Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 149 Violeta's True Identity

Seeing Violeta comfortably seated in the speedboat, untouched by the wind or rain, Hattie trembled with rage. "D*mn it! D*mn them!"

The speedboat's roof was made of specialised glass material, clear enough to see outside from within and vice versa.

Thus, as they sped past Hattie's speedboat, not only did Hattie see Violeta, but Violeta also saw Hattie.

Hattie's frantic, exasperated expression was fully visible to Violeta.

Violeta simply turned her head away, her demeanour calm and unaffected.

Meanwhile, on another part of the island, Benson was observing the sea through binoculars.

He had also noticed the two speedboats, one of which carried Violeta and her group.

When Hattie reached the shore, she was completely drenched. Immediately, a servant wrapped her in a towel.

"Hattie, why would you go out to sea so late at night?"

Hattie, fuming and feeling unjustly treated, did not see her own mistake.
