Rebirth vs. Rebirth Tragedy to Triumph by Violeta and Zelena [[Chapters 221, to 230]] – Daisy Novels 

Chapter 221

After careful consideration, Zelena suspected that Kaylee had used the information to bait her earlier, and it was highly likely that it was under Violeta’s instructions!

At the time, Zelena was too shocked by Kaylee’s possession of the incriminating material and

worried about the consequences, leading her to act impulsively.

However, the involvement of the hacker puzzled her.

What about Six the Hacker?

Was the hacker also bought off by Violeta?

How did that woman wield such power?

Hattie interrupted her thoughts, “Have you dealt with that girl named Shirley?”

Zelena replied, “I already confronted her. She’s left Quinston. I can’t find her, but if she dares to return, I’ll make her pay!”

Hattie leaned against the couch and said, “Since we’re friends, let me give you a tip.”

Zelena’s expression changed.

“What?”

Hattie didn’t want Zelena to fall so quickly. They were still publicly known as friends at school, and Hattie suspected Violeta’s involvement in this incident.

She needed Zelena to counter Violeta.

Therefore, Zelena was still useful.

“Tell me, what’s the tip?” Zelena asked.

Hattie smirked. “This incident isn’t a big deal. The reason it’s trending is because someone is buying traffic behind the scenes.”

She grabbed a piece of paper from the coffee table, tore it in half, and placed it beside her diamond hairpin.

“Which do you think is more attention-grabbing, a piece of scrap paper or my hairpin?”

Zelena understood immediately.

Hattie was suggesting she divert attention from her scandal by creating a bigger one.

“I get it,” Zelena said.

Hattie patted Zelena’s shoulder. “I’ve given you the method. It’s up to you now. I need to go compete. Good luck.”

With that, Hattie left the lounge.

Having grown up around Hannah, Hattie knew many public relations tactics.

Who said the public’s eyes were discerning?

If you covered them, they wouldn’t see anything.

Zelena watched Hattie leave, her eyes narrowing.

She knew Hattie had ulterior motives for helping her.

Zelena had previously bribed the club to have Hattie’s team throw the finals, but now she was disqualified.

She wouldn’t let her money go to waste.

If she couldn’t win the championship, neither could Hattie.

Zelena called the club. Having learned of her disqualification, the entertainment department

asked, “Ms. Reid, about your previous instructions…

“Proceed as planned,” Zelena said coldly. “Make her lose.”

“Alright.”

“Click …

The call ended.

Hattie Ridge believed she was cleverly manipulating the situation, but she might be unaware of being manipulated herself.

The true winner remained hidden.

Creating a distraction to overshadow her scandal wasn’t difficult for Zelena.

Zelena was confident about that.

In her past life, her obsession with Violeta led her to closely follow entertainment news.

Her keen eye for entertainment news meant she had a vast mental library of past scandals that had shaken the social media landscape.

From on-set affairs to other sensational stories, these were far juicier than her own predicament.

Weren’t these more attention-grabbing than her scandal?

Zelena smiled, quickly searching her mind for relevant gossip from this period, then casually found the phone number of an entertainment magazine online and called to tip them off.

At the live broadcast venue.

Violeta’s team took the stage, facing Evelyn’s team.

This was their second match. Violeta was glad they had made it through the revival round, but she wouldn’t give up the championship.

Both teams smiled at each other before sitting down at their computers.

As the match began, MLSS officially announced the disqualification, and the online comments gradually returned to normal.

“Ah, I love both teams.”

“I don’t want Violeta to lose! Go, Violeta! Go, The, Mighty Dragons!”

The two most outstanding female captains of this year’s high school competition met again. Who would win?

Hattie sat calmly below the stage.

This time, Evelyn was cautious, not daring to slack off.

But Violeta was relaxed, playing with ease.

The economic gap between the two sides was small, waiting for a big play to see who would drop points.

Finally, nearly twenty-five minutes into the match, Violeta took the initiative and killed the opponent’s marksman during a team fight.

The opposing marksman was shocked. She had been very careful but was still killed.

How did Violeta predict her movement?

Her game sense was incredible!!

With the marksman dead, the team fight erupted. The opponents couldn’t resist and tried to retreat, but it was too late.

They were wiped out.

Evelyn frowned, watching helplessly as the opposing team pushed the tower all the way to their base until their fountain was destroyed……

Chapter 222

Sometimes, the outcome of a match can be decided by a single-team fight.

Evelyn couldn’t help but sigh.

“Ah…”

The marksman, who had been caught out, apologized profusely. “Evelyn … I’m sorry.”

Evelyn smiled at her. “It’s alright. A loss is a loss. If we’re not first, we still have second place.”

Their original goal was to defeat Hattie.

Losing to Violeta again left them a bit disappointed, but as Violeta had said before, losing to a strong opponent is not a shame.

The announcer declared, “The match is over!

“The first winner is ‘The Mighty Dragons!”

According to the new rules, the first winner would have to wait for the second and third teams to compete before the championship was decided.

If Evelyn’s team won against Hattie’s, they would secure second place.

If Hattie lost, Violeta, having previously defeated Evelyn, would be the undisputed champion.

If Hattie won, she would face Violeta in a final match to determine the champion.

