Chapter 147 The Storm Is Coming

Hattie dismissed him with a wave of her hand, "What are you scared of? The sea is calm. It doesn't look like a storm is coming. Just go over there, quickly!"

With no room for debate, the crew member reluctantly steered the speedboat closer as Hattie demanded.

Once close enough to capture the figures on the yacht with her phone, Hattie hurriedly took a picture and sent it to Zelena.

The image was slow to load on the plane, and Zelena grew increasingly impatient.

How could Violeta possibly be vacationing on an island?

That's absurd...

Hattie must have made a mistake.

When the photo finally loaded, Zelena quickly examined it.

Though Hattie did her best, the faces were still blurry, yet with her intense dislike for Violeta, Zelena immediately recognised that the woman in the photo was indeed Violeta!

'See, I wasn't wrong! That's Violeta! I can't capture it well with my phone, but with my binoculars, it's clear! That's Violeta with Jasper, Hayden, Zoren, and Liam! And yes, that yacht is Niall's! How could Violeta be hanging out with them?'
