Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Violeta had great confidence in the script of 'Nirvana and Rebirth'. She even arranged for a Glorian translator to sign a confidentiality agreement and translate it in advance so she could show it to Wendy. Wendy was the director Violeta had in mind.

She was the one and only choice.

After hanging up the call, Violeta took a sip of water and continued with the shooting.

However, by the time the shooting was over, she still hadn't received a call from Eugene. She was beginning to worry that he might have encountered difficulties.

Once the shooting was finished, Aster loaded the items into the car and shut the door.

Violeta asked, "Has Mr. Scott called back yet?"

Aster shook his head and replied, "No. Ms. White, should we head back to the hotel?"

Violeta lowered her gaze slightly and looked out the car window.

"Let's go back first.

"Drive on."

On their way back to the hotel, Eugene finally returned the call.

Violeta answered quickly, "Mr. Scott, did you manage to see Wendy?"

"No. I've found out where she is, but the staff won't let me in, so I'm waiting for her outside."

Eugene had no connections in Glorialand, so his success in tracking down Wendy was particularly impressive.

Their stay in Glorialand was limited to the next few days.

If they couldn't finalise the collaboration with Wendy during this period, Violeta's upcoming plans would be delayed.

Therefore, they needed to secure the deal with Wendy before the shooting in Glorialand ended.

Violeta quickly decided to meet up with Eugene. "Mr. Scott, send me the address. I'm heading over now."

"Sure."

Eugene promptly sent the address, and Felix drove them there.

Upon arrival, Violeta got out of her car and got into Eugene's.

They were outside a private open-air event venue where many Glorialand artists and high-society figures were present inside.

The security was quite stringent, as they only allowed entry to those with an invitation.

Eugene glanced at the fenced-off venue and said, "I heard there are members of the Glorian royal family at this event. There's no way we can sneak in, so we'll have to wait out here."

The Glorian royal family members were quite prestigious. They were the kind of figures to whom ordinary folks would need to bow in their presence.

Violeta asked, "Mr. Scott, how did you find out about this place?"

Eugene replied, "Even though I'm not familiar with the artists from Glorialand, I asked around through some contacts and discovered that Wendy was attending a private event today, so I came here." "Beauty, I'm not sure I should tell you something."

Violeta replied, "Go ahead."

Eugene said, "To be frank, the

chances of getting Wendy to shoot

'Nirvana and Rebirth' are slim. My friend told me that Wendy is preparing her new movie and wil start auditions for it next week. In other words, she's about to start filming her own movie. Everything is already set up, so it will be hard for us to sway her with just a few words."

Making a film required extensive preparatory work, which demanded a great deal of time and effort.

It was likely that Wendy took great pride in her work and wouldn't be easily persuaded by Violeta.

After all, everyone prioritised their own interests above all else.

Even if Wendy found the script for 'Nirvana and Rebirth' appealing, she probably wouldn't agree to abandon her new movie project, which was already in the works, to shoot 'Nirvana and Rebirth'. The likelihood was very low.

Violeta asked with curiosity, "Mr. Scott, if you believe the likelihood of Wendy agreeing to help us is very low, why did you agree to help me? Why go through all this trouble to stake out here?"

Eugene smiled and replied, "I'm your

manager. Since it's something you want to do, of course I'm going to help you. Even if the chances are slim, trying still gives us a shot at success. If we don't try, it's a guaranteed failure."

Violeta responded, "Thank you."

Eugene chuckled. "No need to thank me. After all these years in the entertainment industry, I've seen plenty of people going out of their way to get what they want. It's just another day in the business no risk, no reward!"

Aster interrupted them, "They're coming out now! The party has ended!"

The two quickly turned their attention to the door, where they saw people dressed in low-key outfits leaving the venue.

The casually dressed Wendy was walking towards the exit, chatting and laughing with another man.

"They're out. Let's get out of the car quickly," Aster said eagerly.

"Wait."

"Don't rush. With so many people around, we will just get stopped if we try to approach her now. Let's wait until Wendy gets in the car, and then we can follow her vehicle and see what we can do." Aster nodded and shut the car door as Violeta had suggested.

Violeta stopped her.
