Chapter 31
After the club registration ended, the tennis club announced the preliminary screening list and the unified assessment time.
Zelena logged into the website with a few followers, feeling confident as she checked the list.
But to her surprise, she saw Violeta’s name at the top of the list–in the first row!
She was astonished!
Impossible!
She had torn up the form that Violeta submitted, so how could her name still be on the list after the preliminary screening!?
The first one is Violeta? She’s incredibly lucky, others mocked.
With a tense expression, Zelena clenched her fist under her sleeve and said, “My sister has always been lucky. I remember last time, during military training, the tennis club president, Jasper, went to talk to her. They should be good friends!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to understand something in an instant.
“The heartthrob of the computer science department! I heard that Jasper is the most charming one and has had many girlfriends. Could it be that Jasper has taken a liking to Violeta?”
“Oh my god, now that I think about it, it’s very possible. Jasper’s ex-girlfriends have always been tall and aloof, just like Violeta.”
“Tsk tsk. It’s disgusting to think she got through this kind of relationship. I feel sick. Violeta exceeded my lowest expectations!”
Everyone discussed fervently, and this rumor somehow spread out.
The rumor became more and more outrageous, and soon, the entire performing arts department knew. about the inappropriate relationship between Violeta and the tennis club president, Jasper!
Some even say that Violeta was Jasper’s mistress. Even before he broke up with his previous girlfriend, she got involved with him.
Violeta ignored Red Hat for five days.
Once again, she hacked into Red Hat’s computer and opened the folder she had left behind.
Her words were still there, but underneath that passage, Red Hat had left two sentences:
“Who are you?”
“Are you ‘six‘ from the dark web?”
Violeta’s alias on the dark web was ‘six.
It seems that Red Hat is not foolish.
She wondered how Red Hat spent the days she ignored him
Violeta typed a series of numbers separated by periods into the document, accompanied by a smiling face emoji.
Then, she erased her tracks and logged out of her computer.
On the other side, a man with long, messy hair was eating in the Toland University cafeteria while looking at his computer.
He trembled with anticipation as he opened the file and saw the string of numbers left by Violeta, completely stunned.
Because those numbers left by Violeta were none other than his current IP address.
In other words, Violeta had already traced his IP.
As long as she wanted, she could find him at any time!
The smiling emoji left behind had a provocative meaning as if inviting him.
It seemed to say, “I have already exposed you completely. If you have the guts, come expose me too.
George frantically typed a bunch of text in the document.
But after thinking about it, he deleted it and only left the sentence: “Why me?”
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.
Violeta left early, carrying her bag with Tuna inside. The driver took her to Liberty Grove.
Getting out of the car, Violeta could see from a distance the magnificent entrance of Liberty Grove Apartments, which had been beautifully renovated.
Violeta came to see the house in Liberty Grove and also to meet Zelena as per their appointment.
Knowing that Violeta was coming, the apartment steward took the elevator down to greet her and escort her upstairs.
While Violeta was waiting for the elevator, Zelena and her three followers happened to arrive.
“Oh! Isn’t this Violeta? I didn’t expect you to come so early, one of Zelena’s followers exclaimed loudly.
Violeta turned her head slowly and gave them a chilly glance.
Little did she expect Zelena’s rented apartment to be in the same building as hers;
“When we were in class, you seemed reluctant to come, but who would have expected you to arrive faster than everyone else? It’s shocking,” Zelena remarked.
“Why don’t you take the elevator?” one of the assistants asked.
“She doesn’t have the fingerprint or password, so she definitely can’t use it. It’s obvious,” another assistant added.
The elevators in Liberty Grove were exclusive to each household, and one needed a password or fingerprint to access each floor.
They were correct. Violeta didn’t have the elevator fingerprint.
Since it was her first time visiting, she hadn’t had the chance to register her fingerprint yet, so the steward had to come down and greet her.
Zelena felt secretly delighted and approached Violeta, pretending to be concerned. “Sis, why didn’t you call me in advance that you were coming so early? You could have come with us in the same car if I had known.”
“Today, I rode in the extended series of the Rolls–Royce for the first time, and it feels completely different!”
Hearing their compliments, Zelena felt pleased.
She placed her hand on Violeta’s shoulder and said, “Sis, don’t be stubborn. You have my phone number. You could have called me…
Violeta hadn’t finished speaking when Tuna, peeking out of the bag, caught a glimpse of Zelena.
“Arfl
Tuna barked.
Zelena didn’t expect there to be a dog in Violeta’s bag! She was startled on the spot.
“Ah!”
“What is this!”
Zelena took a step back. She was terrified of dogs because she had been chased and bitten by one as a child. So, dogs were her least favorite!
The three people behind promptly supported Zelena.
They looked into Violeta’s bag and saw a scruffy dog head!
“Oh my! This dog is so ugly. Unbelievable.”
“It must be a mutt. Violeta, what kind of taste do you have to keep such an ugly dog??”
“Exactly. And you put it in your bag? It suddenly barks. Who are you trying to scare to death!”
Tuna tilted its head. It seemed to understand their insults, calling it ugly and saying it was a dog!
“Woofl Woof!”
Who’s a dog? Your whole family is a bunch of dogs!
Violeta patted its head. “Stop barking.”
Zelena stood firm, a hint of malice in her eyes as she looked at Violeta. This woman must have intentionally brought a dog to scare her!
Luckily, she reacted quickly earlier, or she would have been bitten!
“Sis, you know I’m afraid of dogs. There’s no need to bring a dog specifically to scare me!”
Zelena is afraid of dogs!
Violeta was surprised to learn this. She had no idea that Zelena was afraid of dogs.
Suddenly… Violeta remembered something.
Nolan had a golden retriever. This golden retriever had a great personality, and Violeta had interacted with this golden retriever in her previous life.
But shortly after Zelena and Nolan were together, the golden retriever accidentally ate something it shouldn’t have and died from poisoning.
In the previous life, everyone thought that the golden retriever had mistakenly ingested poison. Still, now it seems highly likely that it was because Zelena was afraid of dogs and intentionally poisoned the dog!
Zelena was unexpectedly so malicious!
Violeta looked at her with a sudden hint of hostility in her eyes.
“Tuna only barks at people she dislikes. If you come any closer, I can’t guarantee that she won’t bite you.”
Zelena’s face turned pale.
Three assistants spoke up in defense of Zelena. “Violeta, what are your intentions? You know Lena is afraid of dogs, yet you came to her apartment with a dog!”
“Yeah, it’s so malicious. How can there be someone like you? Lena, I think you better not let her in!”
Chapter 32
“She shouldn’t have been invited in the first place!”
The three of them became defenders of justice, standing up for Zelena.
Violeta found their words ridiculous.
“I’ve seen foot–binding, but I’ve never seen brain–binding. When did I say I wanted to be with you guys?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the three couldn’t wait to mock her.
“If you’re not with Lena, then why did you come to Liberty Grove?”
“Oh, so you think you’re the owner of the apartment in Liberty Grove? Dream on!”
“Yeah, I checked this apartment online before. The occupancy rate is 99%! Lena rented the only unit left, and the only vacant one is the rooftop garden on the top floor.”
“Oh, are you going to claim that you’re the owner of the rooftop garden? Hilarious! Do your research before making up lies!”
The higher the Liberty Grove’s apartment building floor, the more expensive it was. The price of the top floor was several times that of the regular floors.
Zelena had previously wanted to rent the top floor, but the rent was almost a five-digit number per month, and she couldn’t afford it.
If Zelena couldn’t rent the place, could Violeta?
Absolutely impossible!
Convinced that Violeta was just showing off, Zelena smiled and said, “Sis, don’t try to act tough. It’s okay, I don’t blame you. As long as you get rid of this dog, you can still come into my apartment. And if you want, you can even live with me!”
To the other three, it was obvious that getting rid of the stray dog in the bag was an obvious choice to move into the high–end apartments in Liberty Grove. Who would even consider such an option?
Comparing a stray dog to Liberty Grove?
Anyone with common sense would know what to choose!
Unexpectedly, Violeta sneered.
