Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 592 Violeta's Debut Movie

After Hattie and Harvey publicly announced their relationship in such a high-profile way, Carl tried to investigate Harvey.

But Amber intercepted the investigation before it could be completed.

She used her status as the matriarch to bury the original investigation and even swapped it out with a fake report.

The initial report showed that Harvey's company abroad was in serious trouble, almost bankrupt, and likely to be auctioned off by the bank-he was basically a broke man. Amber changed the details.

In the revised version, Harvey was still described as an international businessman, but just an ordinary one, nowhere near rich enough to be a suitable match for the Ridges's status. Because of that, Carl was dissatisfied with Harvey.

He believed that Harvey was far too ordinary and did not meet the standards for a son-in-law of the Ridges.

To make matters worse, Hattie had set her sights on him and publicly announced their relationship.

Carl grew increasingly frustrated with Hattie, criticizing her poor judgment in choosing a husband, her poor academic performance, and her mediocre success in the entertainment industry despite years of effort. He was getting more and more fed up with her.

But Hattie was his daughter and times had changed, so he was in a tough spot. She'd already announced their relationship online without asking him first. If he pushed them to break up, it would make him look bad and embarrass him even more.

After all, she was an illegitimate daughter, not raised under his direct guidance from a young age, so it was no surprise she had a narrow view.

The tree had grown crooked, no matter how much you pruned it later, it wouldn't change much. So Carl decided to just turn a blind eye.

Carl didn't openly express his dissatisfaction, so Hannah was unsure of his true feelings about Harvey and thought Carl was satisfied with Harvey.
