Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 607

Winnie was taken aback by what she heard.

It turned out that Violeta became Eau Amore's spokesperson because of a group of VVIP clients pushing her up?

Lance said, "You do realize who Eau Amore's target client is, right? It's not the general public. The standards for VVIPs are quite high. Since it aligns with the clients' wishes, Eau Amore has no reason to ignore their advice.

"The internal invitation letter is a special gesture from Eau Amore to our company after they signed the contract. The company values Tracy's dedication over the years, so we provided her with this exclusive invitation. What else could it be?"

After grasping this information, Winnie's face turned an angry shade of green.

For their team, this was an utterly humiliating year!

Eau Amore's official team was eagerly anticipating Violeta's arrival, while their team had already completed all the necessary tasks for Eau Amore's endorsement.

It was one thing when they were unaware, but now that they understood, everything they had done previously appeared to be nothing more than ingratiating themselves with the brand in the brand's view!

It was incredibly humiliating!

Nevertheless, Winnie was also furious with the company's stance.

"Our team invested significant time and effort into Eau Amore's endorsement. If the company had provided an explanation sooner, we wouldn't have squandered so many resources, manpower, and time. Mr. Sowle, you were aware of our work on the Eau Amore endorsement. Why didn't you inform me earlier?"

Winnie's frustration made Lance chuckle.

"Winnie, have you ever encountered a brand that dismisses an artist's kind gestures?

"Never agreeing is just a standard rejection. You've been too confident, assuming you could effortlessly land this endorsement. Additionally, the company has a confidentiality agreement with Eau Amore—why would I break it and reveal details to you?"

Both explicitly and implicitly, they were both unreasonable.

It was entirely unacceptable.

Winnie clenched her teeth, overwhelmed by the humiliation she had endured at the company.

"Mr. Sowle, you've demonstrated favoritism more than once, haven't you? If it were Eugene standing here today instead of me, perhaps you would have discreetly informed Eugene about this a year ago.

"Bringing up a confidentiality agreement? Huh, that's just a convenient excuse. Even if you can't state it directly, you could at least hint at it, right? But you choose not to. Claiming you're adhering to the agreement sounds noble, but in reality, it's just your bias at play!"

Lance responded, "After Eau Amore's official announcement, she came to me, demanding I should have warned her sooner. It seems like these people really believe they can boss me around and act superior just because they've had some success in the last two years."

Eugene struggled to suppress a laugh at his comment.

Meanwhile, after exiting the office, Winnie headed to the artist lounge.

Tracy, who had been waiting there for an update from Winnie, noticed her troubled look and realized that the company must have been aware of the situation for quite some time.

"Winnie, what did the company say?"

Winnie, both angry and helpless, answered, "Our suspicion was correct—the company knew about this issue a long time ago and chose not to reveal it."

Tracy tightened her fists in response, feeling deeply embarrassed and disheartened.

She had been with Apex Entertainment for many years and didn't have to exclusively endorse Eau Amore.

Realizing that the endorsement for Eau Amore was meant for Violeta and that no one had informed her, she ended up being a laughingstock for an entire year.
