Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 141 Take It to My Grave

The compensation and apology were fully delivered.

Violeta smiled, glancing at Wally, who looked defeated. She sarcastically remarked, "It looks like you need to learn more from your uncle."

Ivor's face flushed with embarrassment.

"What happened today was indeed his fault. We'll take full responsibility for the aftermath. Did he injure anyone? If he did, we'll cover the hospital expenses too." Wally scowled and stated, "Uncle Ivor, it's our people who suffered."

"How dare you talk back!"

Ivor turned and slapped him. He scolded, "You ungrateful brat! When we get back, you're grounded. If you dare to leave the house again, I'll break your legs!" Wally felt utterly wronged.

He had thought Ivor was there to back him up, but to his surprise, his usually indulgent uncle didn't side with him this time.

"Get in the car! Stop being an eyesore."

"Alright."

Wally entered the car with a grievance in mind.

The area's notoriously spoiled brat was now receiving childlike reprimands without daring to speak.

Hayden doesn't remember him; therefore, Ivor's gestures did not leave a lasting impression.

Cyril was not one to make unreasonable demands. He accepted the compensation without further complaint.
