Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Nessie added, "There are also the rumors about you wearing fake clothes."

Violeta sighed. "These clothes were bought by my mom. I don't know what's going on with the logo. I'll ask her about it tonight and then figure out what to do."

Nessie agreed, "That sounds good. Get the facts straight first, then shut those people up. If you need to post a clarification, I can pin it for you."

Nessie was one of the school forum administrators, so she could genuinely help Violeta with this.

Violeta asked Jasper to clear up their relationship. Jasper got a few people to spread the word, warning the person who started the rumors to delete their posts or face consequences at school. He also clarified that he and Violeta were just friends.

Once this spread, the comments accusing Violeta of being a gold digger quickly disappeared from the forum.

In the evening, while having dinner at home, Violeta asked Irene about the logo on her clothes.

"Mom, why is the logo on my clothes different from the other Jour 24 clothes?"

Irene smiled gently. "Why? Don't you like it?"

Violeta replied, "It's not that. It's just that the logo on my clothes is different from others, and people at school are saying they're fake."

Hearing this, Irene's expression changed instantly.

"What!?"

"Fake? They must be crazy! The logo on your clothes was designed by me. It's unique and obviously different from mass-produced items. Besides, I spent a lot of money for exclusivity. Otherwise, I'd be the fool."

Noticing Irene's reaction, Anton asked, "Irene, what's going on?"

Irene put down her spoon. "The logo on Violeta's clothes was designed by me. I need to spend over a million at Jour 24 to get this service!"

Jour 24's regular clothes don't cost much-at most a few thousand dollars.

A logo costing a million dollars and Irene ordering so many clothes for Violeta meant a substantial expenditure.

Irene's hefty spending earned her this exclusive service, naturally setting Violeta's clothes apart from the regular ones. Otherwise, what would be the point?

"Those ignorant people claiming Vio's clothes are fake-they don't know what they're talking about! It's infuriating!" Irene said, exasperated.

"They're clueless. Spreading such rumors is ridiculous! This customized logo service is something only about thirty people in the entire country have."

Anton chimed in, "Alright, alright. There's no need to be upset. Probably, many people don't know that Jour 24 offers this service. After dinner, I'll call their marketing team and have them make an official announcement online. That should clear up the rumors."

Irene agreed, "Yes, they must announce it. Vio shouldn't have to endure this nonsense."

Violeta finally understood the situation.

The unique logo was a special perk.

She had been wearing the clothes without knowing the significance of the logo.

...

The next day, Jour 24's official Weibo account posted an announcement.

It detailed the brand's various spending levels and corresponding membership benefits.

The post explicitly stated that spending over a million dollars entitled customers to a custom logo service.

They even showcased Irene's floral logo design prominently on the first page, along with many other designs.

In total, there were about thirty-two unique logos, and the company promised to update the membership archive on their website regularly.

This meant that only thirty-two people nationwide currently enjoyed this exclusive service.

The announcement from Jour 24 immediately silenced those on the forum who had been anonymously accusing Violeta of wearing fake clothes.

It was a direct blow to their baseless gossip.

Now, anyone still claiming Violeta's clothes were fake would be blatantly ignorant.

But this was quite a turnaround ...

Just the day before, people had started gossiping about Violeta wearing counterfeit Jour 24, and the very next day, Jour 24's official account posted an announcement that effectively cleared up the rumors about the fake logos.

Was this just a coincidence?

It seemed too perfectly timed, directly turning the tables in Violeta's favor.

When Violeta arrived at school in the morning, many eyes turned her way.

So, Violeta was actually a hidden rich kid!

Her family must be extremely wealthy, though no one knew which family she belonged to.

Previously, Zelena and her friends had sought confirmation through resellers, and it turned out the reseller was right-Violeta's logo was indeed a custom order.

Jour 24's official announcement had two significant benefits.

Firstly, it cleared up the rumors about Violeta's logo.

Secondly, it informed other high-end consumers about this exclusive service.

With the official confirmation, the custom logo service saw an immediate surge in interest that month. Although Zelena and Hattie didn't say anything openly, they secretly went on a spending spree to get their own custom logos.
