Chapter 1430


    When Lucy heard the participant praising Natalie and Lina, she clenched her fists as her expression


    darkened.


    However, she thought of something after a while and asked the participant, “Hold on. Did you say that


    Ms. Natalie and Ms. Cohen belong to the same team?”


    “That''s right.” The participant nodded. “Don''t you know that? The arrangements of the teams are


    posted on the notice board. They are on the same team. In fact, they are very close friends.”


    Friends!


    Lucy''s expression changed at once.


    I can''t believe Ms. Cohen and Natalie are actually friends.

    Earlier on, she thought that Lina was concerned about her being nervous, and that was why thetter


    advised her to quit thepetition. However, after knowing about Lina''s rtionship with Natalie, she


    knew that was not the case.


    Why would a friend of Natalie''s be concerned about me?


    Furthermore, Natalie would have told her friend about my identity, so there is no way Ms. Cohen would


    have a good impression of me.


    When Ms. Cohen asked me to quit thepetition and warned me that I would regret it in the future if I


    did not do so, she was not merely talking about thepetition and certainly did not do it out of


    concern for me.


    It seems that Natalie and Ms. Cohen are ganging up on me. If I don''t quit now, they will intimidate me


    until I have no choice but to remove myself from thepetition. When that happens, I will be utterly


    embarrassed. By then, I will regret it, won''t I?


    With that thought in mind, Lucy started trembling with anger as she stared daggers at Natalie and Lina.


    When the participant saw the vicious look in her eyes, she became frightened and shut her mouth.


    God! This Lucy is so scary. She looks as if she is going to gobble someone up.


    Looking at the hateful way she''s ring at Ms. Smith and Ms. Cohen, is it possible that she has some


    grudges against them?


    The participant bit her lip and could not figure out the issue among the three of them. Nevertheless, she


    decided to stay away from Lucy.


    Lucy was unpredictable and vtile. To top it off, she was incapable of hiding her emotions. As far as


    the participant was concerned, Lucy was not someone she wanted to be friends with.


    On the judges'' panel, Lina found Lucy''s design.


    Initially, Lina was pretty sure that Lucy would not be able toe up with any design out of guilt and


    panic. Unexpectedly, she found that Lucy actually managed to produce a decent design.


    However, there seemed to be a trace of incoherence in her design.


    “Nat, take a look at this.” Lina handed Lucy''s design to Natalie.


    Natalie put down another designer''s work and looked at Lucy''s. A look of surprise shed across her


    eyes. “This was done by Lucy?”


    “Yes. It''s not bad at all,”mented Lina as she pointed at the ck dress.


    Natalie nodded in agreement. “You''re right, but it doesn''t seem to gel together.”


    “True.” Lina nodded when she heard Natalie''s remark. “At first nce, I found it decent, but upon closer


    inspection, I sensed ack of congruity in the design. Then again, I''m not a costume designer, so I can''t


    really tell what the problem is. Nat, tell me. What''s going on here?”


    “It''s easy. She has basically taken the various parts from other designs and put them together.” Natalie


    sneered as she put down Lucy''s design. She pointed at the sleeves and said, “These chiffon sleeves


    are designed by John. I have seen them in a magazine before. As for the cor, it''s designed by me.


    Tina is the one who designed the waist area.”


    When Lina finally understood what was going on, she rolled her eyes. “Oh my! She hasbined


    several designs from various designers. No wonder the whole design doesn''t seem to go together. I


    take my hat off to her. I can''t believe she has the audacity to giarize andbine other people''s


    designs and pass them off as hers. I''m speechless.”


    Natalie said sarcastically, “She has no other choice since she has no design in mind that suits the


    required style this time around. If she doesn''t do this, she won''t be able toe up with a design.


    Should she try to copy someone else''s design, she may get caught. That''s why she had tobine


    bits and pieces of other designs to pass this round.”


    Lina sighed and said, “Although I want to eliminate her, it''s not possible because this is a non-


    elimination round. We have no choice but to keep her for now.”
