Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 216 The Bracelet Showdown

Gillian and Candy, sitting beside Zelena, smugly chimed in, "Oh, Lena bought this emerald bracelet during her summer trip to Verdancia. You guys can forget about it. It's impossible to find!"

"Yeah, bracelets are just starting to become popular now, but Lena already had hers."

They continued to flatter Zelena, "It seems Lena is always ahead of the fashion curve!"

Zelena basked in their compliments, modestly replying shyly, "Oh, it's not as impressive as you say. Bracelets have always been classic! But mine was indeed purchased in Verdancia, so you might not be able to find it."

Several female classmates looked at each other and thought to themselves.

It's just a glass bracelet, even if it's from Verdancia, so what? Zelena's being way too snobbish.

One of the girls, whose family was also quite well-off, felt a prickle of annoyance at Zelena's words.

She said, "Zelena, you could just tell us where you bought it. We could easily get a purchasing agent to buy it for us. It's just a matter of spending a bit more money."

Zelena chuckled, deliberately being coy. "I said you can't buy it, and you really can't, even with a purchasing agent."

The girl was speechless at her words.

"Is it a limited edition?"

Zelena waved her hand adorned with the bracelet in front of them. "Not a limited edition. It's just that there's only one like this in the entire world."
