Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 3

"Ms. Violeta, didn't you make the phone call just now?"

"I did." Violeta nodded. She glanced at the nearby luxury car and asked doubtfully, "It can't be..."-

"Well, there's no mistake then. Please get into the car." After that, the bodyguard didn't say anything else. He picked Violeta up and carried her into the car while she still felt bewildered!

Violeta was utterly stunned! Hold on. Are bodyguards so intimidating these days?! This isn't some kind of freaking human trafficking scheme, is it?! What are the chances of a Rolls-Royce being used for abduction?!

"What on earth is going on?" Violeta asked.

"Ms. Violeta, you'll find out when we arrive."

Wow, he's really being mysterious.

Before long, the Rolls-Royce arrived at a mansion. Step ping out of the car, Violeta was so astonished she couldn't utter a word as she looked at the building before her.

The bodyguard gestured. "This way."

The mansion's gates opened, and servants lined up in two rows to welcome her.

Violeta walked into the mansion that was luxuriously decorated with antique furnishings everywhere... Is this really an impoverished family? This is not quite what I imagined. Have I made a mistake?

Just then, an elderly lady with gray hair rushed down. She was wearing a gray coat and using a walking stick. She came up to Violeta excitedly. The rims of her eyes were red as she asked, "Are you the girl who made the call!?"

Violeta replied, "Yes, I am, but a man answered when I called. What's going on..." Before she could figure out what was happening, the medical team rushed out from the side and quickly set down a medical kit. They immediately drew blood from Violeta for a DNA test. Violeta was shocked by this sudden turn of events!

"Come, my dear. Let's sit down and talk." The elderly lady held Violeta's hand and sat down on the sofa. "What's your name, my dear?"

"Violeta Blake."

The elderly lady repeated it and nodded. "How did you find out you're a part of our family?"

"To be honest, I'm not really sure. This isn't what I imagined, either. The person who gave me the information said that my family is penniless. She told me my dad is a compulsive gambler, my mom is a malicious woman, and my brother is a notorious bachelor."

"A compulsive gambler, a malicious woman, and a notorious bachelor? Haha..." The old lady laughed. "No one has ever described the White family like this before!"

The medical team next to them quickly conducted a DNA test with Violeta's blood, and the results were displayed on the machine, showing a 99.99% match. The doctor exclaimed, "Madam! We’ve gotten the result! She's a White!"

"What?! Is that true?!" The old lady stood excitedly from the sofa and grabbed Violeta's hand. She was overcome with emotion and rendered momentarily speechless. "Vio! You're back! I finally have you back! Thank heavens! This is wonderful!"

"You're not a Blake! You're a White! You're Violeta White!"

"Violeta White?" Violeta felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of her last name. But since she had found her biological family, it was reasonable to change her last name. "What on earth is going on?"
