Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 330

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

Violeta had had enough of the mockery.

Initially, she thought she would just endure a few remarks, but seeing that they weren't stopping, she decided to retort.

After all, she wasn't a pushover.

She smirked and looked straight at them.

Calmly, she said, "You think I'm being picky?

"You've got it wrong. You two weren't even in the running. I apologized out of courtesy, but you guys are taking it too far.

"How is it that, despite being so 'good' at your jobs, you're still stuck here after all these years?

"Instead of reflecting on your own failures, you resort to this passive-aggressive nonsense. Who do you think you are?'

Winnie and Cora, who were about to leave, froze on the spot.

They were at a loss for words.

Brandon watched with surprise and amusement.

Tracy and Chad were equally shocked.

None of them expected a newbie like Violeta to talk back to the agents.

She's bold!

Cora snapped, "What did you say?!"

Winnie added, "Who are you to lecture us?"

Violeta replied, "You should ask yourself, who are you to mock me?"

Cora was completely enraged. "What did the talent scout find in someone like you?"

Violeta blinked innocently. "My pretty face, of course."

Cora was shocked by the answer.

"Do you think they should pick someone like you instead? Excuse me, but how old are you, forty-something?" Violeta continued.

Cora cursed in her heart.

F*ck! I'm only thirty!

She was so angry that she felt dizzy.

Winnie turned to the staff member. "You saw that, right? This person is extremely rude. She's already like this right after signing the contract. Imagine how hard it would be to manage her later. I'm going to speak to the vice president about terminating her contract..."

Before she could finish, the door suddenly opened, and a man in gray walked in.

"Terminate whose contract?"

Everyone turned to look at the door.

The man who entered was Eugene Scott.

Apex Entertainment's superagent.

The staff member asked in surprise, "Mr. Scott, what brings you here?"

Eugene entered the room. "Sorry for being late, I'm here to pick up my artist."
