Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 173 Clear Plan

Zelena had attended the local public elementary and middle schools since she was a child.

If anyone wanted to dig into her past, checking her school records would be the best place to start.

This jogged Violeta's memory about an incident from her past life. After Zelena became popular, an anonymous internet user provided some information to an influencer, alleging that Zelena had bullied a classmate in school, leading to the classmate developing nerve deafness in one ear.

At the time, Zelena was the queen bee at their school.

This incident caused a small online stir but was later suppressed.

The person who leaked the information vanished without a trace.

The influencer who shared it even posted a Facebook apology letter, which stayed pinned for a month.

It seemed that Zelena had used her financial power and legal threats.

Violeta pondered carefully and realised that whoever leaked the information back then might still be in school.

Since they had come forward during Zelena's peak popularity, they likely knew more than just that one incident. Finding this person could unravel Zelena's past without much difficulty.

With a clear plan in mind, Violeta sprang into action.

She left the coffee shop and headed to a nearby internet cafe.
