Her face was red as a tomato. She had planned to shine at this freshman orientation Unexpectedly, she ended up making a fool of herself.

The commotion was even noticed by a few people chatting and laughing in the front row. Violeta turned and witnessed the scene of Zelena’s humiliation. A hint of satisfaction

flickered in her eyes.

She had also experienced such humiliation in her previous life. Now, it was Zelena’s turn to have a taste.

Zelena’s clothes did not tear by coincidence. Violeta had a hand in it. When Zelena insisted on searching her body at the auditorium entrance earlier, Violeta concealed a small blade between her fingers. When Zelena wasn’t paying attention, she quietly cut the seams on the back of her clothes.

As they were in public, Violeta was careful not to cut too deep. Therefore, Zelena’s clothes would not have torn if she had behaved and did not cause trouble

Violeta was betting on Zelena’s inability to stay still. As expected, Zelena moved too much during her attempt to seduce Nolan, causing the back of her clothes to tear.

In other words, Zelena only had herself to blame..

Zelena desperately held on to her clothes to keep them from falling off. Nolan initially did not want to take off his jacket, but seeing the situation, he had to do something as a gentleman. Thus, he had no choice but to remove his jacket to cover Zelena.

Zelena was utterly embarrassed. She hastily thanked Nolan and hurried out of th auditorium. She could not bear to stay a second longer.

Once Zelena left, Violeta looked away and coincidentally met Hayden’s eyes. The two locked eyes for a moment. Violeta had no idea how long he had been looking at her.

This is weird. Why is he always looking at me?

However, Violeta did not dwell on it. Instead, she took a small photo from her pocket and handed it to Mr. Lowe.

“Mr. Lowe, is the little girl in this photo your daughter? I found it at the auditorium entrance.”

Mr. Lowe was stunned to see the photo in Violeta’s hand. He immediately pulled his wallet from his pocket and opened it. Indeed, the picture was missing. He did not even notice. when it had fallen off.

“Oh my, thank goodness you found it. Thank you so much, Violeta. I would never have gotten it back if you didn’t find it.”

Mr. Lowe was extremely grateful and relieved to get the photo back. He continued, “The girl In this photo is my daughter. It was taken in her first year of elementary school when she was six. She’s now twelve and is living overseas with her mother. This is the only childhood photo I have of her. Thank you so much for returning it to me. But how did you know it’s mine?”

Violeta smiled. “I saw pictures of your daughter on your Facebook page. When I found this ID photo, I thought it looked very similar, so I asked you. I didn’t expect to get it right”

Mr. Lowe thought momentarily and nodded, “True, I posted her photos on my Facebook page. before this Haha, Violeta, I didn’t expect you to follow me on Facebook.”

Violeta took the opportunity to compliment him, saying, “I love the movies you directed, Mr. Lowe. That’s why I followed you on Facebook. It’s my fream to collaborate with you once I graduate

“Hahaha, don’t worry. There will be opportunities for collaboration. You’re a promising talent. I won’t miss out on that” Mr. Lowe laughed heartily. Violeta had left a favorable impression

on him.

Having successfully returned the photo to Mr. Lowe, Violeta finally calmed down.

The freshman orientation soon ended, and everyone left the auditorium. Military training was set to begin in three days.

Hayden and the other three followed Violeta as she led them out of the auditorium. Violeta walked in the middle, with the two men on either side. The scene resembled bodyguards protecting a delicate princess.

Violeta sighed. “Don’t you guys have anything else to do? Stop following me.

Zoren responded, “Since we don’t have anything else after this, why don’t we go home? Vio, want me to send you home?”

Jasper suggested, “We still have plenty of time in the afternoon. Instead of wasting it at home, how about we go out and have some fun?”

Liam nodded. “We used to hang out at Carom Club last month. What do you think? Want to play some billiards?

Zoren turned to Hayden. “Hade, what about you? Are you going?”

But Hayden asked Violeta her opinion, “What do you think?”

Violeta hesitated for a moment.

Carom Club?

If she remembered correctly, it was the most prestigious entertainment venue in Quinston, exclusive to members. Ordinary people could not enter. The fact that they had monthly memberships indicated their wealth and status.
