Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 578 Hattie Announces Engagement

She was deceived, yet she still had the nerve to show off her love?

Did they even know what love was?

Does the girl Hannah gave birth to, even deserve love?

As they left the hotel, Hattie vented her anger in the car.

"She did that on purpose. She thinks I'm not good enough for you. She thinks you'll never marry me."

Harvey gently put his arm around Hattie's shoulder and said, "Hattie, that's not true. Wasn't your mother just fine before?"

Hattie snapped, "Don't call her my mother! She's just an old h*g. My mom is Hannah! She looks down on me. Harvey, we're going to get married, right?" Married?

Harvey was all for it!

"Of course, I'm definitely going to marry you."

Hearing Harvey's firm words, Hattie felt much more at ease.

But it didn't take long for her to get restless again.

They might have dealt with the old h*g, but there was still the Zelena mess to handle!

Zelena only gave her a day, but Hattie still hadn't come up with a plan to distract from all the attention Zelena was getting.

She grabbed her phone and dialed Hannah to ask for her advice.

But just as the call went through, a lightbulb went off in Hattie's head-she'd just thought of the perfect way to steal the spotlight! That d*mn old h*g thinks Harvey won't marry me, right?

Well, what if we suddenly announced our engagement? That would be the hottest news on the internet!

And it'd be the perfect way to put that old h*g in her place!

Hattie's smile widened as she hung up the phone. "This is great! I've got an idea!"

At that moment, Hattie thought she had come up with a brilliant plan.

Little did she know, it was actually a trap set up by Violeta and Amber, just waiting for her to fall into it.

The next morning, an unexpected trendy search suddenly took over the top of the charts.

"Hattie Announces Engagement."

As a popular star in the spotlight with millions of fans, Hattie was at the peak of her fame.

And now she's even working with Nolan on a movie called The Silent Whisper.

As soon as this news broke, it completely overshadowed the story about Zelena's assistant supposedly stealing jewelry.

This was way bigger news-way more explosive than the whole assistant theft scandal!

Hattie's Twitter post showed off her and Harvey's photos together, plus their couple's rings.

The fans were going wild in the comments section.

"Whoa, seriously?"

"What's happening? You just announced this out of the blue?"

"Is this guy not from the industry? When did this happen? Ahhhh!"

Hattie's engagement announcement caused a big stir, but it also made her lose some fans.

A few of her career-focused followers were disappointed.

"Seriously you're at the peak of your career and you announce your engagement? It's like you don't about your work. Unfollowing, bye."

"Such a love-struck mentality. So speechless..."

"Getting engaged so young when you have so much potential? Not sure what to say. Guess I can only wish you happiness. Goodbye."

"She didn't really have any big hits to start with. She just started gaining some popularity with Firelight, and now she's pulling this? Plus, she was already involved in that Alaric romance drama. Totally losto interest. Unfollowing."

"From the looks of this guy, he seems like a ruthless man. Hopez he's not a jerk. Announcing a relationship is one thing, but getting engaged? That's a whole other level."

Even though she lost a few fans, Hattie didn't really care about the small drop.

The huge buzz from her announcement kept her popularity soaring high.

At the same time, Zelena's team made sure to push the theft scandal out of the spotlight, taking Zelena out of the media storm.

Hattie, on the other hand, was deeply caught up in it all.

Zelena hadn't expected Hattie to use this method to make headlines-talk about being determined. But who was the man she's engaged to?

It didn't take long for netizens to dig up information about Harvey being a CEO and wasn't someone from the industry.

A female star with a CEO?

On the surface, it seems like a perfect match, or at least gives off a very glamorous vibe.

Some netizens had their say.
