Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 658 Who Did Zelena Upset

Violeta stated with conviction, "I'm nearly certain that Zelena is behind all of this.

"She holds a grudge against me. While it may appear that she isn't involved, my instincts tell me she was targeting me. Yet somehow, Ophelia ended up taking the brunt of it." Hayden's face grew serious. "Zelena? Do you believe she poses a real threat? I mean, in a physical sense?"

A physical threat?

In her previous life, Zelena had found enjoyment in tormenting Violeta, relishing her struggles as she fought to survive in the lower rungs of society.

But back then, it had never escalated to actual danger.

However, this time, the situation was markedly different. The unpredictability of the changes made Violeta wary; she couldn't be sure what Zelena might do next.

So, she nodded in response. "Yes. Just her presence feels threatening to me. But... considering everything that's happened, I owe her 18 years."

Violeta had been anticipating the moment when everything would finally erupt, and she sensed it was approaching rapidly.

Hayden was aware of the switch that had occurred in Violeta and Zelena's lives for the past 18 years.

Zelena's expulsion from school had created quite a buzz back then, although Hayden had already moved to Newham by that time.

He believed Violeta could handle minor setbacks in her career without assistance.

Yet, if matters had escalated to this level, it was not something he could overlook.

Had Violeta not confided in him, he would have remained in the dark. Now that he was informed, he felt compelled to take action; he wouldn't be able to call himself a man if he didn't. Hayden's eyes narrowed, resolute. Clearly, Zelena needed to be confronted.
