Although Phoebe Huxley looked down on Phoenix Golding, calling her a bitch every other word, she had to admit that Phoenix Golding was indeed beautiful—far more beautiful than her. It was no wonder Felix Thorne had been unable to forget the bitch.
Phoebe Huxley had liked Felix Thorne since she was a young woman, but she suffered from low self-esteem and never dared to confess her feelings. Later, when Felix Thorne and Phoenix Golding became passionately involved, Phoebe Huxley was even less inclined to reveal her heart.
But unexpectedly, things with Phoenix Golding fell through, and Byron Thorne approached her father to propose a marriage. At the time, her parents had disagreed.
