Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 263 Because I Didn’t Want To

New Year celebrations should have this kind of atmosphere. Inside, several gambling tables were already set up, ready for poker after lunch. Old friends rarely get to gather for New Year.

Everyone’s schedules are usually packed, and while they might see each other occasionally, such festive gatherings are very rare.

Among Violeta’s generation, Niall and Elaine were the oldest.

Violeta was the youngest.

During lunch, everyone was well-mannered. When the elders chatted, the younger ones rarely interrupted.

Coincidentally, Violeta wasn’t very talkative, so she was more interested in the food than the conversation.

The local cuisine of Quinston was served.

Violeta eyed the sugar-coated fruit and smoked duck several times but hesitated to take any.

Irene wrapped a cornbread for Violeta and handed it to her. The cornbread was stuffed with fillings, and one bite was incredibly delicious. Still, Violeta wanted the smoked duck.

There wasn’t much smoked duck, and since this wasn’t her home, she felt it impolite to reach for it.

While sipping her water, Violeta overheard the conversation shift to Hayden and his peers’ prospects.

Hayden’s name came up, of course.

Violeta listened intently. Just then, a piece of smoked duck appeared on her plate.
