Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 221 A Tip

After careful consideration, Zelena suspected that Kaylee had used information to bait her earlier, and it was highly likely that it was under Violeta's instructions!

At the time, Zelena was too shocked by Kaylee's possession of the incriminating material and worried about the consequences, leading her to act impulsively.

However, the involvement of the hacker puzzled her.

What about Six the Hacker?

Was the hacker also bought off by Violeta?

How did that woman wield such power?

Hattie interrupted her thoughts, "Have you dealt with that girl named Shirley?"

Zelena replied, "I already confronted her. She's left Quinston. I can't find her, but if she dares to return, I'll make her pay!"

Hattie leaned against the couch and said, "Since we're friends, let me give you a tip."

Zelena's expression changed.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"What?"

Hattie didn't want Zelena to fall so quickly.

They were still publicly known as friends at school, and Hattie suspected Violeta's involvement in this incident.

She needed Zelena to counter Violeta.

Therefore, Zelena was still useful.

"Tell me, what's the tip?" Zelena asked.

Hattie smirked. "This incident isn't a big deal. The reason it's trending is because someone is buying traffic behind the scenes."

She grabbed a piece of paper from the coffee table, tore it in half, and placed it beside her diamond hairpin.

"Which do you think is more attention-grabbing, a piece of scrap paper or my hairpin?"

Zelena understood immediately.

Hattie was suggesting she divert attention from her scandal by creating a bigger one.

"I get it," Zelena said.

Hattie patted Zelena's shoulder. "I've given you the method. It's up to you now. I need to go compete. Good luck." With that, Hattie left the lounge.

Having grown up around Hannah, Hattie knew many public relations tactics.

Who said the public's eyes were discerning?

If you covered them, they wouldn't see anything.

Zelena watched Hattie leave, her eyes narrowing.

She knew Hattie had ulterior motives for helping her.

Zelena had previously bribed the club to have Hattie's team throw the finals, but now she was disqualified.

She wouldn't let her money go to waste.

If she couldn't win the championship, neither could Hattie.

Zelena called the club. Having learned of her disqualification, the entertainment department asked, "Ms. Reid, about your previous instructions ... " "Proceed as planned," Zelena said coldly. "Make her lose."

"Alright."

"Click ...

The call ended.

Hattie Ridge believed she was cleverly manipulating the situation, but she might be unaware of being manipulated herself.

The true winner remained hidden.

Creating a distraction to overshadow her scandal wasn't difficult for Zelena.

Zelena was confident about that.

In her past life, her obsession with Violeta led her to closely follow entertainment news.

Her keen eye for entertainment news meant she had a vast mental library of past scandals that had shaken the social media landscape.

From on-set affairs to other sensational stories, these were far juicier than her own predicament.

Weren't these more attention-grabbing than her scandal?

Zelena smiled, quickly searching her

mind for relevant gossip from this period, then casually found the phone number of an entertainment magazine online and called to tip them off.

At the live broadcast venue.

Violeta's team took the stage, facing Evelyn's team.

This was their second match. Violeta was glad they had made it through the revival round, but she wouldn't give up the championship.

Both teams smiled at each other before sitting down at their computers.

As the match began, MLSS officially announced the disqualification, and the online comments gradually returned to normal.

"Ah, I love both teams."

"I don't want Violeta to lose! Go, Violeta! Go, The Mighty Dragons!"

The two most outstanding female captains of this year's high school competition met again. Who would win?

Hattie sat calmly below the stage.

This time, Evelyn was cautious, not daring to slack off.

But Violeta was relaxed, playing with ease.

The economic gap between the two sides was small, waiting for a big play to see who would drop points.

Finally, nearly twenty-five minutes

into the match, Violeta took the

initiative and killed the opponent

man during a team fight.

The opposing marksman was shocked. She had been very careful but was still killed.

How did Violeta predict her movement?

Her game sense was incredible!!

With the marksman dead, the team fight erupted. The opponents couldn't resist and tried to retreat, but it was too late.

They were wiped out.

Evelyn frowned, watching helplessly as the opposing team pushed the

er all the way to their base until
