Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 600 Return to Apex Entertainment

Hayden took his time to clarify, "She's the child of a former soldier from the unit and was born unable to speak. She used to prepare meals for the soldiers, but she left the unit for some reason. So, I asked her to cook for us at home."

Violeta acknowledged, "Oh, I got it."

Hayden inquired, "Are you not fond of her? If that's the case, I can make other arrangements for her."

Violeta responded, "It's not that I have a problem with it. I just needed more information about having another person here. I don't mind it."

Hayden assured her, "I'm glad to hear that. You can be sure she's reliable at home."

"Really?" Violeta asked curiously.

"Yes. Hilary was raised in the military from a young age. She has excellent observational skills and is very dependable."

Even though Liberty Grove's security system was now quite thorough and regular patrols were conducted at the entrance, Violeta had been seen there before.

It was widely known that she lived there.

Given Hayden's special status now, he needed to have some reliable individuals around him for extra security, just to be safe.

If she was spotted again or if anything unusual happened, Hilary would be able to handle the situation.

Violeta nodded, acknowledging Hayden's explanation.

He was quite considerate.

Being a celebrity, Violeta was accustomed to being photographed.

However, now that she was back in Quinston, it was wise to be careful to avoid causing any issues for Hayden.

The following day, Violeta returned to the company after a two-year absence.

Eugene was waiting for her in the lounge.

When the paparazzi who often hung around outside the Apex Entertainment building saw Violeta arrive, they quickly pulled out their cameras to take photos.

Violeta walked into the lounge and called out, "Mr. Scott."

Eugene was occupied with planning the schedule for the coming year.

"Here you go, Beauty. These are the plans we have for the next year. Please review them."

Violeta was aware that joining the team meant a heavy workload, but she hadn't anticipated it being this extensive. As she skimmed through the list, she realized that the upcoming year would be packed with filming.

However, once she sat down, she

said, "Mr. Scott, I intend to take an et

two-month break after the New

Year Let's go over the schedules once I've had some rest."

Eugene had expected this response from her.

"Considering you've just wrapped up filming, I agree. It's important for you to rest first. There's no need to rush into work."

At that moment, Lance opened the

door and walked in. Noticing Violeta,

he exclaimed with enthusiasm, "I

was curious why there were so many more paparazzi downstairs. It's because our big star haso returned!"

Violeta glanced at Lance Sowle and offered a small smile. "Hi, Mr. Sowle."

Lance carried a glass of water. "Feel free to call me Lance. I just came to check things out. You all go ahead with what you're doing."

After saying this, Lance shut the door and walked away.

Eugene looked around. "While you were gone, Tracy and Evelina had a big argument. Evelina is nearly become an A-list celebrity now.

"After the airing of her new TV series with Zelena, The River's Breeze, the viewership ratings were quite impressive, securing the top spot for that period." Zelena had been popular for a long time.

The TV series The River's Breeze also had excellent production values.

Evelina's fanbase mainly consists of younger viewers, and with the New Year approaching, the viewership is particularly high, making it unsurprising that she has risen to the top.

Violeta wasn't very surprised.

Eugene said, "Eau Amore is still waiting for you to replace time to film the promotional video."

Violeta replied, "This is a resource that the Ridges secured for me, a free offer."

Eugene added, "If Eau Amore doesn't reveal the spokesperson soon, Tracy will get worried. She has always believed she is Eau Amore's chosen spokesperson." Violeta said, "Let's wait until after the New Year. Let's celebrate first and then discuss it."

Eugene responded, "Alright, I'll reach out to confirm the schedule. By the way, the Spring Gala organizers have extended an invitation to you."

Violeta replied, "No, I'd rather just take some time to relax."

Eugene nodded in agreement, showing no signs of disagreement.

Then, recalling something, he asked, "Beauty, I heard your mom was the chief editor of the Spring Gala last year?"

Violeta responded, "Oh? I'm not sure, maybe. I don't really keep up with my mom's work, haha."

Irene and Anton each live in their own little worlds.
