Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 30 How Can I Show Them Up If I Refuse?

No way! It has to be a sham. That access card has got to be a fake!

Living in Liberty Grove was a privilege reserved for the elite, and there was no way Violeta, that conniving viper, could afford it. Not only was it exorbitantly priced, but the landlords in Liberty Grove were discerning, catering exclusively to the cream of the crop.

Even if she miraculously managed to become a tenant, it wasn’t a place your average Joe could just rent. Real estate agents in Liberty Grove were picky when it came to selecting tenants.

So, Zelena quickly deduced that Violeta was playing pretend. That Liberty Grove access card? Probably a bootleg version bought off some sketchy online marketplace!

Alright then, if this conniving girl wants to play games, I’ll play along! She thought.

With a sly grin, Zelena quipped. “Seriously? You’re in Liberty Grove, too, Sis? Funny, I’ve never spotted you around the neighborhood.

Of course. Zelena had never seen her! The property in Liberty Grove was a gift from Anton to Violeta before she started university!

Initially, Irene and Anton thought Violeta might be too exhausted to come home for lunch every day, so they gifted her a unit in Liberty Grove. It was conveniently located just a couple of streets away from Toland University, reachable in minutes by car.

They figured Violeta could take a break or nap in the apartment whenever needed.

This wasn’t a rented space; it had already been officially transferred to Violeta’s name. Violeta never claimed to have rented a place; she carried the access card without using it.

Hearing Zelena’s remark, a few sidekicks chimed in, “Oh, this access card is probably a knockoff!”

“You know how the internet is–a breeding ground for all sorts of scams. People forge access cards and turn luxury car keys into lighters just to flaunt!”

“Some folks love showing off, even when their reality is far from glamorous. It’s just absurd!”

Watching them mock Violeta, Zelena couldn’t help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.

She stifled a laugh and pretended to defend her sister, “Hold on, guys. While access cards can be faked, I know my sister isn’t the type to indulge in such antics. You’re misunderstanding her.”

“Lena, you’re too kind and trusting. None of us believe Violeta could afford Liberty Grove. Only someone like you, a true heiress, could pull it off.”

Zelena looked puzzled, “Come on, don’t say that. My sister is just like me. How about this: I’ll host everyone at my place this weekend.”
