Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3402

Phoebe sighed, her tone laced with faux heartache. "When Carson came to back you up that day, I really thought he liked you and that you two had a great relationship. I can't believe it was all fake. It's so disappointing."

She frowned, looking the picture of concern. "He's already messing around before the wedding. What are you going to do?"

"I heard his father openly keeps a mistress, and his illegitimate son is publicly fighting for the inheritance. It seems Carson takes after his dad."

Marina turned around, her gaze turning frosty. "No wonder your heart condition is so bad. You worry too much about things that are none of your business. How could you ever get better?"

"Didn't the doctor tell you to stay calm and avoid getting overly anxious or excited?"

"All the supplements in the world won't help as much as minding your own business. Don't you agree?"

Phoebe's smile stiffened. "I'm just worried about you!"

Marina feigned surprise. "Oh, your heart is hurting again? Should I call an ambulance for you?"

Seeing Marina ruthlessly poke at her sore spots, a dark glint flashed in Phoebe's eyes. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "No need."

Marina smiled and turned back to continue walking.

Phoebe stared at her retreating figure, suddenly unsure if Marina's composure was just an act.

That evening.

As the Evert family finished dinner, Grandpa Evert asked, "Jude, what's going on with the Foster family? They're dragging us down with them. The internet is calling the Evert family a bunch of pushovers."

Jude frowned. After a long moment, he said, "I'm sure there's a misunderstanding."

"If you have free time, you should focus on Phoebe. When I got back this afternoon, she was complaining about chest pains," Marina remarked casually.

The entire family immediately turned to Phoebe in panic. "Are you feeling unwell again?"

Phoebe shot a sideways glance at Marina and forced a smile. "I'm feeling much better now."

Aunt Charlotte and Mrs. Evert peppered Phoebe with questions about her symptoms, showering her with concern and advice. Naturally, they completely forgot about Marina.

While Carson was having breakfast with his mother, Barton stormed into the room.

However, the moment he spotted Mrs. Foster, the man acted like an enraged lion encountering its natural predator. He instantly retracted his aggression, suppressing his anger. "Carson, come to the study."
