Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 176 Congratulations on Your Debut

To ease the pressure on her family, Shirley left senior year early.

She moved to Quinston to avoid running into Zelena again and had no intention of returning to Arlowand.

Little did she know, her life's turning point led to tragedy, while Zelena's path led to success.

In the second half of senior year, Zelena left her old life behind and became the heiress of the Blake family in Arlowand.

"Do you know where Zelena Cooke is?" Violeta asked.

Shirley shook her head. "I'm not sure. Isn't she in Arlowand?"

"No, she's in Quinston, and she's studying at Toland University," Violeta said.

"What!?"

With her low grades, how did she get into Toland University?

"Because she's now the heiress of the Blake family. Her last name isn't Cooke anymore; it's Blake now," Violeta explained.

Shirley's eyes widened. "The heiress of the Blake family?"

"Yes."
