Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 230 It's New

This bag...

If she wasn't mistaken, wasn't this the bag that's often called the most expensive member's handbag by O'Hara fans online?

Hattie quickly grabbed the bag and examined it closely.

Violeta slowly walked up and stood in front of Zelena. She held one sleeve of the coat and said, "This isn't gray. Strictly speaking, it's crystal silver. The camellia on it is O'Hara's most classic element. This coat, just like your previous little O'Hara-style pieces, is a new release for this year."

As soon as Violeta finished her words, Candy and Gillian couldn't wait to chime in.

"This is a new model this year? You must be joking. This coat doesn't look new at all."

"Exactly, the style and elements of this coat are outdated. It doesn't seem like a new model but more like an old one from a few years ago. If it's old, just admit it. Why insist it's new?"

Zelena put down the coat and said, "Vio, when I bought clothes before, I specifically checked at the boutique. They didn't have this coat at all, so stop lying. If it's a new model, why isn't it in the store?" Sitting nearby, Hattie looked closely and saw that the bag really did reflect the logo in the sunlight, proving it was genuine.

When this bag first came out, it was mocked online as the "ugly bag." People said it looked plain and boring, and they couldn't believe such an ordinary bag came with such a high price. They thought it was really low-quality.

But later, when someone took the bag into the sunlight, they realized it had a logo that could only be seen under direct light.

After that, the bag slowly became a popular item among fashion influencers online.

Violeta actually has this bag?

Could she be a top-tier O'Hara member?

Hattie was very surprised. She quickly reached for the coat to take a closer look. As she opened it up, she immediately recognized it as the same style worn by the Wiltonshire princess!

The camellia pattern on the collar was a signature of the latest collection.

O'Hara's camellia series was a classic. It was timeless because it never got boring and added elegance and style when worn.

The current trendy styles might become rags in a few years, but classic pieces remained timeless, even after five years.

This coat was very popular online, but it hadn't gained much attention domestically because this series wasn't released in the local market.

How did Violeta manage to get this coat? I didn't realize her taste was so refined.

Hattie put the coat on the table and said, "This coat is O'Hara's latest collection."

Candy was taken aback. "What?"

Gillian was in disbelief. "No way."

Zelena turned to Hattie, "You know this coat?"

Hattie replied, "Yeah, it's definitely new. Keep it."

Zelena still wasn't quite convinced. "Hattie, are you sure about this? Is it really a new collection?"

Hattie felt she was being questioned, and she disliked being doubted. So she responded with some frustration, "If you can't recognize it, does that mean I can't either? This coat is not only new but also worn by a princess. Why don't you check the news if you don't believe me?"

Hattie looked away. "You can't buy this coat in Hoiten. It's not available here, but it's quite popular online. It's harder to get than your little O'Hara-style pieces."

News?

Zelena's expression stiffened.

Even if it wasn't popular, just hearing it was worn by a princess tells you how prestigious it was, right?

Violeta looked at Hattie, grateful that she was there among this group of people. Otherwise, she would have had to personally educate Zelena today.

Zelena might have money now, but her elegance hadn't caught up yet.

"Zelena, even if you don't understand this coat, the 'socialites' you meet at birthday parties will definitely know about it."

With that said, Violeta turned and left.

Zelena felt mocked and was quite resentful. As Violeta walked away, she sarcastically said, "Thanks a lot. You can't make it to the birthday party, so you've generously sent me this dress. Don't worry. I'll make sure to live up to your kindness!"

She continued to subtly taunt Violeta about missing out on the birthday party.

Violeta chuckled lightly. "Then I wish you all the best to shine brightly."

Right after they finished talking, two figures appeared at the classroom door. The counselor turned and saw Lucy, asking, "Lucy, why are you here?"

After thinking it over for a few days, Lucy finally decided to come and invite Violeta herself.

Well, she hadn't exactly figured it all out. She just didn't have any other options left.

She wasn't keen on coming over to invite Violeta herself, but she was afraid Violeta might not agree if someone else did it.

By coming in person, she figured she'd have a better shot.

She'd planned to drop by right after class, but to her surprise, their class counselor was still around.

Lucy stood at the doorway, her expression slightly frozen. "Class isn't over yet?"

The counselor replied, "Oh, it is. Are you here to replace someone?"