Therefore, the match between Evelyn and Hattie was crucial.

The Mighty Dragons won once again.

As they left the stage, Violeta and Evelyn shared a hug.

“Congratulations on your win,” Evelyn said.

Violeta smiled. “Good luck in your next match.”

Backstage, the marksman who had been targeted by Violeta approached her, curious.

“Violeta, can you tell me how you knew I would go that way?”

She hadn’t revealed her position, so how did Violeta know?

Violeta turned and calmly explained, “I’ve studied your data, past matches, and gameplay videos. You’re skilled with marksman, but you have a weakness, as you always go for the buff after the third dragon.

“Your habit is your biggest flaw.”

Violeta had thoroughly researched all the players, not underestimating anyone.

That was why losing to her wasn’t shameful.

The marksman sighed. “Well, I understand now.”

Violeta nodded. “I hope you defeat Flame Vanguard.”

Defeating Hattie had been Evelyn’s team’s goal, so they would undoubtedly give it their all.

However, the second match was destined to be their victory.

Because …

Zelena, the ultimate troublemaker, was at play.

In other words, “The Spring Blossom” was already guaranteed second place in this competition!

After the first match, there was a ten-minute break.

Violeta returned to the lounge and checked her phone. During the twenty-minute match, Zelena had contacted a gossip outlet for damage control.

The top trending topic on Facebook has been replaced.

Instead, it was revealed that two members of a veteran-man band were gay, while the third was interested in women but unable to perform.

This veteran-man band was comparable to the top stars of the ’80s and ’90s, and the news caused a huge stir online.

Additionally, MLSS officials, not wanting to be dragged down by Zelena, were deliberately suppressing her trending topic.

Therefore, the news about Zelena quickly faded.

The rapid decline in popularity was within Violeta’s expectations.

She hadn’t expected this incident alone to bring Zelena down.

Her goal was to ensure that even if Zelena became famous in the future, a simple internet search would reveal her past scandals and malicious nature!

This would become a permanent stain on her record.

Having achieved her goal, Violeta was satisfied.

A message from Kaylee popped up on WhatsApp. “Vio, Zelena is getting hammered on Facebook, haha. We won a great victory!”

Violeta replied, “Are you still here? Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“Sure!”

Kaylee readily agreed.

The second match soon began.

Due to Zelena’s interference, Hattie’s team encountered various mishaps. The jungle started without a buff. Their jungle was invaded without vision …

Hattie was frustrated and on the verge of losing her temper several times, but she managed to restrain herself in front of the camera.

She hadn’t forgotten they were live, and throwing a tantrum would make her infamous like Zelena.

Although her teammates were deliberately underperforming, they couldn’t be too obvious. They feigned competitiveness through several team fights, ultimately losing to “The Spring Blossom” after thirty minutes.

Hattie’s inner volcano erupted, glaring at her teammates.

Soon, the host asked the teams to shake hands and hug…

Chapter 223

Evelyn repeated back to Hattie exactly what Hattie had said to her before, right in her ear.

Hattie was so furious, that she was grinding her teeth. She stormed off the stage before the host had even finished speaking.

The comment section was full of people calling Hattie a sore loser. saving she couldn’t take defeat.

Previously, when “The Spring Blossom” lost, Evelyn had been very gracious, completely unlike how Hattie was acting now.

Hattie had originally thought that after defeating “The Spring Blossom,” she could then take down Violeta on stage.

That way, she would be the undisputed number one!

But who would’ve thought she wouldn’t even come in second place!

Suspecting the problem lay with her team, Hattie went back to the locker room and immediately called the club, demanding a full refund.

The club played dumb and passed the buck, but they made it clear there was no way she was getting a refund.

And so, the MLSS College Competition came to a successful conclusion.

That night, fireworks and the theme song lit up the sky above the stadium, celebrating the winning teams of the competition.

Violeta was on stage, soaking in the cheers and glory from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Zelena stood in a dark corner below, clenching her fists in anger as she watched the shining figure above her.

When Violeta raised her hand, her loose sleeve fell back, revealing an emerald bracelet on her wrist.

Zelena’s eyes widened in shock as she clearly saw the emerald bracelet on Violeta’s wrist. She glanced at her own bracelet, and from the luster and quality, it was obvious Violeta’s bracelet was indeed an emerald!

How was it possible? How could that bitch actually be wearing a real emerald bracelet?

Zelena turned and left the stadium in a rage.

The next day, Violeta’s bracelet gained various levels of attention on Facebook and the school forum.

Some people even saw her bracelet during a livestream and wanted to buy the same one.

When they took the picture to a jeweler, experts immediately identified Violeta’s bracelet as an emerald, not agate or glass.

It was a genuine emerald!

Not only was it impossible to find an identical bracelet, but even if one could be found, it would cost at least 4 million dollars.

The sources for acquiring such a bracelet were far from ordinary, and even at auctions, pieces of such high quality were extremely rare.

A screenshot of this expert consultation went viral without Violeta needing to say a word, the rumors Zelena had spread about her bracelet being glass were debunked.

The girls Zelena had previously mocked proudly shared the screenshot in class for several days, subtly ridiculing Zelena for not recognizing real value.

