Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 486 Fallen

After finishing a day of filming, Violeta got into her car and headed back to the hotel.

Aster, busy scrolling through Facebook, looked up and said, "Ms. White, did you see that Lydia lost two luxury endorsements? Both contracts were terminated." The brands were considerate, stating that the contracts had simply expired.
