Chapter 657 Who Do You Think Is Behind This Violeta couldn't help but laugh at Aster's comment. "Can you imagine your mom finding out that her favorite actor from her youth is now dating someone younger than you? What do you think her reaction would be?" Aster paused, considering the question thoughtfully for a moment.

"To be honest, I think she'd be taken aback initially, and then she'd let out a sigh and say something like, 'Oh, of course! Men always seem to go for younger women.' Haha!" As Violeta tucked her phone away, another thought crept into her mind.

She had already forwarded the details about the blond waiter and the surveillance footage to Ophelia, but she hadn't received any updates from either Zelena or Ophelia.

This left her with two possibilities: either Ophelia had overlooked the anonymous tip she had sent, or she had found nothing of significance.

The first option seemed unlikely. Ophelia had to be fuming at whoever was scheming against her, so it was hard to believe she would ignore a potential lead.

That left the only conclusion that Ophelia had simply not discovered anything useful.

If Ophelia couldn't gather any information, even with clear images of the person involved, then her skills were indeed lacking.

Violeta's expression darkened as she pondered whether to offer Ophelia another assist.

Having wrapped up the event, Violeta considered her day complete.

The chatter on Facebook regarding Ophelia continued to escalate, but it didn't bother her at all.

When Violeta got back to Liberty Grove, she found Hayden already hfrom work.

He was lounging on the couch in a beige sweater, absorbed in a TV show. After taking a quick shower and slipping into comfortable clothes, Violeta joined him with her laptop, ready to surf the internet. Before long, Gabriela entered with a bowl of yogurt topped with fresh fruits. The yogurt had a pleasantly tangy and refreshing taste.

It had been a while since Ophelia's had trended on Facebook, so Violeta decided to do a quick search for any updates but found nothing new.

Since the incident, Ophelia had been keeping a low profile, rarely making public appearances.

However, paparazzi were still on the lookout, capturing footage of Ophelia's manager hauling various items into her apartment. It appeared that Ophelia had withdrawn from the world following the incident. Missing out on the Best Actress award at the Golden Rooster Award must have stung deeply. This was Ophelia's second nomination, and once again, she had left without the coveted prize.

Perhaps she was merely attempting to work on herself, biding her tfor the perfect moment to make a comeback.

"What are you staring at?" Noticing Violeta's intense concentration, Hayden leaned in closer.

Resting her head on his shoulder, Violeta softly asked, "Hayden, could you helpinvestigate someone?" "Of course. Who is it?" Violeta opened the surveillance footage she had saved on her computer and pointed to a blond waiter visible on the screen. "This guy." Hayden frowned slightly. "What did he do?" Violeta's expression turned serious. "He slipped something into my drink. If I hadn't caught it in time, I could have been the one making the headlines instead of Ophelia." But then again, maybe not.

Aster had been there with Violeta, and every choice at a crucial moment could have led to a different outcome.

If Violeta had actually consumed that spiked drink, who could say what would have unfolded? Most likely, it would have gone exactly as Zelena envisioned: scandalous images everywhere, a tarnished reputation, and likely no opportunity for marriage into the Frosts. Marriage? Suddenly, Violeta glanced up at Hayden, a new idea striking her.

Could Zelena's motive for this be tied to Hayden? Zelena had feelings for Nolan but had been unsuccessful in her pursuit this schwould not have only tarnished her reputation but also have jeopardized her chances of marriage. en Last year, Ophelia's scandal had sent shockwaves through the media, and Al-generated compromising images circulated widely. As a result Hayden remained a silent witness to the chaos that ensued.

QUMS He wasn't the type to revel in gossip or focus on such trivial matters.

Yet, due to Violeta's involvement in the entertainment industry,chefound himself swept up in all the . What had occurred with Ophelia would affect anyone's life, and had

someone else faced that situation, Hayden would have surely felt m ve surely felt m morally obligated to sympathize with them. But if it had happened to Violeta? He dared not imagine it-the mere thought made him seethe with fury.

"What did you say?" "I believe Ophelia's incident was caused by her consuming that spiked drink."

Violeta gestured toward the wine glass in her hand from thesurveillance footage, then began to elaborate on the situation to Hayden in detail. Hayden's expression tightened as his brows knitted together. "So, who do you think is behind this?"