Zelena felt utterly humiliated, and her hatred only grew deeper.

Violeta and Kaylee were plotting against her using Shirley’s situation, and there was also the hacker Six.

Zelena was not going to let this go. She initially planned to find another hacker on the black market to unmask Six.

But then she discovered something unexpected!

The black market had already put a bounty on Six!

Zelena was stunned when she saw the wanted notice. Six was a wanted criminal!

Zelena had no idea that Six became a wanted person because of her. But since Six was now a fugitive and the black market was collecting tips about Six’s whereabouts with a reward, Zelena saw her chance for revenge.

Even though she didn’t need the money, she was willing to provide information out of spite.

So, she contacted someone on the black market and gave them Six’s WhatsApp number.

The black market had been struggling to find any leads on Six. They had dispatched top-tier hackers worldwide to investigate, but they hadn’t found a single trace.

Think about it. The wanted notice had been out for so long.

The fact that they hadn’t found any leads was seriously damaging the black market’s reputation!

Zelena’s tip came as a much-needed relief, and they quickly assigned people to investigate the

WhatsApp number, eventually tracing the IP to Quinston in Hoiten.

Two days later, word about Lucy’s birthday party at the dance club spread.

She had invited everyone from the dance club to her villa for the party, including Zelena and Hattie.

Lucy wanted Jasper to attend her birthday party as well, but she had a feeling he wouldn’t come, which made her quite frustrated.

After the college competition, the game company signed a contract with Violeta for further shoots of game promotional posters and a music video.

They even showed great sincerity by waiting until Violeta finished the semester, and scheduling the shoot for winter break.

However, Zelena’s reputation took a significant hit due to this incident, and her standing at school was no longer as perfect as before.

Violeta, on the other hand, gained a lot of online fame from the competition and solidified her image as a gamer girl.

The collaboration with the game company was just the icing on the cake, making others envious!

Lucy’s birthday party, also known as the Toland University Socialite Gathering, promised valuable connections and benefits to anyone invited, whether they were true socialites or not.

Chapter 224

Since Lucy’s party included not only heiresses but also many wealthy second-generation kids, attending it guaranteed a worthwhile experience.

Being invited to Lucy’s birthday party was an unspoken honor, so Zelena and Hattie started bragging about it early in class.

“What are you doing, Hattie?” asked Candy.

“Picking out clothes,” Hattie replied.

“Hattie, you have so many clothes that you never wear the same thing twice. You still need to pick out clothes?” Gillian chimed in.

“Yes, I’m going to Lucy’s birthday party,” Hattie said.

“Wow! Really? I heard from seniors that you can meet many important people at that party. They even serve champagne that costs six figures per bottle! I wish I could go just to see it,” Candy exclaimed.

“Ugh, if I had known, I would have joined the dance club too,” Gillian sighed.

Everyone in the dance club was invited to the birthday party without any restrictions.

Not all dance club members were wealthy, so even ordinary people could get a glimpse of high society.

Hattie spent class time picking out clothes, selecting them, and buying many outfits.

“Hattie, how do you decide what to buy?” Gillian teased.

“I stop when my eyes get tired,” Hattie replied.

The others fell silent at her show of wealth.

News of Zelena and Hattie attending Lucy’s birthday party quickly spread through the class, making many classmates envious.

Besides the dance club members, only those from influential families in Mapleton received invitations.

In their class, only Zelena and Hattie got invited, giving them plenty to boast about.

“Actually, I was supposed to go home that day, but Lucy invited me so warmly that I had no choice but to go to the birthday party. Finding a gift was such a headache. I had no idea what to get,” Hattie bragged.

“It feels like our school needs a Hall of Fame, haha,” someone joked.

“Yeah, everyone who gets invited will be in it!”

“Unlike some people who didn’t get invited at all, I’m not naming names.’

“Money isn’t the issue, haha. Why weren’t they invited? So funny, especially since they were flaunting that Jour 24 outfit before!”

The front-row girls kept mocking and bursting into sharp laughter.

Kaylee covered her ears.

“So noisy. Vio, let’s go to the library. Who cares about that stupid birthday party anyway!”

“Okay,” Violeta agreed.

Violeta had been working on her computer, completely ignoring the girls in the front row.

She closed her laptop and left the classroom with Kaylee to go to the library.

After the competition, Violeta had been trying to handle the black market’s bounty on her.

It wasn’t a huge problem, but it was still a persistent risk.

She knew Zelena would leak her secondary WhatsApp number, leading the black market to trace her location.

Although pinpointing her exact IP would take time, she needed to address it quickly to avoid unnecessary complications.

Meanwhile, at the dance club, Casey noticed Lucy seemed down lately like she had something on her mind.

“Lucy, you don’t seem happy recently,” Casey observed.

“Yeah, I’m worried about whether Jasper will come to my birthday party,” Lucy admitted.

… He should come, right?” Casey tried to reassure her.

“I don’t know. From what I know about him, I can’t be sure he’ll come,” Lucy said, still uncertain.

Casey knew that Lucy still hadn’t given up on Jasper.

After all, he was her first love, and Jasper definitely had the charm of a rogue.

She heard there was going to be a pool party at the birthday bash that night….

