Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 373 James Alpine



Violeta had made considerable attempts to meet Wendy.

So, she refused to give up easily.

"I'm not a producer or a scriptwriter, but an actress. I believe you should carefully review this script. If you're busy, please take it and read it whenever you have time."

Ignoring her, Wendy turned and entered the winery.

"You only flipped through it earlier without reading it. This script tackles themes of female revenge and bullying!"

As Violeta expected, Wendy paused upon hearing that.

Given her experiences with bullying and discrimination in high school, Violeta had bet that Wendy would be intrigued by the theme.

Turning around, she gazed at Violeta with interest.

Before she could respond, several supercars approached from behind her.

The celebrities, who had exited the banquet venue, and the man, who had a lovely talk with Wendy, got out of the cars.

Meanwhile, Eugene, who had been left behind, also arrived in his car.

He parked by the roadside and strolled over to Violeta with Aster.

Both groups were now present, but Violeta's side seemed outnumbered.

Leaning against the car, the man from the supercar was dressed casually in black, with striking features.

Everyone's focus, including his, shifted to Violeta when someone approached Wendy and asked in Glorian, "What's going on, Wendy? Is she the media?"

Wendy turned to bow to the man leaning against the car.

Then, she replied in Glorian, "She came to me with a work invitation. Why don't you all go up first, Prince James?"

Eugene and the others didn't understand Glorian.

Violeta, however, noticed that this leading man appeared to have a significant identity. He was possibly among the Glorian royal family members present at the private banquet, which Eugene had mentioned.

Each Glorian female celebrity had a distinct style, with impressive figures and bold fashion choices.

No one else moved as James Alpine remained still.

Turning his attention away from Violeta, he asked Wendy, "What work invitation?"

Wendy had no choice but to explain, "It should be an invitation to film a movie."

"She followed you all the way to here. She seems sincere."

Uncertain how to respond, Wendy hoped Violeta and her group would leave quickly to avoid trouble.

If they enraged the prince, they could face serious consequences. "I've already declined her earlier, as I have other commitments." James was the royal family member who enjoyed fun the most.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

It didn't matter whether Violeta and the others were from the media because news about the royal family would never be leaked. Not only would it not be disclosed, but they might even implicate themselves.

The Glorian media was fully aware of the need to avoid royal affairs.

So, James was interested in Violeta when he saw her.

"Since she's made the effort to come here, it would be disappointing to reject her."

"What do you mean?"

Wendy hadn't planned to accept the script.

But she had no choice if the royal family asked her to do it.

It appeared that James wasn't finished entertaining himself at the private banquet and sought a another sort of entertainment.

He signalled for someone to negotiate.

A representative approached Violeta and her group.

Eugene moved up and engaged in a brief negotiation before the script was taken from Violeta's hand. They then walked towards the car.

Eugene exclaimed, "We're doomed! That man turned out to be Prince James, a well-known royal family member." The previous private gathering hadn't truly ended. They had simply changed locations to continue having fun.

Violeta and the others followed, only to run into James.

Their misstep might easily lead to accusations of offending the royal family and potential expulsion from the country.

Eugene whispered, "Since we

handed over the script, we should

find a way to get away. I heard that Prince James has caused trouble in the entertainment industry. We can't afford to mess with him."

...

Wendy had read a third of the script next to James while he was thinking about a fun idea.

She was pleasantly surprised by its quality.

The themes, plot, and characters resonated deeply with her.
