Rebirth vs. Rebirth Tragedy to Triumph (Violeta and Zelena) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Extraordinary Strength, Just Getting Started 

Should Violeta choose to wait until the club’s recruitment gained momentum, the number of registrations for the tennis club would likely surge again. 

“Of course. I’ve mentioned this before–1 don’t believe in taking shortcuts.” 

Zoren felt a twinge of resentment, Jas has never offered anyone a shortcut. Now that he wants to give you one, you’re still not interested. What a shame!” 

Violeta smiled and stayed silent. 

In her previous life, Violeta had encountered too many instances where others took shortcuts, j opportunities that should have been hers. 

pilfering 

So, even with this opportunity now, she refused to become the kind of person she used to despise. 

Jasper teased, “No worries; I see Vio so confident. Maybe she possesses some absolutely extraordinary ability!” 

Violeta blinked and replied, “I dare not claim to have extraordinary ability; I’m just a rookie.” 

Zoren said, “Alright, then we’ll witness Vio’s performance when the time comes.” 

The five of them raised their glasses, engaging in lively chatter. 

Originally, Violeta was supposed to treat them to this meal, but when she went to pay, she discovered that Hayden had already settled the bill. 

This guy quietly achieved great things, and she had no clue when he paid. 

Violeta said to Hayden, “How about I add you as a friend and transfer the money to you?” 

Despite being in the same small group, Zoren added them all. However, privately, they weren’t Facebook. friends. 

Hayden responded, “Sure.” 

Violeta sent him a friend request on Facebook, but Hayden didn’t immediately accept it. 

It wasn’t until Violeta returned home, took a shower, and lay in bed that she realized Hayden had already accepted the friend request. 

Opening Hayden’s profile, she scrolled through. He rarely posted updates, the last being on New Year’s Eve last year–a photo of fireworks at Frost Manor. 

Violeta promptly transferred the money for tonight’s meal to Hayden and dropped a casual “Goodnight” 

message. 

After sending it, she set her phone aside and drifted off to sleep. 

The following day marked the official commencement of classes.

Tuna’s persistent howling reached Violeta even from a distance. Unfortunately, taking it to school was out of the question, compelling her to ignore Tuna without a backward glance. 

On the bus, Violeta pulled out her phone and found Hayden’s response to her Facebook message from the day before. He declined the money with just two words, “Goodnight.” Violeta found it puzzling. 

Hadn’t they agreed to become friends on Facebook for the money exchange? He accepted the friend request but refused the money. What did it imply? 

Upon entering the classroom, Violeta occupied her customary back–row seat. Kaylee, sitting next to her, held something in her hand and asked, “Violeta, didn’t you participate in the lottery?” 

“No.” 

The top ten students in the assessment not only received a prize money but also a single–person dormitory, chosen through a lottery. 

Despite having a quota, Violeta opted out of the lottery, choosing not to live in the dorm. 

Kaylee said, “That’s a pity. I wanted to be on the same floor as you. Don’t you live in the dorm?” 

“No.” 

“Then where do you live if not in the dorm? Do you rent a house?” 

Violeta wasn’t in the mood to entertain Kaylee’s questions. 

Unexpectedly, a few of Zelena’s followers chimed in- 

“Oh, some people just can’t help but flaunt. Even if they’re not rich anymore, they still act all high and mighty.” 

“Getting first place in the assessment is just luck. They should be grateful for the single–person dormitory spot. Pretending is just silly.” 

“Yeah, turning down such an amazing chance for a single–person dorm. She’s probably renting a house, 

huh?” 

“No princess fate, but for sure a princess complex! Take Lena, for instance; she’s renting in the top–notch community near the school, paying tens of thousands monthly with a personal housekeeper. She must be renting some rundown place!” 

“Yeah, I can’t understand why she keeps up with this act. It’s disgusting!” 

Violeta chose not to disclose whether she rented a house, yet they spun an entire narrative in their minds. 

They even insinuated Violeta was emulating Zelena. How absurd! 

Back on the mountain, Violeta paid them no mind, treating them as if they didn’t exist, conserving energy and sidestepping conflicts amidst the demanding training. 

Now that military training was behind her, would she still endure their provocation? Hell, no! 

Violeta raised her hand, as if waving off a noxious scent. “Urgh. Something smells dreadful here!”

She shot a frigid glare at the individuals before her and retorted, “Your words are quite repulsive. Did you forget to freshen up your mouth after using the restroom?” 

They caught on that Violeta was insinuating they had foul mouths from eating sh*t! 

“Violeta, don’t you dare to pull that on us! You’re the one who cats sh*t 

“I’m talking about anyone who speaks rudely,” Violeta clarified. 

The group glared. “Why are you boasting about renting a house? Do you even have the right to act wealthy?” 

Violeta looked at them in disbelief, “I don’t remember ever claiming to be living in a rented house?” 

“Oh, come on! Are you still pretending? You’re from Arlowand; where would you live without a house? Maybe your parents are still supporting you financially! It’s shameless to live off someone else’s life for over a decade and still have the audacity to act arrogant. If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I’d contemplate ending it all by jumping off a building!” 

“Only someone as forgiving as Lena would still call you “sister after pulling that stunt,” Violeta remarked, a hint of mockery in her voice. Zelena’s carefully crafted narrative had them all wrapped around her finger. 

Ignoring the glares, Violeta reached into her bag and produced a black access card – the kind that opened the gates of the exclusive Liberty Grove.
