Aster said, "Ms. White, you still remember Evelina? I heard from Eugene the other day that Winona took another leave from the company. Apparently, Evelina went for a medical check-up.
"With a body that's just skin and bones, it's definitely time for her to get a check-up. I suspect she has anorexia. She's so thin, like she just doesn't eat."
Violeta quietly assessed the situation in her mind.
It seems that Evelina has been worshipping the evil spirit for quite some time.
She is getting thinner and thinner, which means that the thing has begun to absorb her essence.
Essence was the source of life. If the essence was damaged, the harm would be serious.
However, none of this was her concern.
Violeta handed her cup to Aster.
"I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me when we get to the hotel."
"Sure."
The internet was buzzing, and the film's promotional clips were going viral.
In the middle of the month, The Golden Ages finally premiered, and it was a massive success.
On the first day of its release, the number of viewers surpassed ten million, with total box office earnings exceeding 90 million!
If this trend continued, these figures were likely to break the record for the highest box office earnings in the domestic entertainment industry.
Violeta and Chad's names frequently topped the trending charts.
They had become the pride of Apex Entertainment. And Apex had never had a number one male actor, Chad was the first.
Their large promotional posters were transformed into celebratory graphics by the official The Golden Ages' Twitter account.
The film's success also elevated its supporting cast, including Kaylee, whose portrayal of the innkeeper's daughter left a lasting impression on audiences.
As The Golden Ages skyrocketed in popularity, news of Evelina's hospitalization quietly surfaced.
After all, she had been in the hospital for quite some time, and no matter how much they tried to conceal it, the truth was bound to come out.
With such an extended absence from work, the company would inevitably approach Winona for an explanation.
They couldn't allow Evelina to remain on hiatus indefinitely.
Reluctantly, Winona had to inform the company about Evelina's hospitalization and the diagnosis of the tumor.
