Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 90 Watch Your Tongue

"How could Kaylee afford such an expensive perfume?"

"Hattie mentioned before that this perfume is priceless and impossible to obtain."

"Kaylee did not come from a wealthy family. Her family is just an average working-class family! She must have stolen it."

"Yes, that's correct."

"Lena, don't worry. We'll confront her and settle the matter!"

During the last fitness class, Gillian and Candy had a falling out with Kaylee. Today was the perfect opportunity to resolve the issue.

After class, Violeta and Kaylee left the classroom together to change clothes.

Violeta was the first to finish. She told Kaylee, "I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, we'll meet outside."

Violeta nodded and left the changing room.

Not long after she left, Candy and her gang surrounded Kaylee.

Zelena and Hattie stood at the back and watched coldly from the sidelines.

"Kaylee, did you spray perfume on yourself today? Show us the perfume."

Kaylee zipped her bag and glanced at them. She questioned, "Why should I show it to you?"

That perfume was a gift from Violeta. Kaylee cherished it so much that she only sprayed a tiny amount when she opened the packaging.

These people were Zelena's followers. Why should she show it to them?

Kaylee couldn't be bothered to look at them. She grabbed her bag and was ready to leave.

Gillian stepped forward and blocked her path. She repeated, "Show us the perfume."

"Yes, we won't let you leave unless you show it!"

"What? Are you trying to cause trouble? Do you think I'm easy to intimidate?"

Kaylee often played tennis, and she was strong. She shoved Gillian with a single push.

Gillian lost her balance and almost fell.