“Well, forget about this apartment. Even if you offered me all the apartments in Liberty Grove in exchange, I still wouldn’t give up Tuna. I wouldn’t trade her for anything, not even with your ten lives.”
“If you’re not using your eyes, you might as well gouge them out. Tuna isn’t just a stray dog. She’s a Kenai Peninsula wolf cub.”
Kenai what?
These words circled in the minds of the group, leaving them dumbfounded.
Not a stray dog, but a wolf cub
Who is she trying to fool?
Zelena said, “Sis, it’s just a stray dog. Stop fooling us. The elevator is almost here. Just get rid of it!”
Violeta thought she couldn’t understand human language and that something was wrong with her brain.
She couldn’t be bothered to say another word.
The elevator doors opened at that moment, revealing a middle-aged woman in a black uniform stepping out.
The woman glanced at the group standing by the elevator, and her gaze landed on Violeta. She politely smiled and said, “Ms, Violeta.”
The group was stunned.
Violeta spoke softly, “Ms. Silverleaf, the butler?”
Ms. Silverleaf nodded. “Yes, Ms, Violeta”
Zelena and the others exchanged glances, still not understanding what was happening.
“Ms. Violeta, please.”
Violeta entered the elevator, and Ms. Silverleaf glanced at the group by the door. “Aren’t you coming in?”
Zelena and the others finally realized what was happening and entered the elevator.
Ms. Silverleaf had excellent professional manners. After pressing the top floor button, she looked at Zelena and her companions politely and asked, “Are you not pressing a floor button?”
Zelena realized and reached out to press the 21st–floor button.
The top floor was the 22nd floor.
In other words, the floor Zelena rented was just below Violeta’s
The atmosphere in the elevator became heavy.
The phone vibrated twice, indicating a group message.
Zoren and the others were informed that Violeta had arrived at Liberty Grove, so they also wanted to join in the excitement.
Violeta took out her phone and responded to their messages.
The tuna emerged from the bag, its‘ round eyes glancing at Zelena and her companions, baring its teeth and looking fierce.
Zelena and her companions never expected Violeta to go to the top floor, Could it be that she lived there!
That seems highly unlikely…
As the elevator ascended, they quickly arrived at the 21st floor.
Zelena stepped out of the elevator, looking back three times. However, Violeta remained unfazed inside, still engrossed in replying to WhatsApp messages, not even glancing at them.
Finally, Zelena couldn’t help but ask Ms. Silverleaf, “Um, I want to ask. Does she reside on the 22nd floor?”
Ms. Silverleaf paused momentarily, looking at Zelena with a puzzled expression. “Are you referring to Ms. Violeta?”
Zelena replied, “She’s my sister, and as far as I know, she shouldn’t have the means to rent the top floor. So, I want to know what’s going on.”
“You’re Ms. Violeta’s sister?”
Ms. Silverleaf was very surprised. “I think you must have mistaken her.”
At this moment, Violeta finally finished replying to the messages, put away her phone, and stared coldly at
Zelena.
Zelena’s three companions also spoke up, saying. “Violeta is our classmate. How could we possibly be mistaken? So we also want to ask, did we misunderstand? Violeta cannot possibly be the tenant on the top floor. She is just an ordinary person. How could she afford to rent it!”
Ms. Silverleaf felt that these people were uncultured, so she said, “You are the ones who misunderstood. Rent? Sorry, the top floor is never available for rent.”
After speaking. Ms. Silverleaf pressed the button, and the elevator door slowly closed, leaving Zelena and her companions outside.
Not rented?
Could it be she purchased it?
Impossible!
If the top-floor apartment was purchased, it would be at an exorbitant price!
If rented, although Zelena would feel a bit hurt, she could still afford it.
But if purchased, she definitely couldn’t afford it.
If Zelena couldn’t afford it, how could Violeta afford it!
Watching the door close, Zelena’s heart twisted, and she couldn’t comprehend it.
“What on earth is going on?”
Zelena forced a smile. “I don’t know either. Forget it. Let’s go inside first. We can ask her about it next time.
One of them confusedly asked, “Lena, Violeta lives on the top floor. Could she have deceived your Dad and Mom into giving her money to rent the apartment? How could she be so wicked!”
Impossible.
They didn’t know, but Zelena was very clear about it.
Ever since Violeta left the Blake family, Zelena had been manipulating Mr. and Mrs. Blake, and they had long stopped giving Violeta any money, not even a penny.
How could they possibly give her money to rent such a nice apartment?
This person must have used some other method to live on the top floor.
“But speaking of it, being able to afford the Liberty Grove penthouse is already a sign of being an upper-class person in Quinston. I wish I could also go up to the garden on the top floor and have a look.”
The tone of this speech was exactly the same as the previous flattery towards Zelena.
Zelena turned her head and glanced at her.
The person speaking quickly shut her mouth, smiled at Zelena, and said, “But I still think you, Lena, are much better than Violeta. Violeta has a wicked heart!”
Zelena smiled insincerely and used her fingerprint to open the door to the apartment.
The group quickly walked in. Their faces filled with joy as they looked at this luxurious flat.
Upstairs.
Ms. Silverleaf opened the door. Violeta walked in, carrying Tuna out of her bag and placing it on the floor.
The decoration style of the entire apartment is a combination of light luxury and understated extravagance.
With its expansive floor–to–ceiling windows, the lighting is stunning. Tuna’s paws gracefully touched the floor as it joyfully scampered ahead.
Chapter 33
The rooftop aerial garden at Liberty Grove was renowned in Quinston.
Violeta ascended to the attic and took a leisurely stroll. The sunlight reflected off the glass and cast a warm glow on the artistic paintings that adorned the walls, Sunlight, plants, flowers, vines, and arches.
Everything here resembled a picturesque movie set.
Ms. Silverleaf climbed the stairs and noticed Violeta standing before a painting. She approached respectfully and asked, “Ms Violeta, would you like something to drink?”
Violeta replied. “Zoren and the others will be arriving later. Let’s prepare some cold beverages first.”
“Very well. I will prepare them now.”
As Violeta descended the stairs, she noticed Tuna struggling to climb them.
She stood at a higher vantage point, observing the little creature.
Violeta’s shadow loomed over Tuna’s small body. It raised its head and looked up at her with its round eyes.
“Arf!”
Violeta approached and lifted Tuna by the nape of its neck.
“You little one with short legs. You still can’t climb properly. Give it another half a month,”
“Arf!”
Shortly after, Hayden and the others arrived.
The four of them entered the apartment. Violeta held Tuna on the sofa, tilting her head to look at them.
“You’re here. Refreshments await. Come and have a seat.”
Zoren surveyed the decorations and exclaimed, “The more I look at this apartment, the more I like it. If I had known earlier, I would have bought a unit with Hade.”
Jasper retorted, “Come on. Did you even have the money to buy it back then?”
Violeta placed Tuna on the carpet and turned to ask, “Does Hayden also live in Liberty Grove?”
Liam walked over to the window, gesturing toward the glass house bathed in sunlight across the street. He said, “Hmm, Hade’s place is right across from you.”
“Huh?”
Violeta was stunned and stood up to walk to the window to look across.
“Hade’s place is on the top floor of Building Six, and you are in Building Five, directly facing each other.
Liberty Grove had a total of seven buildings, each with a top–floor apartment. Before the opening, the rooftop garden gimmick was heavily promoted.
One spot was sold at an exorbitant price, but it turned out that all the top–floor spots were pre-booked internally before the opening, with no chance of being available on the open market.
“What a small world.”
Violeta glanced at Hayden and unexpectedly met his gaze.
Hayden looked at her with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. Violeta’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked away.
Sitting on the sofa, Ms. Silverleaf brought cold drinks and some snacks.
After a short while, Zoren suggested, “Let’s go to Hade’s place. Vio, there’s nothing interesting here. We can’t just sit here and be bored.”
Jasper nodded. “Indeed. Vio’s decoration is too focused on aesthetics. There’s nothing fun, not even a projection screen to play games.
Violeta picked up Tuna and readily agreed.
“Sure, let’s go. I also want to see his place.”
They all stood up and left.
ఉ
Meanwhile, in Zelena’s apartment downstairs, they were discussing Violeta.
