Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 656

Hayden holds a significant position in politics, which is much better compared to a businessman. That b*tch has successfully landed herself a promising partner.

"We're currently in the process of selecting a wedding date. Don't worry. We'll keep our fans informed. Now that we've officially announced our relationship, there's no reason to keep our wedding plans under wraps," Violeta stated with assurance.

The host nodded appreciatively and commented, "Transparency is key! Now, let's get Lena's fans buzzing. I'm going to pull some questions from the audience!

"The first question is about rumors suggesting that Lena has been getting close to Wayne lately. Is there something exciting in the works?"

Zelena flashed a feigned shy smile, lowering her gaze as if to create an air of innocence. "Oh, please don't say that! Wayne and I are just really good friends. I hope these rumors don't keep circulating. They could cause him some trouble."

The host paused for a moment, caught off guard by Zelena's theatrical response, before quickly regaining his composure. "Is that so? Did you all hear that? Let's not stir up more rumors. We wouldn't want Lena to get upset!

"Alright, let's move on to the second question. Ah, here's one! A fan wants to know what your ideal partner is like."

Zelena subtly cast her eyes downward and said, "I've loved watching television since I was a kid. I remember being in middle school, tuning in to Wayne's shows. I thought he was incredibly handsome! I always dreamed of finding someone like him. So, I guess that makes him my type! Haha! I wonder if anyone else gets it. We all had our idols growing up, right?"

Zelena had practically stated that Wayne was her ideal man without holding back.

Her middle school years?

Wayne was 12 years her senior. By the time Zelena was in middle school, Wayne was already a well-known name—one of the leading male celebrities of his generation.

If Zelena had been 14, Wayne would have been 26.

She was basically the embodiment of youthful infatuation!

Just moments before, she had insisted they were merely friends, and now she was openly expressing her admiration for his type.

The comments section erupted with activity.

However, since the Q&A segment had wrapped up, the event was coming to a close.

The host skillfully left a sense of suspense hanging in the air before finishing the segment and ending the livestream.

As the event concluded, Violeta stood up gracefully, exchanged a few words with the staff, and headed offstage to change her outfit and remove her makeup.

Wayne's charming looks won him the hearts of viewers, making him a sought-after catch.

Having spent his career in leading roles, he still managed to achieve remarkable box-office success.

Yet, the fact that he remained single raised some eyebrows.

There were whispers suggesting that he had been married in the past, even fathering a child in secret, but the relationship had fallen apart because the woman couldn't cope with being kept out of the public eye. His hectic schedule had ultimately led to their divorce.

Some rumors even alleged that Wayne was gay, claiming that he had no interest in women at all.

Despite the gossip, Wayne had never felt the need to address any of it.

"It's a constant shuffle in the entertainment industry, but Wayne stands firm like a rock," Aster remarked, glancing at the trending gossip on Facebook.

She sighed and added, "Given Wayne's fame, even my mom knows who he is! Back in the day, he was often paired with well-established actresses for publicity, and now he's linked to Zelena.

"As long as a male actor maintains his appearance, he can easily portray a husband one decade and a son the next. It's really not an exaggeration."
