And Anton was the chairman of White Group!
Zelena's eyelids twitched as a disturbing thought began to form in her mind.
Could it be …
Could Violeta be Anton's daughter?
No, impossible.
Zelena quickly called Hattie, but unfortunately, Hattie hadn't answered her calls for days and didn't answer now either.
Zelena clenched her fist.
Fine, Hattie might have made a dazzling debut, but did she really plan to ignore her?
She shouldn't forget that her debut role was snatched from Zelena!
Getting rid of her wouldn't be that easy!
Fuming, Zelena turned and headed downstairs.
She didn't notice Violeta and Kaylee standing by the railing on the third floor across the way.
"Vio, do you think Zelena will be removed from her position as president?"
"Almost certainly."
"Serves her right. I never thought she'd actually dare to substitute inferior goods to make a profit. I initially believed she wouldn't do something like this."
Wouldn't?
Violeta knew all too well that in her previous life, Zelena had committed far worse deeds, and with much more ruthlessness.
"But … " Kaylee said with a smile, looking at Violeta, "Vio, it looks like you can't hide your identity as the daughter of a board member this time."
Violeta blinked gently, her hands in her pockets, her expression unchanged.
"Let's go."
In truth, she had never deliberately hidden it.
From Violeta's custom Jour 24 clothing to living in the Liberty Grove apartments and owning a café, anyone with a bit of intelligence could see that Violeta was definitely not poor.
Yet, those who refused to believe it wouldn't change their minds, even if presented with evidence.
Word of Zelena's embezzlement spread quickly through the student council.
Soon, everyone was privately discussing Zelena, and her reputation plummeted, making her the target of widespread condemnation.
...
Two days later, Bright Way Factory delivered all the equipment the school had ordered, complete with the logo of a top sports brand.
The school kept its promise, hanging banners around the sports event field to promote the co-branded sponsorship.
Before the sports event began, there were rumors on the forum suggesting that the school was putting so much effort into it because, in addition to the education bureau, a significant political figure was attending.
This person was said to be Glen, who was Hayden's father.
