Vanessa’s face immediately brightened; she pulled Ruby and said, “Tell me quickly; what have you found out? You seem so excited.”

Ruby said, “Do you know who that woman Brandon is keeping is?”

Vanessa shook her head.

Ruby whispered a few words into Vanessa’s ear. Vanessa’s eyes widened, and she looked at Ruby in disbelief, “Really?”

“Yup. This news will drop many jaws. They are seen as a model couple in the wealthy circle, but the husband is having an affair, and the entire Reynolds family is being kept in the dark. Now, I don’t know who to sympathize with.” Vanessa remained silent.

The biggest shock to her was not Brandon’s infidelity, but the fact that the woman with Brandon was his first love.

If they were still in love, why would Brandon keep his first love as a mistress and treat her this way?

“Vanessa, what are you thinking about? Are you hesitating?” Ruby asked.

Vanessa came back to her senses, shaking her head as she spoke, “I just feel a bit sorry for that woman. She knew Brandon before Mrs. Reynolds, yet she’s not the one who ends up with him.”

Hearing this, Ruby knew Vanessa was thinking about herself. She put her hands on her hips indignantly, “I thought about you. You and Theodore were so in love, yet someone else became Theodore’s wife. It’s infuriating.” Vanessa sighed, “What can we do? They are protected by marriage; they are mistresses who intrude into others’ relationships, yet they are seen as the ones who are in the right when it’s brought up.”

Ruby leaned over and hugged her, “Vanessa, don’t worry. I will definitely help you get Theodore back. You don’t need to do anything, just wait to become Theodore’s wife.”

“Ruby, you’re too good to me.” Vanessa shed crocodile tears.

She really couldn’t get involved in this.

Firstly, if the Reynolds family was in chaos and Brandon knew she was behind it, he would not agree to Theodore marrying her. Secondly, it was not easy to divorce in a wealthy marriage. If Mrs. Reynolds knew she was stirring things up, she would not let her off. Thirdly, if Theodore knew about his parents’ marital crisis and her involvement, he would not be kind to her.

So, the best scenario was for her to act like she knew nothing about this from start to finish, and let Ruby handle it.

Even if the truth came out one day, Ruby would not expose her.

“What nonsense are you talking about? We’re best friends, I just want to see you happy.” Ruby patted her on the shoulder, “Leave this to me; I will handle it perfectly.”

They discussed some details about how to trap Phoebe, make her offend Brandon, and lose Mrs. Reynolds’ favor.

Phoebe was completely unaware that Vanessa and the others had dug a hole for her.

One day, Phoebe arranged for a magazine to shoot a cover photo for Vanessa. Madison and Ruby both had other commitments and couldn’t accompany her to the studio. Phoebe originally asked John to accompany her, but worrying that she might cause a scene that John couldn’t handle, she ended up going with her.

In the nanny van, Phoebe hung up the phone, glanced at Vanessa, and sighed, “Youth is great; your wounds heal so quickly. They’re not even visible now.”

Vanessa clenched her fingers, “Miss Ziegler, Theodore will never like a woman like you who only knows how to play dirty tricks behind people’s backs.”