“Do you think the top floor really belongs to Violeta?”
“It’s impossible! How could Violeta afford it? It’s probably just a show–off!”
“Lena, is it the apartment that your parents bought for Violeta?”
Zelena forced a smile. “I don’t think so. My parents didn’t plan to buy a house in Quinston. We already have plenty in Arlowand, so there’s no need to acquire more properties.”
“Yeah, Lena, the biological daughter, doesn’t even have one, so how could Violeta, who isn’t even related by blood, have one? She must be pretending!”
“Let’s not worry about her, Lena. Let’s go downstairs and get some food. There’s hardly anything to eat at your place.”
Zelena nodded and said, “Sure.”
The group gathered near the elevator, but to their surprise, it had just descended from upstairs.
Violeta, Hayden, and the others were inside as the elevator doors slowly opened.
Violeta glanced at them with indifference, unaffected by their presence.
Meanwhile, Zelena and the others were completely ignored.
The doors closed automatically before they could enter the elevator, not sensing their presence.
Once the elevator doors closed, Zelena and the others erupted in disbelief.
“Oh my god! Why is Violeta with Hayden and the others!”
“I heard rumors at school that Violeta was dating Jasper. The top–floor apartment must belong to Jasper, not Violeta!”
“It was just speculation before, but now it’s confirmed?
“Jasper is known for changing girlfriends frequently. He must have been playing with Violeta! She has such low standards!”
“I used to think it was all gossip, but I didn’t expect it to be true. It’s disgusting. I have no respect for women who willingly degrade themselves like this.”
A malicious plan crossed Zelena’s mind, and she said, “Please, don’t say anything. If people find out that she went home with those men, her reputation will be ruined!”
“Ah, I thought she had changed, but I didn’t expect her to be like this when she came to Quinston. Back in Arlowand. Dad and Mom repeatedly warned her to change her flirtatious nature. She not only ignored the advice but also became even more excessive after coming here…
Zelena looked worried.
The three people next to her were shocked to hear her words,
Each of them had a shocked expression.
Wow, who would have known that Violeta was such a socialite?
Violeta followed Hayden to his apartment.
The interior of Hayden’s apartment had a high–tech style, with the entire house being automated.
You just had to ask for whatever you wanted, and a small robot would bring it to you.
Tuna excitedly chased after the little robot.
Violeta followed them to the game room, where a large screen projected a 5D gaming experience, showcasing the allure of high technology.
No wonder Zoren said Hayden’s apartment was much more fun than Violeta’s. The decoration alone in Hayden’s place probably cost millions.
But Hayden’s apartment only served as a place to play. He didn’t live there.
Violeta held the game controller and asked, “So, where does Hayden usually live?”
Zoren replied, “He lives with his family. The Frost family mansion is famous in Quinston. Haven’t you heard of it, Vio?”
The Frost family mansion is the largest estate in Quinston, passed down through several generations. It was once the residence of a noble in ancient times.
The Frost family had also divided several neglected small courtyards, which became tourist attractions in Quinston
You can imagine how prestigious the Frost family was in Quinston.
They had wealth, influence, and fame,
Hayden was born into a life of privilege!
Violeta carefully considered Zoren’s words and suddenly had a realization.
“Oh! So the Serene Residence at the scenic spot in Zenith is also owned by the Frosts?”
Yes.
Violeta was stunned.
In her previous life, Violeta had filmed at the Serene Residence!
The quaint little houses there had a vintage charm. Violeta was particularly fond of the small wooden cabin by the lake, which left a deep impression on her.
Zoren continued. “The Frost family didn’t want to spend money renovating those properties. After they were divided, Jasper’s family took them over and invested in renovations. It seems like they have plans to turn it into a filming location. They are still working on it.”
Upon hearing Zoren’s words, Violeta gained some additional information.
It turned out that the Serene Residence was owned by the Weekley Film and Television Group, which Jasper’s family owned!
“I see.”
“The location of the residence is quite good, so why did the Frost family divide it?”
Zoren smiled and replied, “You’ll have to ask Hayden about that. I have no idea.”
Chapter 34
As they chatted, Hayden approached with some beer cans.
Zoren noticed him and took one can.
“Thanks, Hade.”.
“You came at the right time. Vio wants to ask you something.”
Hayden handed Violeta a bottle of coconut milk. “What’s up?”
Violeta smiled slightly and asked, “The location of the Serene Residence is amazing. Why don’t you guys want it? It would be wonderful to go there for a summer getaway.
Hayden sat down beside her. “Shall we go to my place next time?”
“Huh?”
Violeta was surprised. How did a simple question lead to going to his house?
Hayden smirked lightly, took a sip of beer, and casually said, “If I take you to my place, you’ll know the answer.”
Violeta hadn’t responded yet.
Zoren couldn’t wait and exclaimed, “Great! We finally have the chance to visit Hade’s house. We should cherish it.”
“Jas, Liam, let’s go to Hade’s house next week.”
The two nearby individuals overheard this and promptly agreed.
Violeta didn’t understand what was so exciting about going to Hayden’s house, but since they were so eager, it must be something special.
“Okay. Let’s go after the tennis club assessment is over.”
The weekend came to an end.
The rumors about Violeta and Jasper at school were even more intense than the previous week.
As Violeta walked to class, everyone in the performing arts group whispered and gossiped about her.
The three individuals around Zelena, living up to her expectations, spread the reputation of Violeta as a socialite.
Zelena was secretly amused.
Violeta entered the classroom, and only Kaylee was willing to sit with her.
“Violeta, something big happened!”
Violeta took out her laptop and placed it on the table, responding nonchalantly, “What’s going on?”
Kaylee whispered, “Someone in the department spread rumors that you used to be a socialite. And this time, you joined the tennis club just to attract a guy. They said it in a very derogatory way, and now it’s spreading everywhere.”
“Didn’t you notice that when you walked over, they were all gossiping about you?”
Upon hearing this, Violeta paused for a moment and asked, “Weren’t they like this before? I’m used to it.”
Kaylee anxiously said, “This time it’s different. They’re spreading it with details, claiming that people who know your secrets have admitted it, and there are several witnesses who have seen it.”
The person who knows her secrets? It’s Zelena.
The witnesses? Three lackeys by Zelena’s side.
Violeta didn’t need to think about it. She knew it was them.
It must have been last weekend at Liberty Grove when they saw Violeta with Hayden and the other three. That’s why they spread the rumors.
In fact, Violeta had expected that Zelena would play this trick behind her back.
Because in the previous life, Zelena used the same tactics to try to tarnish Violeta’s reputation.
In the previous life, when faced with rumors, Violeta anxiously explained to everyone, but no matter how much she explained, she couldn’t dispel the baseless rumors,
But in this life, why should she clarify and explain?
Let them spread whatever they want. I don’t care.
Since they insist on saying this, Violeta will just go all out and make the rumors true!
At noon, Violeta decisively invited Hayden to have lunch in the cafeteria. They even sat on the crowded first floor!
Hayden and the other three rarely ate in the cafeteria, but since Violeta invited them, they came along.
Zoren said, “Vio, why did you suddenly ask us to have lunch in the cafeteria? We could have gone out to eat together. It’s too crowded here.”
The four of them had a great reputation in school, and it was the busiest time for lunch.
People were coming and going. Many of them glanced in their direction.
Violeta ate her meal slowly and asked, “Can you do me a favor? I know you don’t like eating in the cafeteria.
Jasper inquired, “What kind of favor?”
Violeta noticed Zelena and her friends entering the cafeteria so she quickly sat up straight and reached out to pat Jasper on the head.
The other three were taken aback when they saw this.
Jasper was even more confused.
“Vio, what are you doing?”
Violeta not only patted Jasper’s head but also scooped a spoonful of soup in front of her and fed it to Jasper, smiling at him. “Try some soup.”
Jasper was puzzled.
Hayden immediately looked at Jasper. Jasper felt like something terrible was about to happen to him.
Vio, stop messing with me. Why would I do that?”
“Just drink it! Consider it a favor for me!”
Jasper hesitated for a moment, not understanding the situation, but seeing Violeta’s urgent expression, he cautiously opened his mouth and took a sip.
