Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 91

Cleaning the restroom?

Zelena and Hattie exchanged glances.

Both of them were very concerned about their reputation and would rather lose credits or face disciplinary action.

The punishment of cleaning the restroom was unacceptable to them.

Losing credits or receiving disciplinary action meant nothing to them.

They could easily make up for it in other ways or use their connections to have the punishment lifted.

All that was required was to spend some money.

But cleaning the restroom was different. Everyone in the school would know and see it.

That would be extremely embarrassing.

Just the thought of it made their scalps tingle.

Zelena protested, "Counselor, I don't want to clean the restroom."

Hattie nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if we were wrong, we can just apologize to Kaylee. Cleaning the restroom is too severe, isn't it?"

"Severe?" Violeta sneered, "Alright then, if you want to apologize, do it in front of the whole school. You need to bow and apologize to her under the school building at 8 o'clock on Monday morning."

"What!?"

Violeta's demand was increasingly embarrassing for them.

Zelena frowned and pleaded pitifully, "You're too harsh."

Gillian added, "Yeah, we just wanted to confirm if Kaylee really stole something! Your demands are excessive and aggressive."

Violeta slowly shifted her gaze to Gillian. Her gaze was chilling.

Gillian immediately felt a lump in her throat, and the second half of her sentence got stuck. She couldn't say anything.

Her gaze is so terrifying.

Gillian lowered her head and avoided eye contact with Violeta.

Violeta glanced at Zelena and Hattie. She said firmly, "This isn't a negotiation. Either clean the toilets or apologize in public. Choose one. Otherwise, what right do you have to search our bags? I'll leave it at that. Let's see who has the nerve to search her bag!"

The counselor was speechless.

Hattie couldn't tolerate Violeta's arrogance!

She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Choose one, right? Then what about you? If we prove that Kaylee is a thief, what price will you pay?"

Violeta shrugged and said, "If it's proven that Kay is a thief, we'll drop out of school."

Hattie said, "Great! You said it yourself!"

Hearing Violeta's words, Zelena was overjoyed. She said, "Counselor, you heard it too. This is Violeta's word, she'll drop out of school!"

The counselor had a weak presence, but he suddenly became the center of everyone's attention.

He cleared his throat softly.

Violeta was the daughter of Chancellor White. Even if she wanted to drop out, the school might not let her go so easily. It was not as easy as they thought.

If Anton found out that Violeta dropped out because she was bullied at school, what would happen then?

The counselor was in a dilemma. He asked, "Do we really need to make such a big fuss about this?"

"Of course!"

They all said it in unison.

The counselor felt embarrassed and said, "Alright then, but let's make it clear. I'm just a witness. If anyone wants to drop out or anything, I haven't heard anything. Don't come looking for trouble with me later. I know nothing."

Violeta knew that the counselor didn't dare to take responsibility.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. And what about you? What will you choose, cleaning the toilet or apologizing?"

Zelena and Hattie looked at each other. They said in unison, "Cleaning the toilet."
