Chapter 176 Congratulations on Your Debut

To ease the pressure on her family, Shirley left senior year early.

She moved to Quinston to avoid running into Zelena again and had no intention of returning to Arlowand.

Little did she know, her life's turning point led to tragedy, while Zelena's path led to success.

In the second half of senior year, Zelena left her old life behind and becthe heiress of the Blake family in

Arlowand.

"Do you know where Zelena Cooke is?" Violeta asked.

Shirley shook her head. "I'm not sure. Isn't she in Arlowand?"

"No, she's in Quinston, and she's studying at Toland University," Violeta said.

"What!?"

With her low grades, how did she get into Toland University?

"Because she's now the heiress of the Blake family. Her last nisn't Cooke anymore; it's Blake now," Violeta

explained.

Shirley's eyes widened. "The heiress of the Blake family?"

"Yes."

Based on what happened in the previous life, Shirley only found out that Zelena Blake was Zelena Cooke, who

bullied her in high school, a few years later.

Now, Violeta moved the timeline up to the present.

Shirley was furious knowing how well Zelena was doing.

Originally, Violeta wanted Shirley to cforward and expose Zelena's past. But seeing Shirley's current

condition, she hesitated.

This would be reopening a wound.

But unexpectedly, Shirley bravely said, "I'll do it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Shirley nodded. "I've always been angry about this. Even if justice seems unlikely, | don't want someone

like her to beca superstar."

Violeta knew Shirley's action might not stop Zelena's success and her road to fame.

However, her coming forward would tarnish Zelena's reputation. Even if she managed to debut, everyone would

know that she was a bully and had caused her schoolmate to lose her hearing. This stain would follow Zelena

forever, no matter her accomplishments.

The more famous Zelena got, the more people would find out about this.

Zelena didn't have enough influence to control the news, so this was the best tto reveal it.

If Shirley waited a few more years, she'd face the sonline attacks and legal threats from Zelena's lawyers as

in her past life.

"lI want to do my part against school violence," Shirley said.

"Okay." Violeta agreed.

"Thank you."

"No, | should be thanking you."

After talking with Shirley, Violeta left the nursing hwith George.

Shirley spent the next two weeks preparing evidence from that time.

The day before school started, with Violeta's help, Shirley gathered all the evidence, including medical reports

and class photos.

The day before school started, Toland University delivered the new season's uniforms.

Violeta took Tuna to the park as usual.

Tuna had grown bigger; he looked magnificent as he strolled around.

At the park, they met Cutie, who ran towards them after picking up their scent.

Violeta was drinking water while resting on a bench when she saw Cutie running over.

Seeing Cutie, Violeta knew Nolan was nearby.

As she expected, Nolan appeared at a corner with a leash as he strolled over.

During the two-month summer break, Nolan went to film a movie called 'Night On the River'. School was

reopening, so Violeta figured he was done shooting. He walked over slowly in a set of black casual outfit.

"I was wondering why Cutie was running in this direction; turns out it's you guys," Nolan said as he approached.

Relaxing on the bench, Violeta quietly noticed Nolan's longer hair, probably for the movie, and his slightly darker

skin tone.

"Finished filming?" she asked.

"Yeah, wrapped up four days ago," Nolan replied.

"Congratulations on your debut," Violeta said, seeing him merge with the movie star she knew from her past life.

She was congratulating him on starting an amazing career in the entertainment industry that would earn him

three Best Actor awards down the line.

Though Nolan had debuted, the show still needed editing and approval, which could take months, so he would

continue attending Toland University for now.
