Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 232 My Dad's Buddy's Daughter

People had mixed opinions. Some said Violeta didn't know how to appreciate goodwill, while others supported her, saying she wouldn't compromise for small benefits. But after this incident, Lucy and Violeta's relationship really hit a breaking point.

Lucy had invited Violeta, but her refusal definitely made their bad relationship worse.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, at the tennis court.

The tennis place just got some new gear, and they tossed out the old stuff.

Everyone heard about Violeta turning down Lucy's birthday bash and cheered her on.

The tennis club's rich kids were all over the place, but they couldn't stand the dance crew, so they did not feel Lucy's fancy party vibe at all.

"Violeta, way to go rejecting Lucy. People might think she's some big shot or something."

"Yeah, she's not my cup of tea."

Violeta just gave them a smirk and headed off to warm up on the court.

After she finished, she spotted Hayden and his crew rolling up.

Violeta went over and chatted with them for a bit. Suddenly, her phone rang with an electronic tone-it was Irene calling.

"Hello, Mom."

Irene's gentle voice came through, "Vio, come home earlier today. We're going out for dinner tonight."

Just as Violeta answered the phone.

Meanwhile, Zoren peeled an orange and said, "Do you guys know? Elle is flying back today."