Then. Violeta glanced at Zelena and her friends at the entrance.
As expected, she saw their shocked expressions, as if they had just eaten something disgusting. Then, they looked at Violeta with a knowing look.
Violeta smiled and said. “That’s enough.”
Zoren asked in confusion, “Vio, what’s going on?”
Violeta replied. There are rumors spreading in the performing arts department that I am a socialite.”
Zoren exclaimed, “What!? Who started this? I’ll confront them!”
Violeta shrugged indifferently, “Let them spread it. Since they’ve already done so, it would be disrespectful if I didn’t meet their expectations. From today on, I’ll embrace being a socialite.”
Many people in the cafeteria were envious that Violeta could sit with the four heartthrobs from the computer science department.
So, the rumors were fueled by envy and jealousy!
Hayden furrowed his brow and said, “Don’t talk about yourself like that.”
Liam asked, “Then why did you only give the soup to Jasper?”
Violeta replied, “Because they spread rumors that I am just a plaything for Jasper.”
They were shocked.
The three of them immediately turned their gaze towards Jasper.
Jasper straightened his back, as if the underworld king had targeted him, and his hands flew up in defense.
“No, no, no! Who started this? I would never dare to do such a thing! Don’t look at me like that. I swear I didn’t do it!”
Jasper had a reputation for changing girlfriends frequently.
His main interest was having fun.
So, it was understandable that rumors would circulate about him and Violeta,
Zoren narrowed his eyes and fiercely protected his sister, saying, “Jasper, if you even think about my sister in that way, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Jasper protested. “I didn’t do anything! I really didn’t!”
Jasper turned to Hayden, looking pitiful, and said, “Hade, I didn’t do it. I would never dare!”
They knew that Hayden felt differently about Violeta.
As friends, there was still a boundary.
Jasper only regarded Violeta as a sister and had never thought of her in any other way, so when he heard these rumors, he was completely taken aback!
Liam said. “It’s not about whether you did it. It’s about what people think.”
Jasper furrowed his brow and said, “I didn’t do anything. Why is this happening to me?”
Violeta calmly continued eating and said, “It’s probably because I joined the tennis club. It’s okay. You guys don’t need to worry about it. I can handle it myself.
Hayden fell into silence, unscrewing the bottle cap to take a sip of water.
The other three people beside them glanced at Hayden and then at Violeta.
Are they just going to ignore this?
It all depends on Hayden’s opinion!
Chapter 35
The news of Violeta feeding Jasper soup quickly spread throughout the department.
There were many people in the department who admired Jasper, and Violeta soon caught the attention of his enthusiastic fans.
After class, Violeta went to the restroom.
A few girls exchanged glances and secretly followed her.
Before entering the restroom, Violeta quickened her pace and turned a corner.
The girls didn’t expect Violeta to suddenly speed up, so they hurriedly followed and saw the stall door close. They quickly blocked the outside door with something and poured a bucket of water from above.
“Ah!”
“Who is it?”
A woman’s scream came from inside the stall.
The girls outside laughed and said, “Violeta! Let me tell you, I advise you to stay away from Jasper. Otherwise, you won’t have a good time in class!”
That’s right. Jasper is not someone a despicable person like you can get involved with. Don’t think you’re special just because you’re a little good–looking, Who among Jasper’s previous girlfriends wasn’t more beautiful than you?”
“And they were even wealthier than you! Who do you think you are? Just a fake heiress!”
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Violeta suddenly walked out from behind them and clapped her hands.
“Well done!”
“You did a great job!”
The girls turned around upon hearing the voice and were shocked to see Violeta standing behind them.
“What? Violeta, weren’t you inside? How did you end up outside?!”
Violeta stood with her arms crossed in front of them, her delicate face calm and composed. “Did you see me go in?” she asked.
The group was shocked.
“Who is in there?”
One of the girls slowly moved aside the object blocking the door, and the door opened slowly, revealing a young female teacher from the physical education class!
The teacher was completely soaked. She glared at the girls, angrily saying, “I will remember all of you!”
“Ma’am, we’re sorry.
The girls quickly apologized and begged the teacher for forgiveness,
Violeta chuckled lightly and left the restroom.
Tennis club assessment.
The tennis court was filled with many people, all of whom were members of the club.
After receiving their numbers, they started a 4v4 match, with the winning team advancing.
Kaylee was lucky to be paired with Violeta.
Kaylee asked Violeta, Violeta, how skilled are you at playing?”
Violeta smiled faintly and weighed the tennis ball in her hand. I’m decent, fairly average.”
Kaylee laughed and said. “Then I’ll partner with you. I’m pretty good at playing!“.
Violeta raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”
Kaylee swung her tennis racket proudly. “I’ve competed in a city tournament before and won the championship in my category!”
Not far away. Zelena was surrounded by a group of people. She saw Violeta preparing for the assessment and thought to herself, “I must not let Violeta pass the assessment. It would be best to eliminate her in the preliminary selection.”
She had already bribed the person in charge of the preliminary competition, asking him to match Violeta with a strong opponent.
With Violeta’s limited skills, she definitely wouldn’t be able to compete!
Zelena knew Violeta well and knew that she couldn’t play tennis.
“Lena, look at how amateur Violeta looks in that outfit. She clearly doesn’t know how to play tennis!”
“Yeah, I wonder what she’s thinking. Is she trying to flirt with the upperclassmen at the tennis club?”
“Come to think of it, she’s just a socialite!”
Most girls who came for the assessment today wore tennis outfits, sportswear, and athletic shoes.
Zelena, on the other hand, was wearing a professional tennis skirt set. Her legs were fair and long. attracting the attention of many boys on the tennis court.
In contrast, Violeta had not changed her clothes. She was still wearing her casual attire from afternoon classes, wrapped up quite modestly and casually.
Zelena smiled and said, “Oh, come on. Don’t say that. Violeta may not know how to play tennis, but she might have a natural talent for it.”
“Haha. Lena, don’t joke around. A natural talent? Come on, look at her!”
This group of people continued to mock Violeta.
Zelena felt secretly pleased.
When Violeta and Kaylee went to draw their opponents, the person in charge handed them a number and said, “Your opponents are over there.
They turned their heads and saw two freshman boys standing not far away.
Kaylee looked puzzled and asked, “Are you sure? We’re two girls. Why are we being matched with boys?”
The senior in charge glanced at them and said, “In our tennis club preliminary assessment, we have mixed–gender matches. Didn’t you see that some of the teams are mixed? It’s just bad luck that you two girls ended up as a team.
Although that was the case, the chances of two girls being matched with two boys were still very low.
Unless they won the lottery.
This was clearly unfair!
Kaylee frowned, about to retort.
But a sentence stopped them, “Are you going to compete or not? If you don’t want to, just quit. Why are you being so pretentious and picky? The tennis club doesn’t cater to you!”
Kaylee’s expression froze.
Violeta glanced at the badge on his chest and remembered his name, Henry Wolfe.
“We will compete. Since we have already drawn lots, let’s just do it.”
Violeta patted Kaylee’s shoulder, and they left.
Kaylee complained. “Could this be a conspiracy? This is outrageous!”
At that moment, a little sweet laughter came from a distance. Violeta looked over and saw Zelena and her group.
She knew. This must be another scheme by Zelena.
“It’s okay. If we are eliminated in the preliminary selection, it will save us time. After all, the later matches will be against strong opponents, and we will eventually meet them.”
Kaylee nodded. “That’s true. It’s not embarrassing to lose to the strong.”
The match started quickly.
Violeta and Kaylee entered the court one after another.
Although Violeta was dressed casually, she was stunning. A photographer was recording the preliminary matches, and the footage would be edited into a short video later.
Under the high–definition camera, Violeta’s delicate features were visible, and she looked breathtaking on the screen.
Soon, people started discussing.
“This year’s freshman is beautiful. Is she from the performing arts department?”
“There are always many beauties in the performing arts department. If she wants to enter the entertainment industry in the future, she has to be beautiful, right?”
“It’s true. It’s rare to come across someone like this junior. She’s just as impressive as those celebrities. nowadays. What’s her name?”
