Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 259 Meeting

Hannah brought up two promising scripts for the coming year in front of Zelena, clearly aiming to steer Hattie's career path.

In the snug living room, warmed by the central heating, Hannah sat with poise on the sofa. She wore a beige, high-end coat that showcased her elegant posture. With a tea cup in her slender fingers, her long, curled hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her makeup was impeccable and radiated a refined femininity.

Hattie, who had inherited her mother's looks, appeared youthful beside her.

Zelena sat on the adjacent sofa, a cup of steaming oolong tea in front of her.

On the coffee table was a beauty device Zelena had brought from abroad-a rare and thoughtful gift.

Hannah took a sip of her tea and said, "Hattie, do you recall Mr. Stanley from our previous meeting?"

Hattie nodded eagerly. "Yes, I remember."

"He's now working on a new project called 'The Legend of Blind Detective.' I've reviewed the crew, and it's quite impressive."

Hattie's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Really, Mum? Are you helping me get a role in this? That's amazing!"

Zelena, sitting nearby, tensed slightly. The Legend of Blind Detective?
