Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 246

Hattie was unable to respond definitively, prompting her to speak to the owner, "Sir, I didn't catch the question clearly earlier. Could you please repeat it?"

Her request resonated with Zelena's side.

The sound reached their ears, signalling that the Bluetooth earphones had reconnected.

Gillian remarked, "Fantastic, they're reconnected. Who was messing around? Connecting to someone else's earphones like that—what's their problem?"

...

Meanwhile, at the gazebo.

The owner inquired, "Didn't you catch that?"

Hattie responded, "I didn't hear it clearly. Could you repeat the question?"

The owner found her troublesome but still repeated the riddle once more.

"What is so fragile that saying its name breaks it?"

The sound reached Zelena's ears, prompting them to swiftly search for the answer.

"Hattie, the answer is silence," said Zelena.

Hattie promptly noted down the answer and submitted it, but unfortunately, she couldn't match Violeta's pace and ended up being too slow.

Kaylee sat beside her, and due to her phone playing music earlier, now that the Bluetooth earphones had disconnected, the music on her phone also stopped automatically.

She was confused.

The Bluetooth disconnection indicated that someone had intentionally disconnected it.

Who could have done it?

What are the nearby Bluetooth devices?

Kaylee's eyes scanned the three individuals at the gazebo, eventually focusing on Hattie's earpiece.

The longer she observed, the stronger Kaylee's suspicion grew that Hattie was indeed wearing Bluetooth earphones.

To confirm, she employed a simple method: attempting to reconnect to the device on Hattie's ears.

With nothing else to occupy her, Kaylee took out her phone and interrupted Zelena's connection once more.

"Beep!"

Then, Kaylee carefully watched Hattie's expression.

Indeed!

As soon as she connected the Bluetooth device, Hattie displayed a momentary pause.

Immediately, Kaylee played a clip from a horror movie dubbed on her phone.

"Boooooooo ... "

Hattie wrinkled her forehead intensely, her pupils widened and swiftly reached to power down her earpiece.

The earpiece was turned off.

On Kaylee's side, the Bluetooth connection was once more disrupted.
