Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 

Phoebe remained silent, her expression unchanged. 

Cordelia rolled her eyes at Caleb’s attempt, saying, “Mr. Mendez, you’re surely thick–skinned. It’s obvious that you’re planning to ride on Phoebe’s success after winning the Best Actress award!” 

Ignoring Cordelia’s sarcasm, Caleb kept his gaze fixed on Phoebe. 

“Phoebe, I truly realize my mistake now. Please give me another chance! Without you, life is not worth living. Come back to me, please!” 

Phoebe laughed. 

She had seen Caleb’s true colors when he cheated on her, and every word he uttered now felt ironic and insincere. 

Remembering Sheena’s ruthless approach toward unfaithful partners, Phoebe calmly retrieved a delicate little dagger from the drawer, a souvenir from a previous drama shoot. 

Seeing her play with the dagger, Caleb expressed concern, “Be careful, don’t cut your hand. I would be devastated.” 

Phoebe was disgusted by his fake display of concern, handing the dagger to him. 

She was no longer weak and naive, calmly saying, “Since you claim life is unbearable without me, prove your love by using this dagger to end your life. Only then will I believe you truly love me.” 

Caleb’s face paled, shocked by Phoebe’s unexpected response. 

Phoebe was no longer easy to manipulate! 

Caleb reluctantly took the dagger from her but hesitated to make any move that might cause injury. 

“If I die, we can never be together. Are you really willing to let that happen?” 

Phoebe challenged, “But if you don’t die, how can you prove your love for me or if you’ve truly regretted your actions?” 

“I…” 

Caleb bit the bullet and pressed the dagger against his wrist, but he still dared not 

to move. 

“If you’re not willing to go as far as cutting an artery and shedding enough blood, I won’t believe you. Prove your sincerity.” 

The thought of it was too painful for Caleb. His hands trembled, and the dagger slipped from his grip. 

He grabbed Phoebe’s gown and begged, “Phoebe, please don’t do this! Let’s go back to how we were. No, I’ll treat you even better than before! Just give me another chance!” 

Phoebe kicked him hard with her high heels on. 

“Get lost! I won’t believe a single sweet word you say! From now on, steer clear of me. If you dare to pester me again, I’ll fight you, and you’ll end up with nothing! Even an instant noodle will be a luxury you can’t afford!” 

Caleb was left bewildered, staring at Phoebe with disbelief as she sternly delivered her harsh words. 

Was this the same Phoebe he knew from before? 

“Phoebe, I…” 

Caleb began to say, but Phoebe cut him off sharply, “Get lost!” 

Unwilling to hear more of his excuses, Phoebe warned, “If you keep bothering me, I’ll report you for harassment!” 

Michelle and Cordelia immediately put on fierce expressions, ushering Caleb 

. away. 

With his departure, the atmosphere in the room became significantly more peaceful. 

Phoebe, feeling relieved, took out her phone to capture a photo of the award and sent it to Howard. 

[Phoebe: Thanks for your guidance, Mr. Howard. Are you satisfied?] 

Howard replied almost instantly. 

[Howard: Let’s talk tonight.] 

Phoebe blushed instantly. 

This man was becoming more…
