Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 631

"Here's to Kaylee's happiness!"

"Could it be Vio who played the matchmaker? Tell me quietly."

The comments varied, some full of good wishes and, naturally, some negative ones.

The relationship between a female celebrity and a rich man hardly needs elaboration—it was almost as if people were just waiting for them to part ways.

Yet, Kaylee remained unaffected by the negativity; a deep warmth filled her heart.

Her public Twitter saw shares from Violeta and Polly, and interactions from friends she had previously worked with in the industry.

Contrary to expectations, the public scrutiny did not negatively impact Kaylee. In fact, she secured her first lead role in the movie Peninsula Tea, nearing the pinnacle of her career.

Ironically, Hayden's actions unintentionally brought Zoren and Kaylee closer together—an unforeseen twist.

After the initial flurry, the online chatter subsided half a month later.

Aware of Hayden's tactics, Zoren posted additional provocative photos on his Twitter.

Meanwhile, Violeta came up with the ideal timing for their official announcement.

"Should we announce during the Wind Harbor event?"

"Yes."

Violeta smiled, "Let's announce it then. The buzz will be huge, so let's capitalize on that. We'll make our announcement on the day of the Wind Harbor event and keep everything tightly sealed until then."

Hayden agreed, "Okay, I'll follow your lead."

The Wind Harbor shoot lasted just three months.

Filming was nearly complete, with just a few final scenes left.

Due to its unconventional theme, Wind Harbor was not suitable for prime-time and even faced challenges in getting approval.

However, Violeta decided to make the official announcement during the promotion of Wind Harbor, prompting Hayden to expedite the necessary preparations.

Violeta joined the cast around the same time as Evelina.

The artists paraded down the red carpet into the venue, with Violeta gracefully making her entrance towards the end of the lineup.

Originally, Ophelia's team placed a lot of importance on the red carpet sequence, viewing it as an indicator of celebrity status.

However, this time, the organizers decided to position Violeta just after Ophelia. While Ophelia's team did not openly object, they were visibly upset behind the scenes, causing a stir with the event organizers.

As the event progressed and the host finished announcing, Ophelia still refused to make her appearance.

Aware of the situation, Violeta decided to step forward. Despite the host announcing Ophelia's name, it was Violeta who walked out, as captured on the live broadcast.

This switch caused an immediate buzz in the comments section and quickly became a hot topic on social media, trending with headlines like "Fashion Gala: Violeta White Steps In Amidst Opelia Morrow's Diva Outburst."

Backstage, Ophelia was livid!

She instructed her team to quash the trending searches and lost all interest in making her red carpet appearance, heading directly backstage without participating in the red carpet walk.

Despite the drama, many of Ophelia's fans came to her defense online.

They argued that her failure to walk the red carpet was likely a mix-up by the organizers, not a diva moment on her part.
