Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 315 Make it a Big Deal

They were still her foster parents, and after eighteen years of being raised by them, Violeta couldn't forget their kindness. So she still called them Mom and Dad.

The counselor and the academic officer were completely confused when they heard Violeta call them Mom and Dad.

What's happening?

Why is Violeta calling them Mom and Dad?

"It's been a few years, Vio. You've changed a lot," Sharon said, looking Violeta up and down with a bit of a stern tone.

Violeta lowered her eyes and didn't say anything.

Josh said, "Lena had such a big incident at school, you can't avoid the blame! Explain to the teacher that Lena had nothing to do with it." Violeta smirked. "Dad, I don't get what you mean."

Josh snorted. "You don't get it? What is there not to get? What did you do to Lena at school? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be in this mess. Do you think you can keep this hidden? Let me tell you, if Lena can't continue her studies, you're going to be in big trouble!"

Sharon said, "Lena always wanted to be a good sister to you, but you treated her like this. No matter how much she suffered before, she never came back to tell us. But you, not knowing your limits, even tried to force her to drop out. How could you be so cruel? How did you become like this?"

Three years without seeing each other, and the first thing they did was blame her.

Luckily, Violeta never had any expectations of them, so she stayed calm and didn't feel anything.

She even felt like laughing at their behavior.

Before Zelena came back, Violeta thought Josh and Sharon were reasonable people.

But after Zelena returned, it seemed like they were either fooled by her or felt so guilty about her that they chose to be blind and deaf to the truth. They ignored the obvious facts and chose to believe only what Zelena said.

Violeta didn't want to argue with them or explain herself.

They used the fact that they raised her to guilt-trip her. If things got out of control, it would be the Whites' reputation on the line at school.

This was exactly Zelena's plan. She wanted everyone to know that Violeta had taken her rightful place as the family's daughter for eighteen years. She also wanted to force Violeta to drop out, showing everyone just how cruel Violeta supposedly was.

Zelena was willing to hurt herself just to hurt Violeta.

Violeta looked at the counselor and said, "I'll leave this to you. I'm heading back to class."

"Stop right there!"

Sharon stepped forward and blocked Violeta from leaving.

"You need to clear everything up! You can't just blame everything on Lena!"

Violeta looked at Sharon with calm and cold eyes. "What am I blaming her for?"

Sharon pressed on. "You know exactly what you've done!"

The counselor quickly stepped in, "Sharon, please calm down. This has nothing to do with Violeta."

the Blakes were a prominent wealthy family in Arlowand.

So Sharon was used to being dominant and imposing. She shot a cold glare at the counselor and said, "You don't know anything. You've all been deceived by her! I raised Ker for eighteen years, and this is what I get someone ungrateful! Content

Previously, there were rumors online that Violeta had stolen someone else's eighteen years as a daughter of a wealthy family.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Though it was only a short-lived rumor, the counselor dismissed it as gossip.

He knew Violeta was the daughter of the Whites and couldn't believe she had stolen someone else's life.

But after meeting Josh and Sharon today, they realized that things were indeed more complicated than they thought.

Still, the counselor chose to support

Violeta. He put some distance between Sharon and Violeta and said, "We can't control what happens outside of school, but what happens inside the school is clear. Zelena's troubles are her own doing and can't be blamed on anyone else especially Violeta.

"Sharon, I'm speaking to you kindly because you're a parent of a student, but please don't cause a scene in the office. This isn't a place where you can just boss everyone around."

No matter how wealthy the Blakes were, it didn't influence T University-they were not even on the board of trustees.

Seeing the counselor's reaction, Sharon was even more convinced that Zelena must have suffered a lot in class.

It was a good thing they came to the school in person. Otherwise, this unfair counselor might have continued siding with Violeta against her own daughter.

"Okay, fine. Don't go anywhere. I won't let this matter go just like that."

Sharon took a deep breath and said, "I trust the school won't wrong a good student or let a bad student go. I just want to overturn what was decided before and get justice for my daughter."

She looked at Violeta and said, "If you have nothing to hide, why are you leaving the office?"

Violeta replied, "Fine, I'll stay and hear what you have to say."

After everything that happened in her previous life, Violeta already knew they would always side with Zelena.

Zelena wanted to make a big deal out of this, and then so be it.

Josh said, "I heard you found your real parents in Quinston and that you've been doing pretty well. We're already here at the school, why don't we have your real parents come by as well?"
