Leon lounged on the sofa, chatting with Sienna and Frank.
Frank asked him about something that happened online. Unable to hold bark, Leon vented about Ploche
He downed a glass of liquor and exclaimed, “Tye never felt this embarrassed before, all thanks to my dear sister
Frank was surprised to see Leon lose so badly to Phoebe and in such a humiliating way.
He looked at Leon with a hint of sympathy and said, “You and Reece have really drawn the short straw.
“I called Reece to come out for drinks. But as soon as he heard you were bringing your sister, he refused” Frank chuckled. “I never knew he could be so timid:
He added that Reece was worried about being spotted meeting Sienna privately, fearing Phoebe would misunderstand
Frank wanted to say that the misunderstanding had probably already happened. Reece shouldn’t worry about it.
Leon tugged at his tic, his eyes filled with sarcasm. “It’s es
even more ridiculous that he pretends to be so devoted to Phoebe nove
“We had suffered at the hands of Phoebe. We are supposed to be in this together, but he walks away and puts all the blame on my shoulders. I don’t want to drink with him”
Mentioning Reece made Leon even a
even angrier. “He’s just like Jamar. Both are useless allies.”
Frank said. “That just shows Phoebe is quite capable.”
Though he wasn’t familiar with Phoebe, he often heard Brenda talk about her as a good friend.
After returning home, he learned about what happened with the two childhood friends and became curious about Phoebe.
If she could take down both Reece and Leon, she was definitely not someone to be underestimated.
What worried Frank was that Brenda and Phoebe might not be a good influence on each other.
Since Brenda returned, she hadn’t reached out to him and had been avoiding the company. As time passed, he couldn’t just sit back anymore and had to fetch her himself
But when he reached out. Brenda refused to meet him. She hung up the phone and blocked him. Frank thought she likely learned that from Phoebe.
He rubbed his forehead. “Will Phoebe be a bad influence on Brenda?”
Leon couldn’t help but smirk. “Yes, she will. But your little firecracker was never a pushover.
ry first day back here, Brenda publicly confronted Reece at the airport. Phoebe might be tough, but she wouldn’t dare to challenge me
“On her very like that
Frank sighed. “Exactly, that’s why I’m worried about the two of them hanging out. I’ll be harder for me to manage.”
He hadn’t expected Brenda to confront her brother over Phoebe.
Leon wore a look of amusement. Tm just waiting to see the show between you and that little firecracker. I wonder if you can win her back, “Heere was thrown aside by my sister, and it looks like he has no plans to pick her up again. In may opinion, you both brought this on yourselves”
no woman would dare to
He added, “Why get caught up in all this romance! Being single like me means you can do whatever you want. Plus, no woman disrespect me
Frank glanced at Sienna, who was snuggled up in Lenn’s arms. He raised an eyebrow. “So you even treat your sister like this…”
Though he didn’t finish h his sentence, the implication was clear.
Leon shot him an annoyed look. “Don’t talk nonsense. Sienna is my sister.
Sienna shot Frank a playful glare. “Exactly, Frank. Don’t overthink it. Leon just spoils ime.”
Frank was at a loss for words. He had never seen anyone spoil a sister like that before. However, as Leon’s friend, he refrained from saying in outright.
Chapter 11
Frank raised her glass, saying, “Conse on, let’s drink?
Leen clinked his glass with Frank’s.
Hearing their conversation, Phoebe and Brenda were tempted to
el to join in.
Brenda snapped a few photos of Leon casually leaning against the back of the sofa, boldling Sienna, and chatting with Frank.
These photos would definitely create a stir if shared.
At that moment, they saw Edith stand up to pour Frank some more wine. Then, as if the accidentally shipped, she suddenly fell into Frank’s lap.
Phoebe couldn’t help but laugh at the scene. “They’re really sisters. They’re all cut from the same cloth. Sienna did the same thing to Reese”
Phoebe had previously leaked some flirty photos of Reece and Sienna, which had slightly awkward angles. But the two had indeed been flirting. and the photos weren’t edited.
Even if Sienna had acted intentionally, Reece didn’t back away, so it wasnil Lake.
If a man truly wanted to avoid a misunderstanding with another woman, he should have kept his distance.
Claiming innocence and insisting it was a misunderstanding was even worse than outright cheating.
Although Edith had initiated the ambiguity, she only had the chance to fall into Frank’s lap because he kept her close.
Brenda looked at the situation with sarcasm. “No wonder Reece and Frank get along so well. They’re both the same type”
She scoffed. “They’re scumbags but don’t have any self–awareness. Disgusting”
Phoebe agreed. “Exactly”
She saw Edith fall onto Frank again. Frank reached out to steady her
Edith seemed to lose her balance once more and ended up directly in his arms. It looked incredibly flirty
Phoebe knew this was deliberately staged by Edith for Brenda to see
Then, Leon teasingly looked at Frank. He joked. “That’s an awkward position. If Brenda sees this, I wonder if she will tear you apart.”
Everyone knew that Brenda had chased Frank all the way abroad.
The others immediately joined in. “Why not bring Brenda out for drinks?“
Frank shot them a look. “Don’t make a fuss. If Brenda sees this, she will definitely tear me apart.”
They weren’t speaking to each other due to the argument about Edith.
Frank glanced at Edith in his lap, frowning. “Are you okay?”
He hinted that Edith should get up immediately.
Edith blushed and replied, “Sorry, I slipped on some water on the floor.” As she spoke, she pretended to get up but took her tinse doing so,
Seeing this. Phoebe nudged Brenda and said, “Brenda, this is the perfect chance to blow Frank’s cover and cut ties completely
Though they ludn’t officially defined their relationship. Frank had been keeping Brenda hanging for quite a while. What he said earlier only reinforced that notion
Now, he had another woman sitting in his lap. Even if Edith had “accidentally” fallen into it, it didn’t change their flirty position.
If he could maintain some distance and not give Edith the chance, this situation would never happen.
What imitated Phoebe even more was how they linked her and Brenda together. She felt the urge to take action.
Brenda’s face darkened, clearly on the same wavelength as Phoebe’s
She nodded. “Alright. Since he
e thinks I’ll lear
him
apart, Til gladly make that happen”