“Lucy, if you invite Jasper alone, he might not come. But if you invite his close friends too, he might be more inclined to join,” Casey suggested.

Lucy glanced at Casey, thinking she was too naive.

Among Jasper’s four friends, Zoren was the most likely to attend parties, followed by Jasper, and then Liam.

The hardest to invite was Hayden.

If she couldn’t get Jasper to come, how could she expect to get the others?

Casey pondered for a moment. “Actually, if you want them all to come, there’s someone who might be able to influence them.”

“Who?” Lucy asked.

“Violeta.”

Even though Casey didn’t like Violeta and even found her quite annoying, she had to admit the truth: Violeta had the ability to bring Jasper and his friends together.

They had always thought Violeta got along well with the group because she was Jasper’s girlfriend.

But after Jasper clarified that they weren’t dating, they realized Violeta’s bond with them wasn’t based on that relationship.

No matter how much they disliked admitting it, Violeta was the first woman in years to integrate into Jasper’s group.

Whether it was being in the same club or during the recently concluded college competition, Violeta was always surrounded by those four guys.

Chapter 225

Violeta was the only exception over the years, and she might be the only way in.

“If you want to convince Jasper to come, you might have to invite Violeta. If she goes, there’s a good chance all four of them will come,” Casey suggested.

Lucy pressed her lips together.

She didn’t like Violeta.

Maybe it was because Violeta’s mentor, Grace, was a rival to her own teacher.

Or maybe it was because Violeta had managed to do what no other woman could: forcefully join the group of four guys and become the exception.

Ultimately, it might just be that Lucy was jealous of Violeta.

This jealousy prevented them from becoming friends, making them enemies instead.

But Lucy would never admit to being jealous of Violeta.

The idea of inviting Violeta to her birthday party was something Lucy just couldn’t bring herself to do.

She thought about it some more…

“Is there no other way?” Lucy asked.

“If you want Jasper to come, besides asking Violeta, the only other option would be Hayden,” Casey replied.

Lucy fell silent.

That was out of the question.

Hayden was so aloof that she couldn’t bring herself to approach him.

If she upset Hayden, it would be a big problem, and even her grandfather would have questions for her.

“Let me think about it some more,” Lucy said.

“Alright,” Casey agreed.

After a whole afternoon of work, Violeta finally found a lead.

She had traced an IP address to a bar called The Neon Bar on Southridge Avenue.

Without wasting any time, she decided to head out.

As she closed her laptop, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had just resolved a huge problem.

However, the moment she closed her laptop, she nearly spit out her coffee when she saw a man sitting across from her.

“…. Cough, cough…’

Violeta choked but managed to swallow her coffee.

“Hayden, when did you sit down in front of me?”

Hayden glanced at the small piece of paper in front of her, covered in several IP addresses Violeta had jotted down earlier.

She quickly snatched the paper away.

“I came to the library to borrow a dictionary. I saw you here and decided to come over. I haven’t been here long,” Hayden replied.

“Oh, okay.”

“I noticed you were writing down an address. Are you planning to go somewhere?” Hayden inquired.

Violeta stayed silent.

So Hayden had seen it after all.

Pushing a strand of hair behind her ear, Violeta replied, “I was just jotting down random stuff. Don’t take it seriously.”

Did Hayden have such good eyesight that he could read what was on her paper?

Violeta wanted to handle the black market issue on her own, without anyone else knowing. If Hayden discovered what she was up to, it would make things even more complicated.

There was an anxious feeling about having her secret discovered.

If too many people knew a secret, it wasn’t a secret anymore.

“I’m heading out. Kay’s waiting for me.”

“Alright,” Hayden responded softly.

Violeta packed her laptop into her tote bag and left.

After leaving the library, she went straight to the cafeteria.

She had dinner with Kaylee and then left Toland University for the day.

Back at the White residence, Violeta told a lie, saying she was going out with Zoren and the others.

Since she often went out in the evenings, Irene and Anton didn’t suspect anything and just reminded her to be back by ten.

She took a cab to The Neon Bar.

Although she had the exact address, the bar was located in a maze of alleyways.

The cab couldn’t drive in, so she had to get out and walk.

The old alleyways, decades old, had no streetlights. Violeta walked alone, the only sound being her footsteps.

At the end of the alley, a sign came into view.

It reads, “The Neon Bar.”

“Found it,” she muttered.

The bar’s entrance looked like something from a nightclub in the last century-very old and emitted a cheap incense smell.

Violeta pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The interior was decorated like a nightclub from the last century, complete with music that had a crackling, vintage sound.

A quick glance revealed no customers, but behind the bar was a middle-aged man with long hair, smoking a cigarette, and wiping his glasses.

“Sorry, we’re closed.”

“But it’s only eight o’clock.”

Seriously, what bar closes at eight?

Violeta stepped up to the bar. The man never looked directly at her. His eyes were fixed on the glass he was cleaning. The cigarette in his mouth bobbed with his words, dropping ash silently.

“We don’t serve customers.”

“Oh? Why not?”

“Why ask? Don’t you understand human language?”

The man was getting annoyed, his narrow eyes glaring through his hair.

Violeta sat on a high stool at the bar, resting her chin on one hand, her gaze indifferent.

