Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 158 The Island Is Going to Collapse

What factors can cause the soil structure underground to become loose?

Before we built the wine cellar on the basement level, we had to apply a very tight waterproof coating.

The soil structure outside might have loosened if water can still seep in. A waterproof coating can temporarily prevent water, but not forever. It's been several years since the island was renovated. Could it be time for a reevaluation?

Benson felt that something was amiss and quickly went upstairs to investigate what was happening.

Hattie stood on the steps with a look of disdain.

She hadn't yet realised the seriousness of the situation and instructed the servants, "Hurry up! These wines are costly!"

Previously, Hannah often hosted guests from the circle on this island. The wines stored here are worth at least thousands of dollars, approaching millions.

After speaking, Hattie also turned and went upstairs.

It was early morning, and her mood was as bad as this weather.

After being on the island for over a month, it's really annoying that the heavy rain decides to start now.

Encountering Violeta is never a good sign.

What a streak of bad luck!

With no servants to prepare breakfast, Hattie had to make do with some bread and milk she found in the refrigerator.

Then she sat on the sofa and browsed the internet on her phone.
