Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 692 The Collision of Fates

As Violeta stood on stage at the Oscars, confidently holding her trophy and graciously expressing her gratitude, she was at the pinnacle of her life.

Meanwhile, in Arlowand, Zelena was sitting in a car, waiting for her driver to pick up some alcohol. She leaned against the car window, holding an iPad in one hand and watching the live Oscars broadcast.

With only thirty seconds allotted for acceptance speeches, Violeta elegantly delivered a brief thank-you in Elic before gracefully turning and leaving the stage. Violeta had just stepped onto a new level of success.

This was an unprecedented achievement for the entertainment industry, surpassing the former icon Xena. Tonight was a celebration for the industry, with Apex posting five stunning photos of Violeta to celebrate her remarkable success. Zelena coldly observed the content on the iPad, letting out a sarcastic laugh.

Just then, the driver emerged from the supermarket with beer in hand. As he approached the car parked on the roadside, he suddenly received a phone call, causing him to stop and answer. "Hello? Mrs. Blake, I'll bring Ms. Blake back right away. We're on our way," he said. "Okay."

Zelena had a penchant for drinking. Initially, her parents didn't care much, but as they saw her spiraling downward, they enforced a strict ban on alcohol in the house. Consequently, the Blakes no longer kept any alcohol around, leaving Zelena to blackmail and persuade her driver to sneak out and buy some for her.

That night, they were out buying alcohol secretly, away from her family. The driver quickly ended the call and hurried towards the car. Just as he was almost there, his eyes widened in shock. He saw something and yelled, "Ms. Blake! Get out of the car!!" However, his voice couldn't compete with the speed of an approaching small truck.

As Zelena heard her driver's shout, she was about to roll down the window to ask what was happening when a small truck slammed into the rear of their sedan at full speed.
