Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 291 A Promise

"Hayden, are you going to stay in Newham and not come back to Quinston in the future?"

Under the streetlight, Hayden's dark eyes met hers. He spoke slowly. "I'll be back in five years."

"What? Five years? That's way too long."

Violeta looked away. The wind was blowing. She glanced down at her toes and mumbled, "Five years later, that will be my third year after graduation. I wonder if I will have won any awards by then."

In her previous life, the gap between her and Zelena had widened significantly after she left Toland University.

Of course, leaving Toland University marked the beginning of her unlucky life.

The familiar campus script would be finished.

From that point on, it would all depend on her strength.

This world wasn't just black and white. Those who made it to the end had more than just talent and luck; they had to be adept with the unwritten rules too.

What was the endpoint? Violeta didn't know.

She looked up and grinned at him. "You're quite clear-headed, planning so far ahead?"

Hayden's expression remained calm. The streetlight's orange glow cast shadows on his high nose, emphasising his handsome features. His attractive appearance made Violeta find it difficult to take her eyes off him.

Five years wasn't long for him. Actually, it was quite fast.

Quinston was the capital, so returning there was extremely difficult.

Beginning in Newham was a starting point. Without family support, his current qualifications might not suffice. Money alone couldn't smooth the path he had to tread.

Five years was merely a goal he set for himself. Whether he could achieve it would depend on luck.

He didn't tell Violeta any of this. Hayden simply said, "How many films can you make in five years?"
