Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 196 Surveillance Footage

Nydia said, "We saw it all on the lawn behind the terrace just now. It was your pig of a husband who hugged our teacher. Ms. Parker struggled to get away, but he still tried to follow."

Vivian's voice was sharp as she exclaimed, "That's impossible! You guys are this b*tch's disciples. Of course, you'd support her. Grace, this isn't over between us!

The guests in the dining hall were all prominent figures in the circle.

If this matter got out, Grace's reputation would be ruined.

Violeta took a step forward, glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner of the terrace, and said, "Then let's check the surveillance footage. There's a camera right here. Let's see who made the first move." Grace agreed. "Sure, let's check!"

Upon hearing this, Declan was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, he had let alcohol cloud his judgement and couldn't control himself when he saw Grace. Now, if they checked the surveillance footage, wouldn't his actions from earlier be exposed? Declan's heart sank as he started to panic.

He whispered to Vivian, "Vivian, if this thing blows up, it's going to be bad for everyone. Let's not make fools of ourselves. Let's just drop it!"

Vivian's heart skipped a beat when she heard his words.

After being together for so long, Vivian had already sensed Declan's uncertainty. If he wasn't sure, then he must be in the wrong.

This d*mn jerk wants to cheat on me with Grace behind my back!

In an instant, Vivian felt like she was being cheated.

She gritted her teeth, determined not to let Grace off the hook!
