Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 8 I Thought Zoren's Cousin Is Ugly

Violeta's reputation had caused quite a commotion among her classmates within a few minutes.

Zelena had successfully led everyone to believe that Violeta was her wicked sister who had supposedly stolen eighteen years of Zelena's comfortable life. And to make matters worse, Violeta was ungrateful enough to speak to Zelena viciously. Everyone believed that Violeta was a vicious woman!

As Violeta followed the counselor, he addressed Violeta politely, "Ms. White, your mother is a renowned opera singer who graduated from our school. It's an honor for us that you chose to study in Toland University's performing arts department!"

"The honor is mine. Coming to Toland University to study has always been my dream, and it has nothing to do with my mom."

"If you need any assistance, feel free to come to me." After saying this, the counselor shook his head. "What am I saying? Your father is a member of our school's board of directors, so there's not much I can do to help."

"I'm here to study as an ordinary student. Sir, please don't give me special treatment. It would be strange."

The counselor was taken aback. Students from affluent families usually went out of their way to inform the school on their first day, but not Violeta.

The counselor had unintentionally checked Violeta's personal information and discovered that her mother was the famous opera singer Irene Persley. Her father was Anton White, a prominent figure in Quinston's business world.

With such a family background, Violeta could easily walk around the school with her head held high if she wanted to! However, Violeta unexpectedly wished to keep a low profile, unlike the Blake family's daughter from Arlowand, who arrived today and eagerly flaunted her family's wealth.

Upon hearing this, the counselor's impression of the two changed drastically. He suddenly developed a great liking for Violeta. "Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. I can have a student show you around the school if you need anything."
