Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 80

"Really? That's amazing."

Even though the props they had prepared beforehand were decent, Liam's props must be superior.

Jasper checked his watch. "We only have two hours left. Let's move quickly!"

Liam nodded and immediately called someone at home to prepare the props. They would pick them up later by car.

Everyone was furious when they discovered the damaged props.

But when they learned that Liam was willing to provide new props, their spirits lifted.

"That's fantastic! With new props, we can rearrange everything."

"Yes! Unity is strength!"

"We have already given feedback to the External Affairs Department. They promised to give us an explanation!"

...

Meanwhile, backstage at the dance club.

The members participating in the show were all applying their makeup.

At this moment, someone rushed in from outside with excitement and said, "Good news! The tennis club's props were destroyed. They most likely won't be able to perform in the show!"

"What? The props were destroyed?"

"Well, they deserve it. They've been so arrogant all this time. It serves them right!"

"Although they deserve it, we have to admit that having the props destroyed at this critical moment messes with their mindset."

"Weren't they preparing an elegant-themed stage design? It's difficult to find such props. Let's see how they handle this."

"It seems like the first place is within our reach."

Zelena, who was sitting in front of the mirror doing her makeup, heard their words and lowered her gaze, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.

Then Zelena glanced at Casey, who was sitting next to her. The two exchanged a glance, and a hint of unspoken satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

Casey turned to Lucy and said, "Lucy, it seems like fate is on our side. The next time we see Violeta, let's see if she can still act arrogantly. We'll make sure that anyone from the tennis club who sees members of our dance club in the future will lower their heads!"

Lucy continued doing her makeup, not as joyful as the others, and said, "I actually want to see how good her ballet skills are."

Compared to the joy of the other members, Lucy truly wanted to see Violeta's dance.

Lucy was also a dancer. Although rankings were important, she was more interested in ballet performances.

Besides, she was confident. She didn't think she would lose to Violeta.

So she hoped that she could surpass Violeta on the stage with her abilities rather than relying on these tricks.

With this in mind, Lucy turned her head and glanced at the members of the dance club. "It wasn't you guys who destroyed the tennis club's props, was it?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook their heads.

"How is that possible? We would never do such a thing."

"Yeah, that wouldn't be appropriate. Besides, we are mortal enemies with the tennis club. If their props were destroyed, they would immediately suspect us. We wouldn't do something like that."

"Lucy, you're right. They must be suspecting us now!"

Lucy was speechless.

Given the dynamics between the tennis club and the dance club, they must have suspicions.

Since it wasn't done by dance club members, Lucy felt relieved and turned her head to continue applying makeup.

However, she didn't notice the frozen expressions of Casey and Zelena beside her.

…

An hour passed.

The new props finally arrived.
