Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 202 Turning Tides

Jeremy's face looked grim.

But Natalie, oblivious, kept shouting, "Jeremy, teach them a lesson! They're already dead meat and still mouthing off!"

Jeremy remained silent.

He decided not to act hastily before understanding the situation. He didn't want to mess with someone important and invite trouble they couldn't handle.

Jeremy subtly glanced at his subordinates.

Then he told Natalie, "Ms. Natalie, I know you're upset, but let's not rush."

"This is a law-abiding society. You can't just say anything you want. What happened earlier might have been a misunderstanding. Regardless, you wrecked our place and broke a lot of furniture. Shouldn't you compensate us first?"

Violeta glanced at the mess around her.

She didn't expect Jeremy to be as steady as she remembered from the previous life, especially considering they had shared meals on set.

Violeta didn't want to make a big deal out of this.

She said, "These few chairs and tables aren't worth much. Who knows what might have happened if we hadn't resisted just now. Ms. Natalie has quite a fiery temper-she tries to strike up a conversation, fails, and then wants to pin people down here. She even tried to force us to drink a few bottles of liquor. We wrecked your place, so consider this settling the score. Let's go, guys."

Zoren is puzzled. "Huh? Just like that??"

Jasper and Liam looked at Hayden, who remained expressionless and did not say a word.

Hayden didn't speak up, and they didn't know what to do, but he seemed to tacitly agree with what Violeta said.
