Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 142 Island Vacation

Ever since she won the jade bracelet for 1.2 million at the auction, Zelena has been posting tons of photos on social media.

The auction itself is just as important as the bracelet.

Zelena's photography skills created the illusion that she was sitting in the front rows, even though their seats were towards the middle. She cleverly edited out the people in front of her. Before boarding the plane, Zelena called Hattie to boast.

"Hey, Hattie, I'm about to board a flight back to Arlowand. How's your island vacation?"

Hattie, who was lounging on the beach, replied, "Not bad; the sun's great. I'm just sunbathing."

Zelena continued, "Did you see the photos I posted? Verdancia is amazing! Such a pity you couldn't come."

All of Zelena's recent posts showcased her spending spree in Verdancia and buying luxury items.

In every photo, she made sure to subtly display her 1.2 million-dollar bracelet.

Let alone checking her posts, Hattie was already kind enough by not blocking or hiding her page.

Hattie, trying to be polite, said, "Yes, I've seen them."

Feeling satisfied, Zelena said, "I got you a souvenir. When are you coming back from vacation? Let's meet up."

Hattie replied, "In a week. My mom's on set and can't join me, so it's pretty boring here alone."
