Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



Fiona's husband pondered for a moment before speaking, "You've spent so much effort in the business and even had your family support us. We can't possibly repay this kindness."

Violeta smiled gently and said, "I never expected you to repay me. You helped me when no one else did during my hardest times."

They were puzzled. "Violeta, when did we help you? We don't remember."

Violeta replied, "You may not remember, but I do."

"Quit pursuading me. I'm returning the café's ownership to you."

Violeta knew the couple would feel guilty about taking back the café. Both of them were decent people, and they would feel indebted to her.

So she added, "You know the White Group belongs to my family. After the group invests, they will take 40% of the annual profits. You should stop hesitating. Although I'm stepping back, I'll still receive dividends from my profits. After all, what's my family's is mine too."

This way, the Sunset Café would essentially continue working for Violeta in a different manner.

The couple could accept this arrangement without guilt. They finally agreed to Violeta's plan.

This meant that when Sunset Café began to expand, Violeta had already withdrew herself from the business.

She no longer had any connection to the café. Naturally, she wasn't the owner.

However, Zelena was unaware of this.

She thought that undermining the café with Violeta was a perfect plan.

It never occurred to her that she had been wrong from the start.

Violeta had severed ties with the café years ago.

Only early promotions used the life-sized cutouts of Violeta to quickly leverage her popularity and open the market. They had long been removed.

Violeta and the café had no connection at all.

The trending hashtag was completely unfounded.

Violeta was wronged.

When everyone learned that Violeta had no connection with the café, their reactions were priceless.

Nolan remarked, "No wonder you've been calm since the incident. You have nothing to do with the café."

Violeta responded, "Thank you for defending me earlier."

Nolan smiled faintly and said, "I was happy to do it."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

At that moment, his gaze turned somewhat intense.

Violeta felt a bit uneasy and looked away.

The producer also snapped out of his trance. He said, "So, we just need to clarify this immediately, and the crisis is over! No, it wasn't our crisis at all Viola had nothing to do with the café."

The director exclaimed, "This is fantastic! The people stirring up trouble online are truly malicious!" Violeta looked down.

Indeed.

If I didn't know Zelena so well, I wouldn't have gotten through this crisis unscathed.

Zelena, is this your retaliation?

But it's far from enough.

Violeta said, "I already asked my manager to issue a statement. It should be out by now."

After finishing her call with Eugene, Violeta immediately told him she had no connection with the café and asked him to get a lawyer to draft a statement.

Eugene acted swiftly.

He was already on it.

Violeta's studio also released a statement.

They hoped the baseless trending topics would stop being associated with Violeta. She had no connection with Sunset Café.

The studio had already collected evidence against some of the marketing accounts spreading rumors. If they continued, they would meet in court. Zelena had hoped that this incident would make Violeta fall hard.

But she didn't expect this outcome.

Violeta had absolutely no ties to Sunset Café.

Most inte users didn't doubt Violeta's role as the hidden boss que to the initial trending topic. The trend grew too fast, and everyone was just following the hype.

Once the studio released its statement, some people checked the business registry.

The Sunset Café's legal representative was a woman named Fiona, not Violeta!

Violeta was truly an innocent bystander this time.

Zelena couldn't believe it and repeatedly checked the business registry for the corporate representative and major shareholders.

She nearly went insane and gritted her teeth in disbelief. "How could this be? How is it possible for that bitch to not have any shares in the business? She's not the owner? How is this possible?"
