Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 62 Always A Gentleman, Always Proud

In her previous life, Violeta barely scraped by as a stunt double on set.

One scorching day during her lunch break, she bought a popsicle and sat under a tree to enjoy it.

As she savored the treat, she suddenly heard a loud noise from behind the wall. Intrigued, she looked over and saw a man collapsing from heatstroke.

Violeta immediately carried him to a shaded area, cooled him down, and gave him water. Then she hurried to the crew to seek help.

To her surprise, when she returned with the medical staff from the crew, he had already vanished.

They crossed paths again at Zelena's press conference for her new drama.

Archer, the main investor in the drama, personally appeared to support and promote Zelena. He also presented her with lavish gifts, causing envy among others.

At that time, the entire internet was speculating that Archer had a secret crush on Zelena and willingly served as her backup!

Zelena clarified that they were just good friends who had known each other since their student days and had an instant connection.

Violeta never saw Archer again after that and naturally had no further interaction with him.

However, she often learned from the internet that Zelena could always secure investments from the Barnett Group for almost every drama she participated in. Netizens jokingly referred to her as the Barnett Group's favorite.

Although she didn't know the specifics, she remembered Archer's face.

She didn't expect to encounter him so soon in this life. It seemed that Zelena must have met Archer at this league event!

"Vio! Vio, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said?"

Kaylee snapped Violeta out of her daydream.

Violeta blinked her eyelashes as she unscrewed the cap of her mineral water bottle and took a sip.

"Kay, what did you just say?"

Kaylee looked at her helplessly. "How can you still be distracted at this crucial moment? Look at the few girls behind Archer, they are our biggest rivals in this competition! They are famous twin athletes from the sports institute, and they are very strong!"

Violeta glanced indifferently at the two short-haired, tall girls standing behind Archer.

"Oh."
