There are several bedrooms upstairs, besides his master bedroom, there’s also a larger guest room.
He settled Phoebe Vance here.
He just helped Phoebe to sit on the bed, but due to a stumble, the two of them instantly fell onto the big bed together.
William Walsh accurately landed on top of Phoebe, both of them froze at once, looking at each other.
"Aren’t you getting up?"
Phoebe’s voice was cold, and William finally realized their position and hurriedly got up.
"Sorry, I just wanted to support you; I didn’t expect you to fall."
Phoebe waved her hand, her face covered with sweat, seemingly injuring her foot again just now.
"It’s okay, it’s my own carelessness. After injuring my foot, everything is inconvenient. I might need a crutch. Can you get me one?"
With a crutch, she wouldn’t need him to support her anymore.
William felt reluctant, but since she said it, and coupled with his behavior just now, she must be very wary of him by now.
"Okay, you rest first, I’ll get you a crutch tomorrow."
Phoebe nodded and lay down on the bed.
"When you leave, please close the door, thank you."
William nodded, but as he walked to the door, he couldn’t help but glance back at her.
She was taking off her coat, and her beautiful figure was exposed to his eyes just like that.
His face reddened even more, and he hurriedly closed the door, then stood outside panting.
Phoebe was really too beautiful; he couldn’t look away.
Hearing the door close, a smile curved on Phoebe’s lips, and then she made a call to Hugo Quinn.
Hugo asked casually upon hearing her voice tinged with a smile.
Phoebe nodded. This time the target was too easy for her, she believed that within three days, William would thoroughly fall for her.
"It’s good that it went well. Possibly Anna might come over tomorrow. If she finds you there, there’ll definitely be a huge commotion. Use this opportunity to make William detest Anna."
Phoebe nodded; before coming, she had already known all about William and also knew that his girlfriend was in the hospital.
Ah men, they really are this way. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
After hanging up the phone, she peacefully went to sleep.
But next door, no matter what, William couldn’t fall asleep. Tossing and turning, all he could see was Phoebe’s shadow.
Her face, her lips, her smile, all were deeply etched in his mind.
William originally thought that apart from Anna, he wouldn’t like anyone else, but at this moment, he began to waver.
It wasn’t until the middle of the night that he finally fell into a fitful sleep.
Early the next morning, he brought a crutch and placed it in front of Phoebe.
Phoebe was sitting on the sofa with ointment on her foot. She took the crutch and said "thank you."
William hurried into the kitchen to make breakfast, fearing she might be hungry.
Just as breakfast was nearly ready, the doorbell in the living room rang.
Phoebe’s eyes flickered, and she supported herself with the crutch to open the door.
Anna originally wanted to surprise William; she thought he wouldn’t guess she’d come to the villa. She’d negotiated with the people at the guardhouse for a long time, repeatedly assuring them that she was William’s girlfriend, before they let her in.
The moment she saw Phoebe, she almost screamed out.
Hearing this voice, William, who was cooking in the kitchen, shuddered, knowing something was wrong, Anna actually came.
Hadn’t this woman just lost a child? How could she get out of bed so quickly?
Seeing Phoebe’s pretty face made Anna wish to tear it apart, and when she saw William come out wearing an apron, she found it amusing. So this man was also learning to hide a beauty in a golden house.
"You slut! How dare you seduce my man! I’m going to scratch up your face!!"
A crazy woman has no reason, Anna lunged at Phoebe, who was instantly knocked to the ground, and the crutch fell aside.
Anna delivered a fierce slap, causing Phoebe’s head to tilt and she cried out in surprise.
William hurriedly came over and pulled the mad woman Anna away.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!!"
Anna glared at him viciously, her eyes bloodshot.
"Oh William, you claimed you were studying how to manage the company, but in reality, you’re fooling around with your lover here. I just lost a child for you, and you’re being this shameless. Does this woman know?! I lost a child for you, our child, has your conscience been devoured by a dog?!"
William only felt irritable, his goddess was right there, and he was looking forward to something happening with her, yet Anna came and ruined everything.
He reckoned the image he painstakingly built up in his goddess’s heart would crumble too.
Phoebe held her face, slowly supporting herself up with the sofa.
"Miss, I think you’re mistaken, Mr. Walsh and I aren’t in that kind of relationship."
She wanted to explain, her face swollen, her tone anxious.
But Anna wouldn’t listen to her, screaming out.
"You slut! Shut up! I’ve seen many women like you, pretending to be aloof but you’re dirtier than anyone else deep down! Now, get out of my boyfriend’s villa immediately, or I’ll throw you out!!"
Compared to Phoebe’s gentle and polite demeanor, Anna was like a shrew.
William’s face grew darker, finally gripping her wrist tightly.
He could feel Phoebe’s gaze on him, a gaze that seemed mocking, mocking his choice of woman was similar to a common shrew.
He felt humiliated, and his grip on Anna’s wrist unconsciously tightened.
"Have you had enough of this drama?! There is nothing between Miss Lawson and me! She only stayed here because her foot is injured and her assistant is unavailable. So, Anna, if you want to make a scene, do it outside, don’t disgrace yourself here!"
Anna looked at him incredulously, a man and a woman alone in a house, serving this woman breakfast himself, and he had the nerve to say nothing was going on. Did he think she was an idiot?
"William!! Do you think I’m stupid?! You two conspiring to deceive me?! I know who this woman is, she’s a celebrity, right? Just wait, I’m going to expose her as a homewrecker and ruin her reputation!"
Anna’s face flushed with anger, her finger almost poking Phoebe’s face.
Phoebe finally couldn’t tolerate it anymore, grabbing the crutch beside her.
"Mr. Walsh, I’ve been disturbing you these days. I think I should go back."
Seeing her aggrieved appearance, William’s heart twisted painfully. Clearly, Phoebe hadn’t done anything, yet she was subjected to Anna’s insults and threats!