Zelena sat in the front row, hearing the people’s comments and feeling envious.
This girl always stole her spotlight!
That face should be ruined!
If only Violeta had used sunscreen, her face would be unbearable to look at!
This girl just got lucky. Next time, she must find another opportunity to ruin her face. Otherwise, she’ll always be a threat!
Just as Violeta was competing. Nolan entered through the side door with a few student council members. They happened to stop and witness Violeta’s impressive performance on the tennis court.
Every time he saw her, he could see a different side of her.
Originally, Nolan was coming in to grab something, but he paused and observed the thrilling match.
Chapter 36
ఉ
A complete tennis match typically lasts about an hour. However, since this was a friendly match, losing. three points would result in losing the game. Initially, Kaylee felt nervous as she was facing two boys. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to coordinate well with Violeta. Surprisingly, as the match heated up, Violeta’s performance amazed her even more. Kaylee had thought that Violeta couldn’t play tennis, but she displayed incredible skills! Not only did Violeta’s tennis skills surprise Kaylee, but they also astonished the other spectators, Violeta managed to return every hall they thought she couldn’t reach with ten times the force, catching the two boys on the other side off guard. In just twenty–seven minutes, the match came to an end, and
Violeta and Kaylee didn’t lose a single point. The match was intense Initially, they had expected the boys to dominate, but the result was unexpected. The referee announced Violeta and Kaylee’s team as the winners, and the audience burst into enthusiastic applause. Violeta unzipped her tracksuit and walked towards the sidelines, grabbing a bottle of water to drink. Kaylee followed her, filled with excitement, and couldn’t stop talking. “How did you manage to catch that ball? It was incredible! I thought you wouldn’t be able to, but you did! Violeta, you’re my hero!” The fact that Violeta led them to win first place in the military training and even broke the record was already surprising enough. Now, everyone thought they were in a losing situation, but Violeta turned the tide. It’s incredible! Violeta took a sip of water and smiled at Kaylee. “I told you. It’s not embarrassing to lose to a strong opponent. Sitting in the audience, Zelena knew that Violeta had won the match. It made her feel even worse than eating dirt! How is this possible? This girl actually won the match!
What the hell is Henry doing? Didn’t he arrange strong opponents for them? Why did Violeta still win the match?
Damn it!
Zelena clenched her water bottle, almost unable to hold back her emotions. Suddenly, an unexpected voice came from beside her. “Violeta won. I thought she couldn’t play tennis.” “Is this what they call talent?” At this moment, Zelena saw something that made her even more unable to hold back. She saw Nolan standing next to Violeta, chatting with her like old friends. Seeing this scene, Zelena stood up in a rush and quickly approached them. While drinking water, Violeta casually responded to Nolan. “I watched the entire match just now. You played really well. “Thank you.” “Did the mosquito repellent come in handy earlier?” Sitting next to Violeta, Kaylee was surprised that the student council president suddenly came over to talk to her. But Nolan is so handsome! Kaylee occasionally glanced at Violeta and Nolan, thinking they looked good together. However, she couldn’t understand why Violeta seemed indifferent towards Nolan as if she didn’t want to engage with him. “I didn’t use it,” Violeta said. Upon hearing Violeta’s words, Nolan felt slightly disappointed but still asked, “Why?” Before Violeta could answer, he caught a glimpse of Zelena rushing over. Violeta smiled and said, “You can ask her.” Nolan furrowed his brows and looked at Zelena, who was running towards them. Zelena quickly tidied her hair and smiled at Nolan, saying, “Hi, Nolan.” Nolan asked, “Did you use the mosquito repellent?” Zelena was taken aback and answered, “Mosquito repellent…?” At that moment, Kaylee deliberately spoke up, “Oh, so it turns out that Nolan gave the mosquito repellent to Vio. Some people have no shame! They were going around claiming that Nolan gave it to them! Tsk tsk tsk!” Kaylee was intentionally trying to embarrass Zelena. What perfect timing. Zelena’s expression froze.
The others who had come with Zelena also heard Kaylee’s words and exchanged glances, seemingly understanding something.
Nolan exclaimed, “I gave it to you? I never gave it to you.“.
Zelena felt embarrassed and wished she could disappear, but she was shameless.
She quickly said to Violeta, “Sis, you gave me the mosquito repellent, right? I thought Nolan gave it to me. You didn’t make it clear.”
Violeta raised an eyebrow, confused.
“When did I say I gave it to you? You took it from me.”
Violeta didn’t mind that Zelena had taken it. However, at this moment, she couldn’t help but enjoy seeing Zelena embarrassed.
Zelena’s face turned pale and then flushed.
Nolan glanced at Zelena and told Violeta, “I still have a few bottles of water over there. You can have them. They’re cold.”
Violeta replied. “Okay. Let’s go, Kay.”
Kaylee agreed, “Sure!”
The three of them left gracefully, leaving Zelena standing there with a grim expression.
Now, she hated Violeta even more.
Violeta followed Nolan to the lounge of the tennis court to get water. But once they arrived, she didn’t enter.
After Kaylee had gone in and taken two bottles, she didn’t want to take more, so she came out.
Thank you, Nolan.”
After expressing her gratitude, Violeta and Kaylee turned and left.
Kaylee seemed to sense Violeta’s reluctance towards Nolan, so she asked, “Vio, why do I feel like you’re a bit resistant to Nolan? I think he’s a nice person.”
Violeta lowered her eyelashes and said, “I know he’s a nice person.”
Nolan was simply too good. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have liked him in her previous life.
But perhaps it was because of her experience in her previous life, where Nolan was with Zelena, the person she hated the most. Violeta had mixed feelings towards Nolan.
She didn’t want to have any interaction with Nolan in this life.
She just wanted to make up for the regrets of her previous life and reach the peak to see the scenery she hadn’t seen before.
Regardless of whether Nolan continues to be with Zelena in this life, Violeta has no control over it.
“That’s none of my business. I have nothing to do with him.”
Kaylee pressed the ice water against her face and said, “Hey, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be able to drink these two water bottles. But Vio, it’s great to be friends with you! I get to see a handsome guy, haha.”
“Nolan is very handsome, but The Beatles were also good back then!”
“By the way, who do you think is more handsome between Hayden and Nolan?” Kaylee asked Violeta curiously.
Violeta was taken aback and responded. “Why are asking me this? I don’t know!
Hayden and Nolan are not the same type of person…
田
Hayden Frost, as his name suggests, is like a cold and proud pine tree. He is indifferent and sometimes even a bit sarcastic.
Although Nolan Spencer’s name implies nobility, in reality, he is warm-hearted and polite.
He is different from Hayden. If Hayden doesn’t like someone, he simply ignores them.
It’s like comparing an angel and a devil, so it’s impossible to compare. Both of them have their good. qualities.
Kaylee lightly bumped Violeta’s shoulder and said, “Come on, you must have a preference in your mind. Tell me!
Chapter 37
“I don’t want to choose anyone. But if I have to, I would choose the devil.”
In her previous life, she had already chosen an angel, but the angel’s radiance did not shine upon her. She was covered in scars.
So, in this life. Violeta wanted to be a devil, to accompany the devil. What’s wrong with that?
She wanted to live a good life and for the people around her to live well too.
Kaylee didn’t understand Violeta’s words and asked, “What is a devil?”
Violeta smiled faintly and didn’t answer.
When they returned to the tennis court, someone quickly came to strike up a conversation.
“Here they are. Come quickly.”
A group of people surrounded them. “Hey, you played so well just now! Have you played tennis matches before?”
“Yes, you two played really well. It was such an exciting match!”
Kaylee blushed and said, “I was just cooperating with Violeta. You should ask her how she managed to hit those balls.”
Actually, Violeta had no experience playing tennis, but it was just about hitting the ball and hitting it back.
In her previous life, when she was a martial arts substitute, practicing martial arts, catching flying darts, and standing in a stance required her attention to be much more focused than an ordinary person’s. So naturally, her reaction to catching the ball would be faster than an ordinary person’s.
Before joining the tennis club, Violeta familiarized herself with the rules of tennis and then joined the match…
She was just playing casually.
