Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 286

After the shoot wrapped up that day, Jaime celebrated the end of the project with a wrap party that night.

He toasts to everyone, expressing his hopes for the show's success.

"Violeta, you have a real shot at winning the Best New Actress Award next year," he said, raising his glass.

After he played a role in this series, Jaime was more aware than anyone of its grand production scale. Each episode had a budget comparable to that of a movie.

Every scene was meticulously crafted, and every costume and prop was carefully designed.

The lead actress was the focal point of this series. Winning an award seemed almost inevitable; it was just a question of which one.

If Violeta won the Best Newcomer Award, she would undoubtedly be the most surprising breakthrough actress of the year.

However, strict confidentiality agreements signed by all the actors prevented the leak of any details.

Despite this, many online critics doubted the series.

They claimed Wade was past his prime. He had resorted to low-budget web series to make money.

Many predicted that he would lose his position as a top-notch screenwriter.

Zelena's earlier criticism of Violeta had an impact on those internet users. They were sceptical about the show's quality and her performance.

Violeta smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll take your word for it."

Jaime looked at Violeta with admiration, and he said, "I look forward to working with you again."

"Me too."

Violeta's ankle had mostly healed, but she still needed to sit in a wheelchair for certain scenes.

She was almost three months away from home. Her parents missed her terribly. They came to Crurgh to visit the production team. Niall also tagged along.

Though Violeta didn't want to delay filming, she had to keep her parents with her and asked the director for a day off.

Niall had already informed Wade ahead of time. They planned to have dinner that evening with Rufus and Wade.

During dinner, Rufus and Wade couldn't stop praising Violeta.

The news that everything went well reassured Anton and Irene.

Rufus had known about Violeta's background for a while, but meeting her parents confirmed the rumours he'd heard.

Despite her privileged background, Violeta's dedication to her craft was truly remarkable.

Rufus became even more impressed with her.

After dinner, Violeta accompanied her parents back to their hotel.

The next day, Niall left Crurgh.

Violeta resumed filming while her parents explored the city for two days.

Concerned about her well-being, Irene bought lots of supplies for the film crews and treated them to coffee.
