Chapter 553 Ambitions

"I have some exciting news, Vio. You're going to be an aunt soon. Elaine is expecting," Irene announced.

"Really? That's amazing! Mom, that's one less worry for you," Violeta replied, her face lighting up with delight.

Irene was overjoyed. As she approached retirement, she looked forward to spending time at home with her grandchild.

Niall, now in his thirties, was about to become a father, and the baby would surely become the Whites' cherished little one.

Violeta shared the enthusiasm, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new family member.

Filming was paused for the New Year, and the crew had set up a projector to show the Spring Gala.

Even though only a few people watched, the festive spirit was what mattered.

The sudden flurry of activity from her previously quiet supporters caused quite a buzz among her fans.

After sending out the gifts and exchanging New Year's wishes, Violeta quietly slipped away.

Kaylee commented, "Vio, I see Tracy is also performing in this year's Spring Gala."

Violeta glanced at the screen. "Oh, she is."
