Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 438 The Mastermind Behind the Criticism

"Violeta's Downfall."

"Violeta's Cross-Dressing Fail."

Those hashtags trended for three days straight.

Aside from Zelena, the person most thrilled by this turn of events was Lydia.

Lydia's team had always been at odds with Violeta's.

Not long ago, Lydia was in the spotlight for a relationship scandal that caused quite a stir, leaving her worried about how to handle the fallout. Unexpectedly, Violeta sent her a gift.

Violeta's rising popularity quickly overshadowed Lydia's scandal, shifting public attention away from Lydia's problems and focusing instead on Violeta.

It was a stroke of luck for Lydia!

Taking advantage of the situation, Lydia fueled the controversy further.

While high popularity brought many benefits, it also attracted a fair share of critics. The path to success was rarely smooth.

Many people thought Violeta's choice to take on a theater role was a mistake, believing it would ruin her career.
