Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 678 Best Actress Award





As the clips on the big screen finished playing, a strong sense of fate lingered in the air with the final drumbeats.

Violeta cast her gaze slightly toward the direction of Nolan. He was looking up at the screen, half of his face caught in the play of light and shadow. The sharp lines of his prominent nose exuded a certain elegance, and even his hair seemed to carry an air of detachment.

"Vio, who do you think will win Best Actor?"

"Hmm?" Violeta subtly averted her gaze, smiling lightly. "I'm not sure."

Kaylee chimed in, "I hope it's Chad. After two years of hard work, he deserves it."

Violeta nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's true."

Anyone would do, anyone would be fine.

As the drumbeats gradually faded away, the lights returned to normal, and the two presenters on stage prepared to announce the winner.

"There were so many outstanding films last year! Now it's time to announce the results! You go ahead."

"Alright, I'll take it from here."

The presenter on stage slowly opened the envelope. Upon seeing the result, a bright smile spread across his face as his gaze shifted to the row of The Golden Ages team.

In a powerful voice, he announced, "The award for Best Actor goes to ...

"The Golden Ages's Chad Howell!"

Clap, clap, clap.

Cheers erupted, accompanied by the sound of drums and flashing lights.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Amid the cheers, Chad stood up, embracing those around him. Violeta leaned in slightly to share a hug. "Congratulations, Chad!" "Thank you."

He was overwhelmed with emotion as he made his way to the stage to accept his award.

After nearly a decade in the industry, this recognition as Best Actor was well-deserved.

On stage, with his eyes glistening, Chad expressed his gratitude to the entire The Golden Ages team, especially thanking Director Mason Clarke.

Amid the thunderous applause, he took the stage and descended alongside the two presenters.

The Golden Ages team had enjoyed a remarkably successful evening, already securing four awards.

If Violeta and Kaylee also managed to win awards, they would undeniably be the biggest winners of the night, walking away with at least six trophies. Next up was the announcement for Best Supporting Actor.

Of all the awards, Kaylee looked forward to this one the most. She hoped the veteran actor, Ronan Wilder, would take home the prize for his role as her father in the film.

Today, he wore a stylish silver-and-black hairstyle paired with a tailored black suit, exuding a mature and powerful presence. Each line on his face bore the marks of time, telling a story of his experiences.

The group they formed was reminiscent of a distinguished family, making for a striking sight.

The stage welcomed a new pair of presenters to announce the next award.

"And the winner of this year's Best Supporting Actor is ... Oh, it's my old friend! Haha, Ronan Wilder!"

"That's amazing, Dad!"

Kaylee turned excitedly and embraced Ronan.

He returned the hug before heading to the stage to accept his award.

With this win, The Golden Ages team had now secured five trophies! What a night for them to shine.

Hattie was in the audience,

glanced

et

the next door when the camera wasn't covering her, then quickly looked away.

D*mn it!

Would The Golden Ages team sweep the major awards tonight?

If they did, wouldn't that ruin my chances of winning Best Actress?

After Ronan accepted his award and exited the stage, the presenters continued to announce the Best Actress award.

Under Hattie's eager gaze, the

presenter on stage opened the envelope containing the winner's name, smiling mysteriously. "If the winner is who I think it is, I must admit I'm a fan of hers too.

"Really? Who is it?" the other presenter asked.

"Well, let me announce it now. The award for Best Actress goes to ...

"Congratulations once again to The Golden Ages team, and to the leading lady, Violeta White!

"Violeta, don't forget to give me an autograph later. My daughter has been asking for one!"

The audience applauded. This was the second time Violeta won the Best Actress award.

Hattie ground her teeth, yet she managed to keep her composure.

As Violeta walked up to the stage to accept her award, the camera followed her closely.

In the hospital, Evelina watched the scene with growing envy.

She didn't want to witness Violeta receiving her award, so she slammed her tablet down to the side, turning it off.

Just then, Jenny walked in. "Evie, what's wrong? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Evelina replied, "I can't sleep. Have you found the doctor?"

Jenny said, "Winona is contacting

them. I heard there's a waiting listet

for surgeries, but this doctor has an excellent reputation. Once he arrives, I'm sure you'll be fine."

Evelina had to get better. Otherwise, how would they continue getting benefits from her?
