Chapter 525 Confrontation
First, there was the matter with Alaric, and now Violeta had discovered something about Ava.
Evelina, it seems that every turning point in your life comes with a sacrifice.
Is it just a coincidence?
Violeta let out a knowing smile.
The last thing she believed was coincidence.
The next day, she followed her usual schedule.
Hayden messaged her, letting her know he had already arranged for someone to help him move.
Violeta responded, "Got it, Hade. From now on, you'll be in charge of keeping the bed warm."
Hayden replied slowly, "As long as you cooperate, we won't need to warm the bed to stay cozy."
Violeta was in the car when she received his message, and she almost spat out the water she was drinking.
Who would've thought that the usually serious Hayden could be this witty?
Violeta had noticed that the last tthey kissed, his ears had turned red.

In her previous life, Violeta hadn't experienced love or its intoxicating sweetness.
In this life, she found herself enjoying the thrill of making someone as reserved as Hayden blush.
It felt a little awkward, but also kind of exhilarating.
Aside from that, they had already met each other's parents. Hayden was her man now, so why hold back?
Violeta chuckled to herself.
Sitting next to her, Aster wiped the water off her face.
Then she saw Violeta staring at the screen with a mischievous smile. Nervously, she asked, "Ms. White? Are you
okay? Why are you suddenly smiling like that?" "Aster, there are things you just wouldn't understand," Violeta
replied, putting away her phone.
Aster finished wiping her face and asked, "Is it good news?"
Violeta nodded and said, "Indeed, it is. My brother is getting married."
Aster's eyes widened in surprise and delight. "Oh! Really?"
Niall had recently met with Elaine's parents, and the families had been discussing the wedding. Irene had been
busy selecting an auspicious date to plan their wedding. After the wedding, Irene would likely begin to hope for a
grandchild.
Violeta smiled and nodded again. "That's right. So in a few days, | need to pick out a wedding gift for him. Aster,
do you have any recommendations?"
Aster's cousin had just gotten married, and she had served as a bridesmaid.
She was excited when she mentioned weddings.
Meanwhile, Winnie eagerly helped Tracy secure a role in the movie.
She had found out that Mason was a fan of the ukulele. She had gone out of her way to buy a high-quality one as
a gift.
She thought Mason would accept it, but to her surprise, he returned the ukulele the next day with the packaging
untouched.
This approach was a dead end.
Winnie also learned that Evelina had managed to connect with Jasper, and she had secured two promising
projects within the company. Apex Entertainment's projects were clear cut.
The best projects always went to Violeta first. If Violeta passed on them, then they were offered to Tracy. The two
projects Evelina received were originally offered to Tracy.
In other words, Evelina had taken what was meant for Tracy.
Crossing the line like that was serious and clearly a challenge to Tracy.

Tracy might not care about the projects themselves, but she couldn't tolerate anyone overstepping her bounds.
How could Tracy hold it any longer? She brought her assistant along and stormed into Evelina's lounge.
As luck would have it, Evelina was in the lounge at the time.
The two had their second face-to-face confrontation.
Tracy, in her high heels, stormed in with a fierce glare. She looked down at Evelina with disdain.
"You took the Saror Cosmetics endorsement, didn't you?"
Evelina was sitting on a stool, holding a powder compact.
She paused her movements when she heard the door open. She turned to face Tracy, her eyes gleaming with
smug defiance, showing no fear at all. "Oh? The company gave it to me. Why? Shouldn't | have accepted it?"
Tracy sneered, "As a nobody, shouldn't you know better than to think you could land a gig like that?"
Evelina blinked, feigning innocence.
She said, wouldn't know, but what
can | do? | was handed the
opportunity. Ms. Tracy, surely you wouldn't get mad over something so trivial."
Tracy narrowed her eyes and warned, "Pretending to be innocent only works if you've got the looks to back it up.
With your bland look and petty tricks, who do you think you're fooling?"
