Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 7 Watching Zelena's Act in Class

Zelena arrived shortly. She put on different airs as the Blake family's daughter. It was a melodramatic scene as she entered the class with two servants carrying large bags of coffee and snacks. Her grand act was on full display.

In her previous life, Violeta had arrived late because she got lost. No one had led her to the lecture hall. When she came to class, she saw that her classmates were getting along with Zelena and treating her like royalty. She thought it was because Zelena was popular.

She realized now that it wasn't because Zelena was popular. It was simply because she had spent money. She came bearing gifts like coffee and snacks on the first day. Everyone would naturally like her. Violeta sat in the back row, her head lowered as she played with her phone, keeping a low profile.

Zelena instructed the servants to distribute snacks and coffee as she addressed her classmates kindly. "Hello, everyone. I'm Zelena Blake. I hope we can get along since we're classmates now. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone in the future."

"Zelena, you're adorable! Oh my god."

"That's right! This coffee is so sweet. It's delicious."

"You must be wealthy. Are these snacks imported? These cookies are so decadent. I've never tasted such delicious cookies before. Zelena, are you from a well-to-do family?"

Zelena enjoyed being complimented. She covered her mouth shyly and giggled. "Oh, you guys are going too far. These are just ordinary snacks I eat daily. I brought them to share with everyone. I'll bring more next time if you like them. After all, I can never finish them, and they'll go to waste!"

"No wonder you're so slim, Zelena. I would finish everything in one sitting..."

"That's right. By the way, Zelena, the dress you're wearing is gorgeous. Is it from the new LV collection? I'm so envious..."
