Chapter 5 Zoren''s Cousin Is Right Up Hayden''s Alley


    Irene was only twenty-four years old when she gave birth to Niall. She wanted a daughterter on,


    so she became pregnant and gave birth to Violeta when she was thirty-five.


    Niall, eleven years older than Violeta, already had a sessful career.


    When the siblings met for the first time, he embraced Violeta gently while she looked up at him and


    smiled. Niall patted her head and said, "Vio, I''ve eagerly awaited your return for many years. Our


    family is finally reunited now!"


    And so, Violeta returned to the White family''s loving embrace.


    A month and a halfter, Quinston''s upper-ss society was abuzz with the news that the White


    family''s long-lost daughter, who had been mistakenly taken away eighteen years ago, had finally


    returned!


    However, the White family was mysteriously keeping their daughter under wraps. Only a select few


    had seen her so far. Some rumors suggested that the White family''s daughter was too


    unpresentable, which was why the White family had refrained from introducing her to others.


    Anton entrusted the ke family with the project as promised, allowing the kes to make a


    fortune. Furthermore, Anton also sent gifts to the ke family out of goodwill.


    The ke family received the White family''s gifts but didn''t think about Violeta. They believed the


    White family valued them and wanted to establish a good rtionship with them, hence the


    generous gifts.


    Zelena livedfortably with the ke family for a month and a half. She enjoyed everything the


    ke family had to offer and discarded Violeta''s belongings in her bedroom. Zelena also asked her


    parents if she could attend Tnd University. After some coaxing, they agreed. Mr. and Mrs. ke


    had forgotten entirely about Violeta under Zelena''s influence. They paid no attention to their


    adopted daughter, who had already left.


    However, Zelena was puzzled and thought to herself. Why hasn''t this wench returned? Isn''t she


    coming back? That''s impossible. Where else can she go if she doesn''te back? It''s alright. If


    she doesn''t return, I''ll take the initiative and look for her! In any case, I''ll never let her off the hook.


    Irene initially wanted to hold a banquet for Violeta, but Violeta declined. Violeta had already


    experienced a rebirth and no longer cared for these superficial events. She was content just being


    with her family! Considering that Violeta needed to rest after her car ident, Irene didn''t insist and


    allowed Violeta to rx at home.


    One day, Irene and Violeta were sunbathing in the backyard. Irene peeled fruits for Violeta and


    asked, "Violeta, which university did you get into?"


    "Tnd University, the department of film and performing arts." Violeta had always dreamed of


    bing an actress. Unfortunately, she was always overshadowed by Zelena in her previous life.


    She spent several years in the industry as an extra and had no notable achievements. She


    struggled to make ends meet by working part-time jobs.


    Violeta got into Tnd University by merit, while Zelena got in with the help of her wealthy parents.


    After they entered the same university, Zelena formed cliques and deliberately excluded Violeta.


    Zelena even spread rumors about Violeta on online forums. Violeta had a tough time in university,


    but it didn''t deter her from pursuing her dream.


    Against all odds, Violeta secured her first leading role after graduating with an outstanding


    academic performance. It was a drama with a female lead role, and Violeta could have been an


    instant hit.


    However, Zelena meddled and stole Violeta''s role. This incident wholly ruined Violeta''s first acting


    opportunity. She struggled in the entertainment industry for a few years and never again got a good


    role that was perfect for her. She did get a few chances, but every little opportunity was taken away


    by Zelena.


    In the years after Violeta entered the entertainment industry, Zelena secretly exposed Violeta as the


    ke family''s adopted daughter and revealed herself to be the ke family''s biological daughter.


    The media criticized and disparaged Violeta mercilessly. They reported that Violeta shamelessly


    outstayed her wee after Zelena had returned to the ke family. Violeta was portrayed as a


    spiteful older sister who picked on Zelena, the innocent victim being harassed.


    Even if Violeta spoke up, no one listened to her. Zelena''s fans would insult her online every day.


    When Violeta thought about those years, she felt like she was in a living nightmare. Zelena had


    wanted to steal everything from her. In Violeta''s past life, Zelena stole everything that belonged to


    her with Mr. and Mrs. ke''s support.


    But Violeta would never let Zelena have her way in this life. She would reim what rightfully


    belonged to her! She no longer desired to be loved by her foster parents, but she would take back


    everything else that belonged to her!


    "Tnd University is a pretty good school! I graduated from the drama department at Tnd


    University, Vio. I never thought that we were from the same alma mater!" Irene said with a smile,


    gently handing the peeled fruit to Violeta.


    "Thank you, Mom!" Violeta smacked her lips as she ate the fruit and spoke sweetly. "Mom, did you


    also graduate from Tnd University? You''re my senior!"


    Irene smiled, "Vio, do you want to be an actress?"


    Violeta nodded, "Mm-hmm."


    As a performing artist, Irene fully supported her daughter''s desire to be an actress.


    "Great! My daughter must have inherited my artistic talent. Vio, I''ll fully support you in bing an


    actress. My daughter will be the best actress in the future!"


    "Thank you, Mom. I''ll work hard."


    Anton and Irene couldn''t personally send Violeta to school on enrollment day because they were


    busy, so they asked Zoren to do it. Zoren was a junior who was also studying at Tnd University


    and majoring inputer science.


    After leaving the manor, Violeta waited for Zoren to pick her up at the agreed location.


    Violeta stood under a tree under the sun, wearing a thin, ruffled white dress. Her exposed skin was


    dazzlingly white. She held her phone in one hand and waited under the tree.


    At that moment, an inconspicuous ck Bentley pulled up in front of her. The rear window was


    lowered, revealing a cold and indifferent face. The man sized up Violeta, standing under the tree,


    with pursed lips and a stern, dark gaze. A deep voice rang. "Violeta White?"


    Violeta coded on her phone and looked at a ck screen disying a red code. She failed to notice


    the car parked before her. Startled by the voice, Violeta slowly looked up and turned off her screen,


    locking eyes with Hayden Frost.

    Upon seeing Hayden, Violeta mistook him for Zoren, who was supposed to pick her up. A sweet


    smile instantly graced her delicate face as she greeted him sweetly. "Hello, Zoren."


    Hayden''s brows rose, puzzled to hear her call him ''Zoren.'' He looked at Violeta''s innocent face and


    pleasant smile.


    Zoren was initially supposed to pick her up, but he was being held up by a woman and couldn''t


    make it, so he asked Hayden to fetch her instead. Hayden was unwilling, but Zoren begged until he


    gave in and reluctantly agreed to pick her up.


    What was originally a bothersome task unexpectedly turned out to be rewarding. Zoren''s cousin


    was exactly Hayden''s type and right up his alley.
