Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 160 Escaping the Island

Just as Hattie was on the brink of panic, a servant rushed up from the wine cellar and said, "Miss Hattie, the water leak downstairs is getting worse. Do you know what happened?" "Getting worse?"

After hearing this, Hattie's heart skipped a beat.

Could my brother have been right all along?

She struggled to maintain her composure. "Have you moved all the wine upstairs?"

The servant nodded. "Almost everything is upstairs now."

Hattie said, "Then you guys come up and rest for a while. I'm heading upstairs."

After saying that, Hattie hurriedly ran upstairs to discuss the situation with Benson.

Benson finally contacted Hannah.

On the film set, Hannah heard the news and immediately sent someone to contact the real estate manager who had originally sold her the island.

After some interrogation, the truth came out: the island had been artificially expanded.

Hannah was deceived. She felt a surge of regret.

Since several years had passed, the real estate manager now showed his true colours and shrugged off the accusations. "Ms. Leid, how can you say I deceived you? The price for the island was already very low, with a 40% discount. You get what you pay for. I'm sure you understand that as an adult."

Furious, Hannah retorted, "Just wait. I'm taking you to court!"
