Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 317 The Blakes Met the Whites

In her past life, she regarded Josh and Sharon as her own family.

After everything she went through, and their constant favoritism and ignoring of her, her sense of "filial piety" was completely gone.

She didn't care about the Blakes anymore.

No matter how Zelena tried to put on an act now, she didn't care in the slightest.

In the office, one side consisted of the calm Violeta, the counselor, and others; the other side was filled with the highly emotional Zelena and her family.

It was pretty obvious who was able to handle things calmly.

Seeing that Violeta remained indifferent, Sharon pointed at her and said, "How can you be so heartless now? We raised you for eighteen years, and even though you're not our biological child, we still cared for you. How can you just watch Lena cry and not care?"

Violeta glanced at them and smirked, saying, "I'm not her dad. If she's going to cry, there's nothing I can do."

Sharon shot back, "You need to explain yourself!"

Violeta asked, "Explain what?"

Sharon said, "Say that the factory issue has nothing to do with Lena and that it's all a misunderstanding!"

Violeta scoffed. "The evidence is clear. How is this a misunderstanding?"

Sharon shot her a sharp look and said, "It's obvious you've teamed up with other factories to make things hard for Lena. How can you keep calling this a misunderstanding?"

The room fell silent.

The counselor and the education committee director were left speechless by the exchange.

Violeta was also too tired to speak.

No matter how Violeta explained it, they would just believe that she was trying to frame Zelena.

They were only willing to trust their own daughter and not anyone else even the girl they had raised for eighteen years.
