Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 688 Sound System Sabotage

"Aster, go find out what happened earlier," Violeta instructed.

"Okay, I'll check right away."

Aster left the room to investigate while Violeta's makeup artist came in to help her remove her makeup.

When the makeup and hair were done, Aster returned with the information.

"Ms. White, they said it was a problem with the sound system wiring."

"That coincidental?" Violeta raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I thought so too. Oh, by the way, when I was asking around, I saw Mr. Weekley."

It was typical for someone with an invitation to attend the awards ceremony. Still, Jasper, the CEO of Apex, didn't need one-he could come and go as he pleased.

Aster mentioned seeing Jasper talking to the event organizers.

From the looks of it, he was investigating the situation, but that was beyond Aster's ability to get involved. She asked a few staff members and received a standard answer before returning. Violeta had a gut feeling this wasn't just a coincidence. But whether it was intentional or not, she'd need solid evidence to prove it.

"Forget it. It's time to go. We'll find a time to invite Jasper for dinner as a thank you," Violeta said, letting it go for now.

"Got it."
