Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



As Violeta stood on stage at the Oscars, confidently holding her trophy and graciously expressing her gratitude, she was at the pinnacle of her life. Meanwhile, in Arlowand, Zelena was sitting in a car, waiting for her driver to pick up some alcohol. She leaned against the car window, holding an iPad in one hand and watching the live Oscars broadcast.

With only thirty seconds allotted for acceptance speeches, Violeta elegantly delivered a brief thank-you in Elic before gracefully turning and leaving the stage. Violeta had just stepped onto a new level of success.

This was an unprecedented achievement for the entertainment industry, surpassing the former icon Xena. Tonight was a celebration for the industry, with Apex posting five stunning photos of Violeta to celebrate her remarkable success.

Zelena coldly observed the content on the iPad, letting out a sarcastic laugh.

Just then, the driver emerged from the supermarket with beer in hand. As he approached the car parked on the roadside, he suddenly received a phone call, causing him to stop and answer. "Hello? Mrs. Blake, I'll bring Ms. Blake back right away. We're on our way," he said. "Okay."

Zelena had a penchant for drinking. Initially, her parents didn't care much, but as they saw her spiraling downward, they enforced a strict ban on alcohol in the house. Consequently, the Blakes no longer kept any alcohol around, leaving Zelena to blackmail and persuade her driver to sneak out and buy some for her.

That night, they were out buying alcohol secretly, away from her family. The driver quickly ended the call and hurried towards the car. Just as he was almost there, his eyes widened in shock. He saw something and yelled, "Ms. Blake! Get out of the car!!"

However, his voice couldn't compete with the speed of an approaching small truck.

As Zelena heard her driver's shout, she was about to roll down the window to ask what was happening when a small truck slammed into the rear of their sedan at full speed.

Bang!

The loud crash reverberated. Zelena barely had time to react before the impact force jolted her seat upward. She lifted her momentarily off her chair before she crashed heavily against the front passenger seat.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Everything spun around her.

Even as she remained conscious, all she felt was the warm trickle of blood flowing down from her head, pooling at the corner of her mouth.

She couldn't move, staring wide-eyed as her driver rushed towards her, abandoning the beer he had dropped. It smashed to the ground, splattering liquid mixed with shards of glass everywhere.

"Ms. Blake!"

"Quick! Call 120!"

Then, Zelena lost consciousness.

Zelena suffered injuries to her spine. She already had pre-existing back issues from earlier injuries, and now, this accident has exacerbated her condition The car crash severely damaged her spine, compounding her injuries. When the doctors emerged from the operating room, they merely shook their heads at Josh and Sharon, saying, "We did our best; the recovery will depend on her condition."

Sharon couldn't bear the reality and fainted on the spot.

Josh trembled as he asked, "How is my daughter ... ?"

A nearby doctor informed him, "The car crash severely compressed her spine, almost folding it in half. Her nerve functions are compromised. Everything depends on whether she wakes up, but... the worst-case scenario is paralysis."

Paralysis!

Those words struck Josh like a bolt of lightning Even though he had faced many challenges, the news that his only daughter might be paralyzed was almost too much to

bear He stumbled backward

struggling to process it.

How could this happen?

Why was fate so cruel to him?

Perhaps Zelena never anticipated that the person responsible for this accident was herself.

When she had inadvertently harmed Ophelia in the past, Ophelia went through the darkest time of her life. At that moment, Ophelia vowed to make the person who hurt her pay, promising a lifelong feud.

With Violeta's evidence, Ophelia successfully tracked down the foreign waiter who had been bribed. After intense interrogations, the waiter confessed that Zelena was behind the scheme.

After receiving this revelation, Ophelia initially felt disbelief.

Zelena had once been so attentive to her, and she never imagined that the one who had caused her harm was actually her!

After learning that Zelena was the mastermind, Ophelia fell silent for several days. Ultimately, she resolved to seek revenge against Zelena, leading her to orchestrate this car accident.
