Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 691 A Wedding and a Downfall





Given the sheer size of the diamond, Violeta would not wear the ring daily, so it was also designed as a pendant. If she ever chose not to wear it, she could hang it around her neck as a stunning pink diamond necklace, still radiant and eye-catching.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The wedding was intimate yet exquisite, inviting only close friends and family members.

Violeta specifically requested this; she wanted her wedding to be simple and free of unnecessary guests. The Frosts were naturally low-key, so Glen fully supported Violeta's idea. Given Hayden's current position, a lavish affair wasn't appropriate.

Irene agreed to keep the wedding modest but insisted that everything be elegant and refined. This was her bottom line for her daughter's wedding. Therefore, while the event wasn't grand, everything was lavishly beautiful, almost like a fairy tale.

When the Whites married off their daughter, it truly felt like a princess was getting wed.

Irene adored Violeta like her precious treasure. She didn't need to be hands-on, yet she spent countless nights preparing for Violeta's wedding, even moving to Wiltonshire a month in advance to decorate the church.

Watching her daughter get married, Irene's eyes glistened with tears as she leaned on Anton's shoulder.

Under the priest's witness, Violeta and Hayden made vows to spend their lives together, and everyone in attendance wore beaming smiles.

Many guests took photos during the wedding; there was no way to keep it a secret.

Pictures from the ceremony spread like wildfire on Twitter, sparking discussions and trending for a week.

After getting married, Violeta took a vacation, spending half a month traveling abroad with Hayden.

Some people were filled with joy, while others wore frowns.

They were both in Wiltonshire, but while Violeta was soaring high, Evelina's situation was dire.

Evelina had scheduled her surgery with Henry, but the date had been postponed. She initially thought she would be able to have her surgery after a month. Still, when the new appointment came, Henry delayed it again!

The second postponement pushed her surgery back two months.

Over three months, Evelina's health deteriorated further.

They had to seek other doctors with no way to file a complaint. However, no other doctors were willing to take her case due to the delays in her treatment and with the word out that Evelina was a patient Henry didn't want.

Evelina had lost so much weight that she was almost unrecognizable, and her life was hung by a thread.

Henry had initially promised to

perform the surgery due to Jasper's recommendation. Now, he was unwilling to help her and

l

continuously postponed the surgery. This was all part of Jasper's intentions.

Evelina was the architect of her own misfortune. Had she not made

things difficult for Violeta before, Jasper Wouldn't have turned a blind eye and abandoned her in her time

of need, even neglecting

fundamental humanitarian

concerns.

As Evelina's condition worsened, Winona, Jenny, and Shania naturally couldn't stay by Evelina's side forever.

For their own futures, they needed to find other paths.

Consequently, Winona secretly sold off some properties Evelina had acquired in Quinston and pocketed a substantial sum.

Jenny and Shania took over many of the luxury items Evelina had bought, planning to sell them to gather enough money to return home and live a comfortable life.

All of this was done behind Evelina's back.

If anyone were to blame, it would be

Evelina herself, who had only ever

surrounded herself with Winona and

her sisters since entering the

e

industry. Most of her assets were

alse controlled by Winona.

"Since you don't like the persona I've crafted, I'll just delete it," she had said, unaware of the real intentions behind her friends' actions.

Winona made an excuse to return to their home country, leaving Evelina behind in Wiltonshire.

Her first order of business upon returning was to hand in her resignation.

Over the years, she saved a lot of money and even took some of Evelina's funds. Now, she had enough to live comfortably without needing to work anymore.

Apex didn't hold back Winona at all. They didn't keep artists who wanted to leave, let alone a manager.

After staying with Evelina for another half month, Jenny and Shania suddenly vanished one day without a word.

They didn't even tell Evelina they were leaving.

Once Violeta was married, she finally received two prestigious invitations to film projects.

Thanks to Mason, Violeta had risen to greater heights, standing on the shoulders of those who supported her.
