CHAPTER 21

Chapter 21 Ghostly Pale

Tired?

Heaven knows how hard Violeta had to work in her previous life to secure minor roles that did not even get to be listed in the credits.

Initially, she had a decent chance, being a graduate from a reputable university. However, after several years in the entertainment industry, she was suppressed by Zelena’s malicious actions.

It was so bad that Violeta could not land a script for half a year. What came her way were only peripheral roles or physically demanding action films.

Not many young actors are willing to do action films. Just think about it who would choose a less lucrative and more demanding action film over an easygoing romantic comedy where one could rely on good looks alone?

Unfortunately. Violeta had no choice. She needed work to gain exposure, which would allow her to land. better roles. Therefore, Violeta desperately accepted roles in action films and worked hard to learn various combat skills.

She started as an extra before eventually landing a few supporting roles. Unfortunately, just as her career was taking off, Zelena discovered her.

Suddenly. Violeta could not secure any roles, no matter how minor. She could not even replace work as an

cxira.

She had only one option left, and it was to work as a stunt double. Being a stunt double was dangerous. After all, a stunt double had to carry out any stunts the lead actors did not dare to attempt.

Violeta was only in her twenties but had to endure such strenuous work for three years. Before she even reached thirty, her body had deteriorated to that of a sixty–year–old. She had numerous injuries and suffered varying degrees of harm all over her body.

There were times when she had to grit her teeth and continue working even though she had a fracture.

She was stuck in such high–pressure work, unable to see a way out. All she could do was keep moving forward. She had enough of living such a life.

Now that she could start over, why would she replace her present training difficult? How could it compare to what she had suffered in her past life? These people did not know what real suffering was!

Violeta didn’t answer the person’s questions but quickened her pace and continued moving forward.

Her present body had yet to attain the strength of her previous one. Thus, she would strive to catch up. She was determined to progress faster by utilizing what she experienced in her past life.

Violeta had endured a lot of hardship but was not afraid of it. Instead, what she feared was to bear all the suffering and never receive the corresponding rewards.

It was lunch break. Zelena flaunted the mosquito repellent she stole from Violeta to a group of girls. She deliberately mentioned that Nolan had given it to her, eliciting their envy.

Chapter 21 Ghostly Pale

“Zelena, you’re amazing! You’re such good friends with the student council president.”

“That’s right. Did you see Nolan earlier? He’s so handsome!”

“Indeed, Nolan is handsome. Zelena, do you think he gave you this because he likes you?”

Zelena’s heart fluttered. She covered her face shyly, saying, “Oh my, what are you saying? No way! He’s probably concerned for me because we are schoolmates! Besides, he’s friendly to everyone! Please don’t spread rumors. It would be embarrassing!”

“Hahaha, everyone, look, Zelena is embarrassed!”

Violeta sat nearby, drinking water, and heard their laughter from afar. Seeing them laughing so happily, how could she resist exposing some juicy information?

She promptly posted an anonymous exposé on the university forum. ‘Breaking News! Zelena Blake Mysteriously Exempted from Military Training, Receiving Special Treatment above Her Classmates!”

The post immediately garnered a lot of attention.

Toland University was famous for its strict military training and paid close attention to the training of new students every year. However, Zelena had the ‘privilege‘ of obtaining exemption from military training. It was a privilege unavailable to the majority of the new students. Therefore, most people would be furious when they see this news.

People criticized heavily against Zelena on the forum. It only took an afternoon for the post to become one of the top five trending posts.

After posting, Violeta continued with training as usual.

The situation only comes to a head in the evening.

After everyone finished washing up and returned to their tents to rest, someone took out their phone to browse the forum.

“Oh my! Look at this! Zelena has been exposed on the forum!”

“What? Really?”

“Yes, everyone, look at this. No wonder Zelena always looks so glamorous. Turns out she’s receiving special.

treatment!

“That’s too much. We’re tired and achy all the time. Why does she get special treatment?”

“It’s probably because of her influential parents! She must have used their connections to secure an exemption!”

The camp was filled with the buzzing of indignant voices.

The following day, Zelena greeted everyone on the team, but most girls were unwilling to acknowledge:

her.

Still, it did not bother her. After all, her goal was to gain attention among the guys. However, she did not expect many guys to be willing to interact with her..

Chapter 21 Ghostly Pale

What’s going on?

Zelena approached Kaylee, who was close to her before, to replace out what had happened.

Kaylee said sarcastically, “Why would we dare to get close to you? You get special treatment!”

“What? What do you mean?” Zelena was stunned.

Kaylee covered the rashes on her face with a thick layer of foundation while saying. “Go check the forum! Someone has exposed you. You’ve incurred the displeasure of our entire class, being the only one receiving special treatment!“.

“Also, is something wrong with the sunscreen you gave me previously? Why do I develop allergic reactions. after using it?”

Zelena’s eyes flickered with surprise. She nearly burst out laughing when she saw the severe rashes on Kaylee’s face, which even makeup failed to hide.

“How is that possible? I also used the sunscreen I gave you and had no allergic reactions. Maybe you are allergic to something else you used. I’m leaving now. You should check your things.”

After leaving Kaylee, Zelena immediately took out her phone to check the forum. Her face twisted with anger when she saw the trending post.

No wonder people are unwilling to talk to me today. Someone must be scheming behind my back! But who could it be?

It must be Violeta! That b*tch! No one else would dare to go against me!

Many students were unhappy with the intense military training. Thus, knowing that Zelena received special treatment provoked their anger.

Zelena never expected to be exposed on the forum. Since it had happened, she had to do something to restore her reputation and win back the support of her classmates.

After staying away for a day, Zelena joined the military training lineup the following day, looking ghostly pale and on the verge of collapsing. She had used makeup to make herself appear ill and worn.

As expected, the instructor noticed Zelena and called her out before the morning exercise began. “Zelena, why are you here? Step out of the team.”

Tears immediately welled up in Zelena’s eyes. She replied stubbornly, “Sir, I want to train with everyone.” She started coughing profusely. “Please don’t mind me.”

Violeta calmly observed Zelena’s dramatic display from the back row. She had anticipated this and had no intention of letting Zelena off so easily this time.

The instructor continued, “Zelena, you should leave the training if you’re unwell. Didn’t you submit a medical leave report beforehand?”

“Medical leave report? Someone in the formation whispered in confusion.

Seizing the opportunity, Zeloha added urgently, ‘Sir, I did submit a medical leave report, but it’s okay. My epilepsy isn’t severe, and I can endure it. My classmates are already unhappy with me, and I can’t afford to slack off further. Please allow me to continue with the training! I can’t avoid training just because I’m worried that intense training might trigger my epilepsy.”
