Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 448

Violeta replied, "I know."

Aster responded in bewilderment, "What? You knew about this?"

Violeta exhaled a sigh. She was no stranger to the taste of sleeping pills.

In her previous life, she often took them when she was anxious and couldn't sleep. She also used painkillers for her aches. These two were the drugs she knew best.

By the later stages of her past life, she had developed a tolerance to sleeping pills, but she couldn't sleep without taking them.

Aster said, "I didn't know those were sleeping pills. Ms. White, you still took them even though you knew they were sleeping pills?"

Violeta responded, "I can't sleep well while filming, so it doesn't hurt to take a couple of pills occasionally. Besides, if I don't take them, how can I drive a wedge between them?"

Aster was puzzled by her response.

Violeta didn't elaborate further and entered the trailer with her hands in her pockets.

I recognize sleeping pills because I've taken them so often. But how would Nolan know about them? Does he suffer from insomnia as well?

The situation remained under Violeta's control.

Due to the incident of Violeta taking sleeping pills on the day of the night shoot, the filming schedule was pushed back. Consequently, the subsequent two weeks were focused on shooting Violeta and Nolan's scenes.

With no work for Zelena in Riverton, staying was a waste of time for her.

She then followed the assistant director to another location for outdoor filming.

Consequently, Zelena was forced to leave Riverton and Nolan.

Nolan was aware that Zelena had deliberately given Violeta sleeping pills, which led to his growing mistrust of Zelena.

In her previous life, Violeta couldn't change the situation.

However, she never believed Zelena deserved Nolan. Therefore, she was determined to ensure Zelena wouldn't end up with him.

The sleeping pill incident diminished Nolan's view of Zelena's character. Subsequently, it significantly reduced their chances of being together as a couple.

Time flew by during the intense filming period. With no interruptions from Zelena, the filming progress accelerated considerably.

A month later, Zelena was back in Riverton.

After Zelena returned, they began filming a scene featuring a diplomatic meeting between Valoria and Branholm, which included a horse riding scene.

The crew had even arranged for a professional instructor to teach the extras and some supporting actors to ride horses.
