There's actually a reason why he said that.
SPOILERS
There's a princess who likes going after taken men ,who is known to be very persistent and will get what she wants. So she had her eyes on Phil so lex told him to badmouth viola and express that he wants to break his engagement with her so that the princess who likes taken guys will lose interest. And Natalie is the best person to badmouth viola to. Tbh I thinks it's really stupid . And this is also why viola is so skeptical of Phil's feelings .
What wait did u just say???? What's that in the middle of the chapter????!!!! U really said that back then???? If yes what an asshole really, I just hope that's no the case, maybe Philip didn't finish his sentence or smh, if u really said that wowwww mannnnn I'mma dropped this. And I mean why can't u just be honest with your feelings? So frustrating omgggggggg!!!
