It's only natural for me to care about her. Besides, Hubert, Boris, and Noomi are so unfortunate without a father. Right, Vernon?"

Vernon had been intimidated the moment Theodore walked in. He had seen many people in the club, but when faced with someone truly distinguished, he couldn't help but feel inferior.

Especially with Theodore's natural aura of authority, he didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

He actually wanted to back out, but thinking about how if he successfully deceived Phoebe, he would become her husband and have endless money to spend, he straightened his back again.

He reached out to Theodore, "Hello, Mr. Reynolds, I've heard Miss Reynolds mention you. I'm the triplets' biological father. My name is Vernon."

Theodore's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression grew even colder, "You're the triplets' biological father?"

"Yes, I had a one-night stand with Ms. Ziegler back then. I didn't expect her to have such deep feelings for me that she would quietly give birth to my children. Ms. Ziegler, rest assured, I will take responsibility as their father." Vernon had a look of determination, as if he had already proven himself to be the triplets' biological father. Phoebe frowned. She hadn't expected Theodore to come and disrupt her plan. Although Vernon knew about room 8888, she didn't believe someone with Vernon's job would spend so much money on a presidential suite.

"Mr. Bryant, don't jump to conclusions. You haven't finished stripping. Continue." Phoebe said coldly.

The three people present all looked at Phoebe. Theodore laughed in anger, "Phoebe, are you so desperate to see men's bodies?"

Phoebe ignored the sarcasm in his tone and stared directly at Vernon, "Didn't you say you're the triplets' biological father? Then strip and show me."

Madison, seeing Phoebe insist on making Vernon strip, thought there must be some mark on Vernon's body that Phoebe remembered clearly.

She had no doubt that Vernon was genuine. After all, Vernon was introduced by Sandra, and he could accurately describe the place where he and Phoebe had been together, so he couldn't be an imposter.

She said, "Vernon, why don't you strip and show her? Prove yourself, and you'll have endless wealth."

Vernon didn't know what Phoebe wanted to see, but whatever it was, he didn't have it.

He wanted to back out but was unwilling. If Phoebe was just testing him and he backed out, the huge fortune would slip away.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll strip."

Theodore frowned, looking at the instigating Madison, feeling more annoyed with her than ever.

Phoebe crossed her arms and leisurely watched Vernon, waiting for him to strip. Vernon pulled off his tank top, revealing a muscular body. At least it wasn't a body full of fat, which suited his profession.

Phoebe's gaze fell on his collarbone. There was no butterfly tattoo. He wasn't the man from that night!

She withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "You're not the kids' biological father, Mr. Bryant. Who sent you? Do you know this is called fraud?"

Hearing Phoebe say Vernon wasn't the kids' biological father, Theodore inexplicably felt relieved. He knew Phoebe wouldn't fall for a man who looked so weak.

Vernon's face changed slightly, "Ms. Ziegler, you can't just sleep with me and then deny

it. I am the triplets' biological father. If you don't believe me, we can do a paternity test."

"There's no need. You're not qualified!" Phoebe said coldly.

She wouldn't do a paternity test for every man who claimed to be the kids' biological father.

"We clearly had a one-night stand. If you deny it, I can sue you and fight for the kids' custody." Vernon threatened Phoebe angrily.noveldrama
