Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 623

When Eugene brought the matter up with Lance, Lance was visibly surprised.

"Didn't you explain to her the value of these two scripts?"

"Of course I did. But Beauty said you have to give up something to gain something. There are too many good scripts out there; you can't grab them all. It's important not to be too greedy."

Lance frowned. "Does Violeta really believe in Wind Harbor that much?"

"Probably. She's someone who loves a challenge, and romance dramas don't challenge her at all."

"But this drama might never even make it to air. It's a big risk."

Eugene smiled knowingly. "As they say, fortune favors the bold. High risk, high return. Have you forgotten about 'Nirvana and Rebirth'?"

Lance hesitated for a moment, noticing Eugene's widening grin.

"We've got people in high places."

Since Violeta turned it down, the lead role in Summer with You went to Evelina.

Just as Eugene predicted, Evelina barely needed to finish reading the script. As soon as she heard that Jacques was starring, she took the role.

Violeta's team was satisfied.

Evelina's team was thrilled.

The only person who wasn't happy was the second female lead, Susan. She had been looking forward to working with Violeta, and when Violeta declined Summer with You, she was disappointed.

However, her feelings didn't matter—no one in the company cared.

When Evelina found out that Summer with You was a script Violeta had passed on, her first reaction wasn't relief, but suspicion.

"She must be in a relationship, and that's why she's not taking on a romance drama."

After all, a man who can afford an Audi A8 must be quite the catch.

And how many men can tolerate their girlfriends getting cozy with another man on screen?

"It's not a wise decision to give up her career for a man," Winona said.

Jenny chimed in, "Isn't Violeta the heiress of the White Group? It's great if she has ambition, if not, that's normal too. If I were her, I'd be shopping every day, filling an entire wall with luxury bags."
