Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 108 I Won't Let Any Opportunity Slip Away

Hattie felt a wave of delight when she noticed Wade and his group strolling toward her in the park, grinning broadly. It was a stroke of luck to encounter Wade in the park, a fact that filled her with disbelief. However, her happiness quickly faded when she glimpsed Violeta among Wade's group.

Why did it have to be Violeta again?

What rotten luck!

"Lena, take a look."

Zelena glanced ahead, her face lighting up momentarily before souring. "Why does Violeta have to be here as well?"

Hattie responded, "She is such a conniver. It's no surprise she's acquainted with Mr. Howell. She probably had manipulated Nolan!"

Zelena clenched her jaw.

Nolan was her objective. She had been meticulously monitoring the interactions between Violeta and Nolan at school. She hadn't observed any signs of closeness between them, but she never anticipated Violeta, that detestable individual, to be lurking around on the weekend attempting to cosy up to Nolan.

It's utterly brazen. I've underestimated her far too much!

"Let's go greet them!"

Hattie hesitated. "Mr. Howell despises flattery. If we approach now, he might interpret it as an attempt to ingratiate ourselves with him. It could backfire, and he might end up disliking us."

Zelena suggested, "Last time I was here, I spotted a chess hall adjacent to the park hosting a competition today. They're likely heading there for the competition. Why don't we casually run into them at the chess hall?"

A chess competition would provide the ideal platform for her to showcase her abilities.

Wade, a fervent chess enthusiast, would undoubtedly be impressed by her chess skills upon witnessing it.
