Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 150 You Got Scared?

Benson's eyes darkened as he said, "It doesn't matter if Violeta is an illegitimate child or not. What's important is that you don't make an enemy of her, Hattie."

"Benson, it's hard to swallow that simply bearing the surname White grants automatic nobility, isn't it?"

Hattie's frustration was evident in her tone. "I'm sorry, but Violeta doesn't sit well with me."

They had already clashed a lot at school, so avoiding conflict now seemed impossible.

Benson sighed. "Hattie, the White family is a major player in Quinston. Having them as friends could be beneficial."

Hattie scoffed, "Seriously? Her?

"Don't bother Violeta, even Zoren is merely a peripheral member of the White family. The real person to befriend is Niall! He's the one with real power. Benson, stop worrying about me. I've got this."

Meanwhile, back on the island.

Violeta and the others returned to the villa.

Violeta headed to her room for a shower. Before the rain started, the servants had already moved the birdcage from the terrace into her room.

Downstairs, a cake was being baked, and a servant brought a slice up to Violeta.

"Ms. Violeta, please enjoy."

"Thanks."

She took the cake into her room. With the rain pouring outside, a movie playing in the background, and a delicious cake to enjoy, it was the perfect setting for a cozy night in.

But before diving into the cake, Violeta needed to find an exciting movie to watch!

She grabbed the remote and started searching for a horror movie. While she was busy, Violeta didn't notice that the cake on the table was being sneakily pecked at by Hera, the little thief.
