Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 32 Can You Afford It Even If You Have Ten Lives?

“She shouldn’t have been invited in the first place!”

The three of them became defenders of justice, standing up for Zelena,

Violeta found their words ridiculous.

“I’ve seen foot–binding, but I’ve never seen brain–binding. When did I say I wanted to be with you guys?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the three couldn’t wait to mock her.

“If you’re not with Lena, then why did you come to Liberty Grove?”

“Oh, so you think you’re the owner of the apartment in Liberty Grove? Dream on!”

“Yeah, I checked this apartment online before. The occupancy rate is 99% Lena rented the only unit left, and the only vacant one is the rooftop garden on the top floor.”

“Oh, are you going to claim that you’re the owner of the rooftop garden? Hilarious! Do your research before making up lies!”

The higher the Liberty Grove’s apartment building floor, the more expensive it was. The price of the top floor was several times that of the regular floors.

Zelena had previously wanted to rent the top floor, but the rent was almost a five–digit number per month, and she couldn’t afford it.

If Zelena couldn’t rent the place, could Violeta?

Absolutely impossible!

Convinced that Violeta was just showing off, Zelena smiled and said, “Sis, don’t try to act tough. It’s okay, I don’t blame you. As long as you get rid of this dog, you can still come into my apartment. And if you want, you can even live with me!”

To the other three, it was obvious that getting rid of the stray dog in the bag was an obvious choice to move into the high–end apartments in Liberty Grove. Who would even consider such an option?

Comparing a stray dog to Liberty Grove?

Anyone with common sense would know what to choose!

Unexpectedly, Violeta sneered.

“Well, forget about this apartment. Even if you offered me all the apartments in Liberty Grove in exchange, I still wouldn’t give up Tuna. I wouldn’t trade her for anything, not even with your ten lives.

“If you’re not using your eyes, you might as well gouge them out. Tuna isn’t just a stray dog. She’s a Kenai Peninsula woll cub.”

Kenai what?

These words circled in the minds of the group, leaving them dumbfounded.

Not a stray dog, but a wolf cub?

Who is she tiving to fool?

Zelena said, “Sis, it’s just a stray dog. Stop fooling us. The elevator is almost here. Just get rid of it!”

Violeta thought she couldn’t understand human language and that something was wrong with her brain.

She couldn’t be bothered to say another word.

The elevator doors opened at that moment, revealing a middle–aged woman in a black uniform stepping out

The woman glanced at the group standing by the elevator, and her gaze landed on Violeta. She politely smiled and said, “Ms, Violeta”

The group was stunned.

Violeta spoke softly, “Ms. Silverleaf, the butler?”

Ms. Silverleaf nodded. “Yes, Ms. Violeta.“”

Zelena and the others exchanged glances, still not understanding what was happening.

“Ms. Violeta, please.”

Violeta entered the elevator, and Ms. Silverleaf glanced at the group by the door. “Aren’t you coming in?”

Zelena and the others finally realized what was happening and entered the elevator.

Ms. Silverleaf had excellent professional manners. After pressing the top floor button, she looked at Zelena and her companions politely and asked. “Are you not pressing a floor

button?”

Zelena realized and reached out to press the 21st–floor button.

The top floor was the 22nd floor.

In other words, the floor Zelena rented was just below Violeta’s.

The atmosphere in the elevator became heavy.

The phone vibrated twice, indicating a group message.

Zoren and the others were informed that Violeta had arrived at Liberty Grove, so they also wanted to join in the excitement.

Vistera took out her phone and responded to the messages

The toma emerged from the bag, its round eyes glancing at Zelena and her companions, Jaring its teeth and looking fintor

Zelena and her companions never expected Violeta to go to the top floor Could it be that she Hved there?

That seems highly unlikely This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

An the elevator normided, they quickly arrived at the 21st floor.

Zelena stopped out of the elevator, looking back three times. However, Violeta remained unfazed inside, still engrossed in replying to WhatsApp messages, not even glancing at them

Finally, Zelonn couldn’t help but ask Ms. Silverleaf, “Um, I want to ask. Does she reside on the 22nd floor?

Ms Salverleaf paused momentarily, looking at Zeleria with a puzzled expression. “Are your referring to Ms. Violeta?

Zelena replied, “She’s my sister, and as far as I know, she shouldn’t have the means to rent the top floor. So, I want to know what’s going on

“You’re Ms. Violeta’s sister?”

Ms. Silverleal was very surprised. I think you must have mistaken her

At this moment, Violeta finally finished replying to the messages, put away her phone, and stored coldly at Zelena.

Zelena’s three companions also tipoke up, saying, “Violeta is our classmate. How could we possibly be mistaken? So we also want to ask, did we misunderstand? Violeta cannot possibly be the tenant on the top floor She is just an ordinary person. How could she afford

to rent t

Ms Silverlead felt that these people were uncultured, so she said, “You are the ones who misunderstood. Rent? Sony, the top floor is never available for rent”

After speaking, Ms. Silverleaf pressed the button, and the elevator door slowly closed, leaving Zelena and her companions outside

Not rented?

Could it be she purchased it?

Impossible!

If the top floor apartment was purchased, it would be at an exorbitant price!

If rented, although Zelena would feel a bit hurt, she could still afford it.

But if purchased, she definitely couldn’t afford it.

Zelena couldn’t afford it, how could Violeto afford it!

Watching the door close, Zelena’s hearted, and she couldn’t comprehend it.

“What on earth is going on?”

Zelona forced a smile. I don’t know either. Forget it. Let’s go inside first. We can ask her about it next time”

One of them confusedly asked, “Lona, Violeta lives on the top floor. Could she have deceived your Dad and Mom into giving her money to rent the apartment? How could she be so wicked!”

Impossible.

They didn’t know, but Zelena was very clear about it.

Ever since Violeta left the Blake family, Zelena had been manipulating Mr. and Mrs. Blake, and they had long stopped giving Violeta any money, not even a penny.

How could they possibly give her money to rent such a nice apartment?

This person must have used some other method to live on the top floor.

“But speaking of it, being able to afford the Liberty Grove penthouse is already a sign of being an upper–class person in Quinston, I wish I could also go up to the garden on the top floor and have a look.”

The tone of this speech was exactly the same as the previous flattery towards Zelena.

Zelena turned her head and glanced at her.

The person speaking quickly shut her mouth, smiled at Zelena, and said, “But I still think you, Lena, are much better than Violeta. Violeta has a wicked heart!

Zelena smiled insincerely and used her fingerprint to open the door to the apartment.

The group quickly walked in. Their faces filled with joy as they looked at this luxurious flat.

Upstairs.

Ms. Silverleaf opened the door. Violeta walked in, carrying Tuna out of her bag and placing it on the floor.

The decoration style of the entire apartment is a combination of light luxury and understated

extravagance.

With its expansive floor–to–ceiling windows, the lighting is stunning. Tuna’s paws gracefully touched the floor as it joyfully scampered ahead.
