Chapter 13 A Killing Attempt
Violeta entered the auditorium and seamlessly blended into the crowd. When no one was paying
attention, she discreetly took out a photo hidden in her sleeve.
Having anticipated that Zelena would cause trouble that day, Violeta had prepared her own photo and
concealed it in her sleeve when Zelena wasn’t looking. It would be impossible for Zelena to find it.
The auditorium was filled with freshmen. Violeta located her class’s designated area and took a seat.
Soon, Zelena entered, reluctantly taking a seat at the back. She glanced at Violeta in the front row,
discreetly rolling her eyes.
The freshman orientation began shortly after. Several deans and senior representatives took the give

stage to
Violeta scanned the room, searching for Mr. Lowe. She spotted him seated in the front row with several
department heads, seemingly unaware that the photo in his wallet was missing.
She needed a suitable opportunity to return the photo to him. Otherwise, it would be awkward or as if
she was intentionally trying to get close to him.
Violeta recalled her previous life. She suffered public humiliation when her clothes were torn. At that
time, she was only concerned about herself and did not notice how Zelena returned the photo to
Mr.Lowe and left a favorable impression on him.
The speeches ended before she could figure out how to return the photo.“Everyone is now free to mingle and get to know each other. It’s your chance to make friends who will
be with you for the next four years…”
“Clap, clap, clap…”
Applause filled the room as everyone began to socialize. Not only did students mingle, but soon, those.
with talents showcased their skills. After all, several renowned directors were present. Everyone seized
the chance, aiming to impress.
Zelena had carefully chosen her outfit and made meticulous preparations to shine during the freshman
orientation. She had gathered information before coming to this city and was eager to connect with
affluent individuals here. Her primary goal was to befriend Nolan Spencer, the student council
president, who had spoken on stage at the freshman orientation.
As such, she strategically positioned herself along the route that Nolan was expected to pass through,
holding a glass of wine and deliberately avoiding looking at the path. Internally, she mentally readied.
herself to create a chance encounter with him.
However, she had miscalculated. Nolan did not take that route.
While Nolan delivered a speech on stage, his gaze consistently scanned the crowd for Violeta. Spotting
her, he left the stage and headed toward her.
Zelena waited in vain for Nolan to come to her. After a while, she looked around and found him
approaching Violeta. Seeing this, she immediately hurried over to him.
Violeta stood up from her seat, but a voice sounded behind her before she could take a step. “Viol”
Chapter 13 A Killing AttemptShe turned around and saw Zoren approaching her. Hayden and two other guys followed him.
Violeta was briefly stunned upon seeing them. Hayden and the others were not at the freshman
orientation in her previous life. She could not understand why they showed up now.
“Why are all of you here?”
Zoren smiled as he approached Violeta. “Isn’t this the freshman orientation? We thought we’d join the
fun.”
noveldramaVioleta showed a hint of disdain. “Are you even supposed to be here? Don’t go causing trouble.”
As Zoren and the others approached, everyone’s attention shifted to them. Violeta suddenly discovered
herself as the center of attention. She felt uncomfortable with everyone staring at her.
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. Hayden, Zoren, and the other two were famous
throughout Toland University. They were even more popular than Nolan, the student council president.
“Hey, you guys should leave!” Violeta nudged Zoren, urging them to go away.
Zoren turned around. His handsome face was directed at Violeta. He held her hand and said, “Why
should I leave! Knowing you’ll attend this university, my uncle specifically asked me to take care of you.
Let me introduce you to a few of the people here. I know everyone who spoke on stage earlier.”
Violeta was rendered speechless.
At that moment, Hayden’s gaze suddenly focused on Zoren holding Violeta’s hand. His gaze was so
intense that it seemed to pierce through Zoren’s hand.
Why does my hand suddenly feel uncomfortable?
Zoren sensed a sudden threat and turned to find Hayden glaring at him.D*mn, I almost had a heart attack. He immediately released Violeta’s hand.
Violeta was surprised that Zoren suddenly pushed her hand away. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Let’s not hold hands. It itches.”
“Huh?” Violeta was confused.
Jasper laughed and remarked teasingly, “Vio, Zoren haven’t showered.”
His words offended Zoren. “Who said I didn’t shower? I bathe every day, and I smell great!”
Liam replied, “Why don’t you try holding her hand again?”
Zoren remained silent.
Attempting that would get me killed D*mn,these two annoying b*stards! Are they trying to get me
beaten up? What
the heck?
Hayden stepped forward. He ignored the other guys and turned to Violeta. “Don’t mind them, I’ll take
you.”
Initially Violeta did not want to follow them as she I not returned Mr. Lowe’s photo However on

further consideration, she realized it was an excellent opportunity to be introduced to important people.
Thus, she agreed. “Okay”
The four guys led Violeta confidently to the front row, where several deans and film directors were
seated.
“Mr. Yost, Mr. Strauss.”
Mr. Yost and Mr. Strauss were surprised to see them. “Hayden, why are you here?”
“We came to show support,” Hayden answered.
Mr. Yost seemed unconvinced. “Show support? We would be happy enough if you don’t steal the
spotlight from us.”
Zoren replied in good humor, “Mr. Yost, don’t say that. But don’t worry. We arrived after your speech
ended. We didn’t steal anyone’s spotlight!”
Mr. Strauss chuckled.
After a brief banter, Zoren took the initiative to introduce Violeta. “Violeta is a freshman in the acting
department. Mr. Yost, Mr. Strauss, can you inform the professors to take good care of Vio in class.”
Although shy, Violeta greeted them respectfully, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Yost and Mr. Strauss
In the m
previous life, Violeta was only an ordinary student at Toland University. She never had the chance to
get this so close to the deans, let alone chat with them. She had always had immense respect for this
group of scholars.Mr. Strauss smiled and looked at Violeta.
They had heard rumors during the freshman orientation that the university chancellor’s daughter
enrolled in the performing arts department. Seeing Violeta, they knew it must be her.
Even if Violeta did not come to greet them, they knew what they had to do. After learning that she was
the chancellor’s daughter, who would dare to give her trouble?
“Violeta, right? You have a promising talent.”
“Come with me, Violeta. We have three film directors visiting our university today, so I might as well
introduce them to you. They are Mr. Lowe, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Zahn. All are renowned directors.
When you graduate, you’ll surely have the chance to collaborate with them.”
“Who knows, you might not even have to wait until graduation! Hahaha..
