Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 31 Zelena’s Fear Of Dogs

After the club registration ended, the tennis club announced the preliminary screening list and the unified assessment time

Zelena logged into the website with a few followers, feeling confident as she checked the list.

But to her surprise, she saw Violeta’s name at the top of the list–in the first row!

She was astonished!

Impossible!

She had tom up the form that Violeta submitted, so how could her name still be on the list after the preliminary screening!?

“The first one is Violeta? She’s incredibly lucky,” others mocked.

With a tense expression, Zelena clenched her fist under her sleeve and said, “My sister has always been lucky. I remember last time, during military training, the tennis club president, Jasper, went to talk to her. They should be good friends!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to understand something in an instant.

“The heartthrob of the computer science department! I heard that Jasper is the most charming one and has had many girlfriends. Could it be that Jasper has taken a liking to Violeta?”

“Oh my god, now that I think about it, it’s very possible. Jasper’s ex–girlfriends have always been tall and aloof, just like Violeta.”

“Tsk tsk. It’s disgusting to think she got in through this kind of relationship. I feel sick. Violeta exceeded my lowest expectations”

Everyone discussed fervently, and this rumor somehow spread out

The rumor became more and more outrageous, and soon, the entire performing arts department knew about the inappropriate relationship between Violeta and the tennis club president, Jasper!

Some even say that Violeta was Jasper’s mistress. Even before he broke up with his previous girlfriend, she got involved with him.

Violeta ignored Red Hat for five days.

Once again, she hacked into Red Hat’s computer and opened the folder she had left behind.

Her words were still there, but underneath that passage. Red Hat had left two sentences:

“Who are you?”

“Are you six from the dark web7” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Violeta’s alias on the dark web was ‘sc

It seems that Red Hat is not foolish

She wondered how Red Hat spent the days she ignored him.

Violeta typed a series of numbers separated by periods into the document, accompanied by a smiling face emoji

Then she erased her tracks and logged out of his computer.

On the other side, a man with long, messy hair was eating in the Toland University cafeterial while looking at his computer.

He trembled with anticipation as he opened the file and saw the string of numbers left by Violeta, completely stunned.

Because those numbers left by Violeta were none other than his current IP address.

In other words, Violeta had already traced his IP

As long as she wanted, she could find him at any time!

The smiling emoji left behind had a provocative meaning, as if inviting him.

It seemed to say, “I have already exposed you completely. If you have the guts, come expose

me too.”

George frantically typed a bunch of text in the document.

But after thinking about it, he deleted it and only left the sentence: ‘Why me?

In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.

Violeta left early, carrying her bag with Tuna inside. The driver took her to Liberty Grove.

Getting out of the car, Violeta could see from a distance the magnificent entrance of Liberty Grove Apartments, which had been beautifully renovated.

Violeta came to see the house in Liberty Grove and also to meet Zelena as per their appointment.

Knowing that Violeta was coming, the apartment steward took the elevator down to greet her and escort her upstairs.

While Violeta was waiting for the elevator, Zelena and her three followers happened to arrive.

exclaimed loudly.

expect you to come so early, one of Zelena’s followers

Violeta turned her head slowly and gave them a chilly glance.

Little did she expect Zelena’s rented apartment to be in the same building as hers,

“When we were in class, you seemed reluctant to come, but who would have expected you to arrive faster than everyone else? It’s shocking, Zelena remarked.

“Why don’t you take the elevator?” one of the assistants asked.

“She doesn’t have the fingerprint or password, so she definitely can’t use it. It’s obvious,” another assistant added.

The elevators in Liberty Grove were exclusive to each household, and one needed a password or fingerprint to access each floor.

They were correct. Violeta didn’t have the elevator fingerprint.

Since it was her first time visiting, she hadn’t had the chance to register her fingerprint yet, so the steward had to come down and greet her.

Zelena felt secretly delighted and approached Violeta, pretending to be concerned. “Sis, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming so early? You could have come with us in the same car if I had known.”

“Today, I rode in the extended series of the Rolls–Royce for the first time, and it feels completely different!”

Hearing their compliments, Zelena felt pleased.

She placed her hand on Violeta’s shoulder and said, “Sis, don’t be stubborn. You have my phone number. You could have called me

Violeta hadn’t finished speaking when Tuna, peeking out of the bag, caught a glimpse of Zelena.

“Arfi Tuna barked. Zelena didn’t expect there to be a dog in Violeta’s bag! She was startled on the spot. “Ah!”

“What is this!”

Zelena took a step back. She was terrified of dogs because she had been chased and bitten by one as a child. So, dogs were her least favorite!

The three people behind promptly supported Zelena.

They looked into Violeta’s bag and saw a scruffy dog head!

“Oh my! This dog is so ugly Unbelievable.”

“It must be a mutt. Violeta, what kind of taste do you have to keep such an ugly dog??”

“Exactly. And you put it in your bag? It suddenly barks. Who are you trying to scare to death!”

Tuna tilted its head.

It seemed to understand their insults, calling it ugly and saying it was a dog!

“Woof! Woof!”

Who’s a dog? Your whole family are a bunch of dogs!

Violeta patted its head. “Stop barking.

Zelena stood firm, a hint of malice in her eyes as she looked at Violeta. This woman must have intentionally brought a dog to scare her!

Luckily, she reacted quickly earlier, or she would have been bitten!

“Sis, you know I’m afraid of dogs. There’s no need to bring a dog specifically to scare me!”

Zelena is afraid of dogs?

Violeta was surprised to learn this. She had no idea that Zelena was afraid of dogs.

Suddenly… Violeta remembered something.

Nolan had a golden retriever. This golden retriever had a great personality, and Violeta had interacted with this golden retriever in her previous life.

But shortly after Zelena and Nolan were together, the golden retriever accidentally ate something it shouldn’t have and died from poisoning

In the previous life, everyone thought that the golden retriever had mistakenly ingested poison. Still, now it seems highly likely that it was because Zelena was afraid of dogs and intentionally poisoned the dog!

Zelena was unexpectedly so malicious!

Violeta looked at her with a sudden hint of hostility in her eyes.

“Tuna only barks at people she dislikes. If you come any closer, I can’t guarantee that she won’t bite you.

Zelena’s face turned pale.

Three assistants spoke up in defense of Zelena. “Violeta, what are your intentions? You know Lena is afraid of dogs, yet you came to her apartment with a dog!”

“Yeah, it’s so malicious. How can there be someone like you? Lena, I think you better not let her in!”
