Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 348

Hattie was worried that Violeta would steal her spotlight!

No, that couldn't happen—she was determined to win the Best New Actress Award, and her mom would help her achieve that.

---

On set, Tracy was filming.

News of Violeta's scandal quickly reached their ears.

Tracy was in the makeup room, scrolling through the trendy search online, especially enjoying the comments accusing Violeta of having a sugar daddy. She used a secondary account to like all those comments.

Some people might get popular quickly, but they can also fade just as fast, she thought.

Popularity is a double-edged sword.

If Violeta couldn't handle the heat, she'd cool off quickly!

Meanwhile, like Hattie, Zelena recognised Zoren as the man in the car from the trendy search.

They all knew each other from college, and Zelena was incredibly familiar with Violeta.

Violeta, backed by the White family, wouldn't be desperate enough to seek a sugar daddy.

The fact that Zoren was seen in the same car likely meant they were just out for dinner, and the paparazzi caught them.

She pondered quietly. Zelena knew that Violeta's trendy search would probably be cleared up soon and wouldn't pose much of a threat.

However, Zelena remembered that 'The Moon Belongs to You' was set to be released soon.

She quickly checked Facebook and found the official announcement for the release of 'The Moon Belongs to You' in fourth place on the trendy search.

She knew Hattie was probably eager to bring down Violeta.

Zelena wanted to bring her down, but her drama, 'Spring Isn't Blooming,' wasn't finished yet.

Since Hattie abandoned her, Zelena's attempt to sabotage Violeta wasn't working out. Zelena thought it was better to bring Hattie down along with Violeta.

Zelena quickly contacted NetSpin Agency to manipulate the trendy search, aiming to create a negative buzz for 'The Moon Belongs to You'.

Before the show's popularity could rise, she wanted to label it as 'cheesy' and 'trying to look hip and youthful' so that viewers would approach it with a biased perspective.

Youth idol dramas often have polarised reviews.

These kinds of romance shows are usually targeted at college students, so many adults find them overly sweet and off-putting.

If the lead actors had mediocre acting skills, the show could quickly be criticised as 'cheesy' online.

Zelena seized this opportunity and vigorously pushed the narrative online.

In the evening, at 8 PM, 'The Moon Belongs to You' premiered.
