Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 144

If Niall had not shared that information, Violeta would have remained clueless about the intriguing backstory of the island Hattie had been flaunting.

The island held considerable value, and at a 60% discount, it was a real bargain.

That explained why Hannah snapped it up—she was seizing a good deal.

However, getting something cheap does not always mean getting something of quality.

Violeta mentioned with a blink, "Actually, one of my classmates is on that island."

"You mean Hattie, right?" Zoren interjected.

Violeta nodded. "Yes, before summer break started, Hattie bragged in class about her mom buying an island where they planned to spend their vacation. She's probably there now.

The yacht's sheer size and facilities made the tour quite lengthy.

After exploring, the group relaxed on the sun loungers on the deck, basking in the sun's warmth.

Meanwhile, on a nearby island, Hattie spotted the enormous yacht approaching. The Dawn was so large that it was clearly visible without the need for binoculars.

"What's with that massive yacht over there? Is it a yacht or a cruise ship?" Hattie exclaimed, sitting up from her sun lounger and pointing towards the Dawn in amazement.

A servant nearby respectfully informed her, "Miss, that's the Dawn, Mr. White's private yacht from the neighbouring island."

Hattie, puzzled, asked, "Mr. White? Which Mr. White?"

She did not know who resided on the adjacent island, only that it was inhabited by famously wealthy individuals.

After a moment of contemplation, the servant clarified, "It's Mr. Niall White. He's known for his work in the oil sector."

At the mention of the name, Hattie suddenly remembered.
