Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 397

Zelena narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you can't reach the grapes, don't complain that they're sour. Are you only now realising how bad your acting is? You must be grinding your teeth in frustration."

Tracy turned to Zelena and said, "You'll regret going against me."

Zelena responded, "Oh? Really?"

Tracy replied, "I promise you'll regret it. Just wait and see!"

With that, Tracy walked away.

Zelena flipped her hair dismissively and said, "Hmph! Even a fool knows how to talk tough. I'm curious to see what you can really do."

Three days later.

The 39th Skyward Award had finally arrived.

The award ceremony would be broadcast live on satellite TV and major online video platforms across the country.

Fans were buzzing with excitement, ready for another exciting red carpet show.

So many new faces emerged last year, and fans were all excited and ready for their favourites to win, so they were already waiting early on.

Jewellery was a must, so Violeta chose a simple, fitted dress. With long, curly hair and bold red lips, it gave off a bit of a vintage glamour vibe, making it a standout look on the red carpet.

Tracy, thanks to connections through her godfather, managed to get a high-end gown that made her look like a blooming peony.

Hattie was rocking another high-end custom gown this time.

Zelena went with her usual affordable luxury look, which was polished and spot-on.

But Zelena couldn't help feeling a bit jealous seeing Tracy in such a fancy gown.

Every time Violeta walked the red carpet, her look made it to the trending searches, and this time was no exception.

Comments online were:

'Violeta's look on the red carpet just keeps getting better. This outfit is so beautiful. There aren't many stars in the industry who go for this style.'

'You can tell her resources are getting better and better. The jewellery she's wearing is actually more expensive than her dress. She's the first of the newcomers to get top-tier luxury jewellery. I think she's got a good shot at the Best Newcomer Award .'

'Tracy got a high-end gown too, but it doesn't look like a couture.'

'Each of Violeta's looks just keeps getting more stylish. So far, her career is clearly moving towards a strong, serious image, while the others are still a bit unclear in their direction.'
