Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 467

She and Eugene had a brief discussion and quickly came up with this plan.

Violeta knew Zelena very well.

Eugene was also familiar with the underhanded tactics employed by people in the entertainment industry.

If Zelena thought about it more, she could figure out who wanted her and Ophelia to clash with their outfits.

However, she underestimated Violeta, so she assumed the outfit clash was Hattie's plan.

Starting with the wrong assumption led to mistake after mistake.

From the beginning, Zelena never suspected Violeta, so Violeta remained perfectly hidden in this matter.

After this incident, Zelena and Hattie could never get along.

Things turned out exactly as Violeta expected.

At the end of the year, during a Blue Channel variety show, Zelena and Hattie had a brawl on stage.

The views from the clip were astonishing.

The headline was a bit exaggerated.

In reality, Hattie appeared as a guest star on Zelena's regular variety show.

During a game, the two were on opposing teams.

The goal was to stop the opponent from winning the game.

They tore into each other, using props to hit one another furiously.

The props were made of sponge and wouldn't hurt anyone.

But with feathers flying everywhere, the sight of the two fighting on stage provided plenty of entertainment value.

That episode unsurprisingly broke the season's viewership record.

They didn't need to go that far for the show's sake.

Given their genuine personal grievances, they turned the situation into a spectacle.

At the end of the year, Violeta landed two endorsements.

One was for DuchessM's cookies.

The other was a global spokesperson for Calvin Klein's clothing line.

At the company's annual meeting.

All the artists from Apex Entertainment had to perform together, like a huge New Year's Eve party.

The company's only two top agents, Eugene and Aiden, were hosting on stage.

Talk about making the best use of resources.

Elaine was taking things out of the trunk and turned when she heard Violeta's voice, "Hey, Vio, you're out early."

Violeta said with a smile, "It's a rare chance to take Tuna out for a walk. Elle, are you celebrating at our place this year?"

Elaine bit her lip, looking a bit shy. She answered, "Yeah."

Violeta's eyes lit up, suspecting something.

Sure enough.

At lunch, Violeta watched as Niall put some food on Elaine's plate, then announced their relationship to everyone.

Violeta was momentarily stunned, then said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

Niall and Elaine had grown up together. They were childhood sweethearts and a perfect match in every way.

Their families were old friends, and the union of their children was a dream come true.

Anton and Irene couldn't be happier.

Niall took the opportunity to announce this, adding to the joy.

Violeta had always admired Elaine. She raised her glass to show her support.

"From now on, I can't call you Elaine; I have to call you sister-in-law. Happy New Year, Sis. Don't forget to give me the gift."

Irene smiled brightly and said, "Patricia, we have finally become in-laws! Hahaha."
