My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 963: Chase Her away

Phoebe had waited for five to six hours and now it was getting dark. To her disbelief, Stanford had not appeared.

During that time, Florence sent her another video.

Phoebe could only pretend that Stanford was still dealing with urgent matters and would contact her when he was finished.

However, Phoebe’s patience wore thin as time passed and Stanford didn’t come out that door.

She began to think the middle-aged man was deceiving her. He had told her Stanford would take a break after working for a while.

Stanford was very likely to work from day to night without resting.

Otherwise, Stanford could have rested on the table or paced around the room without going outside.

That was why, no matter how long she waited, she never saw Stanford walk out of the room.

Phoebe couldn’t keep her cool any longer.

She would look like a fool if she kept waiting.

Phoebe’s face darkened and she made her way to the room.

When Phoebe approved, the two bodyguards who surrounded the door warned her coldly, “No loitering is allowed here. Please leave.”

She was being chased away again.

Phoebe couldn’t take it any longer and raised her voice, “I’m Stanford’s girlfriend, Phoebe. I want to go in right now to meet my boyfriend.”

At that, the bodyguards changed their behavior towards Phoebe.

They became more contemptuous.

“You can’t go in.”

The bodyguards had flatly rejected her request without even giving a reason.

Phoebe’s face darkened.

She had been treated this way for the past two days. She knew that they wouldn’t let her in no matter what she said.

Thus, she headed straight inside without saying anything.

The bodyguards immediately stopped her and said, “You can’t go in, don’t force us to get rough…”

Phoebe dodged quickly and kicked open the door before the bodyguards could finish their sentences.

The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

The group of people who were busy with their work in the study room looked up in shock when the door opened.

The middle-aged man who had previously communicated with Phoebe bellowed, “What are you doing here? You can’t do whatever you want. Get her out!”

“Get out of my way!”

The bodyguards surrounded her. Phoebe pushed them away and rushed into the study room.

Her pretty face became sullener after taking a glance around the room.

There were many people busy with work.

But Stanford wasn’t here.

Phoebe became angrier and turned to face the middle-aged man, saying,

“You lied to me?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before turning fierce.

He roared, “So what? Mr. Fraser won’t see you!”

That was a calculated attempt to deceive her.

Phoebe was so enraged that she could kill him.

The middle-aged man cursed and taunted her, “A scourge like you should stay away from Mr. Fraser. If you hurt Mr. Fraser again, not even nine lives of yours could afford to pay the price. You need to get out of the Frasers immediately and stop bringing your bad luck to us. Or else, I’ll make sure you suffer for it. What happened today is just a warning to you.”

The man admitted that he had tricked her. Everyone looked at Phoebe as if she were a joke.

Undoubtedly, everyone here was making a concerted effort to drive Phoebe away.

Phoebe clenched her fists in anger.

She looked around the room, looking at those faces and exclaiming loudly, “Everyone here has fooled me today.”

The man sneered, “So what? You’re just a wee little chick. What can you do to us?”

Phoebe retorted, “Sure, I’m a nobody but Florence is somebody. You've delayed the task she entrusted me to do. Do you think she will blame you or not?”

After hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically, and they all looked at Phoebe in shock and panic.

The middle-aged man darkened asked somberly, “What do you mean? Was there a message from Lady Florence?”

Phoebe sneered as she brandished her phone,

“What do you think? Flory had been waiting for about six hours.”

Commotion rippled across the office.

Everyone was agitated.

“I can’t believe Lady Florence asked her to deliver the message. There must be something important since she contacted us.

“What had we done?”

“Hurry up and pass us the phone, we need to speak to Lady Florence.”

A few men also approached, anxiously wiping sweat off their forehead.

Although Phoebe had been annoyed by their trick earlier, she expected them to take the initiative to contacted Stamford after seeing Florence.

This was better for her because she couldn’t find Stanford anywhere.

The middle-aged man again reprimanded Phoebe severely as she was about to hand over her phone,

“Don’t listen to her nonsense! Lady Florence hasn’t even contacted Master and Young Master, so how would she contact her?”

The middle-aged man stepped forward in anger and hit phone to the ground.

He rebuked her angrily, “She must be trying to scare us and turn us against one other.”

Everyone looked suspiciously at Phoebe.

They didn’t want to miss any instructions from Ms. Fraser. However, since the middle-aged man was Florence’s fifth uncle and he seemed so confident, they wavered.

Phoebe almost laughed at this ridiculous man.

He must have hated her so much that he could ignore Florence’s instructions in order to undermine her.

Phoebe said in displeasure,

“I can video call Flory right now if you don’t believe me!”

Phoebe didn’t want Florence to know that the Frasers was working against her. However, she was at her wits’ end and nothing could be done without calling Florence.

As matters dragged, Florence would have guessed.

She would be even more worried.

Just when Phoebe was about to pick up her phone, the man kicked it under the table.

The man grabbed Phoebe’s wrist and gave her a cold, ruthless stare.

“You scourge, I’m not giving you any chance to play any tricks! Now that the Frasers is in trouble, with antagonists from everywhere, who knows what kind of information you will send information to them?”

This was groundless accusation. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Phoebe was exasperated and wanted to defend herself but the middle-aged did not give her a chance to.

“The Frasers couldn’t afford to experience more misfortunes. You are a curse to the Frasers so you had to be thrown out right away.”

What?

Phoebe was appalled.
