Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Can You Afford It Even If You Have Ten Lives?

"She shouldn't have been invited in the first place!"

The three of them became defenders of justice, standing up for Zelena,

Violeta found their words ridiculous.

"I've seen foot-binding, but I've never seen brain-binding. When did I say I wanted to be with you guys?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three couldn't wait to mock her.

"If you're not with Lena, then why did you come to Liberty Grove?"

"Oh, so you think you're the owner of the apartment in Liberty Grove? Dream on!"

"Yeah, I checked this apartment online before. The occupancy rate is 99% Lena rented the only unit left, and the only vacant one is the rooftop garden on the top floor."

"Oh, are you going to claim that you're the owner of the rooftop garden? Hilarious! Do your research before making up lies!"

The higher the Liberty Grove's apartment building floor, the more expensive it was. The price of the top floor was several times that of the regular floors.

Zelena had previously wanted to rent the top floor, but the rent was almost a five-digit number per month, and she couldn't afford it.

If Zelena couldn't rent the place, could Violeta?

Absolutely impossible!

Convinced that Violeta was just showing off, Zelena smiled and said, "Sis, don't try to act tough. It's okay, I don't blame you. As long as you get rid of this dog, you can still come into my apartment. And if you want, you can even live with me!"

To the other three, it was obvious that getting rid of the stray dog in the bag was an obvious choice to move into the high-end apartments in Liberty Grove. Who would even consider such an option? Comparing a stray dog to Liberty Grove?

Anyone with common sense would know what to choose!

Unexpectedly, Violeta sneered.

"Well, forget about this apartment. Even if you offered me all the apartments in Liberty Grove in exchange, I still wouldn't give up Tuna. I wouldn't trade her for anything, not even with your ten lives. "If you're not using your eyes, you might as well gouge them out. Tuna isn't just a stray dog. She's a Kenai Peninsula woll cub."

Kenai what?

These words circled in the minds of the group, leaving them dumbfounded.
