Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 262 A Visit to the Frost Family

Violeta glanced at the website and readily agreed.

"Sure."

"Wow!"

Zoren was surprised. "Why did you agree so easily? I thought you wouldn't."

Violeta replied, "It's for helping stray animals. Why would I disagree?"

Zoren asked, "Aren't you worried I might be tricking you?"

Violeta looked at the website name again and smiled. "Not at all."

The website was called Loving Home.

Violeta had a deep impression of this site. In a few years, it would become the largest animal protection organization in the country.

In her previous life, Violeta had volunteered for a day with this organization, helping them catch stray cats for spaying.

She hadn't expected Zoren, who usually seemed unreliable, to be involved in such a good cause.

"Did you start this website?"

"No, some members of my club did. I'm just helping them get some sponsorship."

Violeta's eyes sparkled. "But I can't just give you the money for nothing. I want to be a shareholder."

Zoren responded, "Sure, but you'll need to contribute more. I'll get them to give you a 20% share. But remember, it's a charity, so there might be no profit. Don't regret it later." "I won't regret it. I'll chip in $70,000. Just wait a moment."

Violeta left the room and returned shortly with a handful of gifts, unwrapping them one by one.

Zoren asked, "Where did you get these? How do you have so many?"

Violeta replied, "I took my brother's gifts too. He doesn't need them anyway."

With Niall's gifts included, the total value surpassed $70,000.

Violeta handed everything to Zoren.

Seeing Violeta's generosity, Zoren reiterated, "Just to remind you, this is a non-profit. You won't make money."

"I won't regret it."

Charities typically don't make money.

But Violeta knew Loving Home would, and quite a lot.

In a few years, Loving Home would expand into a pet food company, becoming well-known across the country.

A charity transitioning into a pet food business, using every sale to support its cause, would naturally attract pet lovers willing to spend money.

Violeta decided to take a chance, expecting significant returns in a few years.

At this point, Zoren had no idea how big Loving Home would become.

On the third day of the New Year, they visited the Frost family.

The butler was waiting at the door, greeting them and taking their gifts.

Zoren had arrived earlier and was sitting in the living room, eating snacks.

"Anton, Irene, Vio, you're finally here. Niall..."

Besides Zoren, Hayden was also there, wearing a black casual down jacket, looking clean and neat.

When he saw them, Hayden stood up and politely greeted Anton and Irene, then instructed the servants to serve tea.

Anton, who always had a good impression of Hayden, eagerly started chatting as soon as they sat down.

Just then, Glen walked in with a tray of shelled nuts.

"Hi, Anton!"

Hearing this, Anton stood up, smiling. "Glen, I was wondering where you went. Turns out you were shelling nuts?" Niall greeted Glen, "Hi, Glen."

Glen walked over, patted Anton's shoulder, then turned his attention to Violeta.

"Hi, Glen."

This was Violeta's first time meeting Hayden's father.

Glen was exactly as Violeta had imagined, exuding a strong sense of righteousness.

Hayden had inherited Glen's features, making their presence quite similar.

Glen smiled at Violeta, "Anton, is this your youngest daughter?"

"Yes, didn't you meet her when Hade brought her over last time?"

"No, I was at a conference in another province then."

Glen beckoned to Violeta, "Hello, girl, come over."

A servant brought two gifts, and

Glen handed one to Violeta and thet

Niall. "This is our

els

3ing, so here's a big giftve

you."

Violeta accepted it with thanks.

"Thank you, Glen."

Irene adjusted her sleeves and asked, "Where's Frida?"

Hayden's mother, Frida Moller, had been a remarkable translator and now worked in the Foreign Affairs Office.

Glen patted Violeta's arm, then

turned to drene. "She went to the

station to pick someone up. She'll be

back soon. Everyone, please sit

down. Oh, I heard Elle's back is that

right?"

The group settled in the living room. Anton and Glen chatted while

snacking, and Irene occasionally joined the conversation.

Content

Soon, the Weekley, Ridge, and Cohen families arrived.

The living room became bustling with people.

It was Violeta's first time meeting many of them, and she greeted each one politely.
