Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 111 The Final Match

Upon hearing Nolan's recount of Violeta's bold statement, Wade paused momentarily before laughing heartily. "This girl is truly interesting and straightforward. It's refreshing to see such spirit in young people!" Used to the constant superficiality and empty praises, Wade seldom came across genuine honesty and authenticity.

So, he found Violeta's honesty refreshing, and it genuinely delighted him.

His laughter subsided into a smile of anticipation.

"Such confidence from her, I'm eager to see if she can really win."

"I believe so."

"Oh? Have you seen her play before?" Wade asked, intrigued.

Nolan shook his head. "I haven't seen her play chess specifically, but Violeta carries an aura of confidence that seems to assure victory."

As they conversed, Violeta continued to command attention, much like she had during a previous tennis league, where her vibrant presence and every swing of the racket captivated onlookers.

Zelena also made it to the second round.

Violeta showed no signs of the expected diarrhea, making Zelena suspect that Benson accidentally drank the tea laced with laxatives she had intended for Violeta.

Disappointed that Violeta escaped unscathed, Zelena was notably upset.

Zelena was taken aback to discover that Violeta knew how to play chess.

She had always believed that Violeta could not play. When had she learned?

Zelena had invested a lot of effort into mastering chess, watching numerous tutorials, and practicing diligently, all to surpass Violeta.
