Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 639

Ophelia didn't expect that the truth couldn't stay hidden forever.

When she saw the trending news, she shook uncontrollably and fainted.

Meanwhile, Violeta was posing for a magazine cover. Nearby, two makeup artists were chatting about the scandal with Aster.

Upon hearing that, Violeta couldn't help but link the incident to Zelena.

Could Ophelia have taken the fall for me?

She turned to Aster and said, "Aster, bring me my phone."

Aster replied, "Okay."

Violeta checked her phone and found the trending news quite intriguing. Online discussions were mocking Ophelia for being almost 40 and involved in such a scandalous situation.

Scandals like this wouldn't pop up out of nowhere. Why was Ophelia being targeted?

Additionally, someone from a particular club took advantage of the trending news, reinforcing the belief that the scandal was true.

In reality, the scandal was genuine, but the club was merely seeking attention.

When those two issues were combined, it all started to make sense. There were even rumors online about AI-generated nude images resembling Ophelia.

For a female actress, it was a devastating blow.

For any woman, especially an actress, it was a crushing blow.

Violeta became increasingly serious when she read it.

She knew Ophelia wasn't the type to engage in such behavior. Why was that happening?

Ophelia had no reason to risk her career. Even if her personal life was chaotic, she wouldn't engage in such actions at a fashion event unless she had lost her mind.

The whole situation seemed too outrageous.

Ironically, Ophelia's misfortune could benefit Violeta by removing a major competitor for the Golden Rooster Awards.

But instead of feeling fortunate, Violeta felt sorrow.

She sympathized with Ophelia, knowing that such public scrutiny could be unbearable for someone with a fragile emotional state.

The whole situation didn't fit Ophelia's character, suggesting she might have been drugged that night.
