Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 508

Jasper would undoubtedly inherit the company.

He naturally acted with a sense of entitlement because his family favored him.

From the moment Jasper stepped into the office, he had already secured the top spot.

Moreover, Apex was only one of the Weekley Group's subsidiaries.

The Weekley Group was active in a variety of other entertainment industries. Such an extensive empire was the backbone that supported his extravagant lifestyle in Wiltonshire.

As the waiter wheeled in the cart with their food, the five of them raised their glasses. Violeta couldn't help but sigh; time really flew by.

The last time they had fondue together, Violeta was reminded of when they first met and sharing broth together.

She did the math—almost ten years had passed.

Violeta still remembered the last dinner they had together after graduation, where they had raised their glasses in celebration.

"To a bright future!"

"To climbing the ranks quickly!"

Five glasses clinked together gently.

"To success in everything!"

"To soaring achievements!"

"To steady progress!"

Violeta added with a smile, "Lasting friendship!"

Hayden glanced at Violeta, then at the others. He said, "May all your dreams come true."

That evening, Violeta was the only one who didn't drink.

The rest had drunk quite a bit. Though Hayden drunk less, he still indulged.

Violeta was the only one sober. She called drivers to take each of them home. Then she put on her face mask and hat and helped Hayden leave.
