Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 410

At present, Zelena is left to fend for herself. Her strategy of boosting her profile through reality television was proving effective.

While her commercial appeal couldn't quite match that of Violeta and her two companions, Zelena still managed to maintain a high level of visibility and buzz.

For entertainers, awards are not the sole measure of success; staying relevant and maintaining public interest are crucial.

Even if an artist doesn't win awards, they can sustain a career with strong public attention.

High levels of buzz are also essential for reaching the status of a top star.

Eugene inquired, "Could you give us a brief summary?"

Violeta smirked and said, "If Zelena were describing it, she'd probably claim that I've stolen 18 years of a glamorous life that was rightfully hers. She'll likely use this situation to stir up even more hype."

Aster, listening in disbelief, asked, "What do you mean, stole 18 years of her glamorous life?"

Eugene frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Unfamiliar with the backstory between Violeta and Zelena, Violeta provided a brief overview of their bitter rivalry from their time at Toland University.

Eugene and Aster were taken aback by the depth of their conflict.

Aster mused, "Hmm, it seems Zelena is quite suited for the entertainment industry. Those who are willing to employ any tactic often find success."

Eugene asked, "Violeta, why didn't you mention this earlier?"

Violeta shrugged. "There was never an opportunity to bring it up."

Eugene responded, "It's fortunate you mentioned it now. If she had plotted against us, we would have been caught off guard."

"We need to prepare ourselves for any potential scandals involving Toland University and the 18-year life swap. It's bound to cause a commotion."

With years in the industry, Eugene had seen plenty of jealousy, intrigue, and betrayal.

There were no permanent allies, only enduring interests.

Even among close friends, financial disparity could breed envy, let alone in the entertainment industry.

In the competitive world of entertainment, Violeta's success led to others hoping for her downfall.
