Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 313 The Unraveling Crisis

Zelena couldn't accept the news and needed time to process it.

She immediately turned and left the office.

The advisor stood up. "Zelena, where are you going? We're not done talking! What kind of attitude is this?"

Zelena turned back, her eyes a bit red. She looked at them without the respect she once had and said bluntly, "What's there to talk about? If it comes to that, I'll just drop out." After all, attending Toland University was just a step in her plan, a mere stepping stone.

Now that she was already in her senior year, it didn't matter if she didn't finish. She had already made the connections she needed, and a degree wasn't essential.

Besides, the Blake family was wealthy enough to send her abroad for further education if necessary.

Zelena wasn't bothered by the school's disciplinary actions. She had stayed at the school mainly to suppress Violeta and to maintain her image as a model student. But now, with everything falling apart, there was no reason to stay.

In hindsight, she thought she should have been more like Hattie, embracing her "rich girl" nature without pretending.

At least she would have enjoyed herself more.

With that, Zelena walked out of the office.

Gillian and Candy were waiting for her outside. When they saw her, they rushed over with concern. "Lena, how did it go? Did you clear things up?"

Zelena gave a cold laugh, glanced at them, and left without saying a word.

Gillian and Candy exchanged confused looks, not knowing what had happened.

The teachers in the office were furious at Zelena's rude attitude.

The academic committee member stood up.

"This is unacceptable. We need to call her parents to the school! If necessary, we'll expel her."
