Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 640 Xena Shepherd

Violeta decided to help Ophelia track down the person behind the scheme.

As expected, the situation once again pointed to Zelena.

"Aster, check the hotel to see if that waiter is still employed there. If not, try to find out more details, like his name and ID. The hotel should have his information from when he was hired." Aster nodded. "Got it."

Public opinion was intense.

Many netizens posted photos, supposedly Al-generated, of Ophelia on her Facebook. The first post received tens of thousands of comments.

Those scandalous photos were a severe blow to Ophelia's career.

After remaining silent for a day, Ophelia's team released a statement denying any connection to the photos and announced they were pursuing legal action against several misleading accounts. While it did calm some of the criticism, many online comments came from anonymous sources, with numerous people using the scandal to spread the harshest remarks.

Some people did express sympathy for Ophelia's plight. However, there were plenty who mocked her in private.

Among the critics was Lydia, Ophelia's old rival.

After she fainted at an event, embarrassing photos of her spread widely on Facebook, ruining her previously pristine image and forcing her out of the limelight.

Once Lydia's career faded, Ophelia seized many of her opportunities.
