Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 156

This was yet another demonstration of his impressive skills.

A single word, "Daddy", was the price to recruit him into their team.

Although neither Hattie nor Zelena were particularly willing, the prospect of participating in the upcoming college tournament made them excited.

"Can we skip the 'Daddy' thing? I'll pay you to join us."

"No way."

Violeta's refusal was firm. "If you can't afford to lose, don't gamble."

They were speechless.

Zelena clenched her teeth. "Fine. If we say it, you join the team."

Violeta casually cleaned his ear. "Sure."

After the other side agreed, Zelena and Hattie reluctantly mumbled, "Daddy," in voices as quiet as a mosquito's hum.

Though they spoke softly, Violeta was prepared. She had three speakers at max volume, ensuring her phone could record their voices clearly.

Once the recording was done, Violeta grinned.

Zelena stated, "We had a deal. You have to join us."

Violeta turned off her voice changer in the background and spoke in her original voice. "Sorry, I've changed my mind. There's a saying: birds of a feather flock together. Playing with trash like you would only tarnish my reputation for years."

The three were dumbfounded.

Their opponent's voice suddenly shifted from a deep male tone to a crisp female voice.

Zelena and her friends were stunned. What was going on? Why did his voice suddenly change into a woman's voice?

Wasn't he a guy?

Hattie stammered, "Y-You're ... not a guy?"

Casey added, "Wait a minute, why does her voice sound so familiar?"

A bad feeling crept over Zelena. "Is she ... Violeta?"

Zelena was the first to recognise Violeta's voice, and Violeta felt quite pleased.

She sneered, "Zelena, how was your summer holiday? I'm glad you remember Daddy's voice. It makes me happy."

Zelena turned speechless.

Boom!

Zelena was boiling with anger.

Hattie was equally shocked. "Violeta?! You pretended to be a man to trick us, you b*tch!"

By now, it was too late for regrets.

Hattie was just as furious as Zelena.

They had hoped to recruit a valuable ally, only to be played by Violeta, and now they had even called her "Daddy".

How could they ever face her at school again? Their reputations were ruined!

"Violeta, you're the worst!"

Violeta laughed. "Oh, come on, don't be like that. Just a moment ago, you were calling me 'Daddy' so shyly!"

Hattie was shaking with anger and outright denied it.

"I didn't say it! You're imagining things!"