She smiled and said slowly, “I understand, just not yours.”

The man fell silent.

The implication was clear: she was saying he wasn’t speaking like a human, so she couldn’t understand.

His irritation showed as he slammed the glass down on the bar.

Violeta quickly interjected, “Hey, hey, be careful. It’d be a shame to break a fine hexagonal crystal glass like that.”

Chapter 226

As Violeta spoke, her gaze swept around the room, spotting a staircase on the right leading to the second floor. “They’re upstairs, aren’t they?” she asked.

The man froze, his eyes losing their previous dismissiveness. Now he was scrutinizing her, his hand moving subtly towards an alarm button under the table. At the slightest hint of trouble, he would alert the people upstairs.

“Who exactly are you?!”

“No need to be so tense.”

The black market’s vast information network was controlled by five people.

They were spread across the globe and only met once every two years.

The data they held maintained a delicate balance of power worldwide. Their separation ensured they couldn’t all be captured at once.

The server for the Eye of Heaven information database was secured with three keys.

Every two years, these keys were handed over to the next set of guardians, with the five taking turns safeguarding them.

Today was the day they met to transfer the keys.

The location of this meeting was highly confidential, never to be leaked.

Who exactly was this woman?

She didn’t seem like a regular bar patron.

Violeta tapped her fingers on the table, her tone intriguing. “Why don’t you take a guess at who I am?”

The man’s internal alarm bells rang loudly, and his gaze towards Violeta turned murderous.

“I don’t like guessing games. I don’t care who you are. You’re about to become a dead woman

As he finished speaking, the man drew a gun equipped with a silencer from his waist and aimed it at Violeta.

At such close range, he almost didn’t need to aim to hit her.

However, Violeta moved faster.

The man froze mid-action, not even having time to pull the trigger before he felt a cold sensation on his neck.

Glancing down, he saw a small utility knife blade embedded in his throat.

A wave of intense pain swept over him.

Violeta effortlessly took the gun from his hand and toyed with it, saying, “Don’t move, don’t pull it out, or you’ll start bleeding everywhere. You wouldn’t want to make a mess here, would you?”

The utility knife blade was extremely sharp. Violeta had been careful to avoid any critical spots, ensuring he wouldn’t die unless he pulled it out.

She tucked the gun behind her and glanced at her watch. Time was running out.

“I’m heading upstairs. I advise you not to pull it out. You’ll die if you do.”

With that, she quickly ran up the stairs, taking two steps at a time.

Reaching the second floor, she found only one room.

She knocked politely and introduced herself at the door, “Hello everyone, I’m coming in.”

She opened the door and walked in calmly.

Inside were five men seated around a table with six glasses on it. Violeta scanned the room and smiled.

The five middle-aged men looked at her in shock and dismay.

Only one of them was a local from Hoiten, so she didn’t worry about being misunderstood.

“Gentlemen, time is short, so I’ll get straight to the point.

“I am the Six you’ve been looking for.”

The room fell into stunned silence.

“What?”

They looked at each other, confused about what was happening.

How did this woman get upstairs?

The one man who understood Sinotian was visibly shocked by Violeta’s words.

“What do you want?” he asked.

“Peaceful coexistence. I want you to cancel the black market bounty.”

“Impossible! You dared to hack into our Eye of Heaven. We will never forgive that,” the man exclaimed.

Violeta smiled slightly. “That makes things simple. I’ve already sent this location to the Interpol inspector. In five minutes, this place will be locked onto by satellites. If you don’t choose peace, then let the black market disappear.”

In other words, they had five minutes to evacuate.

The man burst into anger, slamming the table as he stood. “Do you think you can threaten us?”

They had gathered here with more than just the one man downstairs.

They never expected that Six, the hacker they had been searching for, would be a woman.

However, her timing was terrible because they had an important client to meet today. Violeta’s arrival had disrupted their plans, and it was unforgivable.

A blond man nearby reached for the alarm button.

A flash of cold light and a sharp utility knife blade flew through the air, embedding precisely in his hand.

“Ah!” the blond man screamed.

Violeta glanced at her watch again, speaking coldly, “You have four minutes left.”

Given her ability to find their address, she had obviously prepared for everything.

She only needed to stall them.

Violeta herself was safe, as she had the entire White family behind her.

But these men would be in serious trouble if they were captured.

Violeta’s swift action stunned them.

They hadn’t expected that Six, known for her hacking skills, was also proficient with weapons.

Chapter 227

If she wanted, she could kill them all right here and take credit later…

After weighing the pros and cons, the five men ultimately surrendered one of the three keys to Violeta under her pressure.

Only then did she allow them to leave.

As they descended the stairs, they saw the man who had been cleaning glasses behind the bar had already passed out from blood loss.

A small team of people rushed in, carrying the man out and escorting the five men away.

Before leaving, they turned to look in Violeta’s direction.

“We’ll remember you, Six!”

Violeta stood in the bar, expressionless, holding her phone. She made a few quick operations.

All’s fair in deception.

In truth, she had never sent the coordinates to Interpol. Bluffing them had actually worked.

This only proved how guilty they felt.

With one of the keys in her possession, they wouldn’t dare make any reckless moves, and the black market bounty would be lifted.

