Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 188 Grace's Enemy

The driver came forward. "Miss, please get in the car."

Lucy looked away and got in. "Spring City."

Tonight, not only was Grace throwing a party in Spring City, but another big name in the dance world, Vivian Montclair, was there for the same reason too.

Grace was Violeta and the Nelson sisters' teacher.

And Vivian was Lucy's teacher.

Both of them turned forty this year, became famous dance masters around the same time, and, coincidentally, they even share the same birthday.

Violeta and the Nelson sisters picked up the gift and then took a taxi to Spring City.

"Everyone coming tonight are veterans in the dance world. Our teacher will introduce you to everyone. After all, you are her last disciple!"

They arrived at Spring City.

The three of them got out of the car, and before they even went inside, they saw two signs hanging at the entrance.

Next to Grace's birthday party sign, there was another sign for someone else's birthday party.

Violeta didn't pay much attention and glanced past it.

But when Hazel and Nydia saw the name on the other sign, their expressions immediately changed.

"Vivian!?"

"Why is she at this hotel too?"

Violeta asked, "What's wrong?"
