Chapter 844
Sheena had been outside greeting guests the whole time.
It was only when the party was about to begin that Phoebe arrived hurriedly, and Sheena quickly ushered her inside,
The seat beside Howard was intentionally left empty, but Phoebe just glanced at it and chose a nearby vacant spot instead. Sheena noticed the unusual tension between them and discreetly signaled Howard with her eyes.
When couples were arguing, it was best for them to sort it out themselves; others could not really
intervene.
During the banquet, Phoebe elegantly sipped on her red wine.
Since winning the Best Actress award, her acting career has flourished, and her conduct has improved with each film set she worked on. She had seamlessly integrated into the upper-class society, except for not being officially recognized by the Nicholls family yet.
Her table was filled with guests.
Howard secretly observed her from a distance and noticed the men sitting on either side of her.
Mixed emotions swirled in his mind as he finished his meal in a gloomy mood.
When the party came to the dancing segment, Phoebe found a quiet spot and had a private conversation with Sheena.
Sheena gently clinked her juice glass with Phoebe’s and cautiously asked, “What’s going on between you and Howard? | noticed you didn’t exchange a single word with him at the party today. Did you two have a fight?”
Phoebe paused mid-sip, her movement halting abruptly.
After a brief delay, she downed the entire glass in one gulp, her adorable face flushed. Her gaze, however, remained clear and unwavering.
“Sheena, | want to break up with him!”
Howard, who had approached unnoticed, overheard Phoebe’s words.
His face darkened, and he flew into a rage on the spot, decisively grabbing Phoebe’s hand and pulling her away.
He did not forget to apologize to Sheena, saying, “Nana, we have some private matters to discuss. We'll leave now. We'll come back in a few days to see the twins!”
With that, Howard dragged Phoebe away, leaving no room for her to refuse. “Howard, what are you doing? Let go!”
Howard acted as if he did not hear her, remaining cold and staying silent.
“You're hurting me. Let go!” Phoebe’s voice was rather loud, and she appeared visibly distressed, drawing the attention of many guests.
Howard loosened his grip slightly, turned around, bent down, and hoisted her onto his shoulder, heading toward the exit. “Put me down! Howard, be reasonable!”
Howard tightened his hold, immobilizing her struggling legs, and spoke in a deep, stern voice, “If you don’t want to attract more attention and ruin Nana’s baby shower, you better behave.”
Phoebe stopped pounding his back with her fists.

Howard’s eyes reddened further, his grip on her shoulders tightening as anger simmered in his gaze. “Phoebe, say that to me again!”
Growing equally frustrated, Phoebe raised her voice.
“Howard, | said | want to break up! Do you understand? It means we’re done, it’s over!”
The pain in Howard’s chest intensified as he grabbed her arms, pulling her down onto his lap as he restrained her struggling waist.
With his right hand raised high, he delivered a resounding slap to her bottom. The loud sound echoed through the car, leaving Phoebe’s mind reeling in searing pain.
Yuri, the driver, was left stunned.
