Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 3 The White Family's Daughter
"Ms. Violeta, didn't you make the phone call just now?"
"I did." Violeta nodded. She glanced at the nearby luxury car and asked doubtfully, "It can't be..."-
"Well, there's no mistake then. Please get into the car." After that, the bodyguard didn't say anything else. He picked Violeta up
and carried her into the car while she still felt bewildered!
Violeta was utterly stunned! Hold on. Are bodyguards so intimidating these days?! This isn't some kind of freaking human
trafficking scheme, is it?! What are the chances of a Rolls-Royce being used for abduction?!
"What on earth is going on?" Violeta asked.
"Ms. Violeta, you'll find out when we arrive."
Wow, he's really being mysterious.
Before long, the Rolls-Royce arrived at a mansion. Step ping out of the car, Violeta was so astonished she couldn't utter a word
as she looked at the building before her.
The bodyguard gestured. "This way."
The mansion's gates opened, and servants lined up in two rows to welcome her.
Violeta walked into the mansion that was luxuriously decorated with antique furnishings everywhere... Is this really an
impoverished family? This is not quite what I imagined. Have I made a mistake?
Just then, an elderly lady with gray hair rushed down. She was wearing a gray coat and using a walking stick. She came up to
Violeta excitedly. The rims of her eyes were red as she asked, "Are you the girl who made the call!?"
Violeta replied, "Yes, I am, but a man answered when I called. What's going on..." Before she could figure out what was
happening, the medical team rushed out from the side and quickly set down a medical kit. They immediately drew blood from
Violeta for a DNA test. Violeta was shocked by this sudden turn of events!
"Come, my dear. Let's sit down and talk." The elderly lady held Violeta's hand and sat down on the sofa. "What's your name, my
dear?"

"Violeta Blake."
The elderly lady repeated it and nodded. "How did you find out you're a part of our family?"
"To be honest, I'm not really sure. This isn't what I imagined, either. The person who gave me the information said that my family
is penniless. She told me my dad is a compulsive gambler, my mom is a malicious woman, and my brother is a notorious
bachelor."
"A compulsive gambler, a malicious woman, and a notorious bachelor? Haha..." The old lady laughed. "No one has ever
described the White family like this before!"
The medical team next to them quickly conducted a DNA test with Violeta's blood, and the results were displayed on the
machine, showing a 99.99% match. The doctor exclaimed, "Madam! We've gotten the result! She's a White!"
"What?! Is that true?!" The old lady stood excitedly from the sofa and grabbed Violeta's hand. She was overcome with emotion
and rendered momentarily speechless. "Vio! You're back! I finally have you back! Thank heavens! This is wonderful!"
"You're not a Blake! You're a White! You're Violeta White!"
"Violeta White?" Violeta felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of her last name. But since she had found her
biological family, it was reasonable to change her last name. "What on earth is going on?"
"Don't worry. I'll explain everything to you." Old Mrs. White held Violeta's hand and slowly told her about when they discovered
she was switched at the hospital.
When Violeta was born, the nurse accidentally switched Violeta with another baby while cleaning her. By the time the hospital
realized the mistake and wanted to look for her, she had already been taken out of the hospital, and there was no news of her
since then.
In other words, three babies were switched back then! The White family quickly discovered that their child was switched and
conducted numerous investigations. They managed to find her family and promptly returned the baby, who was switched with
Violeta, to her biological parents, allowing her to grow up with them.
However, Violeta's whereabouts remained unknown. The White family searched for a long time and tried various methods but
found nothing. On the other hand, the Blake family never realized the switch and raised Violeta for eighteen years until the car
accident, when Zelena discovered her true identity and found her way back.

The White family was in such enviable circumstances. Hence, many impostors approached them to deceive them for money.
Eventually, they decided to change public opinion and make up false general information about themselves. There were rumors
that the White family was destitute and was made up of a gambling addict, a wicked woman, and a notorious bachelor. This was
to prevent scammers from approaching them.
All the false information Zelena had found was just a deliberate smokescreen set up by the White family! In reality, Violeta's
biological parents were extremely wealthy! The White family was far from destitute. They were living in a lavish house which was
decorated extravagantly. They were incredibly affluent and influential.
"So my dad isn't a compulsive gambler?"
"Of course not! The White family is renowned and wealthy in Quinston!"
"My mom isn't a malicious woman either?"
"That's nonsense. Your mom is an artist! She's an opera singer!"
"So, my older brother... isn't a notorious bachelor either?"
"Well... that's not entirely false. Your older brother inherited your grandfather's oil field and is now involved in the energy
business! He's thirty years old and still doesn't have a partner yet. It's a pity!" Violeta was astonished but quickly came to her
senses and asked, "So, who answered the phone when I called earlier?"
"It was your cousin, Zoren White!" Zoren... Zero... She didn't expect his name to be a pseudonym!
The White family's wealth was a pleasant surprise for Violeta.
Old Mrs. White held Violeta's hand as tears streamed down her face. "Violeta, you must have suffered a lot all these years! Your
parents will return soon, and our family will finally reunite! It's a pity my husband didn't live long enough to see you return. I never
thought I'd see the day of your return, but the heavens have favored me! All those years of fasting and praying weren't in vain.
Vio, you're my precious granddaughter!"
These words moved Violeta deeply. Blood is thicker than water, and Violeta couldn't help but tear up at being reunited with her
biological family.
"Grandma? Are you really my grandmother? It's so good to be reunited with you, Grandma!"

In Violeta's past life, she found herself entangled in conflict with Zelena and never had the chance to meet her biological parents
until her demise. Betrayed by everyone, she failed to protect everything she cherished.
Looking back now, it seemed utterly absurd. Everything Violeta desperately clung to in her previous life never belonged to her.
However, she neglected the family she truly belonged to. With a second chance a life, Violeta realized how mistaken she was!
She should have sought them out earlier instead of waiting for them to find her after so many years!
Old Mrs. White embraced Violeta tightly, tears streaming down both faces.
Before long, the screeching sound of brakes outside caught their attention, and a couple hurriedly rushed in through the front
gates.
