Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



The applause was thunderous.

This time, The Golden Ages had truly swept all the major awards.

Kaylee went on stage to receive the award, holding up the hem of her skirt. She was almost choked with sobs and unable to speak. Violeta applauded her from the audience.

This was Kaylee's moment of glory.

Meanwhile, Hattie rolled her eyes in disbelief at the scene, and the camera caught her reaction perfectly.

Many viewers watching the livestream caught Hattie rolling her eyes while Kaylee accepted her award, sparking a flurry of comments.

"Did Hattie just roll her eyes?"

"She didn't get an award today, so she can't handle it when others win?"

"It might not have been an eye roll, maybe her false eyelashes were bothering her. Let's not jump to conclusions, okay?"

"Hattie definitely rolled her eyes! Hattie definitely rolled her eyes! Hattie definitely rolled her eyes!"

"Hattie rolled her eyes!"

After the Splendor Awards concluded, several trending topics surged to the top of the charts.

While the first few were all about The Golden Ages' winning big, the hashtag about Hattie rolling her eyes also made its way into the trending list.

The moment belonged to The Golden Ages and their sweeping success.

Violeta was awarded Best Actress.

Kaylee's victory was undoubtedly well-deserved.

However, Hattie's eye roll became a focal point of discussion.

Many people on Twitter defended Hattie.

But many others criticized her for behaving unprofessionally as a public figure by rolling her eyes from the audience.

Hattie never expected that such a seemingly minor action would be caught on camera.

What a bad luck!

Hattie quickly brought in her PR team to handle the situation.

She insisted that she hadn't rolled her eyes; she simply had some discomfort in her eyes at that moment.

However, her explanation fell flat.

Because aizen happened to be recording and clearly captured the moment when Hattie rolled her eyes.

The evidence was undeniable. There was no room for argument.

With that in mind, Hattie decided to take a step back.

She had clarified her position, and whether people believed her was up to them. She figured it wasn't a big deal. After a few days, everyone would likely forget about it.

Little did she know, she had underestimated Kaylee's fans.

After Kaylee won Best Supporting Actress, riding high on her success, her fans couldn't stand to see her being disrespected. They flocked to Hattie's Twitter page to vent their frustration.

A fierce clash erupted between Hattie's fans and Kaylee's fans.

The argument escalated, with both sides determined to prove their point.

The more they argued, the more intense the rivalry became.

Kaylee's fans somehow dug up some dirt on Hattie.

"Hattie was in cahoots with Zelena at Toland University. Zelena was expelled from Toland University, and Hattie isn't innocent either—she helped bully other students back in school! Back then, Zelena falsely accused Kaylee of stealing, and Hattie must have been involved as well!"

"Is there anyone who doesn't know that Hattie is already married? After her announcement, she quickly entered into a secret marriage with Harvey, and she still hasn't made it public. Harvey spends all his time gambling, and it's all funded by Hattie!"

"Hattie has absolutely no class! She claims it was just her makeup, but she was clearly rolling her eyes! Does she think we're all idiots?"

"Stop spreading rumors! Watch out, or you might get a warning from her lawyer. Hattie isn't even married!"

Kaylee's fans were insistent that Hattie was already married, while Hattie's fans insisted she was not.

The drama intensified with the emergence of new gossip.

"Isn't anyone curious? Hattie is Hannah's daughter. Who is Hattie's father?"

"Do you really think Hattie is some kind of innocent sweetheart? In reality, she's ruthless! Hattie was born to Hannah, a mistress to some powerful figure, and as for who that figure is, those in the know understand."

The Ridges in Quinston weren't just any ordinary family.

The source of the gossip was careful not to be too explicit; the implications were clear, and those who understood would look into it.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Once the rumor spread, it didn't take long for people to start digging deeper.

As a result, the investigation revealed shocking truths.
