Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 678 Best Actress Award

As the clips on the big screen finished playing, a strong sense of fate lingered in the air with the final drumbeats.

Violeta cast her gaze slightly toward the direction of Nolan. He was looking up at the screen, half of his face caught in the play of light and shadow. The sharp lines of his prominent nose exuded a certain elegance, and even his hair seemed to carry an air of detachment. "Vio, who do you think will win Best Actor?"

"Hmm?" Violeta subtly averted her gaze, smiling lightly. "I'm not sure."

Kaylee chimed in, "I hope it's Chad. After two years of hard work, he deserves it."

Violeta nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's true."

Anyone would do, anyone would be fine.

As the drumbeats gradually faded away, the lights returned to normal, and the two presenters on stage prepared to announce the winner.

"There were so many outstanding films last year! Now it's time to announce the results! You go ahead."

"Alright, I'll take it from here."

The presenter on stage slowly opened the envelope. Upon seeing the result, a bright smile spread across his face as his gaze shifted to the row of The Golden Ages team.

In a powerful voice, he announced, "The award for Best Actor goes to ...

"The Golden Ages's Chad Howell!"
