Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 396

If there was no The Quiet Ode, Blind Detective would have been Violeta's best bet.

But there was The Quiet Ode, so Violeta put all her hopes into it.

Whether she'd win an award or not, Violeta had no clue—it was all up to fate.

On the other hand, the one who was most anxious about Tracy climbing up wasn't Violeta, but Zelena.

Because Zelena and Tracy were in the same league, their teams were always at each other's throats.

Zelena's team had previously spread rumours about Tracy's poor acting, which made them enemies.

Violeta said, "Eugene, leak the news about Tracy joining a variety show. Someone else will take care of the rest for us."

Eugene thought for a moment and asked, "You mean Zelena's team?"

Aster said, "Zelena is really popular right now. There are rumours going around that she's Nolan's girlfriend."

Eugene laughed. "It's just a publicity. They're in the same company, trying to promote new talent. Nolan's team won't deny it.

"Beauty's right. Let's spread the news and let them fight among themselves."

Violeta smiled. "Eugene, if I don't win an award, will borrowing the jewellery for me end up embarrassing you?"

Eugene said, "Oh, it's no big deal. Even if you don't win, you'll still look stunning on the red carpet. But I did promise Lance that if we don't win, we'll have to go with his plans for the rest of the year."

Eugene had always managed Violeta's schedule himself.

To keep up her commercial value and public image, he had turned down a lot of low-quality endorsements, even though they offered a lot of money.

Violeta positioned herself as an actress.

But to the company, no matter how big she got, she was just a "product."

Refusing high offers wasn't good for the company.

Only by having absolute talent could she have a strong voice.

If she wanted to enjoy the benefits the company provides, she had to give something in return.

Eugene had been very selective, but if Violeta didn't win this time, he'd have to follow the company's decisions.
