Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 88 Bitter Melon

The commotion caught the attention of both the students and the teacher.

Hattie fabricated a story, claiming that Violeta had fallen because she couldn't stand still.

Violeta had no evidence to prove that Hattie had pushed her. Even if someone had witnessed it, they wouldn't come forward to testify for Violeta, as they didn't want to offend the well-off Miss Hattie Ridge. Thus, Violeta had no choice but to suppress her anger.

This incident completely changed Violeta's perception of Hattie.

Hattie was just as cunning as Zelena.

After having such a conflict with Hattie, Violeta started hearing some gossip about her in the entertainment industry.

They said that Hattie had a terrible personality. She would use ventriloquism to insult people on stage during recordings, and she would treat the staff very poorly. Moreover, she would also act like a diva and bully newcomers.

Violeta believed all of them.

After all, Hattie was that kind of person!

Unfortunately, in her previous life, Violeta didn't know Liam.

Therefore, she had no idea how the conflict within his family unfolded.

No wonder Liam warned them at the theater last time that the twins weren't so simple.

Zelena sat in the middle row closer to the front. When Hattie introduced herself on stage, Zelena immediately recognized her.

Zelena vividly remembered that Hattie was the illegitimate daughter of the Ridges in Quinston, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that Hattie's mother was the renowned actress, Hannah Leid, from Harbor City!

If she could establish a good relationship with Hattie, she would have one more connection in the entertainment industry in the future.

Zelena wanted to befriend Hattie not only because her mother was Hannah, but also because in her previous life, Violeta was Hattie's biggest competitor when she entered the entertainment industry. Hattie relied on her mother's resources and quickly rose to fame. Soon after, she became a well-established figure in the industry.

Hattie and Violeta were fierce rivals in the entertainment industry.

Zelena would try to win over anyone who competed against Violeta.