The threat was completely eliminated.

Feeling quite pleased, Violeta left the bar.

She didn’t notice that a man in a white coat had emerged from the second-floor room behind her…

Back at the White residence, Violeta examined the black market server key in her hand.

Suddenly, she remembered the sixth glass on the table …

After entering the room, Violeta clearly saw six cups on the coffee table, but there were only five people in the room.

Why was there an extra cup?

Did they have another guest who hadn’t arrived yet?

Or had the guest already arrived but remained hidden from her sight?

As she pondered, the key in her hand suddenly dropped onto the carpet.

Tuna, who was lying under the bed, quickly grabbed the key and swallowed it.

Violeta hurried to pry open his mouth.

“Oh no! You ate it! You silly wolf, why did you eat it? This isn’t food! Spit it out, spit it out!”

….

This was the key to the black market’s entire information server!

There were only three such keys in the world.

When the key was given to Violeta as collateral, she had intended to return it once the black-market bounty was lifted.

She didn’t want to attract more trouble to herself.

Keeping the key was inherently dangerous.

But she never expected Tuna to eat it!

“Oh no, I’ll have to give you a laxative. We need to get it out.”

Tuna looked at Violeta with innocent eyes, his eyelids drooping.

Violeta left the room and asked a servant to give Tuna a laxative, but Tuna was smart and wasn’t hungry, so he refused to eat anything.

This put the servant in a difficult spot.

They had to keep an eye on Tuna’s bowel movements.

Violeta had school the next day, so she went to sleep after instructing the servant to find the key.

The servant, not daring to neglect Violeta’s orders, nodded and promised to find the key in Tuna’s feces.

After the five men safely left Hoiten, they realized they had been tricked.

There was no Interpol chase.

They had fled like rats, only to understand the ruse once they were on the plane.

“Damn it, we were played!”

The men discussed Six on the plane.

“That woman is cunning! Who would have thought Six was a woman?”

“Yeah, really unexpected!”

“The key is in her hands. How do we find her now?”

“First, we need to cancel the bounty and call back those searching for her.”

“We must get the key back… that woman is too crafty. A Hoiten woman…

The next day, the black market bounty was lifted.

Violeta felt a great sense of relief.

She was much more relaxed while training at the tennis court.

However, something felt odd.

When she encountered Hayden at the tennis court, his gaze was more intense than before, as if he had discovered something, making Violeta uneasy.

“Hayden, why are you looking at me like that?” she asked.

Hayden lowered his eyelids slightly and replied, “It’s nothing.”

Zoren teased, “Hade always looks at people like that, doesn’t he?”

Violeta replied, “It’s different.”

“How so?”

Violeta fell silent.

She couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but it felt different.

Oh well, maybe it was just her imagination!

She decided not to dwell on it.

That afternoon, while Violeta and Kaylee were entering the classroom with their laptops and books, they accidentally bumped into Hattie, who was leaving.

Hattie was holding a water cup, which tilted and spilled water on Zelena’s gift bag, soaking the clothes inside.

“Oh no! My clothes …

Zelena quickly moved the wet bag away and pulled out the folded clothes to check. They were wet.

“Oh my god, Lena, you haven’t even worn these yet. What are you going to do now?” Candy exclaimed.

To make matters worse, the water in the cup wasn’t just plain water.

Chapter 228

Hattie had coffee in her cup today! So what spilled out was coffee.

Zelena wailed, “What am I going to do? I was planning to wear this outfit to Lucy’s birthday party, and now it’s ruined… I haven’t even worn it once. It took so much effort to get this new suit…

Tears welled up in Zelena’s eyes, making her look very pitiful.

Hattie glanced at her and then turned to glare at Violeta. “Are you two blind? Don’t you watch where you’re going? Now look, you need to pay for the clothes!”

Gillian jumped in, “Even if they wanted to pay, they couldn’t. This outfit took Lena a lot of effort to get. I heard it’s a limited edition. The Quinston boutique only had five pieces, and they’re all sold out. And the party’s tomorrow, there’s no way to get a replacement in time!”

Violeta glanced at the outfit in Zelena’s hands.

A coffee stain near the shoulder stood out clearly against the beige fabric.

But…

The outfit looked familiar.

It was an O’Hara new release, one that Irene had passed on.

Every year, Irene spent a considerable amount on clothes and accessories. As a member, she was invited to luxury brand events, and each season’s new releases were sent to her first for selection. Anything she didn’t choose was then made available to boutiques. Luxury brands catered to the wealthy. For someone like Irene, limited editions were something she could buy ahead of everyone else. So, Violeta said lightly, “I’ll replace it for you.”

Gillian sneered, “Didn’t you hear? It’s a limited edition, only five pieces were made! They’re all sold out. How are you going to replace it?”

Candy added, “Yeah if you’re going to pay, you should compensate at the current market price! This outfit’s price has already increased fivefold.”

Kaylee found this ridiculous. “Why pay the market price? If we’re compensating, shouldn’t it be for the price Zelena paid? The prices for these clothes are so inflated every season. If we follow your logic, if the price drops later, should we ask for a refund of the difference?”

