Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 2 Zelena's Manipulation

Violeta knew about Zelena's devious schemes. Zelena's words immediately strained the relationship between Violeta and her parents.

In her previous life, Violeta had decided to stay with the Blake family out of gratitude after hearing such an explanation. But in this life, she wouldn't allow Zelena to have her way! Repaying the Blakes' kindness to her was important, but she didn't have to stay with the Blake family to do it!

Violeta pulled her hand back from Zelena's grasp and discreetly wiped it on her clothes. "Mom, Dad, what I mean is, now that your biological daughter has returned, I should also go look for my biological parents."

"You want to look for your biological parents?" Mr. and Mrs. Blake exchanged glances. They were heartbroken to learn that Violeta wasn't their biological child since she was an outstanding girl. However, they felt more distressed about Zelena, who had suffered all these years.

That was why they suggested that Violeta give up her room for Zelena and stay in the dormitory after starting school. It's reasonable for Violeta to proposed to look for her biological parents.

Violeta continued, "You've raised me for so many years, and I can never fully repay your kindness." Violeta started bowing as she expressed her gratitude.

"Vio, don't do that!" Mr. and Mrs. Blake quickly interrupted her. "There's no need to say such things! It's understandable if you want to look for your biological parents. Since you insist, how can we stand in your way? If you want to do it, go ahead."

Zelena frowned as she watched this scene unfold, realizing her schemes weren't going to plan. If this wench really leaves, how can I take my revenge?! No way. I can't let Violeta leave!

Zelena quickly said, "Mom, Dad, we can't let Vio leave. Actually, I already inquired before I returned. Vio's biological parents are in bad shape, and their family is barely making ends meet! Her father is a compulsive gambler, and her mother is an uneducated, malicious woman. Everyone in their neighborhood knows it. Also, Vio's older brother is basically a notorious bachelor. He's almost thirty years old but isn't married yet! Vio deserves better!"
