A grim look crossed Natalie’s face as she said, “Apologize now.”
“What?” Hannah pretended not to hear her.
Natalie glared at her with icy eyes and demanded, “I said apologize!”
Taken aback by her gaze, Hannah stiffened involuntarily. However, she seemed to have thought of
something the next moment as a smile appeared on her face. “Alright, alright. I’ll apologize. I’m sorry. I
shouldn’t have said that you had a miscarriage. Will that do?”
“What kind of apology is that?” Sally bellowed while glaring at her.
Hannah then retorted in dissatisfaction, “What? You’re the ones who demanded that I apologize, yet
you’re not satisfied with it now? What do you want then?”
“Have you seen how you apologized earlier? Who would do that?” Sally said with a flushed face.
“What’s wrong with that? Anyway, I’ve already apologized. I don’t care if you don’t accept it. Hmph!”
She rolled her eyes at them and left.
Sally was about to chase after her, but Natalie stopped her.
“Forget it. It won’t do us any good if we make a scene here.”
“But how can we let her off the hook just like that? I can’t accept it. This is just so infuriating,” she
grumbled angrily.
Her friend then said with narrowed eyes, “Don’t worry. I’ll get my revenge sooner or later, and I’ll strike
her once I get the chance.”
Sally’s eyes brightened as she asked, “What are you planning to do?”
Natalie smiled in response but said nothing.
Meanwhile, Hannah was back at Jessie’s side. “Ms. Syke, I’ve angered Natalie as per your instruction.”
The latter’s lips curled into a smile as she said, “Good.”
“But I don’t understand. Why did you make me use Natalie’s miscarriage as an excuse to anger her?”
Jessie’s eyes darkened as she said, “It’s simple. Didn’t you see what happened yesterday? I don’t know
what she saw, but something infuriated her, and it affected her baby. I want that to continue, and if we
don’t succeed this time, we’ll do it again. I want her to have a miscarriage for real.”
If it weren’t for the organizers of the competition who installed surveillance cameras everywhere because
they wanted to protect the participants, she wouldn’t have resorted to such an idiotic way. She would
have killed the child in Natalie’s belly directly if she could.
However, this was the only way if she didn’t want to be caught on one of the cameras. In other words,
Jessie would never let Natalie give birth to Shane’s child. There wasn’t anything she could do about the
two children since they were already so old, but she could never tolerate the child who wasn’t born yet.
Hannah inhaled sharply as she stared at the woman in fear. “Ms. Syke, do you have a grudge against
Natalie?”
I can’t believe she wants to get rid of the baby.
Even though she didn’t like Natalie, she never wished for her to have a miscarriage. All she would do
was gloat if the latter were to miscarry. After all, all Hannah felt toward her was just jealousy.
Yet, Jessie was thinking of doing something so extreme.
“That’s right. I do have a grudge against her. I can’t even tolerate being in the same room as her. That’s
how much I hate her. I assure you, you’ll become an international model as long as you do what I want.”
Hannah swallowed in fright upon hearing that.
She knew that the woman before her was dangerous. But the words ‘international model’ were too much
of a temptation, and she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
So she nodded instinctively. Her face was full of determination as though she had thought something
through as she said, “Alright.”
Content with the reply, Jessie smiled.
Soon, the competition started.
There was a total of ninety-six costume designers participating, and it was such a glorious sight as they
sat together.
Natalie was sitting in the middle seat of the second row, waiting for the host to announce the theme for
the competition.
Suddenly, she felt a penetrating gaze directed at her, and she couldn’t help but straighten her back. She
instinctively turned to look and saw Jessie, who was sitting two rows behind her.
“It’s her?” she mumbled as she narrowed her eyes.
