Chapter 45 Trashy Cheap Stuff 

Burng lunch, they descended from the second floor 

The banquet had already been arranged in the back hall. After Violeta and her group descended, Zoren motioned for them to sit at one table. 

Violeta was known in the performing arts department for being sociable, partly because she had joined the tennis club during her entrance exam. 

When everyone saw Violeta sitting at a table with Hayden and others, they all understood without saying a word. 

While they were eating, some people came over to toast, and soon enough, the group persuading them to drink arrived at Violeta’s table. 

Violeta was sitting with Kaylee, enjoying their meal, when suddenly this group came to toast. Each person had a drink, but it wasn’t enough. Henry encouraged them to make Violeta and Kaylee drink more. 

“The ladies just joined us. We should each raise a toast to them.” 

With so many people toasting, they would have to drink a lot. 

Violeta immediately frowned and smiled coldly. “Did you go through the same process when you joined the club, Henry?” 

Henry was slightly stunned. “I just wanted to give you two more opportunities to get to know people.” 

Violeta said with a sharp tone, “Oh, so you want this opportunity? Do you want 

it?” 

Violeta’s words carried a sharp edge, and some of the older people present were already displeased. 

Kaylee gently pulled Violeta’s clothes. 

Violeta picked up the glass of wine on the table and smiled at Henry. “How about this, Henry? As long as you go through this entrance process again, we will follow along. How about that?” 

Right after her words were spoken, something happened. 

Someone behind them said, “Oh my, it seems like this new batch of recruits is

really something. Just because they’ve joined the tennis club doesn’t mean everything will be smooth sailing. With such difficult personalities, who can handle them?” 

“If they act like this after just a few drinks, they might as well not come to the banquet at all.” 

“Who knows why they came to the banquet in the first place, hehe.” 

Rumours about Violeta being sociable were spreading like wildfire. 

And then she refused to toast the senior students, shocking everyone. 

The impression of Violeta deepened among the group, not only as sociable but also as someone with a terrible character. 

Now, in this situation, Violeta had no choice but to drink. 

But it seemed like they were all ignoring Hayden and the others sitting at the table. 

Jasper had a calm expression, leaning back in his chair, and said, “Henry, you seem to have too much free time on your hands.” 

Henry was taken aback for a moment and smiled at Jasper, saying, “Jasper, isn’t toasting the new recruits a tradition for us every year?” 

Liam spoke up, saying, “Oh? I didn’t know there was a whole process of persuading people to drink.” 

Henry was speechless. 

Everyone was a bit surprised. 

Because in the past, Jasper and the others would never get involved in such situations. 

Jasper changed girlfriend’s frequently, and it was widely known that Violeta was just another one of his girlfriends, but it was just a title. 

Every girlfriend by Jasper’s side was merely an experience, none of them lasting more than a month. 

Some didn’t even last half a month. 

In the past, when Jasper and the others came to the tennis court to play, they

would bring their girlfriends along, and they would usually tease each other, but Jasper would never interfere 

But today 

it seemed a bit different. 

It wasn’t that the situation was different. It was the people who were different. Henry forced a smile and said, “Jasper, we’re just fooling around. Don’t be 

angry 

“Angry?” Zoren chuckled. “Henry, if I bring your mom over and make her drink a dozen glasses of booze, I wonder if you can even stay calm.” 

They realized that they had crossed the line this time. 

Henry quickly apologized, “Sorry, sorry, Jasper, we’ll leave now.” 

And they prepared to depart. 

But at that moment, Hayden snapped his fingers, and a waiter approached, carrying a box of alcohol. 

His eyes were cold, and he said in a hushed voice, “If you enjoy drinking, finish all of these before you leave.” 

Hayden’s words carried more weight than anything else. 

When he ordered them to drink, they had no choice but to comply. No one dared to question Hayden. 

This time, they had taken on more than they could handle. No, wait. It wasn’t even something they could handle. It wasn’t just á minor inconvenience; they were in serious trouble! 

Henry and the others hastily grabbed the bottles and started chugging. Each person finished a bottle, and they managed to empty the entire box. After apologizing to Violeta and her companion, they finally left. 

Violeta took her seat and glanced at Hayden. 

Hayden gave her a slight smile, and Violeta pursed her lips, shifting her gaze away and continuing to eat. 

This was the second time Hayden had defended Violeta.

didn’t give up and managed to join the tennis club through 

However, she was only assigned to the logistics department, and even then, she was just a backup. 

She went to great lengths to get close to Nolan. Zelena, who was usually so proud, was even willing to clean up the rest area for Nolan. 

Unfortunately, Nolan hardly ever went to the tennis club’s rest area. He only stored some unrelated things there. 

Next month was the Quinston District Tennis League. In order to compete for a spot, the tennis club needed to start preparing one month in advance. 

First, the club would select members to participate in the competition, and then they would sign up. 

In the past, when it came to matches, the cheerleading squad always collaborated with the Toland University Dance Department. 

Nolan stood on the stage and announced the details of the upcoming league next month. Everyone dispersed and listened quietly in the rest area. 

Violeta and Kaylee sat in the corner. Violeta wore a baseball cap, lowering her head with the brim covering her expression. It was unclear whether she was sleeping or doing something else. 

Just as Nolan finished speaking on stage, Zelena quickly stepped forward and volunteered, saying, “Nolan! I can coordinate with the dance club for the performance. I am a member of the dance club.” 

Everyone could join two clubs, but most people chose the tennis club. Why would they join any other club? After all, the tennis club was the best at Toland University and offered the best benefits! 

However, since Zelena failed to successfully join the tennis club, she could

ohh join the dance club as a second choice 

She was just a backup logistics member at the tennis club and couldn’t be considered a full fledged member Surprisingly, she was quite proactive. 

Nolan glanced at her and asked, “You’re from the dance club?” 

Zelena nodded obediently and said, “Yes, I can also join the cheerleading squad to support our club!” 

Most of the members in the club were male, and no one wanted to get involved in these feminine matters. Since someone was willing to take on the cheerleading squad, why not let them? 

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you then.” 

Zelena smiled happily and said, “Okay!”

Nolan said, “Everyone, try to spend more time training at the gym during this period. If we achieve good results in the league, the rewards won’t disappoint 

us.” 

“Yes!” 

The enticing rewards at the tennis club motivated everyone! 

The brief meeting concluded, and everyone dispersed. 

Violeta picked up her bag from beside her feet, ready to leave. 

Zelena’s voice came from behind, calling out, “Violeta, are you interested in joining the cheerleading squad? Oh, I forgot. You seem to have no coordination and can’t dance. Forget what I said, sorry.” 

Even if Violeta were to participate in the competition, it would definitely be as a tennis team member. How could she join the cheerleading squad? 

Zelena intentionally said such things to provoke her. 

Violeta paused, turned around, and glanced at Zelena from head to toe. She smirked and remarked, “I used to think you’re nothing but a fake. Like a 

plastic bag with nothing but empty space inside. Now I see you’re more like a 

chicken.” 

Zelena didn’t quite understand Violeta’s intention.

But Kaylee, who was standing next to Violeta, understood her perfectly. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter and exclaimed loudly, “Zelena, if you lack intelligence, then it’s best not to engage in arguments. Can’t you comprehend what she said? How did you even manage to get into Toland University?” 

“She’s essentially calling you a chicken. Nothing more than a cowardly and despicable creature. If you catch the pun.”