Violeta replied modestly, “Actually, I don’t know how to play. I just got lucky.”
Violeta and Kaylee’s outstanding performance on the court has undoubtedly made them formidable newcomers who will definitely join the tennis club this year.
Finally, they managed to shake off the relentless questioning.
Violeta had just sat in the audience seat to take a break when a few sarcastic remarks came from the back row.
“She’s such a poser. She can play but pretends she can’t. What’s the point of pretending? It’s disgusting.”
“Well, we’ll just have to get used to it. Not only does she like to put on a show, but she also flirts with the seniors. How can someone like her be in our class? It’s beyond words.”
“She must enjoy being flattered by others. She only knows how to bully someone like Lena. She’s a bully.
Violeta remained expressionless as she replied to the messages on her phone.
Unable to bear it any longer, Kaylee turned her head and glared at them, shouting, “You guys are so foul-mouthed!”
There were three of Zelena’s lackeys sitting in the back row. Zelena was absent, so they wanted to vent their anger on Violeta.
Lily said, “Having a foul mouth is better than having a foul heart like some people. It’s true that birds of a feather flock together!”
Gillian added, “Yeah, everyone saw it just now. When Nolan approached, some people eagerly followed him like dogs!”
Candy continued, “Nolan came over to find Lena, but some people couldn’t resist approaching him first. Now Lena is crying because of them. It’s truly disgusting. They’re social butterflies!”
Kaylee stood up and exclaimed, “What is wrong with you three? Do you need to go to the hospital? I can take you! Do you want to go to the psychiatric department or the gynecology department? Just mind yourselves and stop talking nonsense all day long! It’s affecting the air quality in our city!”
The tension between the two sides was about to escalate.
Just then, three figures approached the entrance of the tennis club.
It was Hayden, Zoren, and Jasper.
Lily exclaimed loudly, “What? Did we say something wrong? Violeta is just pretending to be rich! Everyone in our class knows that! She used to flirt with men, and now she’s even targeting the senior members of the tennis club! Disgusting, she’s nothing but promiscuous!”
These words reverberated in the tennis club and reached the ears of Hayden and his friends.
Upon hearing this, Zoren’s expression turned grim.
Violeta was a beloved member of the White family. Now, she was being insulted in such a manner at school.
This is unacceptable!
If Nollan were to find out about this, he would cause chaos in the tennis club.
The three of them glared at Lily, who was still standing with her hands on her hips, ready to continue her verbal attack. But suddenly, she trembled and looked up. Her eyes met with three pairs of dark, intense gazes.
A chill ran down her spine, and she felt a sense of fear.
Jasper said. “You’re spreading nonsense here, which is affecting the evaluation of the tennis club. What are you even doing here?”
Zoren retaliated, “Are you an orphan? Or were you raised without a mother? Why is your language so vulgar?”
Hayden added. “Does Toland University admit students with such poor manners?”
Violeta sat on a bench, holding her phone and crossing her legs.
Lily’s face turned extremely red. When the tennis club members saw them, they hurriedly approached and promptly kicked Lily out.
Gillian and Candy, who were sitting next to Lily, didn’t dare to say a word.
Everyone knew that Jasper was the president of the tennis club. Since he had spoken, Lily would not be able to remain in the tennis club. There was no need for any evaluation; she would be expelled directly.
And Hayden’s words were even harsher.
Hayden’s family held a prominent position at the school. It was uncertain whether Lily would be able to continue studying at Toland University in the future.
Initially, everyone thought it was just a typical argument between girls.
But unexpectedly, Hayden and the other two suddenly came over and openly supported Violeta. Everyone was shocked.
It seemed that Violeta had a close relationship with them.
After Lily was expelled, the evaluation continued.
Hayden and the other two approached Violeta.
Zoren asked. “Vio, have you finished the evaluation?”
Violeta nodded and said, “Yes. You guys are late. I achieved a complete victory!”
Jasper leaned against the railing and asked, “Oh really? Then I’ll go back later and ask for the videotape to watch.”
Hayden said, “Since the evaluation is over, let’s go grab a bite to eat,”
Violeta picked up her bag from the ground and nodded, saying, “Okay. Let’s go.”
“Kay, come with us for a meal too,”
Kaylee was pleasantly surprised and said, “Oh, okay.”
They left the tennis court together. Not long after, Zelena returned from the restroom.
Candy and Gillian recounted the incident to Zelena. Zelena was shocked and asked, “What? You’re saying that Hayden and the others stood up for Violeta? How is that possible?”
Candy responded, “Yes, we don’t know what happened either. We were both driven away just now. Lena, what should we do now? I heard that the Frost family is in a high position at our school. If we offend Hayden, will we both be expelled?”
Why did they go all out for Violeta? That’s unlikely.
Zelena couldn’t believe Hayden would use his connections to get Lily expelled just for Violeta.
In her memory, Violeta had nothing to do with Hayden and the others in her previous life. How did Violeta, this despicable person, get involved with Hayden and the others in this life?
Zelena pondered but couldn’t come up with an explanation.
She said, “It’s okay. I know Lily was also helping me. Don’t worry, I won’t ignore her. I won’t let her be expelled. Just relax.”
Hearing Zelena’s words, Candy and Gillian felt relieved.
Candy said, “I’m not sure what Violeta did to Jasper and the others, but it seems they are supporting her.”
Gillian added, “It’s obvious. She must have charmed them!”
Chapter 38
Kaylee followed Violeta and the others as they left school.
Liam was waiting for them at the school gate.
The four boys and two girls left the gate and went to a Korean restaurant, where they reserved a private room for lunch.
When it was time to order, Violeta handed the menu to Kaylee.
“Kay, you can place the order.”
Kaylee took the menu carefully and noticed that even the cheapest set meal cost over 60 dollars.
Being an ordinary college student, Kaylee only received 270 dollars as her monthly living allowance.
How could she afford such an expensive meal? So, she handed the menu back.
“Vio. you can order instead.
Violeta noticed Kaylee’s embarrassment and said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to pay.”
Zoren nodded. “Yeah, you two girls are dining out with us. Why would you need to pay? Just order whatever you want. No need to be polite.”
Only then did Kaylee feel relieved, but she only ordered some ordinary dishes.
Then, the menu was passed around for everyone to place their orders.
While ordering. Violeta’s gaze fell upon a coffee shop across the street called Sunset Cafe.
She was very familiar with this cafe because she had worked there for half a year to save money in her previous life. The couple who owned the cafe treated her very well. They encouraged and supported her when they discovered her dream of becoming an actress.
During her most difficult times, they even let her eat and stay at the cafe for free.
Unfortunately, the cafe didn’t do well and closed down. The couple returned to their hometown, and Violeta never saw them again.
In her previous life, she regretted being unable to repay these two kind people.
Hayden noticed Violeta’s gaze was constantly fixed on the cafe across the street, so he asked, “Would you like some coffee?”
Violeta withdrew her gaze and smiled at Hayden, saying, “I want to go to the cafe across the street later.”
Hayden replied, “Sure, I’ll accompany you.”
After finishing their meal, Kaylee still couldn’t believe she had the opportunity to dine with such a popular figure from school.
After leaving the restaurant, Kaylee politely bid farewell and returned to her dormitory.
Hayden and the other three accompanied Violeta to the Sunset Cafe.
ఉ
The cafe was small, with only seven or eight small round tables inside. No one was behind the counter, but there was a small lucky cat ornament on the cabinet.
Violeta walked over and touched the lucky eat ornament with her hand.
Then, they heard the owner’s voice as she came out from behind the curtain, saying, “Welcome! The menu is here. Just order whatever you like.”
Hayden and the others had only ever been to an upscale cafe and had never been to a regular one like this.
However, they didn’t show any hint of disdain on their faces due to their good manners. Instead, they politely placed their orders and found a seat,
Violeta ordered an iced Americano and then scanned the familiar surroundings of the cafe. She felt a sense of nostalgia as if she had been here just yesterday in her previous life.
The owner started to get busy. When she brought several cups of fragrant coffee, Hayden and the others sniffed and were surprised.
They didn’t expect that such an ordinary cafe would use top–quality beans.
