Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Josh and Sharon made a poor impression on Anton and Irene during their first meeting.

Following that encounter, Anton cut off all ties with the Blake Group.

Consequently, the Blake Group faced financial losses, and their business struggled to maintain its previous success.

Despite that, their strong foundation allowed them to retain their status as one of the leading families in Arlowand, maintaining significant influence.

That influence enabled them to offer support when their daughter was in need.

Aster was puzzled. "Here is the company. There could be reporters hiding outside. What could their real intentions be?"

Violeta responded calmly, "Let's find out."

When she approached Josh and Sharon, she got straight to the point, "What brings you here?"

Upon seeing Violeta, Sharon adjusted her clothes and said with seriousness, "Look, Josh, things have changed. She no longer addresses us as she used to."

Violeta smiled slightly. "I don't think you're expecting me to address you like that. I'm on a tight schedule. If you have something to discuss, please be quick."

Josh cleared his throat and began, "Vio, after the incident at university, we looked into things and realized we were mistaken in accusing you. We came to check on you and make sure you're doing well.

"We tried to see you in person, but the receptionist told us you weren't here. Luckily, we didn't take that at face value and waited for you."

Their sudden concern surprised Violeta.

In her previous life, she might have felt grateful for their unexpected care and would have let go of past grievances.

But she was no longer who she was now.

From Josh and Sharon's expressions, it was clear they weren't acting with genuine intentions.

The incident at the university was long past. If they truly wanted to apologize, they would have done so already.

Why did they wait until now?

Was there no access between Arlowand and Quinston? Did they lack ways to contact her?

Or did they want to deceive her with family affections and reconcile?

Unmoved, Violeta lowered her eyes slightly. "I'm fine, only busy with work. Now that you two have seen me, you may leave." With that, she turned to walk away.

However, as soon as she moved, Josh and Sharon stood up and called after her, "Vio! We have one more thing."

As expected, they had another purpose. Violeta stopped and turned back. "If you have more to say, just go ahead."

Sharon stepped forward and said, "We came to invest in something. We're having dinner with the producer tonight."

Josh nodded. "Yes, Lena told us about 'The Chosen One'. She said it's a great opportunity for her career. We're here to support her."

Violeta remained unmoved. "And then?"

Sharon and Josh exchanged glances before continuing, "Since you're in a hurry, we'll be direct. Lena mentioned you were interested in this drama too."

Josh added, "You're doing so well now, having won the Best Supporting Actress Award. You don't need this script, but Lena can't miss this chance. So, we're asking you to give up the script and let Lena take

it.

Sharon chimed in, "Yes, we only have one daughter. We owe her so much from when she was younger This is our way of making up for it. You have other opportunities, so please let your sister have this one."

Aster was stunned.

What did they mean by giving the opportunity to Zelena?

QUMS

The entertainment industry was all about seizing opportunities and resources.

Violeta didn't even take the opportunity initially. Even if she did, why should she hand it over to someone else? It seemed unfair.

Aster wanted to speak up for Violeta, but Violeta stopped her.

Violeta smiled at Josh and Sharon. "Is there anything else?"

Believing she had agreed, Josh and Sharon quickly added, "Yes, there's one more thing. Lena doesn't have many connections or friends in

Quinston. As her sister, you should look out for her. The entertainment

industry is tough, and she needs more support and connections. It would help if you could introduce her to some good resources."
