Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 378 Who Is Your Mentor?

Wendy never planned to refuse the offer.

When everyone saw James approaching, they all stood up from their seats. "Your Highness!"

Wendy gently bowed. She put her hands together in a respectful gesture.

James raised his hand slightly. He held a drink as he walked over to stand in front of Violeta. "I've got some things to discuss with her privately. You all can leave for now."

Wendy was momentarily stunned and said, "Alright, I won't interrupt then."

The others followed suit and left.

Aster looked at Violeta with a worried expression. Violeta turned her head and patted Aster's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a chat. He's not a match for me in combat anyway."

Since Violeta was still able to joke in such a situation, Aster playfully scolded her, "Ms. White!"

Violeta smiled and urged, "Go on now."

Aster sighed and said, "Alright then. If anything happens, just smash your wine glass as a signal."

Violeta chuckled and said, "Do you think we're in a movie? Smashing a wine glass? Even if he attempts something, there are numerous people present. It's just the two of us, and you're just extra baggage. Won't we be at his mercy?" Aster pouted and reluctantly left.

After Aster left, James placed his glass down and took a seat on the couch. His posture was as calm and composed as ever.

Violeta turned to look at him, then switched to Elic. She asked, "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
