Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 574

Because they were rivals in love—and because of Zelena's jealousy.

Now that things had blown up, Zelena was getting what she deserved, hoisted by her own petard.

Hattie couldn't wait to see how Zelena would manage to clean up this mess!

The thought of Zelena's downfall filled Hattie with satisfaction.

This wretched woman was finally getting the ending she deserved.

Zelena replied, "You're not very welcoming, are you? I came all the way here just to visit you."

Hattie crossed her arms. "Ha, others might not know you, but I do. Cut the act and tell me what you're really after."

"I'm here to—"
