Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 411 She Didn't Deserve It

Lydia had just appeared as a guest on the latest episode of the 'RV Travel Diaries'.

During the recording, she crossed paths with Zelena.

Zelena, eager to enhance her public image, was putting on a display of friendliness towards her senior peers.

Not harbouring any personal animosity towards Zelena, Lydia was open to forming a friendship.

In the entertainment industry, friendships could be forged as long as there were no conflicting interests, though the longevity of such relationships was uncertain.

Zelena was aware that Lydia's frustration stemmed from Violeta's recent win of the Best Supporting Actress Award.

Reports had surfaced of Lydia having a public outburst backstage at the Skyward Awards, with the media capturing her leaving in a bad mood.

Had her team not acted swiftly to suppress the story, Lydia's cold exit could have made headlines.

Given her extensive experience, Lydia was undoubtedly a strong candidate for the Best Supporting Actress Award.

It was only natural that she would be unpleased by Violeta's win.

The rivalry between their teams was intense, with no love lost.
