Phoebe checked the time and realized that the wee reception was about to begin. She had to hurry over, luckily the reception was next to the five-star hotel near Todi Stadium.


    Theodore had opened a presidential suite on the top floor with a professional styling team waiting for her. As soon as she arrived, everyone started bustling around.


    Half an hourter, Phoebe came out wearing a simple yet elegant pink dress that perfectly showcased her innocent and captivating charm reminiscent of first love. She took the elevator downstairs, and the wee reception had already started.


    She found Theodore in the crowd and walked towards him, lifting the hem of her dress. Theodore couldn''t take his eyes off her from the moment she entered the banquet hall. "You look beautiful today!" Theodoreplimented sincerely. He looked at her, her makeup was light, and under the lights, her skin was clear, fair, and wless.


    Phoebe gracefully replied, "You look handsome today too." A smile appeared at the corner of Theodore''s mouth, seemingly pleased by herpliment.


    Vanessa and Ruby entered the banquet hall and saw Phoebe and Theodore sharing a smile. It felt like sharp ws scratching at Vanessa''s heart, causing a burning pain. She knew that as long as Theodore and Phoebe didn''t divorce, there was no chance for her and Theodore to reconcile.


    So, she had toe up with a n to make them get divorced quickly.


    Vanessa leaned towards Ruby and whispered a few words in her ear. Ruby''s eyes widened suddenly. "Vanessa, do you really want to do that?"


    "Yes," Vanessa confirmed.


    Ruby looked at her determined and mboyant face, her lips moved but she finally said, "Okay, I''ll prepare."


    Vanessa nodded. "Ruby, make sure to. We can only seed this time, not fail."


    "Yes!" Ruby walked away, holding her skirt.


    After the end of the wee party, the guests moved to the charity g. Shortly after everyone took their seats, the g officially began. This year''s host was a famous presenter, who infused humor and wit into his opening remarks, quickly enlivening the atmosphere.


    Phoebe sat in the third row of the audience, near the aisle. After a few performances on stage, someone suddenly approached her. "Miss Adams, there has been a little incident with Miss Fitzroy. They ask you toe over."


    Phoebe''s heart skipped a beat. What is Vanessa plotting again? It''s almost time for her performance, and she can''t afford to make any mistakes right now. She immediately got up and went backstage.


    As the charity g was hosted by the Reynolds Group, even if Vanessa''s status wasn''t enough, a separate dressing room was prepared for her. Breathless, Phoebe hurried to the door of the dressing room and entered. Only Vanessa was inside. "Vanessa, you''re about to perform on stage. What are you doing?"


    Vanessa sat there, holding a half-smashed wine bottle. The shattered bottom of the bottle gleamed dangerously under the lights. She raised an eyebrow and aimed the broken bottle at Phoebe, her face full of disgust. "Phoebe, I''ve never liked your face. How about I ruin it for you today?"


    Phoebe looked at the gleaming edges. If Vanessa were to scratch her face with that, she would never be able to face anyone again. Instinctively, she took two steps back. "Vanessa, have you gone mad?"


    Vanessa stood up and moved closer step by step. "Your face is just too annoying. It''s only by destroying it that I can find peace of mind." With that, she lunged at Phoebe.
