Zelena expressed a hint of optimism, “Perhaps she might stumble upon stroke of luck and emerge victorious?

Hattie derided, “Luck? Do you believe she’s a reincarnated lucky charm?”

Zelena couldn’t confirm.

In the depths of her heart, she couldn’t help but recall Violeta’s stunning performance at the Moon. Festival, a memory that still filled her with unease.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that this lifetime different from the past, Violeta no longer the same person she once was.

Though she knew Violeta wouldn’t play chess, she decided it was best to prevent any unexpected surprises. So, to ensure Violeta wouldn’t take the stage at all, she took matters into her own hand

Each table in the chess hall had a designated teapot with a specific number.

She found the teapot corresponding to Violeta’s table number, discreetly sprinkled the laxatives inside. while no one was looking, and then gave the tea a gentle shake.

After sure no one had noticed, she quickly left the backstage area.

Hattie was furious. “It’s the teachers at school. They’re always picking on him. Benson can’t cope

with it.

It wasn’t easy for anyone to endure such intense physical punishment. The fact that Benson could persist was already quite remarkable.

Hattie aware Liam’s group targeted Benson at school.

However, despite knowing the truth, Hattie couldn’t speak out on his behalf or cause a commotion.
