Should Violeta choose to wait until the club’s recruitment gained momentum, the number of
registrations for the tennis club would likely surge again.
“Of course. I’ve mentioned this before–1 don’t believe in taking shortcuts.”
Zoren felt a twinge of resentment, Jas has never offered anyone a shortcut. Now that he wants to give
you one, you’re still not interested. What a shame!”
Violeta smiled and stayed silent.
In her previous life, Violeta had encountered too many instances where others took shortcuts, j
opportunities that should have been hers.
pilfering
So, even with this opportunity now, she refused to be the kind of person she used to despise.
Jasper teased, “No worries; I see Vio so confident. Maybe she possesses some absolutely
extraordinary ability!”
Violeta blinked and replied, “I dare not im to have extraordinary ability; I’m just a rookie.”
Zoren said, “Alright, then we’ll witness Vio’s performance when the timees.”
The five of them raised their sses, engaging in lively chatter.
Originally, Violeta was supposed to treat them to this meal, but when she went to pay, she discovered
that Hayden had already settled the bill.
This guy quietly achieved great things, and she had no clue when he paid.
Violeta said to Hayden, “How about I add you as a friend and transfer the money to you?”
Despite being in the same small group, Zoren added them all. However, privately, they weren’t

Hayden responded, “Sure.”
Violeta sent him a friend request on Facebook, but Hayden didn’t immediately ept it.
It wasn’t until Violeta returned home, took a shower, andy in bed that she realized Hayden had
already epted the friend request.
Opening Hayden’s profile, she scrolled through. He rarely posted updates, thest being on New
Year’s Evest year–a photo of fireworks at Frost Manor.
Violeta promptly transferred the money for tonight’s meal to Hayden and dropped a casual “Goodnight”
message.
After sending it, she set her phone aside and drifted off to sleep.
The following day marked the officialmencement of sses.

Tuna’s persistent howling reached Violeta even from a distance. Unfortunately, taking it to school was
out of the question,pelling her to ignore Tuna without a backward nce.
On the bus, Violeta pulled out her phone and found Hayden’s response to her Facebook message from
the day before. He declined the money with just two words, “Goodnight.” Violeta found it puzzling.
Hadn’t they agreed to be friends on Facebook for the money exchange? He epted the friend
request but refused the money. What did it imply?
Upon entering the ssroom, Violeta upied her customary back–row seat. Kaylee, sitting next to
her, held something in her hand and asked, “Violeta, didn’t you participate in the lottery?”
“No.”
The top ten students in the assessment not only received a prize money but also a single–person
dormitory, chosen through a lottery.
Despite having a quota, Violeta opted out of the lottery, choosing not to live in the dorm.
Kaylee said, “That’s a pity. I wanted to be on the same floor as you. Don’t you live in the dorm?”
“No.”
“Then where do you live if not in the dorm? Do you rent a house?”
Violeta wasn’t in the mood to entertain Kaylee’s questions.
Unexpectedly, a few of Zelena’s followers chimed in-
“Oh, some people just can’t help but unt. Even if they’re not rich anymore, they still act all high and
mighty.”
“Getting first ce in the assessment is just luck. They should be grateful for the single–person
dormitory spot. Pretending is just silly.”
“Yeah, turning down such an amazing chance for a single–person dorm. She’s probably renting a
house,
huh?”
“No princess fate, but for sure a princessplex! Take Lena, for instance; she’s renting in the top–
notchmunity near the school, paying tens of thousands monthly with a personal housekeeper. She
must be renting some rundown ce!”
“Yeah, I can’t understand why she keeps up with this act. It’s disgusting!”
Violeta chose not to disclose whether she rented a house, yet they spun an entire narrative in their
minds.
They even insinuated Violeta was emting Zelena. How absurd!
Back on the mountain, Violeta paid them no mind, treating them as if they didn’t exist, conserving
energy and sidestepping conflicts amidst the demanding training.
Now that military training was behind her, would she still endure their provocation? Hell, no!
Violeta raised her hand, as if waving off a noxious scent. “Urgh. Something smells dreadful here!”

She shot a frigid re at the individuals before her and retorted, “Your words are quite repulsive. Did
you forget to freshen up your mouth after using the restroom?”
They caught on that Violeta was insinuating they had foul mouths from eating sh*t!
“Violeta, don’t you dare to pull that on us! You’re the one who cats sh*t
“I’m talking about anyone who speaks rudely,” Violeta rified.
The group red. “Why are you boasting about renting a house? Do you even have the right to act
wealthy?”
Violeta looked at them in disbelief, “I don’t remember ever iming to be living in a rented house?”
“Oh,e on! Are you still pretending? You’re from Arlowand; where would you live without a house?
Maybe your parents are still supporting you financially! It’s shameless to live off someone else’s life for
over a decade and still have the audacity to act arrogant. If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I’d
contemte ending it all by jumping off a building!”
“Only someone as forgiving as Lena would still call you “sister after pulling that stunt,” Violeta
remarked, a hint of mockery in her voice. Zelena’s carefully crafted narrative had them all wrapped
around her finger.
Ignoring the res, Violeta reached into her bag and produced a ck ess card – the kind that
opened the gates of the exclusive Liberty Grove.
Kaylee’s jaw dropped. That… that’s the Liberty Grove card?”
A stunned silence descended. “Liberty Grove? No way!”
The cardy on the table, a silent challenge to their disbelief. Its sleek ck surface and gleaming
silver logo were unmistakable. There was no other residential area with such a distinctive design.
And Zelena lived there. Renting in Liberty Grove was a luxury most couldn’t dream of, let alone owning.
So how on earth did Violeta have this ess card?
Was it possible? Did Violeta actually reside in the same posh neighborhood as Zelena? It was hard to
reconcile with her modest apartment.
Violeta responded, “Well, go on.”
The group squirmed under her gaze, unsure how to proceed.
“Having an ess card proves nothing!” one finally blurted out. “She probably used Lena’s family to
rent. that fancy ce.”
“Exactly,” another chimed in. “Only someone heartless like you would borrow from Lena’s folks to live in
such luxury.”
Kaylee, unable to hold back any longer, mmed her fist on the table. “Enough! You started with
usations about Violeta living in a slum, then question her fancy digs. What’s your obsession with
Zelena? You’re practically wagging your tail at this point.”
Just as Kaylee finished speaking, Zelena entered the ssroom through the main door.
As Kaylee’s words echoed through the room, the doh swung open and Zelena entered. The group, like

moths to a me, instantly swarmed her, demanding to know if Violeta’s card was real.
Zelena’s jaw dropped as she saw the Liberty Grove card in Violeta’s hand. How? How could Violeta,
that wretched girl, possibly have ess to such a ce?
No one knew better than Zelena that Violeta’s card was nothing but a useless stic rectangle. The
moment Violeta left the ke family, Zelena had manipted her parents into deactivating it.
There was no way Violeta could afford such a luxurious apartment!
