Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 238 A Frustrating Day

Back in class, Zelena randomly picked her to be the team leader. She must have had some sneaky plan behind it.

Zelena loved being in the spotlight, but this time, she gave the chance to Violeta instead. There was definitely something in it for her.

If Zelena didn't have some scheme up her sleeve, she wouldn't have been so nice to push Violeta to take the role.

Even though Violeta wasn't interested in leading, she was curious about Zelena's next move. So, she went along with it to see what Zelena was plotting.

Violeta figured Zelena might mess with the class funds, so she marked the envelope where the money was stored.

Now, she was ready to see how Zelena planned to get away with it!

Everyone had their hands up for inspection one by one, so it was really obvious when someone didn't.

"Zelena, why aren't you raising your hand?"

The counselor noticed Zelena wasn't participating.

Zelena's expression changed slightly. "Mr. Ecton, does this method even work? It seems kind of silly."

The counselor said, "Kaylee didn't take the money, so this is a serious case of someone setting her up. We need to figure this out. Violeta was smart to leave a clue. Are you not raising your hand because you've touched the highlighted envelope?"

Zelena felt a pang of anxiety, but she kept her cool.

"Nah, I'm just skeptical if this method will work," she said calmly.
