Rebirth vs. Rebirth Tragedy to Triumph (Violeta and Zelena) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 How Can I Show Them Up If I Refuse? 

No way! It has to be a sham. That access card has got to be a fake! 

Living in Liberty Grove was a privilege reserved for the elite, and there was no way Violeta, that conniving viper, could afford it. Not only was it exorbitantly priced, but the landlords in Liberty Grove were discerning, catering exclusively to the cream of the crop. 

Even if she miraculously managed to become a tenant, it wasn’t a place your average Joe could just rent. Real estate agents in Liberty Grove were picky when it came to selecting tenants. 

So, Zelena quickly deduced that Violeta was playing pretend. That Liberty Grove access card? Probably a bootleg version bought off some sketchy online marketplace! 

Alright then, if this conniving girl wants to play games, I’ll play along! She thought. 

With a sly grin, Zelena quipped. “Seriously? You’re in Liberty Grove, too, Sis? Funny, I’ve never spotted you around the neighborhood. 

Of course. Zelena had never seen her! The property in Liberty Grove was a gift from Anton to Violeta before she started university! 

Initially, Irene and Anton thought Violeta might be too exhausted to come home for lunch every day, so they gifted her a unit in Liberty Grove. It was conveniently located just a couple of streets away from Toland University, reachable in minutes by car. 

They figured Violeta could take a break or nap in the apartment whenever needed. 

This wasn’t a rented space; it had already been officially transferred to Violeta’s name. Violeta never claimed to have rented a place; she carried the access card without using it. 

Hearing Zelena’s remark, a few sidekicks chimed in, “Oh, this access card is probably a knockoff!” 

“You know how the internet is–a breeding ground for all sorts of scams. People forge access cards and turn luxury car keys into lighters just to flaunt!” 

“Some folks love showing off, even when their reality is far from glamorous. It’s just absurd!” 

Watching them mock Violeta, Zelena couldn’t help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction. 

She stifled a laugh and pretended to defend her sister, “Hold on, guys. While access cards can be faked, I know my sister isn’t the type to indulge in such antics. You’re misunderstanding her.” 

“Lena, you’re too kind and trusting. None of us believe Violeta could afford Liberty Grove. Only someone like you, a true heiress, could pull it off.” 

Zelena looked puzzled, “Come on, don’t say that. My sister is just like me. How about this: I’ll host everyone at my place this weekend.” 

“Sure, sounds good!” 

“I’ve only seen Liberty Grove apartments online. They look so posh inside. Lena, you’re a gem!” 

Zelena beamed at them, then turned to Violeta, “Sister, you should come this weekend, too.”

She was confident that Violeta wasn’t a property owner, so Zelena seized the chance to flaunt and throw shade. 

Without waiting for Violeta’s response, she declared, “It’s settled then, sister. You better show up this 

weekend!” 

With that, she left with her entourage, giving Violeta no room for second thoughts. 

“Who do they think they are–nobles or elites? Spewing hate and prejudicel” Kaylee witnessed the entire spectacle and saw through Zelena’s true color even more. 

“Hey, Violeta, are you really going?” Unfazed, the bell rang, and Violeta took out her book, replying calmly, “Why not?” 

Given Zelena’s clear warning, attending that event with Bai Zi would only lead to trouble. 

Kaylee voiced concern, advising, “Hey, don’t take her words to heart. Just brush it off.” 

Violeta blinked, casually picking up the access card and turning it over between her fingers. Of course. How will I put them in their place if I don’t go? They’ve practically offered their faces for a slap; if I decline, won’t I be defying the heavens? 

In the afternoon, club registrations officially kicked off. 

Though originally planned online, the servers crashed due to overwhelming numbers, forcing everyone to manually fill out forms. 

Upon seeing Violeta’s choice–tennis club–Kaylee exclaimed, “Oh, you picked the tennis club too. What a coincidence!” 

Violeta replied nonchalantly, “Hmm.” 

“The tennis club is super popular but only takes a few each year. I hope I make the cut.” 

After the forms were submitted, a third of the class had joined the tennis club. 

“Look, Violeta joined too… 

Someone whispered, peeking at her form. 

Violeta shot a cold glance, and the gossipmonger hushed, snickering behind her. 

“With her status, she thinks she can join the tennis club. Hilarious. Some people just don’t know their place 

Zelena had snagged a spot through connections and was internally assigned to logistics, so it caught her off guard and irritated her to witness Violeta signing up for a club. In response to Zelena’s raised eyebrows, Violeta nonchalantly uttered, “Hmm.” 

Kaylee chimed in, “I’ve heard the tennis club is the most sought–after among all the options, but they only pick a handful each year. I’m really hoping I’ll make the cut.” 

As the forms were turned in, it became apparent that about one–third of the class had opted for the tennis club.

A gossipmonger in the group couldn’t resist sharing the news, “Look, Violeta also joined the tennis club… 

The person leaned in to peek at her registration form, pointing and whispering discreetly. In response, Violeta shot a cold glance, prompting the gossiper to hush and turn away, suppressing laughter.
