Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 268

Niall figured out what Violeta was thinking and stepped forward to pat her shoulder, saying, "Vio, don't overthink it. Focus on recovering from your injuries first."

"I know, Bro."

Nolan went ahead to sort out the paperwork.

Hayden quietly left the room and called to check on the situation at Zoren's side.

...

Inside the ski resort, Zoren and others waited in the infirmary for nearly forty minutes until a woman in a fur coat finally arrived.

After meeting this woman, Zoren realized that the nanny's arrogance was actually tolerable.

Compared to the nanny, this woman's attitude was even more brazen. Her nose jutted at an unnatural angle, and her facial features were typical of someone who had undergone cosmetic surgery. Clad in a mink coat, she gave off the impression of being the mistress of some newly wealthy businessman.

She had barely stepped into the infirmary when she yelled with a hoarse voice, "Who's trying to extort my son? Of all days, you caused trouble for me on New Year's Day. I won't let this slide easily!"

The ski resort staff explained the whole situation to her.

Surprisingly, her attitude remained just as arrogant after hearing the explanation.

"Oh, so I'm supposed to be grateful to that woman? Haha, what a joke. She's fortunate she avoided my son. Otherwise, I'd have sued her until she lost everything!"

Observing from the side, Jasper was fed up with her behavior and gave her a head-to-toe scan.

"Hey, lady, it's not your fault for lacking common sense, but it's inappropriate to make people uncomfortable with your ignorance. Your moral compass seems as twisted as your nose. Listen, this isn't about you holding us accoutable anymore. We're going to sue you!"

"You made a really good point earlier. We would sue you until you lost everything."

The woman instantly erupted in fury upon hearing Jasper's words.

"Who are you calling ignorant? Are you out of your mind?"

Her nanny fueled the situation by saying, "Ma'am, they were so arrogant earlier that they forcefully detained me and Mr. Alex. I wanted to protect Mr. Alex and get him out of there, but they were too aggressive, so I couldn't get away."

The woman immediately took out her phone and threatened, "So you think you can bully me, huh? Just you wait! I know the management here."

Zoren put out his cigarette and turned to look at her.

I'm curious to find out who exactly she knows in the management team.

The woman summoned the ski resort's patrol team captain to the infirmary with a phone call. She also notified the police before Zoren's group, claiming someone was extorting her.

When the patrol team captain arrived at the infirmary, he was bewildered by the crowd present. Even though he was unsure of what had occurred, seeing Zoren and the others gave him a sinking feeling.

These people are big shots who have just arrived at the ski resort today. I heard that one of them is actually the resort's owner. Could the injured woman who was taken away in the car be connected to this?

The woman said with an air of superiority, "Luke, these people have offended me. Put them on the blacklist, and don't sell them tickets to me ever again!"
