Chapter 8
Violeta’s reputation had caused quite a commotion among her classmates within a few minutes. Zelena had successfully led
everyone to believe that Violeta was her wicked sister who had supposedly stolen eighteen years of Zelena’s comfortable life.
And to make matters worse, Violeta was ungrateful enough to speak to Zelena viciously. Everyone believed that Violeta was a
vicious woman! As Violeta followed the counselor, he addressed Violeta politely, “Ms. White, your mother is a renowned opera
singer who graduated from our school. It’s an honor for us that you chose to study in Toland University’s performing arts
department!” “The honor is mine. Coming to Toland University to study has always been my dream, and it has nothing to do with
my mom.” “If you need any assistance, feel free to come to me.” After saying this, the counselor shook his head. “What am I
saying? Your father is a member of our school’s board of directors, so there’s not much I can do to help.” “I’m here to study as an
ordinary student. Sir, please don’t give me special treatment. It would be strange.” The counselor was taken aback. Students
from affluent families usually went out of their way to inform the school on their first day, but not Violeta. The counselor had
unintentionally checked Violeta’s personal information and discovered that her mother was the famous opera singer Irene
Persley. Her father was Anton White, a prominent figure in Quinston’s business world. With such a family background, Violeta
could easily walk around the school with her head held high if she wanted to! However, Violeta unexpectedly wished to keep a
low profile, unlike the Blake family’s daughter from Arlowand, who arrived today and eagerly flaunted her family’s wealth. Upon
hearing this, the counselor’s impression of the two changed drastically. He suddenly developed a great liking for Violeta. “Alright,
I won’t disturb you any longer. I can have a student show you around the school if you need anything.” At that moment, several
tall, lanky sophomore boys from the performing arts department approached them in the corridor. When the counselor saw them,
he called out, “Nolan, come here.” Nolan! Upon hearing this name, Violeta froze. She slowly turned and saw the handsome
young man walking towards them. It’s him. It’s really him. Nolan Spencer was the person Violeta liked in her previous life, but he
ended up with Zelena. Nolan was the prestigious Spencer family’s eldest son. He rose to fame instantly after debuting, winning
numerous awards for his first film. He became a famous actor in the entertainment industry. The following year, Zelena debuted
and starred alongside him in her first drama, creating a huge fan base for their on-screen couple. Later on, fans discovered that
their on-screen chemistry was genuine! Zelena had accidentally posted a photo of her and Nolan in bed on Facebook, exposing
their relationship. Hence, Nolan bravely admitted their relationship and made it official. She had secretly admired him for many
years since their first encounter at the freshman orientation on campus, where she had fallen for him at first sight. As she
struggled in the entertainment industry later on, she always hoped to work with Nolan. She would have been satisfied even if it
was just a minor role. In fact, she actually had the opportunity to work with him in her first drama after graduation. Unfortunately,
Zelena had taken that role away from her... Violeta had never confided in anyone about her feelings for Nolan, but Zelena
seemed to know everything. She had schemed to get close to Nolan and quickly won him over, eventually becoming his
girlfriend. In her previous life, Violeta couldn’t understand why. But now, she knew that Zelena was actually someone who had
been reborn. That was why Zelena took the opportunity to get close to Nolan. The memories of her previous life flashed through
her mind fleetingly. Nolan was Violeta’s first crush, and she used to regret her inaction regarding Nolan. Strangely enough, her
heart didn’t stir when she saw Nolan this time. Perhaps it was because they were meeting in a different place, or maybe she had
a different state of mind in this life. Violeta slowly averted her gaze. Nolan walked up to the counselor. “Mr. Ecton.” The counselor
glanced at Violeta and introduced her. “Violeta, this is your senior, Nolan Spencer. He’s also from the performing arts
department. Since we bumped into him, I’ll have him show you around campus.” Nolan looked down at Violeta. His gaze first fell
on her fair neck before he took in her delicate profile. “Hello.” Violeta ignored Nolan and spoke to the counselor. “It’s alright. I can
explore on my own. No need to trouble him. I’ll be leaving.” After that, Violeta turned to leave without hesitation. She didn’t
acknowledge Nolan or spare a glance at him. But Nolan’s gaze followed Violeta until she turned the corner and disappeared from
sight. “Mr. Ecton, is she in your class?” Nolan was the student council president and had a good relationship with the lecturers
and counselors due to his regular interactions with them. “Yes, she’s a new student from quite an influential background.” Nolan
was intrigued by the girl when he heard what the counselor said about her. This new student is fascinating. He began to look
forward to the freshman orientation in the afternoon. As she exited the building, Violeta hadn’t even caught her breath when she
spotted a familiar figure again. Before her, four figures were approaching. Hayden was nonchalantly walking over with three men.
Zoren was on his left, and on his right were two prominent figures in school, Jasper Weekley and Liam Ridge. Zoren wore a
casual brown baseball jacket and chattered incessantly. “Hade, what does my cousin really look like? You didn’t actually leave
her behind, did you? Oh no. How am I going to explain this to my old man tonight?! What was I thinking? I shouldn’t have asked
you to pick her up. It’s my fault, it’s all my fault...” Liam chimed in, “She’s definitely been left behind. Zero, you’re such a fool.
How could you ask Hade to pick her up? Did you guys make some fishy deal?” This hit a nerve with Zoren. He acted strangely
as he tried to conceal what had happened. “Lee, what do you mean by that? Am I someone who would do such a thing?
However, if Hade wants something like that, I’ll put up with it...” “That’s enough.” Hayden glanced at Zoren coldly. There was no
fishy deal between the two. Zoren had simply begged Hayden until he relented. The four of them continued their banter as they
walked. Hayden saw Violeta on the other end, and his gaze was fixed on her. As they approached, Zoren and the other two were
awestruck as they noticed Violeta. Wow! The new female students this year are impressive! She’s gorgeous! “Hade, should we
wait for her here? Perhaps we arrived too early, and Zero’s cousin hasn’t come down yet! Should we look for her at the lecture
hall?” “She’s right in front of you.” The three men were utterly taken aback! What?! They only saw the angelic girl standing before
them as they looked around. Isn’t Zoren’s cousin ugly? D*mn! Is she really Zoren’s cousin?
