Since there was no elimination in the first round of the competition, and people had been separated into groups,
there was no reason for them to stay any longer.
The actual competition would only start the next day.
It would be impossible to determine who would be the winner in a competition without it lasting at least two or
three days.
As such, everyone was given the opportunity to take a break.
“How about we go out for a meal later, Nat? I heard that this country's local delicacy is pretty good,” Lina
suggested upon glancing at the watch.
Natalie nodded. “Sure. It's been a while since we ate outside. Let's go.”
“Nice!” Lina clapped. “I knew you were the best, Nat. Let's go!”
“Mhm.” Natalie smiled.
With that, both of them left the competition hall hand in hand while two bodyguards followed behind them. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgroup of four was pretty eye-catching as they made their way to the restaurant.
Soon, they arrived at a pretty famous restaurant that sold the country's local delicacy.
Lina ordered two dishes before handing the menu to Natalie. “Take a look and order what you want to try, Nat!”
Natalie grabbed the menu, perused it, and also picked two dishes. Then she handed the menu to the waiter and
spoke in Ustranian. “That'll be all.”
“All right, miss. Please wait for a moment.” The waiter grabbed the menu and headed to the kitchen to relay their
orders.
Natalie poured Lina and herself two cups of water. “Here you go.”
“Thank you, Nat.” Lina grabbed the cup before standing up. “I need to go to the restroom, Nat. I'll be right back.”
Natalie took a sip of the water and waved her hand. “Go ahead.”
Lina smiled and headed to the restroom.
As Natalie waited, she started scrolling through her phone.
A few minutes later, Lina returned with slightly furrowed eyebrows. Her expression appeared darkened, too.
When Natalie saw that, her expression turned serious as she put down her phone and asked, “What's wrong, Lina?”
“Did you know who I saw just now?” Lina leaned forward and whispered.
Natalie narrowed her eyes. “Who?”
Based on how grim Lina looked, she assumed that the person wasn't a friend or an ally.
However, she couldn't think of anyone who had a hostile relationship with them.
She could think of two people who were hostile toward her, but she didn't know if there was anyone who disliked
both her and Lina at the same time.
After all, she and Lina had never offended anyone together.
Lina knew what Natalie was thinking when the former saw the latter's expression. She looked around before
explaining, “I'm not saying that person has a beef with me, Nat. It's someone who has a grudge against you.”
“Me?” Natalie pointed at her nose as her eyebrows furrowed.
Lina nodded. “That's right, you.”
Natalie bit her lip. “I see. In that case, who did you see, Lina? Was it Lucy?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLina shook her head. “No. If it were Lucy, I would've directly told you instead of being vague about it.”
“If it's not Lucy, then who is it?” Natalie pursed her lips. The only people who hate me right now are Lucy and Sean,
right? No, wait! There's one more. Hannah!
When her train of thought ended there, she stared at Lina. “Are you referring to Hannah?”
She didn't find Sean likely because she believed he wouldn't just show up like that.
After all, his bodyguards were around.
If he had shown up, he would definitely have been discovered, so she deduced that it wasn't him.
The only possible person left was Hannah.
As expected, when Hannah's name was mentioned, Lina nodded. “That's right! It's her!”
While she wasn't familiar with Hannah, she knew the latter had a grudge against Natalie.
During the international competition, Sally had told her that Hannah and Jessie were trying to take Natalie down
together.
Moreover, Sally also showed her what those two women looked like, so she clearly remembered Hannah's and
Jessie's appearances.
As such, the moment she saw Hannah, Lina recognized her.
