Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 243 Solving the Riddles

But her grades had always been pretty bad. Every time this came up, that old lady would nag about it. Many times during meals, she brought up how bad her grades were, basically saying that such poor performance was embarrassing the Ridges.

Luckily, Carl wasn’t as strict about what Hattie achieved.

He just expected Hattie’s grades not to be at the bottom, and she must pass the final exams.

With the end of the semester approaching, if her grades were too low this time, she’d be caught by that old nag from the family again.

It’s really getting more annoying the more I think about it.

If participating in the game in the Old Town this time could earn credits, Hattie would definitely join.

Soon after, everyone showed up.

Violeta gave them the handbooks and told everyone that doing well in the game activities at the Old Town could earn them bonus points.

The student council arranged for a senior to go with them to the Old Town. They’d have half an hour to do their own thing and then gather back at the lodge at noon for lunch.

The leader made sure everyone got the message.

The scenery in the Old Town was delightful.

Kaylee stopped frequently along the way, taking lots of photos with Violeta and posting them on her Instagram.

She even got a free keychain shaped like an ancient pagoda.

Once they scattered, everyone started doing their own thing. Some went to puppetry shows, while others, who had credits deducted at school, headed straight to the game booths to participate. Violeta spotted the riddle guessing game advertised in the pamphlet earlier and was very interested, so she headed to the riddle guessing booth.

When they arrived, there was already a long line in front of the booth.
