Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 560 Headlines

It was a stroke of luck.

Before Polly's bathroom break, Celeste wasn't in the room.

If Polly left, the room would be empty.

But with the event about to begin, nature called.

As Polly headed out, she remembered Violeta's earlier advice-Zelena was indeed on the guest list.

Although Polly had been skeptical, it wouldn't hurt to try.

So, she activated the recording feature on the plush doll and strategically placed her bag on the small table facing the door.

Polly remained oblivious to the impending disaster even after returning from the restroom.

It wasn't until she saw the diamond necklace fall out of her makeup bag that she felt as though she had plunged into an icy abyss. She had been framed!

Had it not been for Violeta's prior warning, Polly's career and life would have been utterly ruined.

With trembling fingers, Polly extracted the tiny memory card from inside the plush toy.

She exclaimed with a shaking voice, "This recorded everything that happened in the room earlier!

"I also have a backup video on my phone, but I haven't had a chance to check it yet.

"You all accused me of stealing the necklace, calling me a thief?

"Fine, let's see what really happened in the room just now!"
