Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 494 Evelina and Alaric's Relationship

Some brands are beginning to collaborate with new artists.

Meanwhile, just when Zelena was preparing to confront Hattie, another major trendy search took over the charts.

'Evelina Drayton revealed that her boyfriend, Alaric Thornton, was having an affair.'

This trendy search didn't appear out of nowhere.

After Evelina's Facebook post at 2 p.m., it rapidly rose to the top of the charts, catching the attention of internet users.

Zelena was stunned when she saw this trending search at the hospital.

In her mind, she quickly wondered. Who is Evelina Drayton?

She barely remembered this relatively unknown actress until the movie 'The Lies in Winter' came to mind, and then she realised Evelina was the female lead in it. Evelina is dating Alaric?

So, what's the connection between Alaric and Hattie?

Zelena initially intended to use the photos to blackmail Hattie, but this issue completely threw off her strategy.

In that case, she decided to wait and see what would happen.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Violeta had just wrapped up filming the new banner advertisement for biscuits in the studio.

Aster indulged herself with a basket of sample cookies.

Sitting in a corner, she surfed the internet while munching on the cookies. When she saw the trending news, her eyes widened in surprise, her reaction mirroring that of Zelena. Evelina and Alaric ... are a couple?

In her lengthy post, Evelina detailed that she and Alaric had been together for seven years, dating from high school, through college, and now into their professional lives. Initially, they supported each other and made their debut together.

But unexpectedly, starting last month, Alaric began ignoring her messages, showing a lack of warmth, and Evelina even discovered women's items at his place.

She wasn't naive and quickly grasped the situation. She had been betrayed.

After some consideration, she chose to reveal this betrayal.

She wrote a lengthy post on Facebook to expose the sc*mbag.

Once Violeta finished her filming, Aster quickly stood up and said, "Ms. White, there's another major scandal."

Violeta, feeling anxious, asked, "What's happening?"

Aster replied with excitement, "Evelina and Alaric are in a relationship! They've been together for seven years, even through a long-distance relationship!" Violeta was momentarily taken aback. "Evelina..."

In her mind, she quickly remembered the recent announcement of a new movie, featuring the face of an innocent girl.

"Did they announce it?" Violeta asked.

"No, Evelina revealed Alaric's affair!"

Violeta remained silent.

Aster eagerly explained the details of the Facebook post to Violeta.

Violeta's memories became clearer.

She recalled her previous doubts.

If Alaric keeps progressing as he is now, his future is sure to be promising.

So why doesn't she remember Alaric very well?

Even though there have been some changes in this lifetime, celebrities who make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry are usually famous, even if Violeta hasn't met them personally.

Alaric didn't make a lasting impression on her. So, it's either he left the entertainment industry partway through or he was just a brief sensation.

In Violeta's previous life, something must have occurred that led to his early death.

As Violeta was reflecting on this,

Aster read the entire lengthy textet

and then leaned in to quietly ask her, "Ms. White, what are your thoughts on his lover?"

Violeta blinked and responded, "What's your opinion?"

Aster's eyes brightened as she replied, "You share my thoughts!"

Lately, the promotional campaign for 'Firelight' has become very popular online.

The most notable promotion was the one involving Alaric and Hattie.

Additionally, Aster had previously seen Alaric waiting for someone in the parking lot.

Even though Violeta didn't have any proof, a bit of creative thinking could suggest a connection between Alaric and Hattie.

It's unclear whether Hattie is aware that Alaric is already involved with someone this time.

If she isn't aware, then she might also be a victim in this situation.

If Hattie is aware, then she truly deserves the consequences she faces.

Once Evelina's lengthy post reached the top trendy search, it began to make an impact.

Alaric's Facebook comments section was hacked and taken over.

Notably, aside from advertisements, the top five posts on his Facebook were all about the couple's promotion of 'Firelight' featuring Hattie.
