Chapter 173 Clear Plan

Zelena had attended the local public elementary and middle schools since she was a child.

If anyone wanted to dig into her past, checking her school records would be the best place to start.

This jogged Violeta's memory about an incident from her past life. After Zelena becpopular, an anonymous

inteuser provided sinformation to an influencer, alleging that Zelena had bullied a classmate in school,

leading to the classmate developing nerve deafness in one ear.

At the time, Zelena was the queen bee at their school.

This incident caused a small online stir but was later suppressed.

The person who leaked the information vanished without a trace.

The influencer who shared it even posted a Facebook apology letter, which stayed pinned for a month.

It seemed that Zelena had used her financial power and legal threats.

Violeta pondered carefully and realised that whoever leaked the information back then might still be in school.

Since they had cforward during Zelena's peak popularity, they likely knew more than just that one incident.

Finding this person could unravel Zelena's past without much difficulty.

With a clear plan in mind, Violeta sprang into action.

She left the coffee shop and headed to a nearby intecafe.

Once there, she sat down at a computer and began researching schools in the Arlowand area. After eliminating

soptions, she called the admissions offices of the remaining schools one by one to gather information.

Meanwhile, Hattie returned to Quinston, while Zelena headed back from Arlowand to her rented apartment in

Liberty Grove.

The two arranged to meet at the shopping center's mall.

Like sisters, they strolled through the stores together.

In a trendy clothing boutique, they perused the racks while openly chatting about Violeta and the upcoming

college competition they would face once school started.

Because of the bump on her forehead from the fall, Hattie had been wearing a beret to cover it.

Zelena said, "By the way, Hattie, did you hear about the news a few days ago about an island collapsing? It was

on the North Sea side."

Hattie winced at the mention of the island.

It belonged to her mother!

She didn't want to admit to such an embarrassing incident.

"I'm not sure. There are so many islands in the North Sea. How would | know which one collapsed?"

Zelena turned to her. "Did you really spot Violeta on that island? Could it be her island that collapsed? Haha."

Feeling irritated, Hattie swiftly changed the subject.

"Regarding the college competition, have you found your teammates?"

"I've got a team now. | paid the esports club to set up a studio, and I picked ssmall-tleaderboard players

to compete with me. Hattie, my skills are just too weak, so | won't team up with you to avoid dragging you

down."

Zelena sugarcoated her words, but her real goal was to win alone without having to carry Hattie along.

Hattie was surprised. "What? Why didn't you tellearlier?"

She didn't expect Zelena to have already found teammates on her own. Actually, even if Zelena hadn't backed

out, Hattie hadn't considered teaming up with her.

After all, Zelena's beginner skills meant they'd only lose games if they teamed up.

Although the two weren't getting along as well as they seemed, they surprisingly shared a mutual dislike for

Violeta.

Hattie added, "Since you've found teammates, that's okay. I've found mine too. Oh, by the way, have you heard

something?"

Zelena asked, "What?"

Hattie replied, "Actually, Violeta is Zoren's sister. That's why she can hang out with Jasper and his friends."

Zelena's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

Hattie smirked. "But don't be too surprised. | have enough proof to show that Violeta is Zoren's half-sister and is

an illegitimate daughter.”

"What? How is that possible? Are you sure?"

"How could | be wrong?

"During the island storm, | talked to them, and Zoren himself called Violeta his sister in front of me. He even said

he was the one who brought Violeta back to the White family! From that, it's obvious that she's Zoren's sister!"

Zelena frowned, muttering softly, "It can't be true ... Could | have made a mistake in my investigation?"

"It must be your mistake. No doubt about it."

Zelena fell silent.

Hattie continued, "That remindsof the tVioleta bought the Bamboo Eau de Parfum and custom-made

tennis racket last semester. If she's really from a regular family like you said, where did she get the money for

those?"

Thinking it over, what Hattie said did make sense.

Zelena had suspected it before, but she thought they were gifts from Jasper.

But now, thinking about it, Violeta and Jasper had been together for so long. School rumours said Jasper's longest

relationship lasted only a month. If Violeta didn't have sbackground, Jasper would have dumped her long

ago; they couldn't have been together for so long.
