Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 91 You're Shameless!

Cleaning the restroom?

Zelena and Hattie exchanged glances.

Both of them were very concerned about their reputation and would rather lose credits or face disciplinary action.

The punishment of cleaning the restroom was unacceptable to them.

Losing credits or receiving disciplinary action meant nothing to them.

They could easily make up for it in other ways or use their connections to have the punishment lifted.

All that was required was to spend some money.

But cleaning the restroom was different. Everyone in the school would know and see it.

That would be extremely embarrassing.

Just the thought of it made their scalps tingle.

Zelena protested, "Counselor, I don't want to clean the restroom."

Hattie nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if we were wrong, we can just apologize to Kaylee. Cleaning the restroom is too severe, isn't it?"

"Severe?" Violeta sneered, "Alright then, if you want to apologize, do it in front of the whole school. You need to bow and apologize to her under the school building at 8 o'clock on Monday morning."

"What!?"

Violeta's demand was increasingly embarrassing for them.

Zelena frowned and pleaded pitifully, "You're too harsh."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Gillian added, "Yeah, we just wanted to confirm if Kaylee really stole something! Your demands are excessive and aggressive."

Violeta slowly shifted her gaze to Gillian. Her gaze was chilling.

Gillian immediately felt a lump in her throat, and the second half of her sentence got stuck. She couldn't say anything.

Her gaze is so terrifying.

Gillian lowered her head and avoided eye contact with Violeta.

Violeta glanced at Zelena and Hattie. She said firmly, "This isn't a negotiation. Either clean the toilets or apologize in public. Choose one. Otherwise, what right do you have to search our bags? I'll leave it at that. Let's see who has the nerve to search her bag!"

The counselor was speechless.

Hattie couldn't tolerate Violeta's arrogance!

She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Choose one, right? Then what about you? If we prove that Kaylee is a thief, what price will you pay?"

Violeta shrugged and said, "If it's proven that Kay is a thief, we'll drop out of school."

Hattie said, "Great! You said it yourself!"

Hearing Violeta's words, Zelena was overjoyed. She said, "Counselor, you heard it too. This is Violeta's word, she'll drop out of school!" The counselor had a weak presence, but he suddenly became the center of everyone's attention.

He cleared his throat softly.

Violeta was the daughter of Chancellor White. Even if she wanted to drop out, the school might not let her go so easily. It was not as easy as they thought.

If Anton found out that Violeta dropped out because she was bullied at school, what would happen then?

The counselor was in a dilemma. He asked, "Do we really need to make such a big fuss about this?"

"Of course!"

They all said it in unison.

The counselor felt embarrassed and said, "Alright then, but let's make it clear. I'm just a witness. If anyone wants to drop out or anything, I haven't heard anything. Don't come looking for trouble with me later. I know nothing."

Violeta knew that the counselor didn't dare to take responsibility.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. And what about you? What will you choose, cleaning the toilet or apologizing?"

Zelena and Hattie looked at each other. They said in unison, "Cleaning the toilet."

Violeta smirked and said, "Alright, cleaning the toilet for a month.

"Kay, open the bag and show them."

Kaylee nodded. She placed her bag on the table and unzipped it.

Everyone leaned in to take a look.

The counselor pulled a bottle of perfume out of her bag.

Hattie immediately recognized it as the full-sized bottle of Bamboo Eau de Parfum!

"This is Bamboo Eau de Parfum! How dare you claim you didn't steal it!"

Everyone wore expressions that said, "Just as we suspected! She's the thief."

"See for yourself! The truth is out! Kaylee is a thief! She stole Lena's perfume! How shameless!" "She is indeed a thief! Such a disgrace!"

"She's nothing but a thief! A shameless thief! I wonder how her parents raised her. No manners!" Kaylee was upset by their criticism, but Violeta grabbed her wrist before she could respond.

Violeta stood in front of her and said, "This perfume is genuine. Hattie recognizing it only proves that she knows her brands. How can we prove that Kay stole it?"

"Haha! With Kaylee's family background and her monthly allowance, how could she afford this?"

"Not only can she not afford it, but she also doesn't have the connections or means to buy it!"

Violeta said, "You girls have underestimated her. I'm the one who gave this perfume to Kay."

"Not everyone in this world relies on

a bottle of perfume to survive. This perfume may be precious to you, but

to me, it's no different from ottle

of mineral water."

They were speechless.

What an arrogant statement!

One should know that the retail price of this perfume was over $9,000!

If purchased through a middleman, the price doubles.

Furthermore, the value of this perfume will continue to appreciate in the future.

In a few decades, this perfume will be considered an antique fragrance, and its auction price will be much higher, possibly in the tens of thousands. Many people buy this perfume to "worship" it!

Its collectible value is extremely high. Therefore, people treat it as an investment and wait for its value to increase in the future.

Even Hattie was planning to buy it for her collection. Therefore, she was reluctant to use it and waited to use it as a tool to gain appreciation from others.

Violeta just claimed that this perfume was only worth a bottle of mineral water to her. Her arrogant tone infuriated Hattie.

Hattie's gaze was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Do you have any evidence that you bought it? Lena, you better check it carefully. Is this your perfume?"

Zelena was nervous because she had never bought the perfume. She had lied to target Kaylee and Violeta.

No one would suspect she couldn't afford it. Therefore, everyone believed her words.

Zelena was consumed with guilt, but

she didn't believe that Violeta and Kaylee could afford it. Therefore, she

concluded that there must be something wrong with it! Content

She mustered up the courage to step forward and take a look at the perfume. She feigned confidence and admitted, "Yes, it's mine."

Kaylee couldn't hold back her temper and cursed, "Zelena, you are shameless!"

The counselor asked, "Did you really look at it carefully? Is this truly yours?"

Zelena replied, "Of course! How would I make a mistake with my own belongings?"

Violeta applauded, "Well, well, well! It seems like you two will have to clean the toilets."

She calmly took out her phone and showed everyone her previous purchase records and the airway bill for the shipment.

"Take a good look, everyone. This is

my purchase record from two days

ago and the airway bill for the shipment. All the evidence is here. bought it from Ella headquarters in Descya through someone. The original packaging even has Ella's founder's personal signature and lipstick imprint."

"What?"
