Chapter 391


    Chapter 391 Someone Poisons Her


    Mari still remembered the day of her father’s death. On Mount Rally, her cousin, Jessie, had poured


    ***and paint on her father’s grave. Jessie even wanted the bodyguards to sully her and haer mother. It


    was Paige who saved them…


    Afterward, Paige also bandaged her mother’s wounds and rented her house to them at a cheap price.


    To prevent them from having any psychological burdens, Paige even told them that the house was her


    friend’s.


    In the past, Nigel had bullied her a lot. He said that she had been absent for no reason and used


    her of giarism. But Paige would help her find out the truth and clear her innocence.


    Paige also encouraged her to participate in a national fashionpetition and be her assistant. Paige


    apanied her when she zed her way forward.


    If not for Paige, she would be an unknown designer.


    “Thank you so much. It’s great to know you,” Mari said in earnest.


    No one knew that she was thanking Paine, who was the judge. They thought that she was just thanking


    a friend.


    Paige’s gaze became even more gentle. She wondered, ********girl, there is no need to thank me.

    When Mari finished expressing her gratitude, the other two also made a speech. Soon, the third


    round of thepetition began.


    The six models came on stage wearing the same dress and requested the six contestants to modify the


    six dresses into the most stunning style they thought they could do.


    There was only one requirement. That was they couldn’t take off the dresses and could only modify


    them on the models.


    This was too simple for Mari. Countless styles shed through her mind, and soon, she began to


    modify the dress.


    Hernan handed the snacks provided by the organizers to Paige. Seeing that she did not eat them, he


    gave her some snacks that he had brought privately. They were to her usual tastes. He even asked


    someone to make a cup of coffee for Paige.


    “I brought the coffee beans. Try it.”


    Paige didn’t expect that Hernan would bring the coffee beans…


    She picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted mellow and fragrant. She nodded. “It tastes good.”


    “I still have some in my car. You can bring some back.” As Hernan spoke, his eyes remained on the


    stage.


    “Yes.” Paige’s eyes were also fixed on the stage. She found that Mari’s movements were getting


    slower and slower, as if she had met something tricky.


    “Something is wrong with Mari.” Hernan also noticed that. Although Mari’s back was facing the


    audience as she was modifying the dress on the model, her hands stopped from time to time. It was


    too frequent.


    At this time, the model standing in front of Mari noticed her strangeness and whispered, “Are you


    okay?”


    “I’m fine.” Mari didn’t know why, but her stomach was getting more and more painful. The key was


    that she didn’t eat anything backstage and didn’t even drink a mouthful of water. Could it be that she


    had a loose bowel after having breakfast?


    “Your face has turned pale.”


    Not only did her face turn pale, but even her lips also turned a little pale.


    “Why don’t you tell the host?” the model suggested.


    “No need.” It wasn’t easy for her to enter the third round. If she stopped midway, all her efforts would be


    in vain.


    It didn’t matter if she wasughed at, but what she represented now was her country.


    The two American contestants who had participated with her had already been knocked out. She was


    the only American representative left.


    The model couldn’t bear to see her grit her teeth and persist.


    Paige sensed something from the model’s expression. She wondered, Mari should be ufortable


    and is still persevering.


    “Do you want me to get the staff to ask about her condition?” Hernan asked Paige softly.


    “No need! She knows what to do.”


    This was herpetition. Whether she wanted to stop or not, when to stop, and whether she could


    persevere was up to her.


    Mari’s movements slowed down bit by bit. Her forehead was covered in sweat. Just as she was


    about to finish, her mind suddenly went nk as she fell onto the stage.


    “Ah…” Many of the audience were stunned. Some even stood up and looked at Mari in disbelief.


    She fell on the stage, motionless. The model in front of her shouted, “She has been ufortable


    since…”


    Several staff members immediately rushed to the stage, but their movements were not as fast as


    Paige’s.


    Paige rushed up first and leaned over to take Mari’s pulse. In just a second, her eyes suddenly


    became cold.


    “Send her to the hospital.”


    Today, Paige went out in a hurry and did not bring a medical box. She could not save Mari on the


    spot, but she still pressed her vital body parts very quickly, which could slow the effect of the medicine.


    The two staff members immediately lifted Mari off the stage. The people around them were asking


    what was going on. Did Mari have some disease? How could she suddenly faint?


    Paige stood up and scanned the audience. Her cold voice came from the microphone pinned on her


    cor to everyone’s ears.


    “Seal off the venue. Someone poisoned her.”


    Her cold words suddenly made everyone present turn pale with fright.


    This was an internationalpetition. Who would dare to poison her openly?


    Mari was a contestant, and the person who wanted to drug her was most likely a contestant as


    well…


    Could it be that some contestant wanted to harm Mari?


    Everyone’s eyes fell on the stage. Isabe, who was the most suspicious, immediately blurted out,


    “Why are you all looking at me? It’s not me. I won’t do such a thing…”


    Some people questioned why Paine suddenly concluded that Mari had been poisoned. What if she


    ate something wrong or was not feeling well?


    “Call the police.” Paige looked at the host on the side.


    The host was stunned.


    Call the police?


    It would bring ***to the industry. After all, it was an internationalpetition.


    Would thepetition be held smoothly in the future?


    “If we don’t call the police, will we investigate it ourselves? Will anyone believe us if we find out the


    murderer? Such an evildoer will **the industry if not punished.”


    The host looked at the organizers again. A person in charge nodded, and then he dared to take out his


    mobile phone to call the police.


    “Whether you’re at the venue or backstage, everyone should stand in ce and not go anywhere.”


    As soon as Paige finished speaking, someone raised his hand, expressing that he wanted to go to the


    bathroom. Paige directly said, “Not now.”


    The whole venue was silent.


    Paige looked too cold and powerful. Everyone didn’t dare to anger her as they were afraid that they


    would end up miserable.


    Hernan realized the seriousness of the matter and also knew what Paige was worried about. She


    wanted to stay and investigate the truth, but she was worried that Mari would go to the hospital


    alone. So, he gestured to Paige that he would go to the hospital first.


    Paige nodded. After a while, the foreign police arrived.


    Everyone pointed at Paige. The police came to her and asked her why she was so sure that


    Mari had been poisoned.


    “Because she was poisoned with HN2C. It is a colorless and odorless poison that has just hit the


    market recently.”
