Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Campus Belle Pageant

Violeta twirled the tennis racket in her hand as she playfully gazed at Zelena across from her.

With a slight lift of her red lips, her expression under the brim of her hat resembled that of a confident goddess.

It was as if she was saying, "Is this all you've got?"

Zelena covered her face with her hands, tears welled up in her eyes from the pain in her nose. At the same time, she felt a deep sense of resentment!

Kaylee jumped up in excitement, "Amazing, Vio, we won!"

Violeta turned her head and smiled at Kaylee. After that, she walked with her towards the nearby resting area.

"Wow, the newcomers this year are truly formidable."

"This match is completely one-sided. It's not interesting at all!”

"Who said it's not interesting? There are beauties all over the field, isn't that interesting enough? Violeta is so beautiful, I predict she will definitely make it into the top ten campus belle candidates this year!" "Zelena is not bad either, but compared to Violeta, she seems a bit inferior."

Although Zelena was attractive, she exuded too much charm, which many male classmates in the audience found appealing.

However, Violeta was the type that appealed to both men and women. The natural air of aloofness and nobility she carried was truly captivating. She did not need to flatter anyone to achieve her goals; Violeta was the best on her

own!

Back in the resting area.

Violeta glanced at Hayden and the others sitting in the back row of the

audience.

All four of them were applauding. Then, Hayden lowered his gaze to meet her eyes, his gaze gentle and seemingly smiling.

Violeta hesitated for a moment and then looked away. After that, she put her
