Chapter 18 Friendship Abandoned
But Hayden was not going to help him. He ignored Liam’s pleading look and turned to Violeta, saying. “Since you’re eager to join the fun, why don’t you decide on the punishment?”
Violeta’s eyes brightened. “Can I?”
Hayden nodded. “Yes”
Seeing this, Jasper laughed even louder. “Hahaha! Liam, it’s not too late for you to beg Vio for mercy!”
Liam was stunned. “Hade, you’ve changed. How can you do this? You abandoned our friendship over a girl. I hate you!” But Hayden ignored him.
Meanwhile, Violeta was full of mischief. She leaned over to whisper something to Jasper. These two were ingenious in their pranks, and their ideas were surprisingly in sync, making them perfect partners in
crime.
A moment later, Violeta cleared her throat, saying. “All right, I’ll give you a few options.”
“You can eat the fondue base, a raw pig’s brain, or drink a concoction.”
“Concoction? What kind of concoction?”
Violeta blinked mysteriously. “Of course, I can’t tell you that. Hurry up and choose!”
As she spoke, Jasper ate something from a bowl. It looked tasty.
Zoren and Liam exchanged glances and decided at the same time. “We will take the concoction!”
“Not bad. It’s a good choice!”
Jasper put down the bowl of pumpkin soup and asked the waiter to bring a blender.
Then, he added two raw eggs, two stalks of celery, two bitter gourds, and a tomato, along with sauerkraut, blue cheese, and durian flesh. He blended them in the blender until they became a thick, smoothie–like concoction. Lastly, he topped it with some coconut milk.
Violeta named the concoction Wide Awake Smoothie.
Zoren and Liam were horrified. The two of them looked at the bowl of slush before them and felt
nauseous.
“Are you sure it’s edible?”
Violeta replied, “Why would it not be?”
Jasper agreed with Violeta. “All the ingredients it contains are naturally edible. Although we don’t know for sure whether it will cause diarrhea.”
Violeta rubbed her chin, adding. “I don’t think it will last long. Perhaps they might pass out. Still, they will be fine after taking medicine.”
Zoren and Liam widened their eyes in shock.

“Vio, I’m your cousin! How can you be so ruthless as to sacrifice your relative?” Zoren protested.
I don’t dare to think about what would happen if I drank this concoction.

Violeta covered her mouth and chuckled. Zoren had always thought she was beautiful and innocent, but now she seemed sly and mischievous.
Jasper grabbed the chance to goad them further. “Don’t worry, drink. If it doesn’t sit well, I’ll buy you some anti–diarrheal medicine.”
Liam was stunned.
Suddenly, Hayden said, “The rules of the game must be followed.
Since Hayden had spoken, how could they not drink the concoction? If they backed out now, the consequences would be worse than the effects of this obnoxious concoction.
Thus, Zoren picked up the bowl before him and shut his eyes, resembling a warrior facing a deathly battle.
“Vio, I will remember this for the rest of my life. This terrible idea must be yours.”
He downed the concoction, gulp by gulp.
Liam witnessed Zoren’s bravery and followed suit, drinking the concoction.
Once they finished drinking, they were surprised that they did not taste anything. After all, they drank it too quickly that the concoction flowed straight down their throats
“We’re done. The punishment is over, right?”
Jasper replied. “It’s done. Let’s play again next time.
Zoren snorted. “Hmph, just you wait! I’ll make you try all the recipes from today!”
“Yes! You must try them all!” Liam chimed in.
Violeta smiled, asking. “What did you taste?”
Liam replied, “I didn’t dare to taste it, fearing I would vomit.” Jasper burst into laughter.
After finishing the fondue, the guys sent Violeta home first.
The car entered the White family’s compound. Violeta got out of the car and bid them farewell.
“See you tomorrow,” Zoren said.
“Tomorrow?”
Since they would be having Military training in three days, they did not have classes tomorrow or the day
after.
Zoren replied. “We’ll go out and have fun.”
Violeta nodded. “Okay, see you tomorrow then. After saying that, she turned around and entered the

Hayden’s gaze followed Violeta until she went out of sight. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.
“Oh, still looking at her? We’ll see her tomorrow anyway,” Zoren joked.
Hayden gave him a cold look. “Drive.”
Violeta hung out with the four guys for the next few days. They learned more about each other and grew closer in the process. Furthermore, Violeta had an easygoing personality and was not pretentious, allowing them to become good friends quickly.
During this time, they tried many recreational activities in Quinston, such as jungle go–karting, racing. and surfing. Soon, people began to find out about Violeta. Everyone was astonished by rumors of Violeta’s constant presence among the four famous heirs in Quinston.
Irene initially worried that Violeta would have difficulty adapting to life in Quinston. However, she was relieved when she saw how quickly Violeta befriended Zoren and the others.
On the day before military training, Irene went to Violeta’s room, saying, “Vio, I heard the military training will be in the jungle this time. Let me know if you can’t handle it, and you won’t have to go.”
Military training was a mandatory requirement for admission to Toland University. The university’s military training was known to be strict. Irene was worried that Violeta would be unable to endure the hardships and felt heartbroken for her precious daughter.
Eurthermore, her husband was the chancellor of Toland University. It would be easy for him to arrange an exemption for Violeta.
“Mom, don’t worry. I can handle it.”
“But you
had a car accident before. I’m worried…
“Oh, Mom. I’ll be fine. How about this? I promise to tell you if the training is too much for me, okay?”
Irene sighed. “All right. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Violeta was their most precious treasure. They did not want her to experience even the slightest bit of hardship.
With the White family’s resources, they could send Voleta to any school worldwide. So, it wasn’t a matter of the school choosing her, but rather her selecting the school.
“Mom, it’s getting late. You should rest. Have you been sleeping well these past few days? There are dark circles under your eyes. Rehearsing for the theater must be tough, right?”
Recently, the theater had been rehearsing for a large–scale event that several television stations would broadcast. As the key person at the theater, Irene naturally bore significant responsibilities.
Hearing her daughter’s concern, Irene immediately felt rejuvenated. “It’s nothing. It’s worth it for the
school show’s impact. Anyway, I won’t keep you. You should get some rest, too. You have to go to Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
tomorrow.
“Okay.”

Violeta walked Irene out of her bedroom.
Suddenly, her phone on the bed lit up. A message from a group named ‘Good Vibes Only popped up on
the screen.
Zoren: Vio, you’ll be going to Mount Wilson for military training tomorrow, and the weather will be scorching hot at 36 degrees. Can you handle it?”
