Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 375 He Took a Beating

Violeta was an artist, and her appearance was her most valuable asset.

It was simple for people to offer kind words.

But when things escalated to this point, few were willing to step up and take the beating on her behalf.

Eugene, however, was willing to do so.

In Violeta's eyes, Eugene was a man of outstanding loyalty and responsibility.

She had indeed chosen the right manager.

Lydia had made a terrible mistake back then.

Violeta said, "Eugene, actually, I—"

Eugene interrupted, "Enough, stop trying to talk me out of this. Beauty, it seems like we can't get Wendy. We'll have to come up with another plan."

Even at this critical moment, Eugene was still thinking about work. He was a true workaholic.

Just as he finished speaking, James had already set up the stage.

His servants had brought in a sofa and a table with unopened wine bottles. A woman stepped forward to open the bottle and let it breathe.

James sat on the sofa, his posture arrogant.

With a slight tilt of his chin, a bodyguard stepped forward.

He asked, "Time's up. Who's going up on stage?"

Eugene took off his coat and stepped forward.
