Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 177 Jour 24

"Where'd you go this summer?"

"I visited the prairie and the islands."

"Sounds fun."

"It was."

After a short chat in the park, they discussed the chess club.

Nolan heard from Wade that the chess club was planning a lecture at universities to promote chess and might go to Toland University.

Since Violeta was in the club and also attended Toland University, he might need her to help out.

"Sure. I'm free anytime. Just let me know."

Right then, Violeta's phone rang.

It was Irene, asking her to come home. Irene had returned early and prepared some outfits for Violeta to try on.

"Mom's telling me to go home now. See you at school," Violeta said.

"Okay."

Leaving the park with Tuna, Violeta headed home.

Nolan stayed to play with Cutie, still training her not to accept food from strangers.

He took Violeta's advice seriously and wanted to prevent others from poisoning Cutie.

At home, Irene, who had been waiting in the living room, greeted Violeta with excitement.