Violeta had an expression of “You finally know that this cafe is a treasure.”
“Madam, your coffee beans smell amazing!”
The owner smiled happily and said, “Although our cafe is small, we use good coffee beans. Our main focus is on cost-effectiveness. As long as you like it, please come again next time.”
Violeta picked up the coffee and took a sip. It tasted familiar to her.
Then she said, “Madam, are you planning to sell this cafe?”
The owner was taken aback and asked, “How did you know? I am indeed considering selling the cafe. Business has been tough, and I plan to return to my hometown with my husband. However, I haven’t made a final decision yet. After all, this coffee shop is my dream.”
Violeta quickly wrote down her phone number on a piece of paper and said, “If you ever decide to sell the cafe, please give me a call. I am interested in taking it over.”
Hayden and the others were taken aback by her sudden decision.
Why did Violeta suddenly make such a choice?
Even if she wanted to open a cafe, there were better options available.
The owner’s expression froze for a moment before responding. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Violeta reassured, “That’s alright. Just contact me when you are ready to sell. If you can’t bear to part with this cafe, we can also discuss a partnership. I can hire you, and we can continue working together.”
The owner was confused by Violeta’s words.
She didn’t really want to give up this cafe because opening a cafe was her dream. If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t sustain it anymore, she wouldn’t have been willing to sell it.
But she didn’t expect the young lady in front of her not only wanted to buy her cafe but also offered to hire them and pay their salaries.
“Miss, this cafe doesn’t do well. The monthly revenue is only a few hundred
“It’s okay. Please take your time to consider.”
The owner wanted to say that hiring more staff wouldn’t be cost-effective due to the poor business.
Violeta knew better than anyone that this cafe didn’t have good business.
But in her previous life, the couple was willing to help her even when the business was not going well. They didn’t need to hire another person, but they still paid her a salary. Although not much, it was enough to cover her expenses then.
Moreover, if the couple were evil, they could have kept the fact that the cafe didn’t have good business a secret from Violeta so they could negotiate a higher price. —
But the owner didn’t do that, which meant they were good people.
So now Violeta was also willing to help them.
The owner took Violeta’s contact information.
After a moment, Violeta and her group left the cafe.
Zoren persuaded, “Vio if you want to open a cafe, there are better locations with more foot traffic. It’s too risky here. You might not even make a profit.”
“I want to take over because there are fewer people here. It’s peaceful.”
“Well, your happiness is priceless.”
Hayden said. “It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
“Yeah.”
The tennis club’s rematch would be in three days.
Meanwhile, the news of Lily’s dismissal spread the next day.
After this news came out, both Candy and Gillian were shocked.
Zelena was also astonished. She never expected Lily to be expelled, and Hayden stood up for Violeta.
Lily’s dismissal undoubtedly served as a warning to others and improved the atmosphere in the class.
However, at the same time, Zelena grew even more disgusted with Violeta.
She is the class, claiming that Violeta is despicable.
Candy and Gillian continue spreading malicious rumors about Violeta at the performing arts.
This directly fueled the animosity towards Violeta from the other performing arts classmates.
During the tennis club rematch. Zelena wanted to find someone to help her, but no one was willing.
After the incident at the tennis court last time, the tennis club members realized that Violeta had a special relationship with their club president. Who would be willing to take the risk of helping her target Violeta?
Violeta sat on the side, drinking water. At the same time, Henry, the person in charge of the preliminary evaluation for the tennis club, approached with a bottle of water.
He said with a flattering expression, “Violeta, have some water.
Chapter 39
Violeta gave him a cold glance and ignored him.
Henry handed the water to Kaylee, who was sitting next to him. Perhaps he thought she was more approachable. Here
Kaylee glanced at him and sarcastically replied, “Oh, you weren’t like this yesterday. Why are you so two- faced?”
Henry was taken aback for a moment and awkwardly smiled. “Yesterday was actually a misunderstanding.
Kaylee retorted, “It wasn’t a misunderstanding. We were being too dramatic. Sorry for wasting your time.”
Henry had previously accused Violeta and Kaylee of being dramatic.
Now, Kaylee retaliated with sarcasm.
It seemed like holding grudges was her specialty.
Violeta couldn’t help but chuckle.
Coincidentally, it was their turn to play.
Kaylee said, “Vio, let’s go. It’s our turn.”
“Okay.”
The two of them left the resting area, leaving Henry standing awkwardly in place, still holding two bottles of water.
Candy walked over and said to Henry, “Henry, don’t try to please Violeta. She looks down on people like us. She used to be the heiress of Arlowand’s Blake family and lived the life of an upper–class person.
“What?”
“However, she’s just a fake heiress. She’s still pretending to be high and mighty.
Candy exaggeratedly explained the relationship between Zelena and Violeta to Henry.
She emphasized that Zelena was the real heiress, while Violeta was just a fake one.
Henry’s face changed immediately. “No wonder. She’s just a social butterfly. How dare a fake rich girl act so high and mighty! How disgusting.
Candy said, “She’s deceived Jasper and his friends. We can’t afford to mess with her.”
Henry looked at Violeta, who was playing a match on the court, and said fiercely, “Don’t worry, the club president changes girlfriends very quickly. Violeta won’t stay by his side for more than two months. When the president doesn’t want her anymore, I’ll make her regret it! How dare she humiliate me!”
Candy felt satisfied upon hearing Henry’s words.
Violeta and Kaylee successfully won the preliminary round.
If they won the round of 16 in two days, they would become official members of the tennis club.
It was said that Jasper had booked the Heaven Hotel that night, and all the members who successfully. joined the tennis club and could attend the party.
During their free time at noon, Violeta would go to the Sunset Cafe with Kaylee.
Kaylee, remembering a previous meal, suggested treating Violeta to coffee.
Violeta did not refuse. She knew that if she did not let Kaylee repay this favor, she would always remember it.
It was rumored in the department that Violeta was getting close to Hayden and the other three because Violeta was Jasper’s new “plaything.
However, only Kaylee knew that Violeta and the others were like siblings and they all treated Violeta as a little sister.
Kaylee was smart enough not to ask any inappropriate questions.
On the day of the finals.
Violeta was paired with Zelena during the draws.
Zelena used her connections to make it to the finals, and her method of dealing with opponents was simple.
She would simply bribe them. As long as they made it easy for Zelena, she would give them a sum of money.
Using this method, Zelena smoothly made it to the finals. Originally, she would have smoothly entered the tennis club, but unfortunately, Zelena encountered Violeta.
During the draw, both of them drew the same number.
“Number 7.”
Zelena opened the envelope and couldn’t believe her eyes. “Number 7
Upon hearing that, Violeta turned to look at Zelena.
Zelena also stared at Violeta in disbelief, clutching the piece of paper tightly in her hand.
“What a coincidence. Violeta smiled lightly. “I suggest you wear a face guard during the match this afternoon. I won’t go easy on you.”
With that, Violeta turned and walked away.
Zelena angrily threw the piece of paper on the ground, gritting her teeth.
How despicable!
Zelena swung her racket forcefully, refusing to believe that Violeta’s tennis skills were that good! It was all just hearsay.
Noon.
Violeta received an unexpected message from Hayden.
Only six words.
“Meet me at the back door.
Violeta went to the back door and saw Hayden leaning against his sports car on the side of the road, dressed in a white casual luxury outfit. At that moment, he was slightly lowering his head and holding a phone in his hand. The sunlight was shining on him, making every strand of his hair appear golden.
Then, Hayden raised his eyes and met Violeta’s gaze.
Violeta’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she approached him. “Why did you ask me to come here?”
Hayden looked into her eyes and suddenly smiled. After that, he turned to open the front trunk and took out a set of tennis rackets to hand to Violeta.
Her fair and slender hands looked beautiful against the black nylon bag.
“What is this?”
“Tennis rackets.”
Violeta paused slightly. “Tennis rackets?”
Hayden closed the front trunk and leaned against the car, looking tough as he said, “You like purple, right? I customized it for you. The finals are this afternoon, so it’s the perfect time to use them.”
Violeta did not expect Hayden to remember this.
