Leon saw the Twitter post from Jamar and couldn’t help but call him Meanwhile, Jamar had been scrolling through Twitter, hoping to see Phoebe would reply to him. After all, he had previously noticed Phoebe responding to Erika.
When Jamar saw the incoming call, he answered right away. Leon, why are your calling me?”
Leon’s voice sounded extremely displeased “Are you out of your mind? Did you really go ahead and post something like that on Twitter?”

After thinking it over, she decided to message Reece and ask if he wanted to post something on Twitter.Reece replied with a curt message: [Don’t make things awkward for yourself.]
Afterward, Sienna sent a couple more messages in an attempt to chat, but Recce didn’t respond.
As time passed without a reply, Sienna felt increasingly uncomfortable. So, she intentionally messaged Ophelia, asking if Reece was busy and why he hadn’t responded to her. Sienna expressed concem for him.
In the Hill residence, Reece noticed Sienna’s new message but had no desire to reply. Frustrated, he tossed his phone aside and picked up a bottle of wine, pouring himself a drink.
Reece was not surprised by Phoebe’s rejection of Maddox and her decision to start her own studio. After all, he knew she had always been independent and self–sufficient, which was one of the qualities he admired about her.
Reece genuinely wished he could be with Phoebe at that moment, celebrating the opening of her new studio, but he understood she wouldn’t pay him any attention.
Recently, Reece had tried to reach out to her, but all his attempts had failed. Phoebe hung up the moment she recognized his voice.
Unlike Jamar, Reece wouldn’t stoop to making foolish Twitter posts that would only drive Phoebe further away. He felt both agitated and distressed, unsure how to help Phoebe move past their past issues so they could reconcile.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Reece called out. “Come in.”
Ophelia pushed the door open and stepped inside, finding Reece sitting on the floor, looking despondent as he drank. She frowned slightly. “What are you doing to yourself!”
Reece glanced at his wine glass and muttered, “Nothing much, just feeling down.”
Ophelia noticed his state and frowned deeper. “Is this about the stuff online or abour Phoebe!”
Reece didn’t answer; instead, he looked up and asked, “What’s up?”
Ophelia pressed on. Sienna texted you. Why didn’t you respond! What happened to your manners? Isn’t this how I t
taught you to behave!”
Reece was already annoyed, and with the alcohol affecting him, he suddenly smashed his wine glass to the floor, startling Ophelia. Before she could scold him, Reece spoke up first, his eyes red with frustration. “Sienna Sienna! Does it seem like an outsider is more important to you than your own son? When have you ever raised me? I was raised by Grandpa”

“And after all the trouble she caused online, making you all look bad, “You’re being so foolish!”
“What’s so special about Phoebe? she wondered. Ophelia couldn’t understand why Reece was so infatuated with Phoebe. In Ophelia’s mind, the couldn’t allow Reece to disregard her wishes.
Ophelia was determined that Reece wouldn’t end up like Brenda, always going against her
