Chapter 666 I Don't Owe You Anything Critics were quick to assert that Violeta was heartless, and astonishingly, many of these voices had once been her devoted fans. They had completely misjudged her character in the past! Amid the swirling controversy, Violeta chose to remain silent, deliberately avoiding the public eye.

Following her official announcement of a relationship with Hayden, reporters eagerly attempted to track him down during her absence. However, they were met with fierce looks from armed guards before they could even get a glimpse of him, leaving them empty-handed. But where had Violeta vanished to during this time? She wasn't retreating like a turtle hiding in its shell.

Instead, she discreetly traveled to Arlowand.

Violeta took it upon herself to visit Zelena's hometown, seeking out her foster parents, the Cooke couple, in preparation for what lay ahead.

Once everything was in place, she recorded a video intended to confront Zelena from a distance and shared it on Facebook.

The video opened against the backdrop of a bustling market, caught in the soft light of early morning, around 4:00 AM.

It had the feel of a homemade recording; she held her phone as she walked slowly, her face bare and relaxed, her voice carrying her characteristic lazy drawl.

"Hi, I'm Violeta.

"After giving it sthought, I decided that a video would be the most effective way to reach out to everyone. "Zelena, I can't deny that we switched lives. I can't ignore these eighteen years. Many netizens have suggested that I owe you compensation or should issue a public apology, and the insults are piling up.

"But I'm sorry; that's not going to happen.

"Because I've already compensated for all of this a long tago." The camera panned back to reveal a fair hand as she stood in place, gesturing toward a nearby shop that specialized in brisket.

"Do you see that? The Cookes' Brisket, and over there, The Cooke's Wholesale Vegetables.

"Do you recognize anyone among those busy workers unloading goods? Oh, I mean your foster parents." In the video, a small delivery truck was unloading, with five or six workers bustling around.

The morning market was on the verge of opening, making it their busiest tof day.

"You claim I stole your eighteen years and that your foster parents treated you poorly. But they did their best for you. I admit that I haven't returned to the Blakes since I left. What about you? In all these years, have you ever gone back? "They've been managing quite well; have you ever considered that? You're their only daughter. I cacross numerous old photographs of you at your previous home. They even saved your clothes, shoes, hair clips, and a small rubber band-all meticulously stored in a tin box that once held chocolates. They treasure these memories. Is that what you call mistreatment? "They've grown older, and you've only becmore stunning. From what viewpoint and authority do you accuseof not visiting Mr. and Mrs. Blake?" The video shifted back to Violeta's face.

She addressed the camera with calmness, sharing her experiences from the past years.

"Ten years ago, I made a point to reach out to the Cookes. Their only daughter was thriving at the Blakes. I assisted them in launching their shop, hiring additional staff, constructing a house, and repairing the roads. Hm, those are tasks you never undertook. I did them for you. "Do you know whose nI did this under? Yours, Zelena.

"I don't owe you anything. Over these years, whatever you failed to achieve, I took care of. I supported your parents. I made that happen.

"And what about you? Letremind you.

"When you first returned to the Blakes, I had just survived a serious car accident. Thankfully, I was still alive.

"When you cback, my room

becyours. Everything I possessed was transferred to you.

Fine, I returned it all. I left the Blakes LO before I Kad fully recovered from my I injuries. For four years, I covered my college tuition and living costs while the Blakes didn't pay a single cent. My card was frozen; do you really think it froze on its own? Did it just coincidentally report itself as stolen?

"Eventually, I made my debut and gained srecognition. I tried to avoid you for years, but one day, my foster parents cto the office, bringing items for me. Their only intention was to askto give up a leading role in a major historical for my sister. Hocal could they, as outsiders, have learned about this?

"The Whites are certainly not an ordinary family. I'm grateful to be I'm their daughter. I'm thankful to have returned to a normal, loving family. The Blakes treatedthis way, and the Whites rewardedgenerously. Yet, you don't mention any of this."
