Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 73 Meeting Lucy - Long-awaited Impressions

Lucy's expression suddenly changed, catching everyone's attention. Casey Lambert, the Vice President of the club, spoke up. "Lucy, it's just a rumor for now. We haven't confirmed whether they are together or not."

The news of Violeta being Jasper's girlfriend has been circulating in the school for a long time, and everyone has taken it for granted.

Furthermore, someone even witnessed Violeta feeding Jasper soup in the cafeteria!

Many pairs of eyes saw it happen.

It's not just an unfounded rumor.

Lucy pursed her lips and forced a smile. "It's fine. After all, it's been over a year since we broke up. It's normal for him to have a girlfriend, right?"

"But Violeta is acting arrogant because of her connection to the tennis club!"

"Yeah, that's right. Lucy, you don't know. This Violeta is really going too far..."

The conflict between the two clubs had been ongoing for quite some time.

Recently, the situation escalated significantly when the cheerleaders were expelled from the bus by the tennis league.

Several former cheerleaders vehemently criticized Violeta, even going so far as to exaggerate the incident where Zelena was provoked and supposedly 'hit' by Violeta in class.

"She hit someone?"

"Yes! If someone hadn't intervened in class, Lena would have been hit!"

Zelena interrupted deliberately. "Stop talking about it. I believe my sister didn't mean it."

Their discussion continued.

Lucy listened to their excited chatter and formed a negative impression of Violeta in her mind.

Furthermore, the fact that Violeta was Jasper's "current girlfriend" only intensified Lucy's dislike for her, even though she hadn't met Violeta in person yet.

"Alright. I've heard everything you guys said. Since Violeta is so confident, we must make her regret it at this year's Moon Festival! We'll show her that our dance club is not to be messed with." "That's great!"

Everyone became excited.

"With our club president leading our rehearsals, we'll definitely give those monkeys from the tennis club a good beating!"
