Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 463

Did Violeta truly understand me?

Did all my actions anticipate Violeta?

My back injury couldn't have been a coincidence.

The more Zelena thought about it, the more confused she became. She felt like she must have been drunk.

She glanced at Violeta, who was quietly chatting with Wade not far away.

Was this person still the same respectful and loving girl she remembered?

After Zelena finished filming, 'The Chosen One' finally aired.

She and the entire cast participated in offline promotions.

Meanwhile, Hattie had also finished filming 'Firelight'. The two met again after almost six months, and both had undergone some changes.

Hattie smirked. "I heard you fell off a horse and hurt your back when filming a series."

Zelena shot her a cold glance and retorted, "I heard you had quite the 'fun' while filming your series too."

During the filming of 'Firelight', the media captured some intimate photos of Hattie and the lead actor, Alaric, in a car.

Their teams quickly released statements to clarify the situation.

However, rumours still spread online that Hattie and Alaric were in a relationship. People said the photos were more than just coincidences, implying their interactions on set were far from innocent.

Such rumours, whether true or not, can occasionally benefit a show.

'Firelight' was a romantic drama, and Hattie and Alaric were the lead couple.

If there was no real chemistry between them, how could their fans ship them?

Hence, it wasn't unreasonable to think the scandalous photos and relationship rumours might have been intentionally stirred up.

It's hard to tell what's truly going on.

Given what Zelena knew about Hattie, she suspected these rumours weren't completely false.

When Hattie filmed 'The Moon Belongs to You' with Jacques, there were no such rumours despite their on-screen romance.

After the show's buzz died down, there was no further interaction between their teams.

Hattie's expression briefly flickered at Zelena's words, but she quickly masked it.

Zelena closed her eyes and let the makeup artist work, missing Hattie's brief unease.

They argued fiercely backstage, neither willing to back down.
