Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 348 Rivalries and Scandals

On set, Tracy was filming.

News of Violeta's scandal quickly reached their ears.

Tracy was in the makeup room, scrolling through the trendy search online, especially enjoying the comments accusing Violeta of having a sugar daddy. She used a secondary account to like all those comments. Some people might get popular quickly, but they can also fade just as fast, she thought.

Meanwhile, like Hattie, Zelena recognised Zoren as the man in the car from the trendy search.

They all knew each other from college, and Zelena was incredibly familiar with Violeta.

Violeta, backed by the White family, wouldn't be desperate enough to seek a sugar daddy.

However, Zelena remembered that 'The Moon Belongs to You' was set to be released soon.
