Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 355

Violeta took a sip of her wine.

In her past life, she remembered the scandal of Brandon's downfall due to his indulgent lifestyle. There was news of an unplanned pregnancy with a female singer in the industry.

Although Brandon's family background was good, the scandal affected him significantly. However, it wasn't enough to drive him out of the industry; instead, the woman faced severe online abuse for a long time.

At that time, the famous director, Austin Cress, was approaching.

Eugene quickly brought Violeta over to greet him. This was a rare opportunity to expand her network.

...

Meanwhile, the red carpet event continued.

Hattie, in a high-end White Goddess gown, posed confidently, lingering on the red carpet a bit longer than necessary.

Following the schedule, one star after another walked the red carpet.

Lydia appeared in a striking black haute couture dress, exuding a powerful aura with flawless makeup. The highlight of her outfit was a large ruby necklace around her neck. After signing at the board, she raised her hand to greet the cameras.

She had already paid the media to ensure her presence would trend after the event. Her haute couture dress was a global first-wear, a rare opportunity in the domestic entertainment industry.

After leaving the red carpet, her assistant draped a coat over her shoulders.

"Are we trending yet?"

"Lydia, it's all set."

"Good."

Feeling reassured, Lydia grabbed her clutch and headed backstage.

As soon as she arrived, she recognised a few familiar faces and followed the staff to her seat.

She glanced around and noticed Austin sitting with the director of Clio Charity Night. Her goal was to break into the film industry, so she took off her coat and walked over, swaying her hips.
