Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 197 The Owner of Spring City Hotel

Hazel said, "It's the man who was on the lawn earlier, talking on the phone with the teacher."

Violeta raised her eyes slightly and saw Oliver.

Oliver had come up to find Grace. Earlier, Grace had hung up on him, and after some thought, he worried that she might be angry. So he came up to explain himself. If she didn't like the roses, he would have someone take them away.

"Grace."

Grace got a headache as soon as she saw Oliver. "I've told you, call me Ms. Parker!"

Vivian and her group heard their conversation and stopped in their tracks. Everyone turned their gaze towards Oliver.

So this man was the wealthy real estate tycoon from Heokrish? The one pursuing Grace!?

Vivian frowned. The guy in front of her had a strong presence. He wasn't super muscular, but his suit made him look every bit like a mature man.

Oliver was a head taller than Declan. He walked over to stand beside Grace.

The two of them looked like a perfect match.

Mostly because Oliver took good care of himself and had a strong presence.

Unlike Declan, who had worn himself out over the years with smoking, drinking, and socialising.

Seeing this contrast...

Vivian felt a pang of jealousy. How could Grace, at her age, still meet such a great guy while Declan had turned out like this? The comparison made her feel really bitter!

No wonder Grace wasn't interested in Declan earlier.

If she were in Grace's shoes, she wouldn't be interested either.

Vivian refused to admit that she was worse off
