Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 93

Kaylee seethed with anger, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"I may not have much money, but I have ambition. You always engage in shameless acts with your wealth. I don't want your money, and the value of this perfume cannot be compared to any amount of money. Instead, you should use your wealth to purchase quality cleaning supplies and properly clean the toilets."

Her rebukes were forceful and impactful.

The counselor was almost inclined to applaud her.

Violeta didn't want to miss the opportunity to take advantage of Zelena. Since Zelena was so eager to spend money, why not let her?

"Counselor, since Zelena is so eager to spend money, why not allow her? Kay doesn't want this money, so let her contribute it to the next school event."

Violeta's words triggered a memory for the counselor.

His eyes lit up, and he said, "I almost forgot. Our school is organizing an event at the end of this month to encourage everyone to maintain the school environment and be environmentally friendly!

"During the event, we will also organize a bottle-for-toy exchange. Zelena, since you are willing to spend money, let's have you cover the expenses for this event."

Zelena was left speechless.

Originally, she wanted to spend money to insult Kaylee and Violeta.

How did it turn into her voluntarily spending money to support the school's activities? Doesn't that make her a fool?

Violeta noticed Zelena's hesitation and spoke up, "Are you hesitating because you don't want to spend money? So your generosity was all an act earlier. Tsk tsk!"

"Of course not."

Zelena forced a smile and said, "I'm willing to contribute."

The counselor smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very well, I will report this to the school."

"And don't forget, counselor, this is also Kay's contribution. Strictly speaking, it was Kay who generously donated the money."

"Yes, yes, I will remember."

...

The next afternoon, an announcement was released.

Kaylee Toback, a first-year student in the performing arts class, generously sponsored the school's environmental program.

The announcement only praised Kaylee without even mentioning Zelena's involvement.

In the end, Zelena was the one who sponsored, but Kaylee took all the credit.

Kaylee's popularity instantly skyrocketed, making her a celebrity throughout the entire school.

Zelena was furious. She never expected the counselor to be so ruthless and completely ignore her contribution! It was clearly her money!

In the restroom, Hattie covered her nose with a handkerchief.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have joined you in criticizing Kaylee. Now I'm stuck cleaning the restroom with this unbearable smell!"

Zelena put away her phone. She was extremely unwilling to clean the restroom herself.

"Hattie, I'm so sorry. It's my fault."

Hattie didn't have much animosity toward Violeta before.

But since this incident, Hattie had become enemies with Violeta.

She disliked people showing off in front of her the most.

Violeta's personality and appearance made her a future competitor in the entertainment industry.

Anyway, since they were competitors and couldn't be friends, they would end up as enemies.

Hattie pondered for a while, then said, "Didn't you say that your family no longer gives money to Violeta? How did she manage to buy perfume?"

This puzzled Zelena as well.

The rest of the gang came in carrying buckets of water.

"How else could she have bought it? She must have relied on Jasper and his friends," said Gillian.

"Hattie, don't you know? Violeta is notorious in our school for being a social butterfly!" added Candy.

"Yeah, previously, she used her connections with Jasper and his group to get into the tennis club. Buying a bottle of perfume is nothing for rich boys like them," Gillian said.

Hattie asked, "You mean Jasper? Oh, the four handsome guys from the IT school?"

Zelena replied, "Yes, and Liam is one of them."

Hattie finally understood the situation and asked, "So, Violeta is close to them?"

Zelena confirmed, "Yes."

What breed?

Violeta glanced at the curious elderly man in front of her. If she were to tell him that this was not a dog but a wolf ...

Or rather, the largest existing wolf in the world—he probably wouldn't believe it.

To avoid trouble, Violeta simply casually responded, "This is a Husky mix."

"Oh, I see. That's why it looks so silly."

Tuna was puzzled.

The old man chuckled. He turned around with his hands behind his back and walked away.

Tuna looked at Violeta with its wise eyes. Then it stood up and howled towards the old man.

Violeta slapped Tuna's paw and said, "No howling allowed."

Tuna scratched Violeta's feet with its claws. It looked hurt.

Violeta exhaled and said, "Okay, I'll be sure to give you a large bone when we get home. Just behave yourself."

Just then, a golden retriever ran over from the side and sniffed at Tuna. But Tuna was not very interested in interacting with it.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Violeta heard the sound and looked at it.

This well-groomed golden retriever had strong bones and silky fur.

The more Violeta looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

"It looks quite familiar. Wait a minute, could it be Cutie?"

Upon closer inspection, she noticed a tag on the golden retriever's collar. Indeed, it had the word "Cutie" written on it!

"Cutie, come over here!"

A clear male voice came from behind.

Violeta was stunned and looked up.

Sure enough, it was ...
