Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 353 The Lineup

"Lydia, Violeta is trending again. It's hilarious!

"How did a newcomer like her dare to step on us? Do these newbies think they can just walk over their seniors to get ahead? It's so presumptuous!"

Lydia nonchalantly replied to her WhatsApp messages, then paused to listen to her assistant. She put her phone down and extended her hand. "Let me see."

The assistant handed over the phone. Lydia scrolled through the news and saw her fans praising her. She casually liked a few comments, using her assistant's account.

Though Lydia was very popular, the comment section wasn't entirely in her favour. Violeta's fans were also quite vocal.

"This Violeta has a decent fan base," Lydia remarked.

Her assistant replied, "They're just fans of her drama. She starred in 'The Quiet Ode,' which is popular right now. It's normal for her to have some following. But if her future projects aren't as good, those fans will disappear. It won't affect us."

Another assistant, Devin, chimed in, "Exactly. But it's clear Violeta is ambitious. She just signed with Apex and is already trying to step on us, claiming she's the new Top Gun. It's laughable! Where does she get the nerve?"

Lydia chuckled and handed the phone back to her assistant. She adjusted the blanket on her lap and closed her eyes. "It's not about her having the nerve. This is just Eugene trying to get back at me."
