Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 332

If Kaylee wasn't chosen for 'The Lies In Winter', she planned to stay in school for further studies and aim for a master's degree. Opportunities would come eventually.

It would be great if she got one, but if not, it was fine.

Her goal wasn't to become a big star, she aspired to be an opera singer like Irene.

Violeta reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for anything suitable for you."

Kaylee nodded.

Violeta called Irene to let her know everything went well.

Irene was overjoyed and said she would order a cake to celebrate her precious daughter's debut.

Unfortunately, Violeta already had dinner plans with Eugene.

So they postponed the celebration to the next day.

…

In the evening, Eugene discreetly arrived at the restaurant with a male and a female assistant.

"Hello, I'm Aster Palmer. You can call me Aster."

"I'm Felix Barnes."

Eugene added, "Felix is the driver and Aster is your personal assistant."

Violeta greeted them warmly, "Nice to meet you both, I'm Violeta. We don't have to be so formal with each other. Let's just be friends."

Eugene had briefed them about Violeta before meeting her.

Seeing Violeta's down-to-earth attitude, they all relaxed and exchanged contact information over dinner.

They didn't drink any alcohol. They went separate ways after dinner.

When Violeta got home, Eugene texted her.

Beauty, Felix will pick you up at 10 AM tomorrow for a photoshoot at the company.'

Violeta replied, 'Got it.'

...

Violeta shared her joy with her family who were in the living room.

Irene felt emotional about her daughter growing up.

Anton was eager to see what Violeta would achieve in the future.

Niall patted Violeta's head, saying, "Follow your dreams, we will always have your back."

…

The next day.

Violeta arrived at the company for the photoshoot. Its purpose was to announce the newly signed artists at Apex.

When she got to the studio, Tracy was already there, getting her makeup done.

The company had also assigned an assistant for Tracy.

It seemed the company had taken action.

The marketing for 'The Quiet Ode' was starting, trending around the twentieth spot.

Eugene coordinated with the external publicity department of "The Quiet Ode" to hold off on the hype.

They planned to push the promotions after Apex's official announcement about Violeta, ensuring she got double exposure.

While waiting for the makeup artist, Violeta played with her phone.

Meanwhile, Tracy occasionally glanced at Violeta through the corner of her eye.

...

After what happened yesterday, Tracy did some digging on Violeta.

She discovered Violeta was the former campus belle of Toland University!

Violeta has been replaced by a new freshman now.

Violeta also came from an influential background, being the daughter of the chairman of White Group.

Tracy was really annoyed.

Yesterday, Winnie had subtly asked Tracy about her family background. At the time, Tracy didn't understand why.

It wasn't until she got home that she realized Winnie and Cora had fought over her because they thought she was wealthy!

Tracy's parents were locals from Quinston and were not particularly wealthy.
