Natalie glanced around before she whispered, “I have a suspicion that it wasn't them.”
Sally's eyes widened in shock. “You-”
Natalie quickly covered Sally's mouth. “Keep it down, will you?”
Sally nodded with her mouth covered.
Only seeing that did Natalie loosened her hold.
Sally tugged Natalie's arm. “You think it wasn't Amy and Tiffanie?”
Natalie nodded, “I never interacted much with Amy and Tiffanie. Besides, both she and I are in Team A. So in terms
of capability, we're on par with each other. There's no reason for her to be jealous of me.”
“But her ranking in Team A was five places lower than yours,” Sally replied.
Natalie disagreed, shaking her head. “Yes, my ranking is higher than hers, but there are also four others who
ranked higher than me. So those four are the ones Amy should be jealous of, not me.”
“But you were the only one in the washroom at that time, so maybe Amy thought she could deal with you first,”
Sally added.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie chuckled. “And that is why this is merely my assumptions. It could all just be my imagination.”
Alice's incident has made me realize that sometimes the culprit caught isn't the actual culprit.
However, Alice was merely a scapegoat that Mr. Gunn got to cover for Jacqueline. But here, there isn't any reason
for the organizers to cover for the real culprit.
Maybe Amy and Tiffanie are truly the culprits.
Although that was what Natalie thought, she still decided to visit Amy and Tiffanie at the prison after the
competition had ended.
Otherwise, she would not be able to let go of her worries.
After the meeting had ended, the crowd headed over to the competition venue.
Jessie walked by Natalie's side while on the way there.
“Ms. Natalie, it's great that the culprit that harmed you was caught.” Jessie smiled.
Natalie couldn't be bothered to guess whether Jessie was sincere or not. As such, she smiled faintly and replied,
“Thank you.”
“You're welcome.” Jessie waved her hands.
I can't believe that person, despite having their name tarnished, was still able to get me a scapegoat.
This is great.
Now, I could finally be at ease.
The competition officially started.
Natalie's performance was perfect as usual. She remained in Team A.
The same goes for Jessie.
Natalie left the venue after the competition had ended. She and Sally were about to make a visit to the prison.
On the way there, Mercede finally replied to Natalie's message.
The latter frowned when she finished reading the reply.
Sally noticed that and asked, “Nat, what's wrong?”
“Do you still remember that when I came here, I asked my mentor about who Jessie's mentor is?” Natalie asked.
Sally nodded. “Yeah. But didn't your mentor say that none of the top designers was Jessie's mentor?”
“You're right. But now, my mentor is saying that she missed out on one designer, and that designer is Jessie's
mentor.” Natalie pursed her lips.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSally asked, “Who is it?”
“It's Calanda Linde.”
“Calanda Linde? She sounds familiar.” Sally cocked her head, trying to recall.
Natalie chuckled. “Do you remember a designer that got caught in a fire and suffered burns to her face a few years
ago?”
Sally instantly remembered. “Oh, so it's her.”
“Exactly.” Natalie nodded.
Calanda, like Mercede, was a top designer as well. Although the former was the youngest designer to be called as
such, she had a bad character.
A few years ago, the news reported that Calanda fell in love with an actress's husband and interfered in their
marriage. The actress had since exposed Calanda's doings to the public, smearing her name in the process. In turn,
Calanda exacted revenge on the actress by messing with her gown. The actress was humiliated when she suffered
from a wardrobe malfunction at an event.
In a fit of rage, the actress knocked Calanda unconscious and subsequently covered her head with a plastic bag
before setting it on fire. If it weren't for a passerby who saved Calanda in time, she probably would have died
instead of merely suffering burns on her face.
