Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 287 Back in Town

"Oh, by the way, Hattie came back to school a month before you did, but she hasn't been attending classes, just keeping her enrollment status." Previously, Zelena had targeted Kaylee, causing her to lose her single dorm room. The counsellor's efforts secured Kaylee a spot in a regular dorm. Kaylee had moved out of Liberty Grove.

Despite this, she left her three-coloured cat, Cleopatra, in the apartment. It was now being taken care of by the housekeeper.

"Cleopatra?"

"Yes, I named the cat Cleopatra. Haha, she's the beauty of the three-coloured cats, so Cleopatra seemed appropriate."

"That's quite a good name."

Originally, Violeta planned to return to Quinston and go home at once.

When she heard Kaylee mention that Zelena had opened a shop right across from her café, she changed her mind and decided to check out this new shop. The car dropped them off at Toland University.

Violeta didn't enter the campus. Instead, she turned towards Sunset Café with Kaylee.

Along the way, her phone kept buzzing. Violeta went out to check.

It was a message from Zoren, who had heard about her return in the group chat. Violeta replied briefly, 'Yes, I'm back. Let's have dinner later.'

Zoren replied, 'Yohoo! The superstar is back! Can I still have dinner with you, superstar?'

Violeta sent him an emoji, and she placed her phone back in her pocket.

The chat continued, but she didn't pay it any more attention.

Arriving at Sunset Café, the familiar sign greeted her. When Fiona saw Violeta through the glass, she happily came out to welcome her. "Violeta, you're back!"

Violeta smiled at Fiona and said, "Yes, I'm back."
