Chapter 121
In a matter of moments, everyone had fallen and was lying on the ground. This included Tiffany. She
alsoid in suffering on the ground, hugging her stomach weakly while screaming, “It hurts… It hurts so
much. Please help…” That pitiful voice and her forehead covered in sweat did not look like an act.
The organizers reacted quickly. Mr. Dalmore loudly ordered,“ Stop the music! Doctor! Call the doctors!”
The background music stopped and the assistants reorganized the stage so that all the tforms
originally set at different heights were now uniform.
The first thing Charmine did was to walk toward the model lying closest to her and kneel down beside
her. It was Eunice! Eunice was curled into a ball on the ground but when she saw Charmine walking
toward her, all she wanted was for Charmine to get lost! However, Eunice was so crippled with pain
that she could not speak.
Charmine knelt down and reached out her hand to touch Eunice’s forehead and feel her pulse.
Eunice’s assistant saw Charmine’s actions and immediately moved up to push her away, sneering, “Do
you think you’re a doctor? Stay away from my Eunice!”

Charmine was pushed while kneeling. Because of this, she lost her bnce easily and fell to the
ground. However, she did not seem to mind as she sat there, one leg bent and her hand strewn
carelessly over her leg as she said, “There’s no need to worry, it’s only a case of acute food poisoning
caused by a type of halophilic bacteria. It’ll resolve on its own after 2 days.”
Aida could not understand a word that Charmine said. However seeing Charmine’s casual
countenance, she angrily spat out, “Looking at you now, you’re clearly not in pain. Can’t you see how
much they’re suffering?”
“Exactly. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, you should hold your tongue. Don’t pretend to be
all knowledgeable.” Kelly’s assistant joined in to scold Charmine a s well. Everyone there did not have
a good impression of Charmine.
In a short amount of time, Anthony had sorted things out with the organizers, arranging for the
audience to leave the area. H e gazed in Charmine’s direction and said to Nial, “Go check on them
immediately.” (This Novel Daily Latest Chapters provide it .InfoBagh.Com)
“It’s not my sister-inw who’s sick. What are you worrying about? Don’t you have other doctors for
this?” Nial stood and teased. Even though he was a doctor, he rarely attended to patients personally.
Anthony rebutted by saying, “It’s exactly because she’s not sick which makes the matterplicated.”
Nial was stunned. He appeared to understand Anthony’s concern and immediately rushed forward to
check on each supermodel. After he took a history of their symptoms, Nial said with a solemn face, “It’s
a case of acute food poisoning
caused by a type of halophilic bacteria.”
As this was the second time Aida had heard that phrase, she asked curiously, “What do you mean
when you say ‘halophilic bacteria’?”
“Halophilic bacteria is also known as vibrio parahaemolyticus. It’s a kind of bacteria that can cause
severe pain in the upper abdomen and diarrhea. It is a gram-negative polymorphic bacillus. The best
medium to support its growth is a medium containing three percent salt, and it can survive for more
than forty-seven days in seawater.
“Because of this, it is used as a poison in some ck markets because it’s tasteless and can be stored
easily. It does not endanger human life but can cause extreme pain,” Nial said with an air of expertise.
Everyone was surprised at his words. “That means that the matter is not as simple as food poisoning
from eating spoiled food, but that we were deliberately poisoned?”
“Who… Who would poison so many of us?”
“We’ve not eaten much today…”
The models were allying in their assistants’ arms as they discussed the issue weakly. At this
moment, Kelly eximed,“ We all ate straw… Strawberries…”
Strawberries!
“That’s right, Faye brought us strawberries…”
“But all of us ate the strawberries, so why is Charmine alright?” Veronica Ramos asked in a faint voice.

All eyes in the roomnded upon Charmine. In that moment of chaos, all the models were in so much
pain that their faces were contorted uglily, some even crying. However, Charmine alone looked
untouched and unperturbed as she sat in a casual manner.
Tiffany’s face went white with fear as she swiftly turned toward Veronica to say, “Veronica, don’t spread
nonsense! It can’t be my sister. I know that we’ve had our differences but she would never do
something like this!”
“You’re right…” responded Veronica meekly.
Nevertheless, all the other models had already heard what was said by Veronica and their suspicions
grew. Kelly red at Charmine and said, “Charmine, it was you… You’re the one who did it! Am I right?
It’s because we bullied you as a group, that’s why you hate us and want revenge!”
