“You!” Violet was mad from the humiliation and almost hit Lina. However, she held back as her classmates were
watching.
After all, she had been putting on the facade of a friendly and generous princess. If she really slapped her and
those ill-intentioned people uploaded the clip onto the Internet, the facade she had put so much effort into would be
completely ruined!
Her lips quivered, and she tried her best to smile.
“Get over yourself, Lina!” Violet gnashed her teeth and enunciated each word. “Don’t think you’re safe just because
you married that fool! I’ll never let you go!”
Lina glanced at her and continued reading as if nothing happened.
Gia went to sit next to Lina and held her hand softly.
Zuko stood at the door, having witnessed everything. Frowning in disgust, he cast a glance of disapproval at Violet.

“Jacob, it’s me.”
The latter was surprised as Zuko hardly took the initiative to call!
“What’s up?” asked Jacob.
“How much do you know about the Grists?” asked Zuko.
Jacob was perplexed. “The Grists? Aren’t you investigating them? Why are you asking me that?”
Zuko faked a cough and fell quiet.
Jacob could feel the intense suppression on him even through the phone. He dared not joke with him, so he said
after thinking for a moment. “The family isn’t too powerful, but they have some support.”
Zuko nodded. Such occurrences were common in Centrolis. Certain families, who might not possess inherent
power, relied on connections to acquire influence and authority.
Jacob lowered his voice. “Zuko, we can’t rush things with the Grists’ scandal just yet. We don’t have enough
evidence now, so don’t make things worse!”
“Hmm, I know,” replied Zuko.
“You do?” Jacob was stunned. “Then why did you ask that when you do?”
“I’m not asking about that!”
Jacob was confused. “Then what—”
“How much do you know about Violet Grist?” asked Zuko.
Jacob was completely dumbstruck now.
However, that fitted Zuko’s personality. Nobody ever knew what he was going to do.
At that moment, Jacob could only answer honestly. “Violet creates this good, wealthy girl persona for herself, but
the people in the circle know how terrible she is.
“You’ll find out if you frequent those video applications. She has many fans. Everyone thinks that she comes from a
powerful family and is a good girl and someone to look up to, so… Ha! In reality, she’s just a piece of trash!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh?” Zuko smiled. “Since she’s a piece of trash, we should put her where she belongs!”
“What do you mean?”
Zuko sneered. “It’s time for her fans to find out how to sort trash!”
Jacob was confused again.
Before he could react, Zuko gave him a mission. “Monitor Violet for the next few days!”
“Sure…”
The prince of the Hamertons hung up right after that.
There would be whispers going on in the classroom every now and then.
Violet was upset that she had lost to Lina in the last round, so she kept pestering her about her marriage.
“Don’t be so petty, Lina! We’re classmates. Aren’t you going to buy us a meal to celebrate?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Gia could no longer hold back. “She won’t invite you even if she’s doing that!”
Violet glared at her. “You have no right to speak!”
Lina pulled Gia away and signaled her.
