Violeta asked, "If I help her with resources, who will help me with mine?"
Sharon replied, "You must have plenty of resources yourself. It wouldn't hurt to share some with Lena."
Violeta couldn't help but laugh at Sharon's suggestion.
She nodded and said, "Alright, I get it. Is there anything else? I'm short on time."
Josh and Sharon assumed everything was settled.
Josh said warmly, "That's all. Go ahead with your business."
Once outside the company, Violeta remained unfazed.
She had long stopped hoping for anything from Josh and Sharon, so their words in favor of Zelena didn't surprise her.
Aster was livid. "I can't believe how unfair this is! How can they be like this?"
Violeta replied calmly, holding her phone, "How is it unfair?"
Aster said, "If they feel guilty about Zelena, they should make it up to her themselves instead of sacrificing your interests. It's not your fault about the birth switch."
Moreover, if Violeta hadn't been switched at birth, she would have grown up with the White family, which was better than the Blake family.
Zelena claimed Violeta stole her 18 years of a privileged life, but Violeta missed out on her better 18 years as well.
Josh and Sharon's favoritism frustrated Aster.
Seeing that Violeta wasn't upset, Aster thought she might have been convinced to help Zelena.
"Ms. White, you didn't take their request seriously, did you?"
"Of course not."
Violeta closed her phone. "I just informed Eugene that I'll take on the 'The Chosen One' script."
