Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 523 Her Advantage

Eugene said, "Yeah, Evelina does have quite a few advantages, but it's strange. Today at the party, Evelina tried to offer a drink to Mason, but he turned her down. So, she switched targets and started cozying up to the CEO instead."

Violeta was taken aback. "Who?"

Eugene replied, "Our CEO, Jasper Weekley."

"What?!" Impressive.

Jasper was notorious for changing girlfriends frequently without getting emotionally attached. His reputation was well known among the rich kids and the study-abroad circles.

It made sense for Evelina to set her sights on Jasper, but her strategy seemed baffling.

If she already had a significant advantage with Mason, why would she go through the trouble of pursuing Jasper instead?

Jasper might be generous when dating, but he never kept anyone around for long.

Even if Evelina did manage to hook up with him, she wouldn't last more than a month at most.

Was she hoping to become the movie's female lead by relying on Jasper?

There was a straightforward path ahead, yet Evelina chose to take a more complicated one.

Violeta thought it was suspicious.

Eugene's next words were a revelation. He said, "Do you think it's possible that Evelina realized she wouldn't get any special treatment from Mason, so she decided to go after the CEO instead? But why wouldn't she have an advantage with Mr. Mason? It doesn't make sense."

Violeta thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
