Chapter 459 Precaution
Sunset Cafe initially used Violeta's image for its promotion, but Violeta had no business connection with the cafe.
These points left everyone stunned.
What??
Violeta wasn't the owner of Sunset Cafe.
What was going on?
After reading the statement, Aster looked up in shock.
"Ms. White, you knew this all along?"
Everyone had read the statement from Sunset Cafe. They were equally astonished.
Indeed, they were swayed by public opinion from the start, never verifying the facts. They had all assumed Violeta was the owner of Sunset Cafe. It turned out that Violeta wasn't the owner.
The producer said, "So, Violeta isn't the owner, which means the online rumors were baseless accusations? Violeta, is it true that you aren't the owner of Sunset Cafe?"
Violeta sat calmly on the side. She had maintained her composure throughout.
"That's right; I am not.
"To be precise, when did I ever claim I'm the owner of Sunset Cafe?"
Everyone was dumbfounded by the claim.
The promotional standees featuring Violeta's image suggested her association with Sunset Cafe.
However, the promotional standees alone did not indicate that Violeta was the owner of Sunset Cafe.
Most people would assume Violeta was just the face of the cafe when they saw the standees, not the owner.
Apart from Fiona and her husband, only Kaylee, Zoren, Jacques, and Zelena knew that Violeta was the owner; the former were her allies, while the latter were her enemies.
Violeta concluded that Zelena was behind this incident.
This woman must have been the one who conspired against her.
She had long anticipated that Zelena would use the cafe against her in the future.
When Anton decided to invest in Sunset Cafe and helped her open new branches, Violeta had made a decision.
She chose to withdraw from Sunset Cafe and return full ownership to Fiona and her husband.
Violeta never intended to run a business.
Her initial purchase of the cafe was intended to repay a debt of gratitude.
Fiona and her husband had taken her in during a difficult time in her previous life.
Therefore, Violeta bought the cafe to help them turn it from a failing business into a profitable one.
The couple was deeply grateful to Violeta for this.
After driving Zelena's shop out of business, Violeta sensed that Zelena wouldn't let things rest.
Zelena was vengeful, and she would surely find a way to retaliate.
Therefore, when White Group decided to invest and expand, transforming Sunset Cafe from a standalone shop into a company

QUMS
Not only did Violeta decide to withdraw, but she also wanted to return full control to Fiona and her husband.
The couple were the first to object.
"Vio, how can you do this? If it

weren't for you, this cafe would have gone under long ago. We would have returned to our hometown. You're the real owner of the cafe! Now that it's poised to grow, do you want to leave? That's impossible." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The couple was grateful, and they only recognised Violeta as the owner.
They never realised that Violeta was helping them to repay a debt.
Violeta explained, "This cafe was originally yours. I merely helped you through a rough patch. Besides, my withdrawal is a form of self-preservation." Fiona asked, "What do you mean?"
Violeta explained, "I drove Zelena's shop away, and she will surely seek revenge.
"You know I be entering the
entertainment industry. If anything happens to the cafe, it will tarnish my reputation, which means more than just losing money." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Violeta made it clear that her withdrawal wasn't out of generosity but out of self-interest.
"I can't let the cafe become a leverage point for her. So, I must return the cafe's control to you."
Her words made Fiona and her husband ponder.
Violeta had already helped them so much. With the cafe potentially becoming a liability for her, how could they possibly insist on Violeta staying?
