Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 577 Facade of Fools

Hattie was already feeling upset, and when she heard that Amber had come to Icroln, her mood worsened. She had no intention of hiding her displeasure and vented her frustration openly to Harvey. "That old h*g has never liked me. Of all times, she chooses now to come! She's just here to make my life miserable!"

When Harvey heard that Amber had arrived, he quickly saw an opportunity. What better chance to meet the family?

He immediately suggested joining Hattie to meet Amber that evening.

"Hattie, don't worry. I'll go with you to see her. She won't give you a hard time."

Hattie looked at him skeptically. "You want to come with me? Ugh, this is such a headache. She'll probably give you the cold shoulder too. Every time she sees me, she acts like I owe her a fortune." "Why would she do that? Trust me, Hattie, she won't treat me that way. After all, I'm not exactly a nobody."

Harvey's words made Hattie think.

Right, Harvey had international connections. If she brought him along to meet Amber, Amber might be more cautious about how she treated her. She'd have to take Harvey into account. "Alright, Harvey, you can come with me tonight."

Harvey smiled with satisfaction, wrapping an arm around Hattie's shoulder. "Hattie, trust me. I'll take good care of you. I love you so much."

That evening, Amber waited for Hattie to arrive.

When Hattie showed up with Harvey, Amber's eyes quickly sized him up.

Violeta's words echoed in her mind-Harvey might have foreign connections, but his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
