Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 638

Shania was stunned.

Violeta pressed on, "You can't provide any proof? That suggests exercise was just a cover for you. Officers, you recognize me as an artist, right? I have reasonable grounds to suspect she unlawfully accessed my space to spy. I insist we search her bag immediately."

Even without her request, the search was inevitable.

Previously, Shania had been caught at Liberty Grove. And this time, she had no plausible explanation.

She clung to her bag fiercely and refused to show it to the police. Her loud protests made Violeta worry about causing a disturbance, so she signaled Hilary.

Hilary moved in as if to slap Shania, but just to intimidate her.

As Shania raised her hands to shield her face, Hilary swiftly grabbed the bag.

Handing it over to the police, they found an array of equipment inside, including power banks and a pinhole camera.

The evidence was clear, leaving Shania no way to defend herself.

"You were here to spy! Come with us!"

Thus, Shania's scheme unraveled before it could even start.

The police took her away. This time, she was certain to end up with a criminal record.

Violeta's night was anything but dull.

Meanwhile, a conspiracy happened at the hotel.

The next morning, Zelena was stunned when she saw the photos she received.

"You've made a mistake!"

She was furious on the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed puzzled. "What?"

Zelena snapped, "I asked you to find Violeta, not Ophelia! Are you all blind? Can't you differentiate between them? Did you not check her photos online before?"

The man replied, "We followed the room number you provided. We didn't verify the identity. Besides, the room was dark, and we couldn't see clearly. Anyway, the job is done, and you need to pay us. Or, well, you know how it goes—we're professionals."

Zelena was fuming, feeling as if something was stuck in her throat. She was so angry she could hardly contain herself!
