Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 464

Violeta continued filming with the crew for another month and a half.

Finally, the whole crew wrapped up the production.

That evening, they held a wrap party even bigger than the one for Zelena's project.

During those eight months, they had all become friends—drinking, celebrating, and singing together.

The series had taken such a long time to film. Violeta had been working intensively every day, her mind filled with nothing but the scenes and characters. She was always surrounded by the cast and crew.

Her life revolved around the set and the hotel, moving between these two points on a daily basis.

Eight months was a long time, and Violeta needed a good rest.

She needed time to distance herself from her role.

After wrapping up the shoot, Violeta took a month off. When she reappeared in public, it was on the red carpet at the Silver Reel Awards.

Since the drama surrounding Lydia's love scandal, the hot topic online has shifted to Hattie and Alaric's rumoured relationship.

On this red carpet evening, Zelena had finally secured a haute couture dress. Though it wasn't a global debut, it was still high fashion.

As the lead actress of 'The Chosen One' and someone who had been in the industry for a long time, her popularity matched the dress's prestige.

Now, on the red carpet, Violeta's placement didn't require Eugene's persuasion anymore.

Last year, she won the best actress award, and this year she returned from Glorialand with another prestigious award.

She was no longer the rookie from her debut year; her spot was always the finale.

In the TV drama circle, no one could overshadow Violeta's presence.

Despite her prime spot, Violeta remained low-key and courteous as she greeted and took photos with several senior artists upon entering the venue.

Lydia was the closest rival to Violeta at the time, but Violeta had already surpassed her.

As the year neared its end, Lydia had only one project, with no other significant works.

She hadn't won any awards last year, and this year she didn't have any hits either.

Lydia felt as if a shadow had settled over her, perhaps a reflection of her recent poor state.

Since the relationship scandal, Lydia has taken a break and turned down numerous scripts.

She only took part in two variety shows; her aggressive nature has now calmed.

In terms of age, popularity, and work, Violeta had overtaken her.

Lydia had once soared past many predecessors, basking in glory and triumph.
