Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 186

Nessie added, "There are also the rumors about you wearing fake clothes."

Violeta sighed. "These clothes were bought by my mom. I don't know what's going on with the logo. I'll ask her about it tonight and then figure out what to do."

Nessie agreed, "That sounds good. Get the facts straight first, then shut those people up. If you need to post a clarification, I can pin it for you."

Nessie was one of the school forum administrators, so she could genuinely help Violeta with this.

Violeta asked Jasper to clear up their relationship. Jasper got a few people to spread the word, warning the person who started the rumors to delete their posts or face consequences at school. He also clarified that he and Violeta were just friends.

Once this spread, the comments accusing Violeta of being a gold digger quickly disappeared from the forum.

In the evening, while having dinner at home, Violeta asked Irene about the logo on her clothes.

"Mom, why is the logo on my clothes different from the other Jour 24 clothes?"

Irene smiled gently. "Why? Don't you like it?"

Violeta replied, "It's not that. It's just that the logo on my clothes is different from others, and people at school are saying they're fake."

Hearing this, Irene's expression changed instantly.

"What!?"

"Fake? They must be crazy! The logo on your clothes was designed by me. It's unique and obviously different from mass-produced items. Besides, I spent a lot of money for exclusivity. Otherwise, I'd be the fool."

Noticing Irene's reaction, Anton asked, "Irene, what's going on?"

Irene put down her spoon. "The logo on Violeta's clothes was designed by me. I need to spend over a million at Jour 24 to get this service!"

Jour 24's regular clothes don't cost much—at most a few thousand dollars.

A logo costing a million dollars and Irene ordering so many clothes for Violeta meant a substantial expenditure.

Irene's hefty spending earned her this exclusive service, naturally setting Violeta's clothes apart from the regular ones. Otherwise, what would be the point?

"Those ignorant people claiming Vio's clothes are fake—they don't know what they're talking about! It's infuriating!" Irene said, exasperated.

"They're clueless. Spreading such rumors is ridiculous! This customized logo service is something only about thirty people in the entire country have."

Anton chimed in, "Alright, alright. There's no need to be upset. Probably, many people don't know that Jour 24 offers this service. After dinner, I'll call their marketing team and have them make an official announcement online. That should clear up the rumors."

Irene agreed, "Yes, they must announce it. Vio shouldn't have to endure this nonsense."

Violeta finally understood the situation.