Without hesitation, she took the tennis rackets from him. When she opened them, she saw a purple and pink set, and the quality was visibly good.
“Is this a perk that every member of the tennis club gets?”
Hayden chuckled lightly and then placed his hand on Violeta’s head, ruffling her hair. ‘Only you have it.”
Violeta was taken aback and took a step back, her ears turning slightly red…
“Why are you touching my head?”
“If I want to touch it, I will. How about you touch mine?”
Violeta pursed her lips, gave him a disdainful look, and then continued to admire the rackets.
“They’re so beautiful, I can’t bear to use them. I’ll accept it as a gift then, thank you.”
Hayden said, “No, you have to use them. If you don’t, you’ll be in trouble this afternoon when I come to watch the match.”
Violeta did not believe that Hayden would actually act that way to her, She challenged him saying “I don’t believe you. All right. I’m leaving…”
Just as Violeta turned around with the rackets on her back. Hayden grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Caught off guard, she fell into Hayden’s arms and her fair neck was exposed to his gaze. He looked at it and lowered his voice, saying, “You’ll be in trouble if you don’t use them.”
Violeta raised her eyes and met his deep, mysterious gaze, her heart pounding-
After she quickly regained her composure, Violeta took a step back.
“Do you even know what you’re doing?” she asked.
“If someone sees us, we’re done for! They’ll definitely say I’m up to no good…”
Hayden interrupted, “Well, that’s perfect. I don’t mind.”
He had gone mad.
Violeta’s heart skipped a beat, but luckily her rationality prevailed.
“Enough with the games. Let go of me, I need to go back.”
Upon hearing her words, Hayden released her wrist. “Go ahead, I’m going to watch the game this afternoon. Remember to use them.”
Violeta turned and ran away with the rackets without looking back.
She ran all the way back to the cafeteria, where Kaylee was waiting for her.
After sitting down, Violeta drank some water.
“What’s that and why were you in such a hurry?”
“Unbelievable.”
Violeta’s face turned red.
Chapter 40
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Have you finished eating? Let’s go to the tennis court.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
The two of them left the cafeteria and arrived at the tennis court.
By now, several people were already warming up here.
Violeta, carrying the tennis rackets given by Hayden, came to the resting area with Kaylee.
Not long after, Zelena, Candy, and Lily also arrived.
Zelena and Candy formed a team, while Gillian and Lily, who were previously expelled, also teamed up. After Lily was expelled. Gillian quit the assessment since she no longer had a teammate.
The three of them walked past the resting area, and Candy disdainfully glanced at Violeta and Kaylee.
Kaylee did not hold back and glared back.
Zelena sat down and took out her own tennis racket from her bag.
It was a vibrant green racket, catching everyone’s attention.
When Candy saw it, she exclaimed, “Wow, Lena, your racket is so beautiful! It must be custom–made!”
Zelena smiled shyly. “Yes, my parents heard that I joined the tennis club and specially ordered it for me. There’s only one pair in the world as it’s a limited edition.”
“Can I take a look?”
“Sure.
Zelena generously handed her racket to Candy, who held it in her hand and admired it for a while before. enviously saying. This is an AH custom–made racket. It’s quite expensive. I think it costs around 7500 to 9000 dollars for a pair. Lena, your parents are so good to you!”
Candy’s comment attracted the attention of the people around, and they kept staring at Zelena.
Zelena’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
At that moment, Violeta also took out her racket from her bag.
Kaylee imitated Candy’s expression and loudly exclaimed, “Wow!”
“Vio, your racket looks amazing! It’s much more vibrant than that someone’s hideous green racket!”
In an instant, everyone’s gaze was drawn to her voice.
Violeta paused for a second with the racket in her hand. She felt that Kaylee was being too dramatic. However, Kaylee winked at her.
After that, she continued loudly, “Vio, your racket must be expensive! Let me see, it’s from AH! And it’s a collaboration with a famous cartoon character! Damn, not only is it custom–made, but it’s also a limited collaboration within the custom–made collection! It must cost at least 30 thousand dollars!”
With Kaylee’s help, Violeta completely stole Zelena’s spotlight.
Zelena sat aside, gritting her teeth in anger.
Candy said, “What’s all this shouting about? Where are your manners?”
Kaylee replied, “Oh, do you have manners then? Who was the one shouting first? Can’t people be amazed by a 30 thousand dollar racket?”
Candy felt jealous and said. “It’s probably fake!”
At that moment, a cold and deep male voice came from the back row of the audience.
“They’re a gift from me. Do we have a problem?”
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the back row, where Hayden was sitting at the highest point.
Not far away, Zoren and his two companions strolled over leisurely and sat next to Hayden, crossing their legs and displaying a nonchalant attitude.
Everyone was stunned.
Candy felt embarrassed and recalled Gillian’s fate. She weakly said, “No. I didn’t mean anything else, I was just talking.”
Hayden looked at her coldly. Then, he lowered his eyelids and lightly opened his thin lips, “Just talking? Does that mean you can spread rumors without consequences just because you have a mouth?”
Candy was extremely nervous and quickly apologized to Violeta.
I’m sorry, Violeta. I didn’t mean to imply that your tennis racket is fake. Please forgive me.”
Violeta glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and looked towards Hayden.
Since Violeta did not say anything, Hayden decided not to pursue the matter further.
The match started soon.
Violeta and Kaylee picked up their rackets and stepped onto the court. Kaylee was a bit nervous.
However, Violeta moved gracefully and calmly as if she were dancing with the wind.
“Vio, are you feeling nervous? There are so many people here to watch the match today.“.
Not only were the members of the tennis club present for the final assessment, but students from other schools were also in attendance. The tennis court was packed with people.
Furthermore, four important figures were seated in the back row.
Violeta smiled at her and said, “Just focus on playing. Everything will be fine.”
Kaylee took a deep breath and nodded at Violeta,
Once they entered the court, Zelena also entered with Candy, both holding their rackets.
Due to the previous uncomfortable situation, Candy felt a strong sense of animosity towards Violeta. As a result, she played with great force.
Zelena might not be very skilled at playing tennis, but she still managed to convey her hatred towards
Violeta
Both Zelena and Violeta were quite attractive, making the match very interesting to watch.
Violeta’s eyes were as cold as knives as she stared at Zelena across the court. She tightly gripped her racket and stared at Zelena with an intimidating gaze.
She parted her red lips and silently uttered a phrase.
Others could not hear or understand what she said, but Zelena understood it perfectly.
Violeta’s words were, “Watch your face.”
Zelena was just about to say the same thing to Violeta!
She couldn’t stand looking at that face anymore and wished she could destroy it!
The match began.
The tennis ball soared through the air with great force towards one side.
After a few exchanges, Zelena’s hands were numb. She had initially thought that Violeta was just lucky to win the preliminaries and semifinals, but when she played against her, she realized how strong this woman was.
She almost missed several shots.
Compared to Violeta, she was the lucky one.
“Ah!
In a moment of carelessness, a ball flew past Zelena’s ear and she failed to catch it!
The scoreboard changed.
Zelena glanced at Candy, who had an unpleasant expression on her face.
“It’s over, Zelena.”
Violeta weighed a new ball in her hand, her gaze disdainfully fixed on them. Then, she threw it in the air before giving them a chance to catch their breath.
The tennis ball flew towards Zelena
Zelena widened her eyes and dodged it.
The tennis court switched sides once again, the score was 0.9
The tennis ball fell to the ground, bounced up, and fell back down.
The force was so strong that Zelena could hear the wind. If she had not dodged it, the impact of this ball would have broken her nose!
This woman! Zelena stared incredulously at Violeta across from her.
Violeta met Zelena’s gaze. Her serene eyes were hidden beneath the brim of her hat, filled with pity.
Seeing this look, Zelena was even angrier. How dare this woman sympathize with her! Who did she think she was? She was not worthy!
Zelena picked up the last ball and hit it with all her might.
Violeta swung her racket, and with a loud smack, the ball flew towards Zelena. Zelena didn’t even have time to blink before the ball hit her face, causing intense pain. Although her nose wasn’t broken, it was enough to make her suffer.
This was a one-sided match.
The referee announced, “Team A wins!”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
