Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 268 So You Think You Can Bully Me

Niall figured out what Violeta was thinking and stepped forward to pat her shoulder, saying, "Vio, don't overthink it. Focus on recovering from your injuries first."

"I know, Bro."

Nolan went ahead to sort out the paperwork.

Hayden quietly left the room and called to check on the situation at Zoren's side.

...

Inside the ski resort, Zoren and others waited in the infirmary for nearly forty minutes until a woman in a fur coat finally arrived.

After meeting this woman, Zoren realized that the nanny's arrogance was actually tolerable.

Compared to the nanny, this woman's attitude was even more brazen. Her nose jutted at an unnatural angle, and her facial features were typical of someone who had undergone cosmetic surgery. Clad in a mink coat, she gave off the impression of being the mistress of some newly wealthy businessman.

She had barely stepped into the infirmary when she yelled with a hoarse voice, "Who's trying to extort my son? Of all days, you caused trouble for me on New Year's Day. I won't let this slide easily!" The ski resort staff explained the whole situation to her.

Surprisingly, her attitude remained just as arrogant after hearing the explanation.

"Oh, so I'm supposed to be grateful to that woman? Haha, what a joke. She's fortunate she avoided my son. Otherwise, I'd have sued her until she lost everything!"

Observing from the side, Jasper was fed up with her behavior and gave her a head-to-toe scan.

"Hey, lady, it's not your fault for lacking common sense, but it's inappropriate to make people uncomfortable with your ignorance. Your moral compass seems as twisted as your nose. Listen, this isn't about you holding us accoutable anymore. We're going to sue you!"
