Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 549

The production of The Golden Age had moved to Jasonville.

Violeta was the mastermind behind the scenes, coordinating everything from a distance.

Under her guidance, Eugene brought Harvey into the circle.

Harvey was a sophisticated con artist, adept at blending in.

Eugene presented him to his contacts in Harbor City, and Harvey's facade as a wealthy foreign investor allowed him to smoothly enter the city's entertainment world.

In Harbor City, space was limited, and local entertainers typically earned less compared to those in the domestic industry.

Harvey knew that he had to spend money to make money, so he was generous and spent lavishly.

In this world, money talks.

So, he quickly made a name for himself.

It became common knowledge that a wealthy foreign investor had recently returned and was frequently hosting extravagant yacht parties along the waterfront.

Hannah, renowned for her social acumen in Harbor City, heard about Harvey's reputation through mutual acquaintances. Curious, she decided to attend one of his yacht parties.

Though she had not yet met Harvey personally, Hannah was impressed by the glowing reviews from her friends.

To her, Harvey seemed like the perfect catch—a wealthy, distinguished bachelor who would be an ideal match for her daughter, Hattie.

She was eager to see if he lived up to his reputation.

When Hannah met Harvey at the party, her approval only grew.

Harvey had crafted his public image with skill; he was handsome, sophisticated, and the epitome of charm as the host of the event.

Captivated, Hannah approached him with a glass of wine.

Harvey had intentionally cast a wide net to attract someone like Hannah. He welcomed her flattery and enjoyed their conversation throughout the evening.

Despite Hannah's extensive experience with people, Harvey's charm was overwhelming in his own environment, and she had no reason to question him. She even cheerfully inquired, "Mr. Webb, how old are you this year?"

Harvey smiled and answered, "I'm twenty-nine and still single. I've heard that the women in Harbor City are all cultured and elegant, so I must admit, my visit has a purpose. Haha. I'm hoping to find someone special here."

Hannah's heart skipped a beat at his words.
