Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 682 The Perfect Wedding

But now that she thought about it, Hattie hadn't been the one to make the announcement back then either.

She was forced into it by the situation.

If Zelena hadn't blackmailed her with that secret, she wouldn't have ended up where she was. One wrong step and everything went downhill from there. It's too late for regrets now.

All she can do is brace herself and face it head-on. What's she going to do, retire from the industry?

No way she's giving up her celebrity status that easily. Besides being an actress, she's got nothing left.

Even if her career is declining, it's not like she will starve.

Meanwhile, Kaylee announced her engagement to Zoren and returned to rehearsing for a play.

Zoren secretly organized a formal proposal ceremony at the theater where Kaylee rehearsed for her play. Initially, the two had only verbally agreed to get married, and Kaylee had never expected Zoren to propose to her again.

She was completely surprised on the spot, covering her mouth in shock, and the joy in her eyes was real, not just an act.

Someone at the theater secretly recorded the proposal and uploaded the video. It quickly went viral, racking up millions of views.

Hattie might be a fake rich person, but Zoren was the real deal.

Plenty of people used this moment to drag Hattie into the spotlight again, mocking her for scheming to marry into a wealthy family and failing miserably.

On the other hand, Kaylee started dating Zoren when her career was just taking off, and Zoren didn't rely on his family to succeed. Their story was one of slow and steady growth, and in the end, they made it.
