Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 30 Chapter 30 How Can I Show Them Up If I Refuse? No way! It has to be a sham. That access card has got to be a fake! Living in Liberty Grove was a privilege reserved for the elite, and there was no way Violeta, that conniving viper, could afford it. Not only was it exorbitantly priced, but the landlords in Liberty Grove were discerning, catering exclusively to the cream of the crop.

Even if she miraculously managed to beca tenant, it wasn't a place your average Joe could just rent. Real estate agents in Liberty Grove were picky when it cto selecting tenants So, Zelena quickly deduced that Violeta was playing pretend. That Liberty Grove access card? Probably a bootleg version bought off ssketchy online marketplace! 'Alright then, if this conniving girl wants to play games, I'll play along!' She thought.

With a sly grin, Zelena quipped, "Seriously? You're in Liberty Grove, too, Sis? Funny, I've never spotted you around the neighborhood.

Of course, Zelena had never seen her! The property in Liberty Grove was a gift from Anton to Violeta before she started university! Initially, Irene and Anton thought Violeta might be too exhausted to chfor lunch every day, so they gifted her a unit in Liberty Grove. It was conveniently located just a couple of streets away from Toland University, reachable in minutes by car.

They figured Violeta could take a break or nap in the apartment whenever needed.

This wasn't a rented space; it had already been officially transferred to Violeta's name. Violeta never claimed to have rented a place; she carried the access card without using it.

Hearing Zelena's remark, a few sidekicks chimed in, "Oh, this access card is probably a knockoff! "You know how the inteis a breeding ground for all sorts of scams. People forge access cards and turn luxury car keys into lighters just to flaunt!" "Sfolks love showing off, even when their reality is far from glamorous. It's just absurd! Watching them mock Violeta, Zelena couldn't help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.

She stifled a laugh and pretended to defend her sister, "Hold on, guys. While access cards can be faked, I know my sister isn't the type to indulge in such antics. You're misunderstanding her "Lena, you're too kind and trusting. None of us believe Violeta could afford Liberty Grove. Only someone like you, a true heiress, could pull it off." Zelena looked puzzled, "Con, don't say that. My sister is just like me. How about this: I'll host everyone at my place this weekend." Chapter 10 How "Sure, sounds good!" "I've only seen Liberty Grove apartments online. They look so posh inside. Lena, you're a gemi Zelena beamed at them, then turned to Violeta, "Sister, you should cthis weekend, too." She was confident that Violeta wasn't a property owner, so Zelena seized the chance to flaunt and throw shade. Without waiting for Violeta's response, she declared, "It's settled then, sister. You better show up this weekend!" With that, she left with her entourage, giving Violeta no room for second thoughts.

"Who do they think they are-nobles or elites? Spewing hate and prejudice!" Kaylee witnessed the entire spectacle and saw through Zelena's true color even more.

"Hey, Violeta, are you really going?" Unfazed, the bell rang, and Violeta took out her book, replying calmly, "Why not?" Given Zelena's clear warning, attending that event with Bai Zi would only lead to trouble.

Kaylee voiced concern, advising, "Hey, don't take her words to heart. Just brush it off.

Violeta blinked, casually picking up the access card and turning it over between her fingers. Of course. How will I put them in their place if I don't go? They've practically offered their faces for a slap; if I decline, won't I be defying the heavens? In the afternoon, club registrations officially kicked off.

Though originally planned online, the servers crashed due to overwhelming numbers, forcing everyone to manually fill out forms.

Upon seeing Violeta's choice-tennis club-Kaylee exclaimed, "Oh, you picked the tennis club too. What a coincidence! Violeta replied nonchalantly. "Hmm.

"The tennis club is super popular but only takes a few each year. I hope I make the cut" After the forms were submitted, a third of the class had joined the tennis club.

"Look, Violeta joined too....

Someone whispered, peeking at her form.

Violeta shot a cold glance, and the gossipmonger hushed, snickering behind her.

"With her status, she thinks she can join the tennis club. Hilarious. Speople just don't know their place.

Zelena had snagged a spot through connections and was internally m assigned to logistics so it caught her off guard and irritated her to witness Violeta signing up for a club.
