Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 223 Unmasking and Invitations

Evelyn repeated back to Hattie exactly what Hattie had said to her before, right in her ear.

Hattie was so furious, she was grinding her teeth. She stormed off the stage before the host had even finished

speaking.

The comment section was full of people calling Hattie a sore loser, saying she couldn't take defeat.

Previously, when "The Spring Blossom" lost, Evelyn had been very gracious, completely unlike how Hattie was

acting now. Hattie had originally thought that after defeating "The Spring Blossom," she could then take down

Violeta on stage.

That way, she would be the undisputed number one!

But who would've thought she wouldn't even cin second place!

Suspecting the problem lay with her team, Hattie went back to the locker room and immediately called the club,

demanding a full refund.

The club played dumb and passed the buck, but they made it clear there was no way she was getting a refund.

And so, the MLSS College Competition cto a successful conclusion.

That night, fireworks and the thsong lit up the sky above the stadium, celebrating the winning teams of the

competition.

Bai Zi was on stage, soaking in the cheers and glory from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Zelena stood in a dark corner below, clenching her fists in anger as she watched the shining figure

above her.

When Violeta raised her hand, her loose sleeve fell back, revealing an emerald bracelet on her wrist.

Zelena's eyes widened in shock as she clearly saw the emerald bracelet on Violeta's wrist. She glanced at her

own bracelet, and from the lustre and quality, it was obvious Violeta's bracelet was indeed an emerald!

How was it possible? How could that bitch actually be wearing a real emerald bracelet?

Zelena turned and left the stadium in a rage.

The next day, Violeta's bracelet gained various levels of attention on Facebook and the school forum.

Speople even saw her bracelet during a live stream and wanted to buy the sone.

When they took the picture to a jeweller, experts immediately identified Violeta's bracelet as an emerald, not

agate or glass.

It was a genuine emerald!

Not only was it impossible to find an identical bracelet, but even if one could be found, it would cost at least 4

million dollars.

The sources for acquiring such a bracelet were far from ordinary, and even at auctions, pieces of such high

quality were extremely rare.

A screenshot of this expert consultation went viral online.

Without Violeta needing to say a word, the rumours Zelena had spread about her bracelet being glass were

debunked.

The girls Zelena had previously mocked proudly shared the screenshot in class for several days, subtly ridiculing

Zelena for not recognising real value.

Zelena felt utterly humiliated, and her hatred only grew deeper.

Violeta and Kaylee were plotting against her using Shirley's situation, and there was also the hacker Six.

Zelena was not going to let this go. She initially planned to find another hacker on the black market to unmask

Six.

But then she discovered something unexpected!

The black market had already put a bounty on Six!

Zelena was stunned when she saw the wanted notice. Six was a wanted criminal!

Zelena had no idea that Six beca wanted person because of her. But since Six was now a fugitive and the

black market was collecting tips about Six's whereabouts with a reward, Zelena saw her chance for revenge.

Even though she didn't need the money, she was willing to provide information out of spite.

So, she contacted someone on the black market and gave them Six's Whatnumber.

The black market had been struggling to find any leads on Six. They had dispatched top-tier hackers worldwide

to investigate, but they hadn't found a single trace.

Think about it. The wanted notice had been out for so long.

The fact that they hadn't found any leads was seriously damaging the black market's reputation!

Zelena's tip cas a much-needed relief, and they quickly assigned people to investigate the WhatsApp

number, eventually tracing the IP to Quinston in Hoiten.

Two days later, word about Lucy's birthday party at the dance club spread.

She had invited everyone from the dance club to her villa for the party, including Zelena and Hattie.

Lucy wanted Jasper to attend her birthday party as well, but she had a feeling he wouldn't come, which made

her quite frustrated.

After the college competition, the gcompany signed a contract with Violeta for further shoots of game

promotional posters and a music video.

They even showed great sincerity by waiting until Violeta finished the semester, scheduling the shoot for winter

break.

However, Zelena's reputation took a significant hit due to this incident, and her standing at school was no longer

as perfect as before.

Violeta, on the other hand, gained a lot of online ffrom the competition and solidified her image as a gamer

girl.

The collaboration with the gcompany was just the icing on the cake, making others envious!

Lucy's birthday party, also known as the Toland University Socialite Gathering, promised valuable connections

and benefits to anyone invited, whether they were true socialites or not.
