Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 625

"I understand. Keep an eye on things, and if anything else comes up, let me know."

"Will do."

After hanging up, Violeta immediately called Hayden.

If her suspicions were correct, Evelina's assistant had been watching the entrance of Liberty Grove to track Hayden's car.

This could mean that their relationship had already been leaked.

Back when Hayden visited her on the The Golden Age set, it was possible that someone had taken note of his car without them realizing.

This might be the perfect opportunity to make their relationship public.

However, they couldn't let Evelina take the lead. Hayden was a public official, one wrong move could easily lead to negative consequences.

Violeta shared her thoughts with Hayden, and they both recognized this as a good chance to go public with their relationship.

But it needed to be on their terms, not someone else's.

Violeta suggested, "Maybe we could leak some small details to the paparazzi ourselves, just to ease people into it. That way, when we officially announce it, it won't be too much of a shock."

"Leak it ourselves?" Hayden mused.

But he had a different idea.

"Vio, it's better to let them discover it on their own rather than handing it to them."

"Let them discover it? What are you thinking?"

"Leave it to me. Focus on your work."

"Alright, but don't go overboard," Violeta added, a hint of concern in her voice.

But as soon as she said it, she realized it wasn't necessary. Hayden was reliable. He was the only person she trusted.

A few days later, Hayden returned from his business trip to Newham.

However, he had already arranged for his driver to take the Audi back to the Frost Residence while he took a different vehicle to Liberty Grove.

This meant that Shania would never spot the Audi A8.

On Thursday, the Ministry of Defence and the Public Security were set to hold a joint press conference, during which Hayden would appear in front of the nation.

This was the perfect opportunity.

On the solid wood desk behind him lay the King Alcott pen.

Many people had been trying to unmask Frosty's identity.

They were eager to uncover who he really was.

Now, he had dropped another hint. If anyone was sharp enough, they might just follow the trail to the bait.

Thursday's press conference arrived.

Hayden attended the event in a formal suit.

In the left breast pocket of his suit, the green cap of a pen peeked out. It was enough for those in the know to recognize it as the Montblanc's King Alcott pen.

Since Hayden had appeared on Elaine's news show for an interview, his good looks had made waves on Twitter, sparking widespread discussion.

So, this time, the press conference by the Ministry of Public Security drew many young viewers who wouldn't typically be interested in such news. They were there just to see Hayden.

As soon as Hayden appeared on camera, Twitter was abuzz with analysis.

"Can anyone tell me what pen Hayden's got in his pocket? The pen cap looks so cool! I need one just like it!"
