Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 167 The Dark Web

After finally catching Hera and securing her back in the cage, Violeta emerged from her room to find Hattie still sitting on the sofa.

She frowned, sensing something was off.

Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the water cup on the coffee table in front of Hattie. Just before she had gone into her room, Hattie's cup had been empty. Now it was filled with water. That's suspicious...

As Violeta puzzled over this, the servant who had delivered the water to the study approached her. The servant respectfully greeted, "Good evening, Miss Violeta."

Just as the servant was about to head downstairs, Violeta turned to her and asked, "Where did you just come from?"

"I just delivered water to the study, Miss Violeta," the servant replied.

Delivered water?

Delivered water...

In a flash, everything clicked in Violeta's mind. She bolted towards the study.

The servant stood there, bewildered as she watched Violeta rush away, as if something major had happened. Violeta burst into the study, calling out, "Bro!"

But upon entering, she found not only Niall but also Hayden inside, seemingly in the middle of a conversation.

Both men turned towards the door, surprised by the sudden intrusion.
