Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 517 Seduction

Eugene glanced at Violeta, thinking that perhaps she might have a different ending than Lydia.

After all, everyone has their own fate, and Eugene wasn't in a position to say otherwise.

"Alright, if you think he's reliable, then go ahead. I'll handle the party."

Violeta simply nodded and said, "Okay."

The party's day arrived on the weekend.

Mason made an appearance. As expected, many celebrities flocked to toast him.

Among them were Tracy and Evelina, both eager to gain some favor from Mason. However, Mason maintained a strict policy: he refused any drinks but accepted all the well wishes.

It wouldn't have looked good for him to blatantly refuse-who would fall for that? Mason made the excuse that he was feeling under the weather and had taken medication that didn't mix well with alcohol.

After making his rounds and feigning dizziness, Mason excused himself to rest upstairs and made a quick exit from the event.

Meanwhile, Eugene was chatting over drinks with Lance.

Earlier, he had noticed Tracy and Evelina approaching Mason with drinks in hand.
