Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 158

What factors can cause the soil structure underground to become loose?

Before we built the wine cellar on the basement level, we had to apply a very tight waterproof coating.

The soil structure outside might have loosened if water can still seep in. A waterproof coating can temporarily prevent water, but not forever. It's been several years since the island was renovated. Could it be time for a reevaluation?

Benson felt that something was amiss and quickly went upstairs to investigate what was happening.

Hattie stood on the steps with a look of disdain.

She hadn't yet realised the seriousness of the situation and instructed the servants, "Hurry up! These wines are costly!"

Previously, Hannah often hosted guests from the circle on this island. The wines stored here are worth at least thousands of dollars, approaching millions.

After speaking, Hattie also turned and went upstairs.

It was early morning, and her mood was as bad as this weather.

After being on the island for over a month, it's really annoying that the heavy rain decides to start now.

Encountering Violeta is never a good sign.

What a streak of bad luck!

With no servants to prepare breakfast, Hattie had to make do with some bread and milk she found in the refrigerator.

Then she sat on the sofa and browsed the internet on her phone.

Benson investigated upstairs, first looking into the previous situation on the island and then calling Hannah to verify.

Unfortunately, Hannah had already started filming and didn't answer the phone.

Benson wasn't a geography expert, but his intuition told him this island should be fine without such issues. There must be something wrong somewhere.

Could they not have done it properly during the previous renovation?

But even if it was a matter of incomplete renovation, it shouldn't result in water leakage ...

Benson glanced at the heavy rain outside, and a bad feeling crept over him. If it's already leaking now, what will happen to this island if the downpour continues?

They didn't have a yacht like the Dawn to escape the island!

Benson came downstairs, and when Hattie saw him, she asked in a relaxed tone, "Benson, what's going on? Did you find out why there's a leak?"

Benson pursed his lips. "Hattie, could you check the weather forecast? How long is this heavy rain expected to last?"

Hattie replied, "Okay."

She quickly checked on her phone. "It's going to continue for another week."

"Another week?"

Benson's heart sank at once.

Hattie sensed something was wrong with Benson's tone and hurriedly asked, "Benson, what's wrong?"
