Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 281 Affection

Meanwhile, Wade chose the newcomer, Violeta.

Hattie felt that there was more to this situation than it seemed.

"Do you know who is investing in this drama?"

Zelena asked, "Why? What's up?"

Hattie replied, "I feel like there's something fishy about this. It's better to investigate."

The fact that Violeta caught Wade's attention was no coincidence.

Even though people noticed her, it was unusual for her to secure a role so quickly, particularly as the female lead. It was almost too smooth.

Considering how sought-after Wade's scripts were, this was quite surprising.

Wade was a gold-standard screenwriter. Almost every leading actor and actress in the industry has appeared in his dramas. His name had become synonymous with awards.

Anyone who had played a role in his scripts had at least one notable 'work' to their name, no matter how their career turned out afterward.

Especially as the female lead.

Hattie had heard on-set discussions about 'The Quiet Ode'. Although it was a web series, it was a female-oriented drama.

The entire plot revolves around the female lead, Layla, and countless veteran actors support her role.

Such a series, as a debut show, is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Violeta's luck seemed to be extraordinary.

Hattie felt a pang of jealousy.

Zelena said, "Hattie, you have a wide network. Why don't you dig around a bit? I'll wait for your good news."

Hattie agreed, "Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Zelena rolled her eyes and threw it on the table.

She was now the only one remaining.
