Chapter 211 Unexpected Encounters

Violeta patted her shoulder. "This money was originally owed to you by Zelena. I promise I'll keep working on getting back at her, including ensuring you get your share."

Shirley, touched by Violeta's gesture, wiped away her tears before voicing her curiosity. "Why do you want revenge on Zelena too? Is there some personal issue between you two? Violeta lowered her eyelids, not revealing too much. She said, "Leave Quinston, gather your strength in another city, and return when you're ready and strong enough." "Okay, I understand. Thank you," Shirley replied.

That night, Shirley left Quinston on a late-night flight.

Violeta and Kaylee went to the airport together to see Shirley off. After watching the plane take off, they left together.

Under the night sky, they walked out of the airport together.

"It feels good to do a good deed," Kaylee remarked.

"Vio, you're a good person," she added.

Violeta didn't want to claim she was a good person because everything she did was aimed solely at Zelena.

"People have many sides, Kay. What you see now is just one part of who I am," Violeta replied calmly.

Violeta's intuition was right on target.

After some reflection, she couldn't rid herself of the sense that something felt off, though she chose not to linger.
