Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 85 Giving A Shocking Blow

Every word from Violeta pierced Zelena's heart.

Zelena had spent a significant amount of money, hoping to become the campus belle of Toland University.

However, instead of becoming the campus belle, she had become a laughingstock!

She had wasted thousands of dollars for nothing.

She was speechless and unable to express her bitterness.

Not only was she unable to speak, but she also had to continue pretending to be ignorant and innocent.

"I genuinely didn't know. I'm sorry, Senior. I unintentionally disrupted the fairness of the competition, but I truly didn't know about this matter."

"I don't lack these thousands of dollars, but couldn't I have used them to treat my friends to a lavish meal? Why would I go and manipulate the votes? I would never knowingly commit such an act. Please believe me."

The senior had underestimated Zelena's shamelessness. She thought that presenting the evidence would be enough to prove her guilt.

But she hadn't expected Zelena to twist the truth and come up with a different explanation.

Now she couldn't deny the possibility that malicious vote manipulation had occurred, leading to Zelena's disqualification.

Members of the dance club below shouted.

"Now that it's been investigated, it's the perfect opportunity to clear Lena's name."

"Yes, Lena is not the type of person to do such things."

"Just earlier, she was so kind-hearted and even took the blame for Casey. She would never do something like this."

"I bet someone secretly manipulated the votes to harm her! I won't say who."

The senior was left speechless.

She looked at Violeta.

After exchanging glances, the senior could only say, "Alright. Since that's the case, we will reset all the votes that were manipulated backstage. Zelena, do you have any objections?"

All the manipulated votes would be reset, and the IP address of the computer used for vote manipulation would be blocked.
