Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 151

Niall remarked, "It's not just that. There might be flooding, but the bigger issue is the island next door. Their foundation isn't stable, and a tsunami could cause it to collapse."

Liam, sitting on the sofa nearby, frowned at this.

Zoren walked over and placed a reassuring hand on Liam's shoulder. "Your sister and brother are still there."

Liam didn't respond.

Violeta put the cake on the table, sat on the carpet with her legs crossed, and said, "If that island collapses, they're in big trouble. Aren't you going to help, Liam?"

Liam knew he couldn't avoid helping, even if he didn't want to.

Hattie and Benson were part of the Ridge family, even though they were born out of wedlock. They had been accepted back into the family, and his grandfather subtly recognised them. If something went wrong and it came to light that Liam was there but didn't assist, his grandfather would be angry.

Additionally, Liam worried about the backlash if they survived and decided to go against him. Explaining his actions would be tough.

The more he pondered it, the more anxious Liam became.

"We'll talk about it once it collapses. When their time comes, no one can stop it.

"It's all up to destiny."

The lounge had various board games and a pool table.

The staff brought in a bottle of red wine and some glasses.

As Violeta enjoyed her cake, they started a game of pool, and Niall was busy on his phone.

Violeta, still nibbling on her cake, explored the area and found an esports room behind the lounge.

She looked at Niall and asked, "Can we use this esports room, Niall? It's likely pouring outside, and the internet cafes might be shut."

Niall, covering the phone, responded, "Yeah, we have internet here."

When they were setting up the island's wireless network, they took the island's weather into account and made special adjustments.

Unless a tsunami hit and flooded the island, the internet would remain stable.

Violeta checked out the esports room and noticed the impressive setup.

The equipment is top-notch, with large monitors with a cool, futuristic vibe.

Considering them playing pool outside, Violeta decided to just pull up a chair and play inside.

She opened up the computer and started browsing.

There were plenty of popular games, but "MLSS" caught Violeta's eye.

During middle school, Violeta, like any other teenager, enjoyed playing games.

But later on, she aimed to get into Toland University, so she gave up gaming and concentrated on studying hard.

Finally, she was admitted to Toland University with top-notch grades. She had planned to make up for lost game time after getting into Toland University.

However, little did she know that before she even started university, Zelena would come back.
