The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 81

Nancy casually lifted her head, only to lock eyes with the approaching figure of pure beauty.

It was Susan, one of her so-called rivals.

The animosity in Susan's gaze was unmistakable, but Nancy remained cold and collected. "If you can be here, why can't I?"

A year had passed since they last met. Susan, even more stunning and mature, could only harbor jealousy.

"Since you've left the scene, do you think it's still your era?" Susan sneered.

"We'll see about that soon," Nancy replied, her tone light.

Susan's face twisted in anger. "You!"

"What about me? Maybe you should focus on your skills instead of worrying about Lena's. Or is it that you have a crush on Lena?" Lenard interjected sharply.

Laughter erupted around them.

Feeling the sting of their words, especially with Lenard defending Lena, Susan felt nothing but dissatisfaction and resentment.

Suddenly, Susan's anger turned into a mocking laugh. "Lena, there's something you're right about. Soon, you'll see whose era it is!"

After that, she stormed off as if she were the only possible victor.

Watching Susan leave, Lenard couldn't hide his disdain. "Nutcase, she thinks she's all that."

Turning to Nancy, he reassured her, "Don't worry, Nancy. Susan's got nothing on you. If NY doesn't pick you tonight, they're blind."

Nancy's expression turned complicated; Susan's confident vibe made her a bit uneasy.

Before Nancy could gather her thoughts, another man approached Lenard. "Lenard, it's been a while. Do you have a moment?"
