Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 17 An Unexpectedly Skilled Cook

The five of them left Carom Clubs together.

Suddenly, Violeta’s phone rang. It was Niall calling-

“Hello, Niall.

Niall’s gentle voice sounded from the phone. “Vio, how’s the orientation? Do you like Toland University?”

“Of course, I love it! Violeta replied.

Niall asked, “Why is it so noisy on your end? Aren’t you on campus?”

Zoren snatched the phone before Violeta could answer. “Hi, Niall, it’s me. The orientation ended in the afternoon, and we brought Vio to have fun. We’ll be having fondue for dinner after this. Don’t worry, I promise to take good care of Vio and bring her back safely.”

Violeta did not have friends when she came to Quinston. Thus, Niall was relieved that Zoren hung out with her. However, he could not resist giving a few warnings.

“You better not take Vio to questionable places, or else…

“Oh, Niall, I know, I know! I wouldn’t dare. Also, it’s not just the two of us. Hayden and the others are also with us. You can rest assured!”

“Is Hayden there too? Okay then. Make sure to bring her home before nine.”

“Okay, got it! I’ll hang up now!”

After a brief chat with Niall, Zoren ended the call and returned the phone to Violeta. “Here you go. All settled!”

Initially, Niall had doubts about Zoren, but when he heard Hayden was with them, he felt at ease. The reason was simple. Hayden was known for being an upright gentleman. As an heir to the Frost family, he was famous among the upper class for his integrity. He avoided any reckless behavior.

Furthermore, Hayden had a unique background, unlike most members of upper–class society.

Zoren and the other two came from business families. But Hayden’s family was involved in politics. His family was a prestigious political family. The elders in his family were high–ranking government officials.

Thus, Hayden’s future was already planned out. Among the four of them, he was the de facto leader.

The Frost family had strict rules, and Hayden’s upbringing forbade him from going to questionable places such as brothels and nightclubs. Therefore, Niall felt at ease knowing Hayden was with them.

Violeta took her phone from Zoren, asking. “What
