Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 335 Let It Ring

Even Jaime was cast in the series.

With such a stellar cast, even those who haven't seen Wade's previous works would be drawn to this series.

Zelena scrolled through the comment section and then went to the official Apex Entertainment page.

"Violeta signed with Apex Entertainment?"

Zelena was taken aback.

In her previous life, Violeta had not signed with Apex Entertainment but with the same company as Nolan, Marina Media.

But now, Violeta's path has changed in this life.

She wondered if her rebirth had caused a shift in Violeta's life as well.

Before Zelena could think further, her phone suddenly rang.

It was Hattie calling.

Ha, Hattie must have seen the trending news about Violeta's debut and was getting anxious!

Zelena looked at her name with disdain.

How many times have I tried to contact you? I called you more than fifteen or twenty times.

Hattie had ignored her calls and treated Zelena coldly.

Now the tables had turned, and Hattie was the one reaching out. But, Zelena had no intention of answering her call.

She didn't hang up or pick up, letting the call ring until it disconnected on its own.

Meanwhile, Hattie was in her van.

She stared at the automatically disconnected call and frowned.

"Zelena's not answering my calls now? Hmph!"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Hattie, she did try to call you many times before. Maybe she's holding a grudge," her assistant said.

Hattie tossed her phone to the assistant. "Keep calling her until she answers!"

"Hmph, who is she to hold a grudge against me? If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have gotten the script for 'Spring Isn't Blooming."" Although the buzz for 'Spring Isn't Blooming' was quickly overshadowed by Violeta's news.

Hattie had taken notice of it.

She knew Zelena had successfully secured the lead role.

Hattie had expected 'Spring Isn't Blooming' to be aired on Cosmos Channel.

It was a drama that could be swayed with money. If Zelena hadn't gotten the role, she wouldn't be worthy of being her friend.

Now that Zelena had the role, she had truly gained entry into the industry.

The assistant, following Hattie's instructions, continued calling Zelena relentlessly.

On the eighth call, Zelena finally answered lazily.

"Hello."

The assistant, losing patience, quickly informed Hattie, "Hattie, she picked up."

Hattie took the phone. "It's me."

Zelena chuckled. "Oh, it's you, Hattie. I wondered who kept calling me. Sorry, I was eating and didn't hear the phone."

Hah.

What an excuse. Only a fool would believe it.

Hattie knew Zelena was doing this because she had ignored Zelena's calls before.

She wasn't bothered about Zelena's attitude.

"I'm calling to congratulate you. I heard you got the role."

"Hattie, your news is outdated. I got the role a while ago. It was just announced yesterday. Honestly, didn't want to promote it, but couldn't stop the production team," Zelena said.

Hattie rolled her eyes. "Now that you have the role, make sure to perform well. Let's see if you can compete for next year's Best Newcomer Award.

"Oh, by the way, did you hear about Violeta's debut?"

Zelena was annoyed. "Who wouldn't know about it with all the buzz?"

Hattie asked, "Didn't you know that she signed with Apex?"

Since Zelena had been expelled from Toland University, she had no idea about Violeta's recent developments. Besides, Violeta's current track was different from

what Zelena remembered. Content

Hattie, not concerned with school matters, was unaware of Zelena's expulsion.

Zelena replied irritably, "Come on, I'm not a mind reader. How would know everything about her? So what if she signed with Apex? She would sign with some other company if she wasn't with Apex."

Though blunt, it was the truth.

However, with 'The Moon Belongs To You' nearing its release date, Hattie was worried that the hype for 'The Quiet Ode' would overshadow it.

She could only hope that Violeta's popularity would be short-lived.

Zelena suddenly remembered something and smirked. "Oh, Hattie, there's something else."

"What is it?"

Feigning ignorance, Zelena asked, "Are you sure Violeta is really the White's illegitimate daughter?"

Hattie frowned. "Of course. Why would I lie? It had been confirmed a while ago. Why don't you believe it yet?"
