Chapter 30 How Can I Show Them Up If I Refuse?


    No way! It has to be a sham. That ess card has got to be a fake!


    Living in Liberty Grove was a privilege reserved for the elite, and there was no way Violeta, that


    conniving viper, could afford it. Not only was it exorbitantly priced, but thendlords in Liberty Grove


    were discerning, catering exclusively to the cream of the crop.


    Even if she miraculously managed to be a tenant, it wasn’t a ce your average Joe could just


    rent. Real estate agents in Liberty Grove were picky when it came to selecting tenants.


    So, Zelena quickly deduced that Violeta was ying pretend. That Liberty Grove ess card?


    Probably a bootleg version bought off some sketchy online marketce!


    Alright then, if this conniving girl wants to y games, I’ll y along! She thought.


    With a sly grin, Zelena quipped. “Seriously? You’re in Liberty Grove, too, Sis? Funny, I’ve never spotted


    you around the neighborhood.


    Of course. Zelena had never seen her! The property in Liberty Grove was a gift from Anton to Violeta


    before she started university!


    Initially, Irene and Anton thought Violeta might be too exhausted toe home for lunch every day, so


    they gifted her a unit in Liberty Grove. It was conveniently located just a couple of streets away from


    Tnd University, reachable in minutes by car.


    They figured Violeta could take a break or nap in the apartment whenever needed.


    This wasn’t a rented space; it had already been officially transferred to Violeta’s name. Violeta never


    imed to have rented a ce; she carried the ess card without using it.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Hearing Zelena’s remark, a few sidekicks chimed in, “Oh, this ess card is probably a knockoff!”


    “You know how the inte is–a breeding ground for all sorts of scams. People forge ess cards and


    turn luxury car keys into lighters just to unt!”


    “Some folks love showing off, even when their reality is far from morous. It’s just absurd!”


    Watching them mock Violeta, Zelena couldn’t help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.


    She stifled augh and pretended to defend her sister, “Hold on, guys. While ess cards can be


    faked, I know my sister isn’t the type to indulge in such antics. You’re misunderstanding her.”


    “Lena, you’re too kind and trusting. None of us believe Violeta could afford Liberty Grove. Only


    someone like you, a true heiress, could pull it off.”


    Zelena looked puzzled, “Come on, don’t say that. My sister is just like me. How about this: I’ll host


    everyone at my ce this weekend.”


    “Sure, sounds good!”


    “I’ve only seen Liberty Grove apartments online. They look so posh inside. Lena, you’re a gem!”


    Zelena beamed at them, then turned to Violeta, “Sister, you shoulde this weekend, too.”

    She was confident that Violeta wasn’t a property owner, so Zelena seized the chance to unt and


    throw shade.


    Without waiting for Violeta’s response, she dered, “It’s settled then, sister. You better show up this


    weekend!”


    With that, she left with her entourage, giving Violeta no room for second thoughts.


    “Who do they think they are–nobles or elites? Spewing hate and prejudicel” Kaylee witnessed the


    entire spectacle and saw through Zelena’s true color even more.


    “Hey, Violeta, are you really going?” Unfazed, the bell rang, and Violeta took out her book, replying


    calmly, “Why not?”


    Given Zelena’s clear warning, attending that event with Bai Zi would only lead to trouble.


    Kaylee voiced concern, advising, “Hey, don’t take her words to heart. Just brush it off.”


    Violeta blinked, casually picking up the ess card and turning it over between her fingers. Of course.


    How will I put them in their ce if I don’t go? They’ve practically offered their faces for a p; if I


    decline, won’t I be defying the heavens?


    In the afternoon, club registrations officially kicked off.


    Though originally nned online, the servers crashed due to overwhelming numbers, forcing everyone


    to manually fill out forms.


    Upon seeing Violeta’s choice–tennis club–Kaylee eximed, “Oh, you picked the tennis club too. What


    a coincidence!”


    Violeta replied nonchntly, “Hmm.”


    “The tennis club is super popr but only takes a few each year. I hope I make the cut.”


    After the forms were submitted, a third of the ss had joined the tennis club.


    “Look, Violeta joined too…


    Someone whispered, peeking at her form.


    Violeta shot a cold nce, and the gossipmonger hushed, snickering behind her.


    “With her status, she thinks she can join the tennis club. Hrious. Some people just don’t know their


    ce


    Zelena had snagged a spot through connections and was internally assigned to logistics, so it caught


    her off guard and irritated her to witness Violeta signing up for a club. In response to Zelena’s raised


    eyebrows, Violeta nonchntly uttered, “Hmm.”


    Kaylee chimed in, “I’ve heard the tennis club is the most sought–after among all the options, but they


    only pick a handful each year. I’m really hoping I’ll make the cut.”


    As the forms were turned in, it became apparent that about one–third of the ss had opted for the


    tennis club.

    A gossipmonger in the group couldn’t resist sharing the news, “Look, Violeta also joined the tennis


    club…


    The person leaned in to peek at her registration form, pointing and whispering discreetly. In response,


    Violeta shot a cold nce, prompting the gossiper to hush and turn away, suppressingughter.


    Zelena, utterly surprised, hadn’t anticipated Violeta joining any club, let alone the Tennis club.


    In her mind, she pondered. ‘How can this shameless viper have the audacity to join a club? She should


    be grinding away every day like


    an old cow to save tuition fees!”


    Nn had joined the tennis club, too. Zelena, noticing this, gritted her teeth, a glint of cunning in her


    eyes. She couldn’t let Violeta have any chance to get close to Nn.


    While submitting the registration form, Zelena said, “Come on, let me help you guys.”


    “Lena, you’re too sweet. Here you go!”


    After Zelena took the registration form and left the ssroom, she tracked down Violeta’s form and tore


    it


    to shreds.


    Two days after the club registration forms were submitted, Jasper, the usually hands–off tennis club


    president, checked the registration list during recruitment. After confirming twice, he couldn’t find


    Violeta’s form.


    In the group, Jasper asked Violeta, “Hey, Vio, did you sign up? Today’s the deadline for registration.”


    Violeta, slightly surprised, responded, “I did sign up. I filled out the form and submitted it for a long time.


    Puzzled. Jasper said, “Really? Why didn’t I see your registration form? Oh well, maybe it got lost.


    Forget it. Submit it online again. I’ll send you a new link.”


    After the intr crash, a new link was created. Violeta, being the first student to log in, resubmitted


    the form. Jasper personally reviewed and approved it.


    Violeta thought carefully and immediately suspected another scheme by Zelena behind the scenes.
