Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 707 Hairband

Jasper looked at the man and asked, "Why not introduce me to someone?"

The man chuckled and replied, "Oh, please, no one on my list is good enough for you." Zoren joined in, teasing, "Tired of the usual? Going for something more low-key now?" Jasper grinned. "It doesn't matter if they're flashy or simple. I'm staying single for a while."

Liam couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, alright," Zoren said, waving it off.

Mandy stood nearby, quietly listening to their playful chatter.

Even though Jasper made it seem like a joke, who really knew what he thought deep down?

His words were just for amusement.

She was just an observer, knowing her place and staying within her boundaries.

After the dinner, Mandy cleaned up the private room. While tidying up, she noticed something wedged between the couch cushions-a light violet hairband. She picked it up and examined it closely. It looked expensive, and was probably made of real silk.

As she studied it, a sense of familiarity washed over her.

After thinking for a moment, she realized she had seen a girl in a photo with Jasper on Instagram, wearing the same hairband tied in a ponytail.

It was exactly where Jasper had been sitting earlier.

Clearly, the hairband had fallen from his pocket.
