Chapter 563
“Don’t touch me! You guys are disgusting! Katie, If you dare to do anything to Phoebe, I won’t spare you!”
Howard shook off Katie’s hand and sprinted downstairs.
Watching him leave, Katie’s features twisted in anger, and she knocked over a massive porcelain vase in the hallway.
She knew very well that Sheena dodged a bullet while Colin’s reputation was completely ruined!
Moreover, the Upton family might face a heap of trouble!
Yet, none of that mattered to Katie. Even if she could not ruin Sheena, she would at least destroy Phoebe!!
Behind her, Nicole was managing the media in Colin’s room, and Ron had already gone downstairs to deal with the chaos in the garden.
The towering cake had not even been brought out yet, but more than half of the guests, unable to tolerate the stimulating scenes on the big screen, insisted on leaving.
Unfazed, Katie, acting like a madwoman, rushed down another staircase, intending to beat Howard to it and take a shortcut to deal with Phoebe personally.
Just a moment ago, after finishing her performance, Phoebe, along with a few members, raised their glasses backstage in their room, sipping on juice. Little did she know that within minutes, she would start feeling uncomfortably warm, and despite enduring the discomfort, she decided to make a quick
visit to the restroom.
Phoebe wandered through the corridor with her hands on the wall. However, she was suddenly scooped up by a rough–looking man with a scruffy beard and carried down to the basement.
The basement door was tightly shut, with occasional faint sounds escaping.
Katie, accompanied by five bodyguards and holding a camera, hurried over, planning to capture some compromising photos of Phoebe.
When the door opened, the sight inside left her greatly disappointed.
Phoebe, propped against the corner, had blood–stained hands gripping a steel rod. Despite trembling all over and her performance costume torn to pieces, her eyes were resolute, showing no signs of distress, only a fierce determination to fight to the end.
Besides, she had only taken a sip of the drugged juice, and the drug content was not too potent, allowing her to barely maintain a semblance of consciousness.
“What’s going on? Why hasn’t anyone started yet?”

Katie was on the verge of exploding. She even began to suspect if she was going through a streak of bad luck, with everything going wrong!
The man, who had been beaten to a pulp by Phoebe, cautiously approached her. Upon hearing Katie’s voice, he limped over to Katic.
“Miss, this woman is too fierce, and she’s surprisingly strong. I really can’t handle her!”
“Worthless piece of shit!” Katie slapped him mercilessly, her venomous gaze fixed on Phoebe in the corner. She barked at the bodyguards behind her, “Everyone, go at her together! Take turns! Each of you gets a bonus of 150 thousand dollars!”
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards‘ eyes turned hostile, and they charged toward Phoebe.
“Don’t come any closer! Stay back!”
Phoebe swung the rod wildly, but she could not resist the combined strength of the bodyguards, and her weapon was instantly taken away. She sank into extreme panic and despair.
However, she would rather die than be touched by these filthy men!
Summoning her last bit of strength, Phoebe planned to bite her tongue to end it all.
However, before the bodyguards could lay a hand on her shoulder, Howard arrived and kicked them. down one by one.
Arms snapped with a bone–crushing sound as they hit the ground, and howls and cries echoed one
after another.
Katie, leaning against the doorway, pocketed hands, had not even processed what was happening when she realized all the bodyguards were down.
Howard was so fast that she did not even see him move!
Howard crouched down, swiftly removed his suit, tightly wrapped Phoebe, and forcefully pinched her face, making her open her mouth and preventing her from biting her tongue.
“Phoebe, it’s me! I’m sorry for being late!”
