Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 375 He Took a Beating

Violeta was an artist, and her appearance was her most valuable asset.

It was simple for people to offer kind words.

Violeta said, "Eugene, actually, I—"

Eugene interrupted, "Enough, stop trying to talk me out of this. Beauty, it seems like we can't get Wendy. We'll have to come up with another plan."

Eugene took off his coat and stepped forward.
