Chapter 44 It's Over, The White Family Has Produced Someone Even More Pretentious

Gian had a sudden realization and made a conjecture.

"Oh my god! Zoren's last name is White, and Violeta's last name is also White. Do you think Violeta could be a member of the White family? Could she be Zoren's sister or younger sister?" Gillian was adept at making connections.

After she said this, Zelena and Candy fell silent.

The White family was one of the most prominent families in Quinston. They were not an ordinary family.

If Violeta was truly a member of the White family...

The White family was on an entirely different level compared to the Blake family!

No, no, it's impossible!

Zelena quickly shook her head and said, "How could that be? She is not a member of the White family. She probably just shares the same last name!"

Zelena had previously investigated Violeta's original family and found information that indicated Violeta's parents were impoverished villagers!

Her father was a gambler who had lost everything, and her mother was a notorious troublemaker known throughout the village. She had a brother who had remained single all his life. With such a family background, how could she be a part of the White family?

Furthermore, if Gillian was correct and Violeta was a member of the White family, does it mean that Zoren was Violeta's brother?

That was even more impossible. Everyone knew that Zoren was the only son in the family. They had no daughter.

Zelena firmly stated, "If Violeta's original family was truly that prestigious, my parents wouldn't have let her leave home without any concerns."

Candy nodded and agreed, "That's right, and Zoren is the only child in his

kept reassung herself, refusing to believe that Violeta was a member White family

Blake

They were absolutely certain their conjecture was correct, but when the truth was revealed, they would be in for a shock.

Zoren's family could only be considered a branch of the White family, and Violeta was definitely not Zoren's sister.

Because Violeta and Zoren were only cousins. Violeta's status would be much higher than Zoren's as a branch member. She was the true daughter of the head of the White family.

At the weekend gathering at the Heaven Hotel.

When Violeta and Kaylee arrived at the hotel, the lobby was already crowded with people.

Kaylee was a bit anxious, holding onto Violeta's arm. "Violeta, I'm getting nervous."

Violeta calmly surveyed the lobby, not seeing Zoren and the others. A waiter approached, and Violeta took two glasses of champagne from the tray and handed one to Kaylee. "Don't worry, you look beautiful today."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Previoush Kavine had a rash on her face, but it had significantly improved After applying ointment according to Violeta's suggestion. There were still some trint marks on her face, but with makeup, they were completely

noticeable

Although Kaylee was not as stunning as Violeta, she had a delicate and refined appearance, and with some grooming, she could resemble a Joustonian beauty.

With such praise from Violeta, Kaylee immediately gained confidence.

The two of them sat down beside each other, with Violeta reclining on the sofa and taking out her phone to message someone.

Not far away, Henry and his friends stood together. They noticed Violeta and Kaylee, their eyes scanning them up and down, and they began to whisper and occasionally burst into laughter, in a rather crude

manner.

Even though Violeta was engrossed in her phone, she could still feel their lascivious stares.

Kaylee, wearing a skirt, felt uncomfortable and constantly checked to see if she was exposed. The intense stares from the boys were suffocating.

"Violeta, they are so annoying."

Violeta put away her phone and said, "They're like roaches. You see one, and there's always a whole swarm nearby."

"Let's go upstairs."

Kaylee asked, "Upstairs?"

"Yes, they're playing pool on the second floor."

The two of them climbed the stairs, and the boys' gazes followed them until they disappeared around the corner.

The second floor was much quieter.

Zoren approached with a plate of macarons, and Violeta reached out to take a bite. "You guys are hiding on the second floor, but it's more lively downstairs." Jasper leaned against the table. "You want us to become the center of attention as soon as we show up? I don't like always being in the spotlight.

exhausting!

Violeta was taken aback "I didn't ask for a session of humblebragging."

But remembering the stares from those boys earlier, Violeta added, "It really is exhausting, and it even feels suffocating."

Kaylee nodded. "Yes, those guys downstairs just love to stare. It's

unbelievable."

Not far away, Hayden was pouring drinks, his posture relaxed, with his sleeves rolled up. Upon hearing this, he slightly tilted his head and asked, "Who's bothering you guys?"

"It's those guys from Henry's group. When we participated in the preliminary round, Henry wasn't very friendly to us!"

Liam asked, "Oh? How so?"

Kaylee quickly complained, "At that time, we were paired with two boys as opponents! We found it strange and went to ask him about it. Henry said that we could play or we could give up, and called us overly sensitive. He said the tennis club doesn't cater to us."

"Hmm," Zoren whistled, "Interesting, Jas, it seems like this Henry is your guy?"

There was something about the tennis club.

The club was divided into two factions, one led by Jasper and the other by Nolan.

When there were no issues, both factions got along well, but when problems arose, the differences became apparent.

Henry was on Jasper's side.

Jasper pondered for a moment and asked, "Vio, did he insult you guys?"

Violeta nibbled on a macaron and replied, "A little bit."

Jasper said, "It's okay, I'll help you get revenge when the opportunity arises."

Violeta smiled and said, "Thanks."

Zoren twirled his racket in his hand and said, "I told you I could get you in through my connections, Vio, but you didn't want to. Now you know how

tough it is. There's no one in the tennis club who will go easy on you.

To join the tennis club, one must either have talent or connections.

Those with talent were usually rebellious.

Those with connections were even more arrogant.

If it weren't for Hayden and a few others keeping them in check, things would have turned chaotic long ago.

Additionally, the tennis club was very popular at Toland University, so even though there were few girls in the club, the members of the tennis club had a natural charm that attracted girls at school. Someone like Henry, who held a position in the club, was even more popular at school.

Violeta raised an eyebrow and said, "Losing to a strong opponent is not embarrassing. Unfortunately, I am the strong one. Hahaha..."

Zoren replied, "Vio, you're stubborn."

Jasper added, "Not only stubborn, but also sharp-tongued."

Liam chimed in, "Not only sharp-tongued, but also likes to show off."

Hayden summed it up, "The queen of showing off."

Violeta glared at them, pointing all ten fingers at them. "Jealousy, it's blatant jealousy."

Sitting next to them, Kaylee burst into laughter.

Zoren shook his head.

There you have it, the White family has produced someone who loves showing off even more than I do.
