Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 441 Aether Annual Award



However, the film didn't do much for the actors; it primarily showcased Mr. Mason.

It set the stage for his future as a renowned director.

Earlier, Zelena thought she would be filming 'The Moon Belongs To You', so she didn't even consider the script for recruiting actors at school. Naturally, she didn't pay any attention to 'The Lies in Winter'.

Violeta's current trajectory differed from her previous life, making Zelena suspicious.

With Violeta's associates also diverging from the previous pattern, Zelena was almost sure that something was amiss with Violeta.

It seemed she couldn't rely on her memories of her previous life to deal with Violeta in this lifetime.

The Rose' had wrapped up filming.

After finishing her scenes, Tracy returned to her company.

In the half-year since they last met, she had visibly slimmed down.

Nirvana and Rebirth' had started the year off well, but it remained to be seen whether 'The Rose' could carry that momentum forward.

Forget about next year's awards—let's see if she could secure a spot at the end-of-year Aether Annual Award.

The teams from both sides met at the company.

Violeta glanced calmly at Tracy. They exchanged looks but didn't speak, passing each other without a word. Another month went by.

Tracy secured top luxury resources and was rapidly advancing, showing signs of catching up to Violeta.

After the last scandal involving her love life, Lydia became quite low-key and didn't attend any events long.

Despite having many scripts to choose from, Violeta had not taken on any new roles, maintaining a steady six-day rest each month.

Before the year ended, 'The Rose' had been released.

The Lies in Winter' had wrapped up filming.

Tracy ended the year on a high note with her role as Rosalinda.

At the Aether Annual Award, Violeta stepped onto the stage in a perfectly tailored red coat to accept the year's Best Commercially Valuable Artist Trophy.

Her red carpet-photos were criticized on Facebook.

For this red carpet event, Tracy also wore haute couture, significantly outshining other celebrities in terms of style.

Zelena's stylist managed to get her a luxury brand gown, but unexpectedly, her look clashed with that of another senior actress, Ophelia Morrow. Originally, Zelena planned to ride the wave of her red carpet photos' popularity.

But after the clash, the hype became difficult to manage.

Ophelia was a veteran with a deep background in the industry.

With their looks clashing, Zelena quickly had her assistant contact Ophelia's team to smooth things over, not wanting to offend her.

Fashion bloggers commented online, suggesting that while dress colours might clash, a full look clash was quite rare.

It seemed there was an insider leak from the styling team.

After this incident, female stars will likely become even more competitive with haute couture.

That's because haute couture is often one-of-a-kind globally, so two people can't wear the same thing.

After the incident, Zelena was extremely angry.

Fortunately, Ophelia's side had already handled things, resolving the matter amicably without any fallout.

The person behind the scheme had miscalculated!

Celeste Wren, Zelena's assistant,

said, "Lena, this whole thing is really strange. We don't even know when

our styling details got leaked

Zelena narrowed her eyes and said firmly, "It was Hattie, that vixen, who did this to me."

The lead female role in 'The Chosen One' had been stolen from Hattie.

It was clear that Hattie wouldn't let this go easily.

She would definitely find a way to get back at Zelena.

So, at the Aether Annual Award, Hattie had plotted to embarrass Zelena and senior actress Ophelia, making Zelena a laughingstock while dragging Ophelia down as well.

Zelena clenched her fists. "I won't let her get away with this. Just wait!"

Celeste said, "Luckily, Ophelia didn't hold a grudge and helped us suppress the trending searches."

Ophelia held a significant position in the film industry for years.

Her status was higher than Zelena's!

Though her momentum wasn't as explosive as top star Violeta's, she was not a minor star to be easily trampled. Zelena had only been in the industry for two years; offending Ophelia would make things difficult for her in the future.

Fortunately, Ophelia also found the incident embarrassing, so she preferred to let it slide and hoped to

quickly bury the controveContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Zelena narrowed her eyes. "If Hattie wants to mess with me, she won't have an easy time either."
