Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 202

Jeremy's face looked grim.

But Natalie, oblivious, kept shouting, "Jeremy, teach them a lesson! They're already dead meat and still mouthing off!"

Jeremy remained silent.

He decided not to act hastily before understanding the situation. He didn't want to mess with someone important and invite trouble they couldn't handle.

Jeremy subtly glanced at his subordinates.

Then he told Natalie, "Ms. Natalie, I know you're upset, but let's not rush."

"This is a law-abiding society. You can't just say anything you want. What happened earlier might have been a misunderstanding. Regardless, you wrecked our place and broke a lot of furniture. Shouldn't you compensate us first?"

Violeta glanced at the mess around her.

She didn't expect Jeremy to be as steady as she remembered from the previous life, especially considering they had shared meals on set.

Violeta didn't want to make a big deal out of this.

She said, "These few chairs and tables aren't worth much. Who knows what might have happened if we hadn't resisted just now. Ms. Natalie has quite a fiery temper—she tries to strike up a conversation, fails, and then wants to pin people down here. She even tried to force us to drink a few bottles of liquor. We wrecked your place, so consider this settling the score. Let's go, guys."

Zoren is puzzled. "Huh? Just like that??"

Jasper and Liam looked at Hayden, who remained expressionless and did not say a word.

Hayden didn't speak up, and they didn't know what to do, but he seemed to tacitly agree with what Violeta said.

Actually, it would have been ideal to wrap things up there, as Violeta showed them respect because of her relationship with Jeremy in her previous life.

But unexpectedly ...

Natalie pressed on, asking, "Do you really think you can just walk away? That's too simple! If you leave now, what will happen to the reputation of our biker gang? Will anyone be able to challenge my turf in the future?"

Violeta was puzzled.

Natalie continued, "They all ride motorcycles, so punish them according to the rules. That's the only way this can be settled."

Zoren couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, you really don't know your place."

Jeremy remained silent.

Natalie turned to him and said, "Jeremy, say something!"

His subordinate had just secretly taken their photo and investigated them. By now, they had the results and murmured a few words in Jeremy's ear.

Upon hearing this, Jeremy's complexion paled. He quickly exclaimed, "Ms. Natalie! No, we mustn't offend them."

Natalie was shocked. "What?"

They can't be offended. In reality, they have already been offended.

It's too late to say that now.

Previously, when Violeta said this matter should end here, Natalie wouldn't let it go. Now, it's not something they can stop just by shouting to end it.
