Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

'Hey, guess what? A friend of mine in the industry told me that Violeta purchased the dress she wore tonight. Can you believe it? Buying houte couture on your own, like, seriously?' 'Is she trying to compete with Lydia? Lydia's dress is also a global first wear, but Violeta's trending way ahead of her. No way her team didn't orchestrate this. I mean, come on!' 'She's just a rookie who just entered this industry, but she's already so aggressive. Her ambition is practically written all over her face.'

'Just look at her! You can tell she's not someone to mess with. She's got that 'bad girl' vibe!'

Violeta had just returned to her apartment and finished her shower when she saw the trending topic.

The Clio Charity Night had barely ended, and already, the trending searches were turning into a battlefield against Violeta.

Photos from the red carpet were swiftly released, and the media, with their keen gossip senses far surpassed all netizens, had already dissected every detail of Violeta's houte couture. Tonight, it wasn't just Lydia who was displeased with Violeta. Several other stars in haute couture were also upset.

However, since Violeta wasn't a direct threat to them, they didn't take action.

Violeta was making quite the splash tonight!

Naturally, someone was bound to teach her a lesson.

Lydia orchestrated the trending topic, and Eugene found out quickly.

He called Violeta.

"Hey, Beauty, don't let the trending topic get to you. By tomorrow morning, everything will be clear."

Violeta browsed Facebook on her alternate account and asked, "What's happened?"

Eugene chuckled softly. "Let them make a fuss. The bigger the uproar, the better for us. SEVITL had contacted us about an endorsement deal tonight.

"Initially, they were planning to announce it this week, but with all this commotion, we'll sign the contract tonight and make the official announcement tomorrow morning."

So, the bigger the trending topic, the better the buzz for tomorrow's official announcement.

Previously, Irene had mentioned on the phone that SEVITL's Artea-Pacifica president was very optimistic about Violeta and wanted to collaborate with her.

She didn't expect that the company would contact them so soon.

Violeta knew her mom was behind this.

"Mr. Scott, I'll leave it to you then."

"Just rest assured, Beauty. Go to sleep early. Felix will pick you up at 08:00 AM tomorrow."

"Alright."

The call ended.

Violeta hurriedly dialled Irene's number again.

"Hey, Mom!"

Irene was still awake. She had been monitoring the news on Facebook.

When Violeta called, she immediately picked up.

"Vio, you're still up."

"Mom, you're not asleep either. Did you arrange the SEVITL endorsement for me?"

Irene responded, "I wouldn't say I arranged it. I just made the

connection. It's a one-year contract, but it should fix the current crisis."

BUMS

Violeta wouldn't have secured even a one-year deal without her mom's help.

Connections alone weren't enough in this industry. Violeta's talent and potential were also under scrutiny f she could make significant strides in the fashion world or land a hit drama within the year, the contract could be extended.

Obtaining a year-long endorsement from a leading luxury brand was amazing for a newcomer like Violeta.

There would be a breaking news tomorrow.

Many people would have to eat their words.

"Mom, you're amazing! Thank you."

Irene chuckled. "No need for thanks. As long as I'm here, I won't let them bully you. It's late now, Sweetie. Get some rest." "Okay."

After calling Irene, Violeta set her alarm and went to bed.

The news that was supposed to break in the morning leaked early.

Nobody knew whether the news

leaked early or whether there was an internal leak at SEVITL. The story of Violeta becoming SEVITL's

е

spokesperson was out by 06:00 AM.

IMS

The mocking posts about Violeta from the night before were still fresh.

A sensational headline shot through the early morning like an arrow, catching the attention of journalists starting their day.

This twist, on top of a twist, was unbelievable!

Last night, Violeta had stunned everyone at the Clio Charity Night in her haute couture gown.

However, within the next two hours, the public mocked her on social media.

Now, less than eight hours later, an insider from SEVITL had revealed that Violeta was their new spokesperson?!
