Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 297 Updates

Lucy was taken aback to see Violeta on this stage.

Vivian was also surprised and scoffed, “Grace really overdid it, bringing her student, whom she’s barely trained for two years, to compete. Does she think her student is some kind of dance prodigy? It was as if two years could stack up to ten years of hard work.

“This isn’t a place where a few flips will win you a trophy. It’s almost laughable!”

Lucy did not say anything.

She noticed the dance costume Violeta was wearing.

It was the same one from the school’s Moon Festival.

That meant Violeta did not even have a costume specifically made for this competition!

Clearly, it was a last-minute fix.

Indeed, it was a stretch.

Lucy was puzzled. Didn’t Grace have two other students? Why insist on Violeta competing?

What about Hazel and Nydia?

“Ms. Montclair, why did Grace let her compete? Shouldn’t it have been Hazel and Nydia?

Vivian walked away, snickering, “Who knows? They might be dead or disabled. Hmph, probably crippled if not dead, right?”

Lucy’s eyes widened.
