Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 535 Quite a Scandal

Violeta took a two-day break to recuperate at home. During this time, Hayden called her every day, and when he wasn't on the phone with her, he spent his time practicing at the shooting range.

In the meantime...

Winona had sent photos of Davy and Tracy to Davy's wife.

Consequently, Tracy found herself in a difficult position when Davy's wife came to confront her.

Davy didn't show up at the station the following day. There were rumors that his neck was covered in scratch marks.

When Evelina heard about this, she nearly burst into laughter.

"That woman! She had the audacity to cross me when she has dirty laundry. Serves her right."

Jenny added, "Now that she's lost her backing, let's see how long she can maintain that arrogance!"

But neither of them anticipated what happened next.

After just a few days off, Tracy returned to the scene.

Reports from Orange Channel revealed that Davy had decided to divorce his wife!

He chose to leave her for Tracy, and his wife didn't even make a fuss at the station-likely due to embarrassment.

To everyone's astonishment, Tracy emerged as the ultimate victor in this scenario.

Evelina was incredulous.

She hadn't expected Tracy, that cunning woman, to have Davy so thoroughly under her influence.

Although Tracy was back in the limelight, her situation wasn't as ideal as Evelina had presumed.

After dealing with a few urgent matters, Tracy went back on hiatus for reasons that remained unclear to the public. Evelina suspected that Davy's wife had put some pressure on Tracy, forcing her to retreat for a while.

When Violeta heard about the situation, she and Eugene speculated on the matter.

Although they had no solid proof, they both suspected Evelina's involvement.

Eugene sneered, "Evelina's a lunatic. She's just asking for trouble. Wait until Tracy makes her comeback."

If they could figure out Evelina's role in it, Tracy would likely have done the same.

However, what no one expected was Davy's readiness to divorce his wife.

Divorce isn't a trivial matter for a middle-aged couple. Something must have pushed Davy to make such a drastic decision-there had to be more to this story.

Aster, standing nearby, shook her head in disbelief. "Has Evelina lost her mind? She's really taking a huge risk with this stunt. She must have a death wish." Violeta reflected on the situation with Ava and lowered her gaze. "It's not like Tracy has nothing to be ashamed of. She might not target Evelina."

Davy had bought her a house, a second residence outside his marriage.

Tracy knew she wasn't meant to be

in the public eye, and if this scandal came to light, her first thought would be that she had made a mistake, allowing Davy's wife to discover her.

As for Davy's swift decision to divorce, Violeta speculated that his marriage had likely been devoid of love for years.

There had to be another reason that pushed him to choose Tracy so quickly.

A sudden thought crossed her mind. "Does Davy have any children?"

Eugene turned to Aster. "Aster, replace out about that."

After a brief search, Aster reported, "Davy's wife gave him a daughter. She's studying abroad in Poresaint."

Violeta tapped her fingers on the table. "That explains a lot."

Eugene's expression shifted as he realized something important. He looked at Violeta and said, "Could it be that Tracy is pregnant with Davy's child?" Aster's eyes widened.

No way...

That would be quite a scandal.

A week later...

The full cast for The Golden Age was finalized.

Violeta signed her contract, and Kaylee also received some exciting news-Mason had selected her for the project.

Mason had worked with Kaylee before, so despite having three candidates for the role, he ultimately chose her.

Violeta was preparing for her final major event before joining the cast: the 57th White Magnolia Television Awards in Xedon. Dressed to impress, Violeta attended the ceremony in style.

Tracy, who had been on a break, also made an appearance at the awards.

She wore a custom designer gown with a fur wrap, radiating grandeur and sophistication.

Hattie, on

the other hand, stuck to

her usual style. She was originally supposed to walk the red carpet with Alaric, but following his recent scandal, Alaric had withdrawn from the industry altogether.
