Chapter 261
It had to be said that Colin was really handsome. He was many times more handsome than Tom, and
Tom was no match for him in terms of appearance. In addition, Colin was tall. When he put on a white

suit, he became a prince charming, attracting countless women.
If it weren''t for all the experience between Phoebe and Tom and the deep love between them, she
would inevitably be attracted to him.
When Phoebe looked at Colin now, she was very calm. She just greeted him faintly, "Hello, Colin."
When Colin saw that Phoebe''s reaction to him was so cold, his eyes shed with some dissatisfaction.
He was very famous in this circle, and many married women wanted to curry favor and hook up with
him. It was the first time he had met someone like Phoebe who ignored him. He was an arrogant
person, so he regarded it as an offense.
However, the colder Phoebe''s attitude towards him, the stronger his desire grew to win Phoebe''s heart.
The smile on his face became more yful.
All the other men showed regret and unwillingness when they saw Colin. In their opinion, Colin would
definitely win Phoebe''s heart and they had no opportunity.
It was torture for a man to meet such a beauty as Phoebe but be unable to win her heart.
They had no choice. After all, they were not as handsome and powerful as Colin. They had to wait for
Colin to get tired of Phoebe and courted her again.
How could Phoebe not know what these men were thinking? It was disgusting. She really couldn''t stay
here for a moment. Colin''s eyes were extremely disgusting, as if he was sure that he would definitely
win her heart.
So she immediately said to Sandra, "Sandra, I really have to go back. I''ll ask you out for dinner next
time."
"Hey, we''re having a good time here. Why are you leaving so early?" Sandra said with a frown.
Phoebe did not dare to offend Sandra, so she said perplexedly, "Sandra, it''s not that I want to cast a
chill over you, but that my husband ising soon. It''s not good to be seen by him."
When Sandra saw that Phoebe was really about to leave, she couldn''t stay her any longer. Just as
Sandra was about to agree, a woman said, "Sandra, you know the rules of our circle. This is not a
ce where you cane and go whenever you want. You were the one who rmended Phoebe
to us. Now she is about to leave right after the dinner, what does she mean? She doesn''t take us
seriously at all!"
Someone else echoed, "Evelyn is right. The threshold of our circle is very high. We are all upper-ss
and influential people. We only let Phoebe in because of you, but now she suddenly says she''s leaving.
Does she regard our ce as a wet market where everyone cane and go at will?"
"Sandra, you have to think about it. Don''t let us down!"
Several people began to make trouble for Sandra and put pressure on her. Immediately, Sandra''s face
clouded over. She said to Phoebe, "They''re right. This is not a circle where you can get in and out as
you wish."
Phoebe''s expression changed when she heard this, "Sandra, I really..."
Sandra interrupted her and said, "Well, before your husbandes, don''t leave and talk to us. If you
still can''t stay, then you can leave."
Phoebe bit her lip. She wanted to leave now, but in this situation, she knew that she couldn''t leave.
Once she left, the SK Lighting would have a hard time in H City in the future.
After weighing her options, she had no choice but to agree to stay for Tom to pick her up.
Seeing that she agreed, Sandra smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Phoebe, I
know how you feel. It''s just that you are too shy and feel sorry for your husband. Believe me, the first
step is always difficult. As long as you take this step, then you will get endless happiness, okay?"
Phoebe had no choice but to smile awkwardly. She couldn''t refute Sandra.
She had been a very traditional and chaste person since she was young. She really couldn''t do these
things.
Not to mention that her rtionship with Tom was getting better, even in the past, when Tom was a
coward, she had not done such shameless things.
However, now that Sandra had said so, she couldn''t make Sandra look bad. Thus, she stayed
temporarily until Tom arrived.
Colin sat down next to her, poured her a ss of red wine, smiled and said, "Miss Scott, you don''t look
like a married person at all. You''re too young and pure. I''ve seen a lot of young married woman, but
you don''t have the temperament of a young married woman at all. I''m really curious, how do you do it?"
Colin sat down next to her and leaned closer to her. When he spoke, he deliberately put his hand on
the sofa behind her. He turned half towards Phoebe and looked aggressive. Phoebe could always
smell the fine perfume he was wearing, which made Phoebe feel very ufortable. She quickly
moved away and kept a distance from Colin.
"Colin, please don''t get so close. I''m married." Phoebe said righteously as she grabbed her bag and
put it in front of her. She was very defensive.
Colin was even more unhappy when he saw Phoebe being so guarded against him, but he didn''t show
it and kept a handsome smile and said, "Miss Scott, you don''t have to be so nervous. I just want to
make friends with you. I heard from Sandra that you are the chairman of the SK Lighting. You''re great. I
don''t think there will be another president as young and beautiful as you in the H City. I happen to be in
the real estate business. This is my business card. I often order lighting. If you are interested, we can
have a deep cooperation."
He deliberately emphasized the word ''deep'' and looked at Phoebe. His meaning was self-evident.
Phoebe was a little interested. She had heard of Forever Properties, which was a rtively powerful
real estatepany in the H City. If she could cooperate with Forever Properties, it would be a good
thing for SK Lighting.
She took Colin''s business card, but Colin''s purpose was not pure. When she took his business card, he
deliberately touched her fingertips, and a bad smile appeared on his face. He was molesting Phoebe.
In an instant, Phoebe''s face clouded over. She wanted to lose her temper, but she held her anger back.
She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Tom. She wanted to ask where Tom was, but he
didn''t reply, which made her so disappointed.
Next, Colin found many kinds of topics to talk to her. He was really good at flirting with women. Several
times, Phoebe was seduced by him, and her heart beat faster. Fortunately, she was very determined
and would never betray Tom, causing all of Colin''s flirting skills to fail. Seeing that all of his flirting skills
didn''t work, Colin was extremely depressed.
Colin was a very conceited person. In terms of flirting with girls, he thought that he was the best one in
the H City. There was no woman in the world that he could not get. Now the more Phoebe resisted and
the more indifferent she was, the stronger his desire to win her heart grew! He swore to get Phoebe.
Thus, he did everything he could to attract Phoebe. Unfortunately, Phoebe remained indifferent and
finally made him a little angry, "Miss Scott, I''ve toasted you so many times, but you keep turning me
down. It''s not good to make me look bad."
Phoebe still didn''t want to drink. She shook her head and said, "I''m sorry. My husband doesn''t like me
to drink, or he''ll be angry."
Colin waspletely enraged. He was so angry that he evenughed, "ording to you, your
husband must be an outstanding person. Otherwise, you won''t be so loyal to him."
"Of course, my husband is the best man in the world." Phoebe looked up and said, her eyes shining.
When Colin saw Phoebe like this, he was really angry and hated Phoebe''s husband in his heart.
"I really want to meet your husband. I want to know what kind of person he is." Colin said with a sinister
expression.
Phoebe said, "He''s on his way to pick me up. You''ll see himter."
As soon as she finished speaking, Phoebe''s phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Tom who
called her. She was happy and answered it, "Hello, Tom, are you there?"
