Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 68

Soon, it was time to go to the Millennium Grand Theater to watch the play.

"The Magpie Feast" was scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

There was a long queue at the entrance, consisting of all the audience members who had managed to secure tickets online using their phones.

Yesterday, Irene had already informed Violeta that they could just come in as there would be someone delivering the insider tickets to them.

Therefore, they did not need to collect tickets. They could go directly to their seats in the theater lobby and wait for the show to begin.

Kaylee arrived at the theater and cautiously peered inside the lobby.

"Vio!"

Violeta was sitting with Hayden and others as they waited for the show to begin. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw Kaylee at the entrance.

"Kay, come over here."

"Sorry, sorry, I left a bit late. I thought I was running late."

"It's all right, there's still twenty minutes before the show starts. I bought you a cup of hot cocoa."

Kaylee hurried over and greeted Hayden and the others, "Hello, everyone."

Jasper smiled. "We've all been waiting for you."

Zoren said, "Hello, Kaylee."

Liam glanced at Kaylee indifferently. Like Hayden, he did not say anything.

Today, Violeta noticed that Liam was unusually quiet. Although Hayden was usually the one who spoke the least, Liam's silence today seemed to surpass even Hayden's.

Violeta smiled, "Liam, are you not in a good mood today?"

Zoren lightly kicked her under the table. "Vio, don't try to start a conversation out of nothing."

Violeta blinked and sensed that something significant was about to happen.

"What happened?"

Jasper smirked and leaned back into the chair. He said slowly, "Something big is about to happen in his family."

"Oh?" No one wanted to bring up Liam's family affairs.

However, since Violeta was curious, they decided to tell her.

"Last week, a pair of twins came out of nowhere to claim their inheritance in the Ridge family.

"They're the consequences of Liam's father's love affairs in his youth. Now, his family is in chaos. These twins will probably be enrolled in Toland University as transfer students. They might even get transferred to the performing arts class."

Zoren mocked, "Lee hasn't been in a good mood these days. Who can accept someone suddenly appearing and stealing the spotlight from them? Hahaha!"

Violeta and Kaylee were shocked. "Huh?"

Hayden glanced at Violeta coldly and added, "The mother of these twins is none other than the famous actress Hannah Leid from Harbor City."

Violeta and Kaylee's mouths dropped open in disbelief.

"Huh?"

"Hannah Leid?"

It was not uncommon for a prominent family to have illegitimate children.

However, Liam had been the sole heir of his family for twenty-one years, and suddenly, a pair of twins appeared to challenge his inheritance. This went beyond just a mind game.

Kaylee looked excited, "You mean the supporting actress Hannah Leid in the old movies? Oh my goodness, that's a lot of information."

Liam glanced at Zoren, who was laughing happily.

"Are you done? You're acting like a dog."

Zoren composed himself and said, "All right, all right, I'll stop laughing. Don't worry, Lee, if those brats dare to do anything, we'll teach them a lesson for you."

Jasper nodded. "We can forgive the girl but not the boy!"
