Chapter 51 Get Her Money
They couldn’t comprehend Violeta, not after everything she had experienced in her previous life- poverty, exhaustion, and hardship. Unlike them, who had always been spendthrifts, they had no understanding of the struggles she had faced.
Even though Violeta was no longer lacking money, she still wanted others, including the couple in the café, to live well. The café, which used to have poor business, was now thriving. The couple were overjoyed because they no longer had to return to their hometown, and their children could study in Quinston.
Violeta simply shook her head and said, “You don’t understand.”
“Alright, please don’t talk to me anymore. You’re disturbing my work. Go out and take a walk. There are too many people in the shop.”
Aw, she’s complaining about us now.
Alright then, the four of them exchanged glances and left the shop to take a walk outside.
They hadn’t walked for long when Zelena and her group arrived. As soon as they entered, they saw Violeta standing behind the counter, taking orders. Zelena couldn’t conceal the mockery and sarcasm in her eyes.
I knew she would be working here.
Look at what she’s wearing. She must be living miserably after leaving the Blake family.
When Jasper gets tired of her and dumps her, she’ll be even worse off
Zelena felt great satisfaction in her heart. They confidently walked up to the counter, exchanging glances. When Violeta looked up and saw them, her expression remained unchanged.
Zelena curled her lips and met Violeta’s gaze with a shallow disdain in her eyes. She exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, sis, how could you work here? If you need money, you should have told me! If things get tough, you can always go back to Dad and Mom and apologize. They will definitely forgive you!”
“Sis, even though we are not biological sisters and you are not Dad and Mom’s biological child, they have raised you for eighteen years and still have feelings for you. They would never be so heartless towards you. Sis, seeing you work so hard here, I feel really sorry for you!”
Zelena’s voice was not low, quickly attracting the attention of others in the store. Her intention was simple: to embarrass Violeta. Naturally, the more people who knew, the happier she would be. Gillian and Candy also chimed in from the side.
“Lena, just forget it. Someone like her will never be grateful!”
“Yes. She fits this job perfectly. Slie has enjoyed the benefits of being with you for eighteen years for free! You are being too considerate of her. Someone like her doesn’t deserve it”
They echoed each other, putting on a show that delighted the three women. Violeta found it quite ridiculous, Zelena was truly determined to make things difficult for her.
The forum post had gained quite a bit of attention, and many people had come to see Violeta’s true

phones and left comments on the forum, enjoying the spectacle,
At this moment, Kaylee, who was having her meal, walked over and rudely asked, “Seriously, why are you people so nosy? Are you going to order or not? If not, please leave.”
“We are going to order. We never said we wouldn’t.”
The three of them glanced at the menu and were about to place their orders. However, the people in line behind them were not happy.
“Hey, are you three from Toland University? How can you be so uncivilized!”
“Didn’t you see that we are all in line? What’s the meaning of cutting in suddenly?”
“Yeah! Did you even see us? It’s hot outside, and there are still many people waiting out there!”
Zelena and the others had become too engrossed in their conversation and had forgotten that they were still in line. They felt extremely embarrassed.
Someone recognized Zelena and spoke up. “Isn’t this the girl who used to wear cheerleading uniforms on the forum?!”
“Yeah, it’s her! I didn’t expect her to be so uncivilized!”
Now things were not looking good for Zelena. Her reputation was ruined.
Violeta was known for her beauty, while Zelena was known for her embarrassing behavior. The contrast
Was stark.
“I think she also participated in the campus beauty pageant, right? I remember she received quite a few votes! I can’t believe her behavior. This is really disappointing.”
“We apologize, everyone.”
Zelena quickly realized the situation and apologized to the people in line behind her with a remorseful expression. Then, she cleverly shifted the blame onto Violeta.
“The person taking your orders is my sister. When I found out she was working here, I felt so sorry for her that I became anxious and forgot I was still in line. I’m really sorry about that! How about this? Let me treat you all to coffee! If you’re willing to forgive me.”
“Wow! Really!?”
“You’re treating us to coffee? That’s great!”
The crowd was buzzing with excitement.
Upon hearing Zelena’s words, the people who were complaining in line just now suddenly changed their expressions.
Violeta stood behind the counter, coldly observing the scene.
Zelena always liked using this tactic because offering immediate benefits was the most effective way to win

people over.
However, she glanced at Mic–cmpty coffee beans next to her and smiled.
The coffee beans were running out, so she had called the servants at home to deliver more.
The White family’s coffee beans were imported and of high quality. Although the ones used in the shop before were not bad, the ones from the White family were naturally the best.
At first, Violeta only thought about opening the business and didn’t properly prepare everything. Event though using the White family’s coffee beans would almost eliminate the profit and might even result in a loss, it was still a way to establish a reputation.
She didn’t plan to increase the profit or raise the prices.
But now, Zelena insisted on paying the bill, so she just had to increase the profit!
Not only did she have to increase the profit, but she also had to make a substantial profit from it.
Since she was in the business of making money, if someone offered free money, she would definitely welcome it with open arms!
“Alright! Applause for Zelenal She is treating you guys to coffee!”
Violeta led the applause and then exaggeratedly said, “But I forgot to tell you, we only have enough coffee beans left for less than five cups of coffee. We need to switch to better beans, so the price will be different, you know!”
Whether or not there was a price increase didn’t matter to the people waiting in line. After all, they didn’t have to pay, and they could still enjoy better coffee. There is no reason not to take the offer.
However, Zelena’s expression changed.
Earlier, she could offer to treat everyone to coffee because she had looked at the menu prices and they weren’t that expensive!
But now, listening to Violeta’s tone, it seemed that the price would change after switching the beans.
Although she had money, she wasn’t foolish. She didn’t want to be deceived by Violeta.
“How coincidental that you switched the beans as soon as I arrived. Who knows if the beans you switched. to are of good quality?”
Violeta smirked. “It’s okay. I told you in advance that we were switching beans. Whether you treat or not is up to you. But you did say you would treat everyone earlier, so are you reneging on your word now?”
Kaylee exaggeratedly said, “No way. You just promised to treat everyone to coffee earlier. Are you really going to back out now? You can’t be that kind of woman, can you?”
The words of the two, along with the gazes of the people in line behind them, put Zelena in a difficult position.
Zelena clenched her teeth and said, “Fine, since I said it, I won’t go back on my word!”
Violeta raised her red lips and applauded.
