Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 364

'Thank you.'

'You're welcome. Let's meet up this weekend. I'll send you the address later.'

'Okay.'

News spreads quickly in the industry.

Eugene had only contacted Danielle about the matter in the morning, and it rapidly circulated through the industry.

Soon followed by everyone's doubts and ridicule.

"Has Eugene gone mad after all these years in the industry? At such a crucial time for Violeta, he contacts an obscure intern screenwriter instead of reaching out to a top-notch screenwriter. What's the name of this intern screenwriter again?"

"Danielle Wilmore."

"Heh, even an old hand like Eugene can make mistakes."

"Well, you can't say that. What if this is an unexpected move? Violeta could successfully renew her contract with SEVITL if they produce another drama within a year. All of you mocking her might end up with eggs on your faces."

"You make a good point. Let's hope you're not among those with eggs on their faces."

"Hahahahaha."

On the weekend.

In Knightsbridge Private Manor.

Nolan drove quietly, got out of the car, went around to the back to retrieve a box of pre-ordered chess sets, and then rang the doorbell on the iron gate.

The butler, with silver streaks in his black hair, smiled as he approached to open the door.

"Nolan, you're here. Mr. Howell is taking a nap. Should I go wake him up?"

Nolan stepped inside and smiled, "No need. I'll wait for him in the backyard."

As he spoke, Nolan patted the chess set he had brought.

"These are newly purchased top-quality ivory chess pieces. I'll give him a surprise later."

The butler nodded. "Alright, then I'll prepare some tea for you."

He stepped inside the house.

Nolan went to the backyard to watch the fish and drink tea, placing the new chess set on the chess table.

When he was still in school, Nolan often played chess with Wade.

The two were chess friends and could be considered lifelong friends despite their age difference.

After entering the industry, they had less time for each other.

But Nolan would still visit Wade and keep him company whenever he had free time.
