Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 524 Suspicious

"It seems like I really need to look into how the casting for this movie was done back then."

Violeta gave Tuna the half-eaten strawberry.

Then, she grabbed her phone and dialed Kaylee's number, hoping to get some details about the movie's production.

Kaylee had been part of the movie, so she definitely knew more than Violeta could guess on her own.

When Kaylee picked up, Violeta found some unexpected information.

Kaylee confirmed Violeta's suspicions.

She was absolutely right.

Prior to Evelina's casting, another actress was a perfect fit for Mason's lead role.

Unfortunately, this person went through a traumatic event, suffered severe psychological damage, and ended up withdrawing from the entertainment industry altogether.

That person was Ava Sharp, a classmate who had been in the same year as Evelina.

Kaylee recalled, "I remember when I passed the interview and was called in for the audition, there was a tall, slender girl in line with me. After her audition, Mason kept her behind to discuss the role. Everyone thought she'd be the lead actress. Later, we heard something terrible happen to her, and she had to drop out of the movie."

Violeta asked, "Do you remember what happened?"
