Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 330 Eugene Scott

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

Violeta had had enough of the mockery.

Initially, she thought she would just endure a few remarks, but seeing that they weren't stopping, she decided to retort.

After all, she wasn't a pushover.

She smirked and looked straight at them.

Calmly, she said, "You think I'm being picky?

"You've got it wrong. You two weren't even in the running. I apologized out of courtesy, but you guys are taking it too far.

"How is it that, despite being so 'good' at your jobs, you're still stuck here after all these years?

"Instead of reflecting on your own failures, you resort to this passive-aggressive nonsense. Who do you think you are?' Winnie and Cora, who were about to leave, froze on the spot.

They were at a loss for words.

Brandon watched with surprise and amusement.

Tracy and Chad were equally shocked.

Cora snapped, "What did you say?!"

Winnie added, "Who are you to lecture us?"

Violeta replied, "You should ask yourself, who are you to mock me?"

Cora was completely enraged. "What did the talent scout find in someone like you?"

Violeta blinked innocently. "My pretty face, of course."
