Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 316 Get the Chancellor Involved

What?

You want to get the chancellor involved?

The counselor stared at Josh and Sharon and tried one last time to talk them out of it.

"I don't think it's necessary."

If the chancellor got involved, the only thing that would happen was Zelena would get expelled.

There was no other possible result.

Seriously, if Josh and Sharon can't stand anyone bullying Zelena, how could Violeta's parents possibly put up with it? Once they arrived, no matter what happened or how things turned out, they'd definitely side with Violeta.

So what was the point for Josh and Sharon in seeking justice?

There was no chance of that.

"Why not?"

Sharon scoffed. "Are her parents so disgraceful they can't be seen?"

Violeta frowned and said, "Okay. Please go ahead and let them know."

"Alright then!"

Following the procedure, the counselor used the system to look up Violeta's parents' contact information and called them.

Irene received the call at the theater and was taken by surprise.

She wasn't sure what was happening, but her gut feeling told her that something must have happened to her daughter.

Irene immediately called Anton, asking him to drive over and pick her up. Together, they went to the school to find out what was going on.

...

Actually, the Whites and the Blakes should have met each other a long time ago.

They just never had a chance before.

To thank the Blakes for raising their daughter, Irene and Anton had been quietly helping them over the past three years. They'd offered business favors and helped out whenever they could.

But the Blakes had no idea.

They just assumed the Blake Group's success was why the White Group worked with them so closely.

They never realized that Anton was doing it mainly because of Violeta.

While waiting for the Whites to show up, Josh and Sharon kept criticizing.

"You weren't like this when you left our house. How did you change so much in such a short time?

"And by the way, Lena is just two months younger than you. She's

your little sister. Why are you treating Ker this way? Is it just because you're not our biological child and she is? We always said we'd treat you both the same! Why can't you accept her?"

Violeta didn't say a word, just sipped her drink from a disposable cup and acted like they weren't even there.

The counselor and the academic committee member nearby were speechless.

Some people just talk a good game.

It was obvious to everyone, even from an outsider's perspective, that the Blakes were unfairly blaming Violeta. The problem was actually Zelena's fault, but they refused to see that.

In a situation like this, they were clearly favoring and covering for Zelena. If Violeta stayed around them, there was no way she'd get a fair shake. "Maybe it's because you went back to your real parents' home and they spoiled you! What a terrible upbringing!"

Mentioning the Whites made Violeta lose her composure.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She set down her cup and turned her gaze toward Sharon.

"Feel free to say whatever you want about me, but don't involve them. They haven't done anything wrong."

Sharon sneered. "Why shouldn't I

really interested to see what kind of people they are."

Violeta didn't want to argue, but since Sharon was pushing it, she felt she had to respond.

"If you really cared about me as you claim, have you ever considered that in the three years I've been studying in Quinston, you haven't given me a single penny, how have I managed all this time?

"You didn't need to cut off my card. From the moment I left the Blakes' house, I never intended to take another Cent from you. Have you thought about whether the issue is Zelena who always causes trouble forme, or if it's the other way around?"

Sitting nearby, Zelena started to cry and said, "Are you saying I forced you to leave? I wanted you to stay! You chose to leave on your own, so how can you blame me now?"

Violeta replied coldly, "Whether you were forced or not, you know that better than anyone."

Sharon comforted Zelena, holding her close and gently patting her shoulder.

Zelena covered her face and peered through her fingers to watch Violeta's reaction.

She thought this mother-daughter moment would affect Violeta.

But to her surprise, Violeta didn't seem moved at all and didn't even glance their way.

She had long given up any hopes for Josh and Sharon and was only waiting for Irene and Anton to arrive so she could completely cut ties with the Blakes.

Don't tell others to be kind if you haven't been through their struggles yourself.

Violeta felt that not seeking revenge against the Blakes were already the greatest kindness she could offer in return for the eighteen years they raised

her.

Zelena was sure that Violeta cared about Josh and Sharon, which was why she deliberately displayed her family bond in front of Violeta.

She thought Violeta would be affected by it.

Violeta did care in her past life.
