Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 12 Have I Not Been Patient Enough?

“A thief?!”

“What’s happening?”

“Has someone stolen something? How brazen! How dare they steal with so many people around?”

“Anybody who dares to steal something here must be a habitual offender or a new student. They must be punished severely.”

“This student is well–dressed and doesn’t look like a thief. Could it be a misunderstanding?”

“Oh, please. A misunderstanding? Looks are deceiving. Don’t be fooled by her beauty. That’s how thieves operate these days. Don’t think she can’t be a thief just because she’s pretty!”

The crowd was engaged in a heated discussion. Some didn’t believe that Violeta was the thief, but most did. After all, rumors spread like wildfire.

Zelena seemed willing to publicly confront Violeta to get the photo. She had dropped all pretense and no longer spoke to Violeta affectionately.

“Are you sure this photo is yours?”

“Yes. It’s not a photo of me. It’s a photo of a girl with a round face and bangs, and it’s important to me. Give it back to me!”

Heh. Zelena can even accurately describe the little girl’s appearance in the photo. This confirmed that Zelena had intentionally stolen this photo from Violeta in her previous life. The picture was indeed Zelena’s stepping

The onlookers didn’t know the importance of this photo, but they chose to believe Zelena when they saw her on the verge of tears.

“It’s just a photo. She’s about to cry. Just give it back to her.”

“Why is this girl like this? Is she really so broke that she needs to steal a photo? She’s really desperate.

Violeta ignored the chattering crowd and told Zelena, “What if this photo doesn’t belong to you? What will you do? You accused me of stealing. I can sue you for defamation!”

“That’s impossible! This photo belongs to
