Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 145 Benson's Ambitions

Niall is currently single and not engaged to anyone.

Hattie found him particularly interesting, not just because of his present status but also because of the potential he possesses for the future.

She saw it as a great opportunity to get to know someone like Niall.

When Hattie and Benson moved from Harbor City to Quinston for school, Hannah advised Hattie that networking in the capital would be crucial, especially with business magnates.

This way, when Hattie entered the entertainment industry, she would have a robust support system.

In the entertainment industry, it was widely recognised that making it without connections or a solid background could be extremely difficult. While hard work alone could sometimes lead to success, it often resulted in a much more challenging path.

So, why not take a shortcut if one presented itself?

Hannah had chosen to have children, betting on the support of the Ridges for life; after all, children were valuable assets.

Like her mother, Hattie harbours significant ambitions.

"Zoren is also at Toland University and is close to Liam. Benson, Liam is better connected in Quinston than you, so we must carve out our own successful path," Hattie noted.

Benson, seated and contemplative, responded, "I plan to finish my studies next semester and then head abroad."

Surprised, Hattie asked, "Abroad? Have you discussed this with Mom?"
