Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 439

When public figures reach a certain level of fame, they inevitably face intense scrutiny.

Anyone could voice criticism.

But once 'Love Dream' was broadcast online, those doubts were likely to fade away.

Violeta was confident in that.

However, Aster was frustrated with the online criticism.

"These people haven't even seen the show. Why do they spread rumors online? It's infuriating.

"If our colleagues hadn't set the tone, this wouldn't have blown up so much.

"By the way, Ms. White, our rising popularity seems to have unintentionally overshadowed Lydia's relationship scandal."

Violeta paused for a moment. "Lydia's relationship scandal?"

Aster explained, "Yes, there were speculations online about Lydia's boyfriend from some blurry photos. Despite the photos being unclear, it was obvious that Lydia was with a man."

Violeta hadn't paid much attention to this issue, as she was busy preparing for her play.

Aster, who liked to gossip, added, "I heard Lydia solved the issue by buying the photos from the paparazzi for 600 thousand. There's talk that her boyfriend is a director's son, but it's uncertain if that's true."

Such rumors rarely spread without reason.

Violeta lowered her gaze.

At that time, 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was stuck in the review process.

Hayden discovered that a report had been filed, and they were verifying it, but the process was unusually slow.

Violeta knew the report came from Zelena.

However, Zelena lacked the authority to delay the review, so Violeta suspected someone else was causing the delay. But she couldn't pinpoint who it might be.

Aster's comments gave Violeta a clue.

The only conflict with 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was 'As Soon As We Meet', which Lydia featured in.
