Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 79

Violeta was applying her makeup.

As Kaylee rushed in through the mirror, Violeta smiled and said, "It's normal for so many people to show up after such a promotion."

Kaylee saw Violeta in the mirror and gasped, "Oh my god … "

She noticed that Violeta had flawlessly applied her makeup, with a five-color eye shadow, and every detail, from blush to lip makeup, was flawless.

Kaylee was stunned!

She walked over, gazing at Violeta with admiration. "Vio, you're so beautiful. Even when you're not moving, you still look like a perfectly retouched photo. And the dress you're wearing—oh my god, it's stunning. The gemstones on it are so lifelike and beautiful ... "

Kaylee thought that the dress Violeta was wearing was a high-quality imitation, but she didn't expect it to be an authentic piece with genuine gemstone embellishments, each one worth a fortune.

Violeta was now like a walking treasure!

Violeta said, "My mom gave me this dress. It's truly beautiful, don't you think?"

Kaylee clasped her hands together. "I can already imagine that your mom must be a beautiful woman too!"

"I can't wait to see how breathtaking you'll look when you walk out later. The audience will be amazed! You're simply too beautiful."

As they were talking, the other members of the tennis club walked in, chatting and laughing.

"There are so many people outside. It feels like there are even more than in previous years."

"Yes, there are more people this year … "

"Oh my god!"

"Violeta! So beautiful!"

As soon as the words were spoken, they noticed Violeta, who was doing her hair and makeup. Everyone stood frozen in place, just like Kaylee had moments ago.

Kaylee covered her mouth and giggled. "See, I told you. When you walk out later, the people in the audience will have the same expression."

After recovering from their shock, they approached Violeta, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Violeta used to dress casually and didn't pay much attention to her appearance. She always wore sportswear and played tennis on the court. It was nothing like Zelena's eye-catching outfits.

They were used to seeing Violeta with a natural face, which was beautiful but not as stunning as she looked now.

The current Violeta was truly beautiful, with an aura of unattainability. She was a rare beauty that only appeared once in a millennium!

Kaylee saw the stunned expressions on their faces and said, "Stop staring and go check if the props are ready backstage. Don't delay Violeta's performance later!"

"Okay."

"I can't wait to see the performance later. It's awesome. I want to see who in the audience is blind not to vote for Violeta!"

"Yeah, she doesn't even need to dance. Just walking on the stage like a model would be enough to win."

As they spoke, they headed to the back to check on the props.

Kaylee pulled up a chair and sat next to Violeta, her eyes fixed on her like a devoted fan, observing her makeup up close.

Who knew how Violeta looked from Kaylee's perspective? Mesmerizing!

Just as the floral hairpin was being placed on her forehead, a terrified scream suddenly came from behind.

"Ah!"

Kaylee was startled and almost fell off the chair.

"What are you shouting about?"

Two boys ran out from behind, their faces filled with despair. "We're done. All the props we placed at the back have been soaked! None of them can be used anymore."

"What!? How did this happen?"

Kaylee quickly stood up and ran to the back to see for herself.
