Ms. Selcebed the stairs and noticed Violeta standing before a painting She approached respectfully and asked, “Ms. Violeta, would you like something to drink?

Violeta replied. “Zoren and the others will be aming later Lets prepare some cold beverages first”

“Very well will prepare them now”

As Violeta descended the stairs, she noticed Tuna struggling to climb them. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She stood at a higher vantage point, observing the little creature

Violetas shadow loomed over Tuna’s small body. It raised its head and looked up at her with its round eyes

“Art

Violete approached and lifted Tuna by the nape of its neck

“You little one with short legs. You still cant climb properly Give it another half a month

“Art!

Shortly after, Hayden and the others arrived

The four of them entered the apartment Violeta held Tuna on the sofa, biting her head to look at them

“You’re here Refreshments await Come and have a seat

Zoten surveyed the decorations and exclaimed, “The more I look at this apartment, the more

like it had known earlier, I would have bought a unit with Hade

Jasper retorted. Come on Did you even have the money to buy it back then?”

Violeta placed Tuna on the carpet and turned to ask, “Does Hayden also live in Liberty Grove?

Liam walked over to the window, gesturing toward the glass house bathed in sunlight across the street He said, “Hmm, Hade’s place is right across from you

Huh?

Chapter 33 Hayden Was Bour With Privilege

Violeta was stunned and stood up to walk to the window to look across.

“Hade’s place is on the top floor of Building Six, and you are in Building Five, directly facing. each other. It’s quite a coincidence.”

Liberty Grove had a total of seven buildings, each with a top–floor apartment. Before the opening, the rooftop garden gimmick was heavily promoted.

One spot was sold at an exorbitant price, but it turned out that all the top–floor spots were pre– booked internally before the opening, with no chance of being available on the open market.

“What a small world.”

Violeta glanced at Hayden and unexpectedly met his gaze.

Hayden looked at her with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. Violeta’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked away.

Sitting on the sofa, Ms. Silverleaf brought cold drinks and some snacks.

After a short while, Zoren suggested, “Let’s go to Hade’s place. Vio, there’s nothing

interesting here. We can’t just sit here and be bored.”

Jasper nodded. “Indeed. Vio’s decoration is too focused on aesthetics. There’s nothing fun, not even a projection screen to play games.”

Violeta picked up Tuna and readily agreed.

“Sure, let’s go. I also want to see his place.”

They all stood up and left.

Meanwhile, in Zelena’s apartment downstairs, they were discussing Violeta.

“Do you think the top floor really belongs to Violeta?”

‘It’s impossible! How could Violeta afford it? it’s probably just a show–off!”

“Lena, is it the apartment that your parents bought for Violeta?”

Zelena forced a smile. “I don’t think so. My parents didn’t plan to buy a house in Quinston. We already have plenty in Arlowand, so there’s no need to acquire more properties.”

“Yeah, Lena, the biological daughter, doesn’t even have one, so how could Violeta, who isn’t even related by blood, have one? She must be pretending!”

“Let’s not worry about her, Lena. Let’s go downstairs and get some food. There’s hardly anything to eat at your place.”

Zelena nodded and said, “Sure.”

The group gathered near the elevator, but to their surprise, it had just descended from

upstairs.

Violeta, Hayden, and the others were inside as the elevate doors slowly opened.

Violeta glanced at them with indifference, unaffected by their presence.

Meanwhile, Zelena and the others were completely shocked.

The doors closed automatically before they could enter the elevator, not sensing their presence

Once the elevator doors closed, Zelena and the others erupted in disbelief.

“Oh my god! Why is Violeta with Hayden and the others!”

“I heard rumors at school that Violeta was dating Jasper The top–floor apartment must belong to Jasper, not Violeta!”

“It was just speculation before, but now it’s confirmed!”

Jasper is known for changing girlfriends frequently. He must have been playing with Violeta! She has such low standards!”

“I used to think it was all gossip, but I didn’t expect it to be true. It’s disgusting. I have no respect for women who willingly degrade themselves like this.”

A malicious plan crossed Zelena’s mind, and she said, “Please, don’t say anything. If people find out that she went home with those men, her reputation will be ruined!”

“Ah, I thought she had changed, but I didn’t expect her to be like this when she came to Quinston. Back in Arlowand, Dad and Mom repeatedly warned her to change her flirtatious nature. She not only ignored the advice but also became even more excessive after coming here…

Zelena looked worried.

The three people next to her were shocked to hear her words.

Each of them had a shocked expression.

Wow, who would have known that Violeta was such a socialite?

Violeta followed Hayden to his apartment.

The interior of Hayden’s apartment had a high–tech style, with the entire house being automated.

You just had to ask for whatever you wanted, and a small robot would bring it to you.

Tuna excitedly chased after the little robot.

Violeta followed them to the game room, where a large screen projected 3 5D gaming experience, showcasing the allure of high technology.

Chapter 33 Hayden Was Bom With Privilege

No wonder Zoren said Hayden’s apartment was much more fun than Violeta’s. The decoration alone in Hayden’s place probably cost millions.

But Hayden’s apartment only served as place to play. He didn’t live there.

Violeta held the game controller and asked, “So, where does Hayden usually live?”

Zoren replied, “He lives with his family. The Frost family mansion is famous in Quinston. Haven’t you heard of it, Vio?”

The Frost family mansion is the largest estate in Quinston, passed down through several generations. It was once the residence of a noble in ancient times.

The Frost family had also divided several neglected small courtyards, which became tourist attractions in Quinston.

You can imagine how prestigious the Frost family was in Quinston.

They had wealth, influence, and fame.

Hayden was born into a life of privilege!

Violeta carefully considered Zoren’s words and suddenly had a realization.

“Oh! So the Serene Residence at the scenic spot in Zenith is also owned by the Frosts?

“Yes

Violeta was stunned

In her previous life, Violeta had filmed at the Serene Residence!

The quaint little houses there had a vintage charm. Violeta was particularly fond of the small wooden cabin by the lake, which left a deep impression on her.

Zoren continued, “The Frost family didn’t want to spend money renovating those properties. After they were divided, Jasper’s family took them over and invested in renovations. It seems like they have plans to turn it into a filming location. They are still working on it.”

Upon hearing Zoren’s words, Violeta gained some additional information.

It turned out that the Serene Residence was owned by the Weekley Film and Television Group, which Jasper’s family owned!

“I see

The location of the residence is quite good, so why did the Frost family divide it?”

Zoren smiled and replied, “You’ll have to ask Hayden about that I have no idea.”
