Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 398 Best Newcomer Award

Zelena was consumed by jealousy.

The awards ceremony began soon after, similar to the previous film festival. The main event was, of course, the awards presentation.

After the host gave a few polite opening remarks, they dove right into the awards.

They started with the smaller awards and worked their way up to the big ones. First, they handed out prizes for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing. Then, they finally got to the highly anticipated Best Newcomer Award.

"Who's going to win the Best Newcomer Award?"

The room went quiet.

Everyone was watching the two presenters up on stage.

The presenter opened the envelope, peeked at the name inside, and gave a playful smile to the crowd.

They then looked over at the row of newcomers, including Violeta.

The camera followed, catching each person's face as it moved down the line.

Everyone wore a calm smile, and the camera finally settled on Violeta, who gave a little smile back to the camera.

Then, the presenter's voice rang out.

"And the winner of the Best Newcomer Award is...
