Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 434 Lydia's Scandal

In truth, Zelena wasn't passionate about acting.

She simply enjoyed the fame and the admiration that came with being a celebrity, much like how she used to admire Violeta in her past life.

Because of that, Zelena was committed to improving her acting skills and even took private lessons from the Film Academy.

Hattie, on the other hand, had a slight edge over Zelena. With an actress mother, she had some natural talent in her genes. Privately, Hattie often mocked Zelena for lacking in talent.

The director often had to spend extra time teaching her, which made some wonder if Zelena was the one acting or if it was the director.

However, Hattie wasn't much better. Despite her talent, she didn't put in the effort required.

As time went on, her natural talent began to wane. Even if she had opportunities, she didn't make the most of them.
