Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 415 Just Kidding

Although Hayden seemed only slightly older than Violeta, he carried an air of quiet authority that suggested he was a man of promise.

Felix cast a brief glance at him before looking away.

After dropping everyone off at Liberty Grove, Felix anticipated that Violeta might ask Hayden to stay over, which made him feel uneasy. Rather than voice his concerns directly to Violeta, he watched her and Hayden enter before pulling out his phone to call Eugene. Eugene, upon hearing the situation, quickly called Violeta.

As Violeta had just arrived at the estate, she answered Eugene's call. "Hello, Eugene."

Eugene's voice held a note of concern. "Hello, Beauty. You're back?"

Violeta responded, "Yes, I've just arrived at the estate."

Eugene continued, "Felix mentioned that there's a man with you. At this point, you need to be cautious-make sure he doesn't get photographed."

Violeta paused, understanding Eugene's apprehension. "Eugene, he's just someone who had too much to drink and couldn't drive home alone."

Eugene replied sharply, "That's even more reason to be careful. Some men lose all sense of decorum when they're drunk."

Violeta reassured him, "He's also a resident of Liberty Grove."

Eugene sounded surprised. "Oh? A resident of Liberty Grove?"

Violeta added, "Don't worry. He's not coming to my flat. We live in separate buildings."

Eugene sighed in relief. "Ah, I see. That's alright, then. It's getting late, so make sure to get some rest."

The call ended.
