Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 157

She had spent so long creating the image of a good girl in front of Mr. Blake and Mrs. Blake. If it were to be ruined now, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

So Zelena endured and endured, almost causing herself internal injury from holding it in.

Well done, Violeta. Since she wants to use such dirty tricks to toy with me, then she shouldn't blame me for giving a proper response!

A trace of viciousness flashed in Zelena's eyes.

She immediately took out her phone and called the person she had contacted earlier.

...

After leaving the esports room, Violeta discussed the college competition with Jasper and the others.

They suggested teaming up to participate.

Violeta thought momentarily and asked, "Are you confident about winning?"

Jasper replied, "It's just a college competition. What's so difficult about that?"

Zoren said, "Yeah, Vio, do you look down on us?"

Violeta replied, "It's not that I look down on you. I just haven't noticed you at all."

They were all stunned.

"You're impressive."

Violeta leaned back in her chair and said softly, "But now I have no other choice."

As the college competition was about to begin, Violeta needed to find someone in her division who had good skills. It wasn't going to be easy.

It might be better to team up with them. Then, they can spend some time getting to know each other.

Liam said, "Vio, rest assured, you can have confidence in us."

Violeta nodded. They thought Violeta had finally trusted them.

But unexpectedly, Violeta stood up and said, "I have great confidence in myself. I'm sure I can lead you to victory. So, I'll take the role of captain without hesitation."

"Wow, you do seem quite confident."

"Don't trust me? Then let's go solo. Whoever loses has to call the other 'Daddy'."

They were at a loss for words.

Call 'Daddy' if you lose?

I'd never call anyone 'Daddy' in a million years!

They didn't argue with Violeta.

"Alright, since you want to be the captain, go ahead."

"Then let's play some games tomorrow and see your skills."

...

It rained all night.

Despite the rain, Violeta slept soundly.

Violeta woke up naturally and went downstairs to the smell of egg tarts, baked milk pies, and fruit pizza.

The servants had already brought down Zeus and Hera, and they were standing on metal racks.

Violeta walked over to the table.

Niall saw her coming down and gently asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Violeta stretched lazily, "I slept very well. How about you?"
