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 Zelenaâs malicious actions.
It was so bad that Violeta 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 find 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 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 sixtyâyearâold. 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 stuck in such highâpressure work, unable to see a way out. All she could do keep moving forward. She had enough of living such a life.
Now that she could start over, why would she find her present training difficult? How could it compare to what she had suffered in past life? These people not what real suffering was!
Violeta didnât answer the personâs questions but quickened her 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.
had endured a lot of hardship but was 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.

âZelena, youâre amazing! Youâre such good friends with the student council president.â
âThatâs right. Did you see Nolan earlier? Heâs so handsome!â
âIndeed, Nolan is handsome. Zelena, do you think he gave you this because he likes you?â
Zelenaâs heart fluttered. She covered her face shyly, saying, âOh my, what are you saying? No way! Heâs probably concerned for me because we are schoolmates! Besides, heâs friendly to everyone! Please donât rumors. It would be embarrassing!â
âHahaha, everyone, , Zelena is embarrassed!â
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 anonymous exposé on the university forum. âBreaking News! Zelena Blake Mysteriously Exempted from Military Training, Receiving Special Treatment Her Classmates!â
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 year. However, Zelena had the âprivilegeâ 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 afternoon for the post to become one of the top five trending posts.
After posting, Violeta continued with training as .
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.
âOh my!
at this! Zelena been exposed on the forum!â
âWhat? Really?â
âYes, everyone, look at this. No wonder Zelena always looks so glamorous. Turns out sheâs receiving special.
treatment!
âThatâs too much. Weâre tired and achy all the time. Why does she get special treatment?â
âItâs probably of her influential parents! She must have used their connections to secure an exemption!â
The camp was filled with the buzzing of 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 attention among the guys. However, she did not expect guys to be willing to interact with her..

Whatâs going on?
Zelena approached Kaylee, who was close to her before, to find out what had happened.
Kaylee said sarcastically, âWhy would we dare to get close to you? You get special treatment!â
âWhat? What do you mean?â Zelena was stunned.
Kaylee covered the rashes on her face with a thick layer of foundation while saying. âGo check the forum! Someone has exposed you. Youâve incurred the displeasure of our entire class, being the only one receiving special treatment â.
âAlso, is something wrong with the sunscreen you gave me previously? Why do I develop allergic reactions. after using it?â
Zelenaâs eyes flickered with surprise. She nearly burst out laughing when she saw the severe rashes on Kayleeâs face, even makeup failed to hide.
âHow 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. Iâm leaving now. You should check your things.â
After leaving Kaylee, Zelena immediately took out her to check the forum. Her face twisted with anger when she saw the trending post.
No wonder people 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. âZelena, why are here? Step out of the team.â
Tears immediately welled up in Zelenaâs eyes. She replied stubbornly, âSir, I want to train with everyone.â She started coughing profusely. âPlease donât mind me.â
Violeta calmly observed Zelenaâs display from the back row. She had anticipated this and had no of letting Zelena off so easily this time.
The instructor continued, âZelena, you should leave the training if youâre unwell. Didnât you submit medical leave report beforehand?â
âMedical leave report? Someone in the formation whispered in confusion.
Seizing the opportunity, Zeloha added urgently, âSir, I did submit a medical leave report, but itâs okay. My epilepsy isnât severe, and I can endure it. My classmates are already unhappy with me, and I canât afford to slack off further. Please allow me to continue with the training! I avoid just because Iâm worried that intense training might trigger my epilepsy.â