Candy glared, “Kaylee, you don’t understand…”

Zelena suddenly interrupted their argument. “I don’t want money, I just want the outfit. Without it, how can I go to Lucy’s birthday party tomorrow? Violeta, you’re not trying to keep me from going just because you can’t, right?”

Violeta fell silent.

These words changed the entire context.

What had been an unexpected accident that ruined a dress now had a different implication.

Zelena’s comment suggested that Violeta might have deliberately ruined the dress out of jealousy because she hadn’t received an invitation to Lucy’s party.

Candy and Gillian exchanged a glance, suddenly understanding.

“Oh!! So that’s what it is,” they said.

The classmates, guided by Zelena, began to murmur.

“Violeta didn’t get an invitation, and now Zelena’s dress is ruined. Is Violeta jealous? That’s so malicious.”

Candy added, “My God, you’re so scheming! You can’t go, so you don’t want anyone else to go? How can you be so devious? How do you sleep at night?”

Gillian chimed in, “Yeah, everyone knows Lucy’s birthday party is the Toland University Socialite Gathering. Only the well-known people get invited. Some people flaunt their status as the campus belle of Toland, but they didn’t get an invite. They must be seething with jealousy, scheming behind the scenes, and today they finally got their chance, huh?”

Zelena expected to see Violeta flustered and defensive, but to her disappointment, Violeta remained expressionless, not even bothering to explain.

This left Zelena feeling a bit let down.

She wanted to see Violeta look at her with the same envy and admiration she had felt for Zelena in the past.

Being able to attend Lucy’s birthday party was something that ordinary students at Toland University dreamed of and admired.

Everyone envied those who were invited.

Violeta didn’t want to waste time arguing with them.

“It’s clear that you must be really insecure. How insecure do you have to be to so darkly speculate about others’ intentions? Zelena, you’re truly pitiful.”

Zelena stood frozen as if struck by lightning.

Violeta walked past her, saying, “I told you, I’ll replace your dress. Don’t worry, I won’t let you go to Lucy’s birthday party naked.”

Before class started, Violeta called home and asked a servant to bring the new camellia dress from her wardrobe to school.

Chapter 229

The camellia series was also a limited edition from O’Hara this season, but it wasn’t as well-known as the petite luxe collection Zelena had chosen.

The reason was simple.

Firstly, the Camellia series wasn’t sold in Auratia this season, so it wasn’t popular domestically.

Its style was more elegant and grand, favored by royalty like the Wiltonshire duchess and Irene, who had specially arranged to have it brought from abroad. It exuded a low-key, luxurious, and restrained charm.

Secondly, the petite luxe collection had been overused by influencers on social media, with everyone claiming it made them look like true socialites. There were numerous knock-offs online, and it had been hyped up excessively.

The petite luxe collection that Zelena liked had also been sent to the White residence, but Irene found it too common and didn’t choose it, leaving the Camellia series for Violeta.

Violeta hadn’t worn it yet, and giving it to Zelena was actually a win for her.

But it was just a dress, and Violeta didn’t mind giving it away to get rid of bad luck.

When the servant brought the dress, Violeta was still in class.

So, the servant took it to the office and asked the advisor to give it to Violeta.

After class, the advisor came to the classroom.

“Violeta, your dress has arrived.”

“Okay.”

Violeta went up, took the dress, and handed it to Zelena, who was sitting in the front row.

The original O’Hara packaging bag had been discarded, and the servant had used a plain white bag, which didn’t look as fancy as the boutique’s gift box.

However, the bag was no less prestigious because it was an exclusive O’Hara membership bag. Many bloggers even used it as a fashion accessory, calling it the most expensive bag from O’Hara.

Only top-tier members received this bag, making it a status symbol of wealth. So, this simple bag was enough to determine whether someone was truly affluent.

“Here’s your replacement,” Violeta said, putting the bag down and walking towards the back of the classroom.

Zelena hesitated, but before she could speak, Hattie sneered, “What kind of bag is this? Did you dig it out of the trash?”

Candy added, “Yeah, what good stuff could be in that bag? Violeta, you ruined Lena’s limited edition outfit. That jacket alone cost over 4,000 dollars. Do you even understand what a limited edition is?”

Gillian pushed the bag aside disdainfully. “Ugh, it’s disgusting.”

Hearing this, Violeta stopped.

“Why don’t you open it first before you judge?”

She assumed they knew about luxury items, but apparently, they didn’t.

Once they saw the camellia design, a classic O’Hara element, they would recognize its value.

While Violeta was being ridiculed, Zelena felt a secret delight.

However, with many classmates and the advisor present, she couldn’t drop her facade.

So, she pretended to be gracious as she took the dress out of the bag.

“Violeta, even if you can’t afford to replace it, just apologize and I’ll forgive you. You don’t need to pretend you can. Although my petite luxe outfit isn’t cheap, I wouldn’t push you to the edge over a single dress.”

As she unpacked the dress, Zelena didn’t expect much from Violeta’s replacement.

Seeing the grey color, which she found unappealing, she said, “Violeta, I’m not picky, but you could have at least chosen something decent. This grey looks so old-fashioned!

“Even if you gave me something from Jour 24, I wouldn’t complain … “

Zelena trailed off as she noticed the camellia brooch on the chest and the camellia pattern on the collar.

