Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Oh, did you see the update on the official website? Jour 24 has opened its flagship store abroad, called 'Day'. They're aiming to go international.'

Jour is the Verdanise translation for Day.

Twenty-four equals one 'Day'.

This name was straightforward. Jour 24's brand concept was very simple and easy to understand; they hoped that customers could wear their clothes twenty-four hours a day. Jour 24 not only made adult apparel but also had many children's clothing lines, as well as loungewear, and so on...

Zelena was shocked.

Jour 24 is 'Day'?

This was a huge information gap. In her memory from her past life, 'Day' was considered a national pride, a rare brand that could compete with the big international brands. Previously, Hannah was indifferent, but now it had become a brand that wasn't accessible to her.

But what was even more shocking was what appeared on the screen next.

The girl looks classy and trendy in that outfit. Can you give me her contact information? I'd like to invite her to be a model and maybe promote my clothes.'

Candy fell silent as she cursed under her breath and immediately deleted this personal shopper's contact.

"So, does that mean what Violeta is wearing is genuine?"

Hattie, in an attempt to salvage some dignity, said, "Actually, it's not surprising if Violeta wears genuine clothes. 150 thousand isn't that much, Besides, she's part of the White family." "What? What do you mean Violeta is part of the White family?" Gillian asked.

"Oh, you didn't know? Violeta is Zoren's half-sister."

Half-sister?

So, in plain terms, isn't that just an illegitimate child?

"What? Violeta is also a love child like you?" Gillian blurted out.

Hattie's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that?"

Gillian coughed, "Sorry, Hattie... I didn't mean anything else."

Hattie sneered, "Can she even compare to me? My mom is rich and famous. She only had me and my brother because she couldn't make up her mind. She was deceived. Besides, now my brother and I have been recognized by the Ridge family to enjoy equal inheritance rights!

"As for Violeta, it's clear she hasn't been recognized, and she has no inheritance rights."

Despite what she said, everyone knew that illegitimate children were the most despised in high society circles.

Moreover, if they were illegitimate, they wouldn't dare to boast about it and would instead keep as low-key as possible.

Unlike Hattie, who actually felt proud about it.

Candy asked, "So Violeta's a love child? Damn. How dare she act so arrogantly!"

Gillian sneered, "She's pretty lucky, huh? First, she lived Lena's life for eighteen years, and now she's part of another wealthy family. Even though she's a love child, she's rich."

Zelena fell silent.

Bringing this up made Zelena feel uneasy.

Violeta's really lucky. I can't believe my previous findings were wrong. Where did things go wrong? I might need to get the hacker to investigate further.

Hattie said, "Since what she's wearing isn't fake, let it go. It's just clothing. It's not a big deal. Come on, let's go to check out the club."

"Okay."

In the afternoon, the college competition was getting attention on the Toland University forum.

Hattie and Zelena signed up as well.

Their chosen teammates were all small-time leaderboard players, with one being a famous streamer.

The official website showed real-time information about the registered teams and their members.

Zelena was excited. She expected her team, Luck, to stir up discussion once the registered teams were announced on the forum.

She was confident to be the center of attention, but she was wrong.

Neither she nor Hattie were being discussed.

Instead, it was a team called "The Mighty Dragons."

Zelena clicked on the cheesy team name 'The Mighty Dragons' and saw the teammates listed below.

She froze. The team captain was Violeta from the first year of performing arts, and the other teammates were all seniors. Looking at the last names listed below, there were Frost, White, Ridge, Weekley ... It was obvious that they were Hayden and his crew!

Violeta's teammates are Hayden and his gang??

No wonder 'The Mighty Dragons' became the talk of the forum. Hayden and his friends were computer prodigies. They had never participated in any competition before. Except for Jasper taking the club to competitions, the other three never bothered.

And now Violeta convinced them to join the college competition together, which was unprecedented!

No wonder there was so much discussion on the forum. Even those who didn't play 'TY' started paying attention, making this college competition reach its peak.

And the most surprising thing was that Violeta was the team captain!
