Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 620 Shania Was Caught

Shania nodded and quickly walked away.

Once she was out of the security guard's sight, she changed direction and headed straight for the underground parking garage.

The parking garage was massive, but it wasn't hard to navigate.

After entering, she began searching for the car.

Today, Hayden had driven a different car. After a wash and maintenance, his driver parked the Audi A8 there again. The car gleamed under the garage lights after waxing.

Shania found the car and immediately started taking pictures with her phone. She pressed her face against the window, trying to see inside, but the tinted windows blocked her view.

Luckily, the front windshield wasn't tinted, so she stretched her neck to peek inside, but still, she couldn't see anything.

Despite that, she did manage to replace the car.

This car being in Liberty Grove's parking garage meant that the man driving it probably lived there too-maybe even living with Violeta.

She wished that she could get a picture of Violeta and this man together.

Shania's eyes lit up as she thought about her next move. She decided to leave the garage and wander around Liberty Grove, hoping to get lucky. After all, she was already there, so she might as well take a look around.

It was her first time in such a high-end neighborhood. She had heard that the rent here was more than 10 thousand per month.

Just as Shania was about to leave the parking garage, a patrolling security guard caught sight of her.

"Who are you?"

Shania's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly pulled herself together. After all, working with Evelina had exposed her to high-pressure situations before.

And today, she was dressed quite respectably, so she bravely turned around and snapped, "I'm a resident here. I just came down to grab something from my car. Why are you shouting and scaring me like that?"

The security guard hadn't seen Shania before, but her confidence made him hesitate.

"You're a resident? Which building and unit are you from?"

Shania had no idea, but she pretended to be confident and replied, "Building 2, Unit 6."

The guard immediately saw through her lie. "Our residents don't introduce themselves by their unit numbers like that. You're not a resident! Who are you? What are you doing in the parking garage? Are you up to something?" Realizing she'd been caught, Shania didn't waste a second and ran away.

She couldn't afford to get caught.

If she was caught, everything would be over.

"Stop right there!"

The guard, seeing her flee, quickly grabbed his walkie-talkie to alert the other guards and took off after her.

Shania was short but quick as she darted through the garage.

The guard was surprised by her agility as she dashed out of the parking area.

Liberty Grove's grounds were extensive, and Shania focused only on escaping and didn't pay attention to where she was going. Soon, she found herself lost.

Ms. Silverleaf and Hilary had just

returned from grocery shopping and

were about to enter their building when they heard a security guard shouting for someone to stop.

Hilary's eyes narrowed as she looked toward the sound. Shania was running straight toward them, shouting, "Move!"

Hilary calmly set down her groceries and, in a swift motion, grabbed the hood of Shania's jacket, pulling her down. With a knee to Shania's back, she pinned her to the ground, expertly twisting her arms behind her as if she were subduing a criminal.

Shania screamed in pain, shouting and struggling.

Ms. Silverleaf, not wanting to cause trouble, quickly said, "Oh dear, what's going on? Hilary, don't get involved."

By then, three security guards had caught up.

"Thank you! If it weren't for you, who knows where she would've gone."

Hilary made a gesture.

Ms. Silverleaf interpreted, "She says no problem, just lending a hand."

"Who is this woman?" one of the guards asked.

"We're not sure. How did she even get in here?" another guard replied.

Ms. Silverleaf warned, "You all need to be more careful. She might be another one of those paparazzi sneaking in to take photos. Hilary, let's go."

Shania glared at Hilary. If it hadn't been for her, she wouldn't have been caught.

Ms. Silverleaf and Hilary walked into their building, while the guards took Shania away. They intended to call the police, but Shania claimed she was just lost and refused to say anything more.

When the guard who had been helping unload the water returned, he recognized Shania as the woman who had come with Robert to deliver water. Robert couldn't believe that Shania had the nerve to wander around a place like Liberty Grove.