She recognized these as O’Hara’s signature elements. The tag confirmed it was O’Hara, with the word “camellia” in English.

Violeta had replaced her dress with something from O’Hara?

Zelena was genuinely surprised. However, she quickly dismissed it.

This dress, while from O’Hara, looked like an old design from years ago. It couldn’t compare to her current season petite luxe outfit!

“Violeta, where did you get this dress?

“This dress is so outdated, unbelievable.

“If you can’t provide a proper replacement, then don’t bother. I thought you’d give me a petite love. but instead, you bring this grandma grey thing? It’s ugly and outdated.”

Zelena held the dress while Hattie rested her chin on her hand, looking at it mockingly

However, as sunlight hit the white shopping bag, the O’Hara logo reflected back at Hattie. Her mocking expression slowly faded, replaced by one of disbelief.

Chapter 230

This bag…

If she wasn’t mistaken, wasn’t this the bag that’s often called the most expensive member’s handbag by O’Hara fans online?

Hattie quickly grabbed the bag and examined it closely.

Violeta slowly walked up and stood in front of Zelena. She held one sleeve of the coat and said, “This isn’t gray. Strictly speaking, it’s crystal silver. The camellia on it is O’Hara’s most classic element. This coat, just like your previous little O’Hara-style pieces, is a new release for this year.”

As soon as Violeta finished her words, Candy and Gillian couldn’t wait to chime in.

“This is a new model this year? You must be joking. This coat doesn’t look new at all.”

“Exactly, the style and elements of this coat are outdated. It doesn’t seem like a new model but more like an old one from a few years ago. If it’s old, just admit it. Why insist it’s new?”

Zelena put down the coat and said, “Vio, when I bought clothes before, I specifically checked at the boutique. They didn’t have this coat at all, so stop lying. If it’s a new model, why isn’t it in the store?”

Sitting nearby, Hattie looked closely and saw that the bag really did reflect the logo in the sunlight, proving it was genuine.

When this bag first came out, it was mocked online as the “ugly bag.” People said it looked plain and boring, and they couldn’t believe such an ordinary bag came with such a high price. They thought it was really low-quality.

But later, when someone took the bag into the sunlight, they realized it had a logo that could only be seen under direct light.

After that, the bag slowly became a popular item among fashion influencers online.

Violeta actually have this bag?

Could she be a top-tier O’Hara member?

Hattie was very surprised. She quickly reached for the coat to take a closer look. As she opened it up, she immediately recognized it as the same style worn by the Wiltonshire princess!

The camellia pattern on the collar was a signature of the latest collection.

O’Hara’s Camellia series was a classic. It was timeless because it never got boring and added elegance and style when worn.

The current trendy styles might become rags in a few years, but classic pieces remained timeless, even after five years.

This coat was very popular online, but it hadn’t. gained much attention domestically because this series wasn’t released in the local market.

How did Violeta manage to get this coat? I didn’t realize her taste was so refined.

Hattie put the coat on the table and said, “This coat is O’Hara’s latest collection.”

Candy was taken aback. “What?”

Gillian was in disbelief. “No way.”

Zelena turned to Hattie, “You know this coat?”

Hattie replied, “Yeah, it’s definitely new. Keep it.”

Zelena still wasn’t quite convinced. “Hattie, are you sure about this? Is it really a new collection?”

Hattie felt she was being questioned, and she disliked being doubted. So she responded with some frustration, “If you can’t recognize it, does that mean I can’t either? This coat is not only new but also worn by a princess. Why don’t you check the news if you don’t believe me?”

Hattie looked away. “You can’t buy this coat in Hoiten. It’s not available here, but it’s quite popular online. It’s harder to get than your little O’Hara-style pieces.”

News?

Zelena’s expression stiffened.

Even if it wasn’t popular, just hearing it was worn by a princess tells you how prestigious it was, right?

Violeta looked at Hattie, grateful that she was there among this group of people. Otherwise, she would have had to personally educate Zelena today.

Zelena might have money now, but her elegance hadn’t caught up yet.

“Zelena, even if you don’t understand this coat, the ‘socialites’ you meet at birthday parties will definitely know about it.”

With that said, Violeta turned and left.

Zelena felt mocked and was quite resentful. As Violeta walked away, she sarcastically said, “Thanks a lot. You can’t make it to the birthday party, so you’ve generously sent me this dress. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to live up to your kindness!”

She continued to subtly taunt Violeta about missing out on the birthday party.

Violeta chuckled lightly. “Then I wish you all the best to shine brightly.”

Right after they finished talking, two figures appeared at the classroom door. The counselor turned and saw Lucy, asking, “Lucy, why are you here?”

After thinking it over for a few days, Lucy finally decided to come and invite Violeta herself.

Well, she hadn’t exactly figured it all out. She just didn’t have any other options left.

She wasn’t keen on coming over to invite Violeta herself, but she was afraid Violeta might not agree if someone else did it.

By coming in person, she figured she’d have a better shot.

She’d planned to drop by right after class, but to her surprise, their class counselor was still around.

Lucy stood at the doorway, her expression slightly frozen. “Class isn’t over yet?”

The counselor replied, “Oh, it is. Are you here to find someone?”
