Chapter 271
Phoebe gave Caln a flat look, “You’re better at twisting the story than directing one. What do you mean. I won’t let Sienna off!“
She let out a dry laugh. And I stole from bert That’s hilarious. But the best part?
part? You making it sound like I snatched this variety show spot right
out of her hands.”
Cain clenched his jaw, but he forced himself to keep his cool. “Isn’t that exactly what h
happened!
“Look, I’m not asking you to be nice to Sienna, but can you at least stop making things difficult for her! We’re all on the same show. Can’t you just
Phoebe’s lips curled into a smirk, her voice laced with mockery. “No. See, I thought that since we cut ties, we didn’t have to fake anything anymore. But you keep pushing, so let’s lay it all out”
She ulted her head, eyes narrowing “Did I really take from her? Or was it her getting you to take from me?
“Cain, remind me, are you my brother, or are you herst Why do I have to play nice when there’s nothing left between us?”
Before Cain could fire back, Phoebe casually reached into her bag. “Lucky me, I haven’t turned in my phone yet”
The second she pulled it out, Sienna’s face turned stiff. Cain and Jamar exchanged nervous glances, already sensing this was about to go sideways.
And before they could stop her, Phoche tapped her screen, playing a recording i
g from the day she officially cut ties with the Jenkins family.
The entire set went quiet. Even the live chat, which had been a chaotic mess of arguing fan, suddenly stilled
A deep male voice crackled through the speaker. “I called you before. Why didn’t you answer?”
Phoebe’s own voice
sown voice followed, cool and disinterested. “Because I didn’t want to
you stop being difficult?”
The man sighed. “Can y
Phoebe’s recorded voice let out a sentf, “Can you stop using the same worn–out script! You might not be tired of this game, but I am.”
Then, the final nail in the coffin. “What’s the point of all this? Sienna wants that variety show spot. Would it kill you to step aside for her? Do you really have to make things so hard for the family!”
Phoebe’s voice came through, dear and firm “I worked hard for this opportunity. I’m not just going to hand it over. If that bothers you, well, that’s your issue, not mine.”
The recording cut off, leaving behind a heavy silence.
It took a moment for everyone to process what had just happened. Then, one by one, the realization hit, they had just listened to a recording
Sebastian blinked, then let out a slow grin. He hadn’t expected Phoebe to drop a bombshell like this so early in the broadcast
She was a damn goldmine.
His gaze licked to the skyrocketing number of viewers in the livestream, and once again, he was sure inciûng Phoebe had been the best decision he’d made in a long time. Thar favor? More than worth it.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi and marketing accounts were already losing their minds.
This wasn’t just drama, it was the kinal of scandal that could break the internet. The kind of thing that would be trending for days
At the same time, across to, Leon and Joshua were watching the live broadcast from base. Leon’s face darkened instantly.
Josina at back, eyes wide. Hold on. She recorded that day?”
Leon exhaled, rubbing his temple. “Yeah She did
He had assumed she was blufting, just trying to scare them
Or maybe, deep down, she
e hadn’t wanted to completely cut them off, which was why she never played the recording before. But now, she wasn’t holding back.
Abater chuckle escaped h
I him. “I actually thought she hadn’t let go because she still saw us as family. Turns out, she’s waiting for the right moment.”
Back on set, the recording picked up again after a brief pause.

Chapter 271
This time, an older woman’s irritated voice cut through the air. “What are you trying to pull this time! Ever since you came back, there’s been nothing but chaos in this house.”
Then came Phoebe’s voice, stealy as
y as ever. “Did I ask to come back? If I remember correctly, you were the ones who dragged me back,”
There was a brief silence before she continued. “And what exactly did I do? Sienna wanted my spot on the show, I refused to give it up, and now
the villain?
“If we’re going to talk about who’s being unreasonable, maybe you should take a look at her instead.”
The older wo
woman scoffed. “Sienna just wanted that variety show slot. You’re the daughter of the Jenkins family now, but Sienna lost that title. Shouldn’t you be making it up to her!”
I’m
Then came the real gut punch. “Besides, didn’t Leon promise to find you an even better opportunity in exchange Why are you making such a fuss over thist
A new voice entered the mix–Joshua’s “You junt
at can’t stand
Sienna, can you? That’s why you’re doing all this, to spite her.”
Cain’s voice came through, full of frustration. “Phoebe, can’t you just behave for once! Be a good sister? Why do you always have to cause trouble?”
Phoebe’s response came swiftly. “Wow, that’s rich. So when someone tries to take what’s mine, I’m the problem for not handing i Unbelievable. You guys really have no shame
Her tone hardened. “Let’s get one thing straight. From the very beginning. I never took anything from Sienna. Not once. She was the one who took my place, living comfortably as the Jenkins family’s daughter all these years while I was out there on my own.
“And another thing, you were the ones who lost me, I owe her nothing. I owe you nothing. So, tell me again, why exactly should I be the one making things up to her!”
Shed, then let out a soft scoff. “If she wants to keep being the beloved daughter of the Jenkins family, she’s welcome to it. I have no interest,”
A tense silence stretched before the older woman spoke, her voice sharp. “What do you mean by that?”
Phoebe didn’t hold back. “I mean exactly what I said. I’m cutting ues with all of you. From now on, I’m no longer part of the Jenkins family.
She let out a short, bitter laugh “Congratulations. You can stop worrying now. Your precious adopted daughter can keep everything, your love, your
the family status. I won’t fight for any of it. In fact, I’m doing you all a favor by walking away.”
ΠΑΠΙΕΣ
Her words hit like a slap, leaving no room for misinterpretation. But the recording didn’t stop there.
Sienna came next, followed by Edith, then one after another, members of the Jenkins family took turns attacking Phoebe, each one more vicious
than the last
And then came the threats. They tried to manipulate her with resources, making it clear that if she didn’t fall in line, they would make things di cui for her.
But by now, the audience had heard enough. They weren’t fooled. If anything, the longer they listened, the clearer everything became.
The truth behind Phoebe’s disappearance all those years ago, it wasn’t just some accident. It was Jamar’s doing.
The final words in the recouting rang out, cutting through the heavy silence.
‘Starting today, I’m done. Du whatever you want. You never even publicly acknowledged me as your daughter, so there’s no need for me to announcr ilsis either. We’ll go back to how it was before, strangers”
And just like that, die recording ended. For a long moment, there was nothing but silence.
Whether it was the people bu set or the thousands watching the
le live a
estream, they all felt the same thing an overwhelming sense of pity and
ay the Jenkins family truly treated Phoche
The recording had been lung, and dit had made one thing painfully clear; the way
Now, everyone could finally see what Phoebe had gone through after returning to the Jenkins family……..
They also had a much clearer picture of Siena’s place in the family:
Before this, people always assumed Phoebe was the unreasonable one.
They though she had taken things too far with her brothers, that cutting ties with the Jenkins family was just some dramatic move to stir attention
Some even argued that she was bring childish, after all, family was family. No need to make things so awkward or go to such extremes.
But after listening to that recording, those same people had nothing to say.

Phoebe’s fans, who had once been so happy when she was recognized as the Jenkins family’s daughter, were now heartbroken. Some of them had tears in their eyes, unable to believe just how much she had endured.
