Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 348 Rivalries and Scandals

Hattie was worried that Violeta would steal her spotlight!

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.

Popularity is a double-edged sword.

If Violeta couldn't handle the heat, she'd cool off quickly!

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.

She pondered quietly. Zelena knew that Violeta's trendy search would probably be cleared up soon and wouldn't pose much of a threat.

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