Chapter 1444
If it was another day, Lucy might have argued with Natalie.
However, not only did she not rebut Natalie, but she even smiled. “I''m fine with being rude. After all, I
don''t need to be polite to you. Natalie, I know that you''re going to expose me while I''m submitting the
work so that I''ll be kicked out of thepetition. Am I right?”

Surprise shed past Natalie''s eyes.
Lina, on the other hand, blurted out, “You actually managed to guess that?”
“Ha! Not only did I guess that, but I even know that you''re trying to send me to jail.” Lucy knitted her
brows and scowled. “But, I''m going to tell you now that it''s going to fail. You''re not going to be able to
pull that off!”
Lina lifted a brow at Lucy''s confident expression. “Oh? Are you sure about that?”
“That''s right. You won''t get the chance to do that.” With that said, Lucy shot Natalie and Lina a gleeful
grin before walking past the two and entering the clubhouse.
Natalie frowned. “She seems like she has some kind of n.”
“I think so too.” Lina nodded.
The two then began discussing as they watched Lucy''s retreating figure disappear from their lines of
sight.
“Nat, what do you think she''s nning to do?” Lina turned to look at Natalie.
Natalie pursed her red lips. “I don''t know, but she said that she''s not going to let us seed and even
said that we won''t get the chance to execute our n. Therefore, I think that it''s highly likely she''s
going to get the rich individual backing her up to contact the organizer of thepetition and kick us
out of thepetition. That''s the only way the two of us won''t be able to expose her.”
“Indeed.” Lina nodded as she mulled over Lucy''s words. “Still, she has made the wrong move. No
matter how powerful the one supporting her is, they will be no match for Mr. Thompson. Hence, I doubt
the organizer would help the rich guy who is backing her.”
“That''s right.” Natalie nodded.
At that, Lina barked out a disdainfulugh. “Lucy''s joy is going to be short-lived, huh?”
“Perhaps not.” Natalie narrowed her eyes.
Lina dropped the smile and promptly asked, “What do you mean, Nat?”
“Kicking us out of thepetition won''t stop us from exposing her for her giarism—even if she
manages to kick us out of thepetition, we can still publicize the matter or just go straight to Design
Association to report her. We have plenty of ways to do this, and she won''t be able to stop us at all.
That''s why I''m guessing that she''s going to find another way to stop us instead of merely kicking us out
of thepetition.”
Lina widened her eyes. “That sounds possible. What will she try to do then?”
Natalie shook her head. “I don''t know, but I feel anxious.”
“Anxious?” Lina frowned.
Natalie hummed in response. “Yes. I feel particrly anxious right now—as if something bad is going to
happen. But it''s fine. We''ll cross the bridge when we get to it; we''ll take one step at a time for now. Lina,
let''s head in first.”
“Okay,” Lina agreed.
That was all they could do.
The two entered the clubhouse and soon reached the hall thepetition was held in.
Natalie nced at Lucy before walking toward her seat.
Just as she sat down, she saw Lucy staring at her.
Lucy did not even bother hiding the traces of provocation, excitement, and glee in her eyes. In fact, she
even mouthed the words, You''re dead meat!
Natalie could read her lips.
After reading the message she was trying to convey, the anxiety in her heart grew more intense.
However, she did nothing but frown and look away from Lucy.
Meanwhile, the participant beside Lucy was the one who had been on good terms with Natalie
previously. When she saw the obvious hostile look in Lucy''s eyes that was directed at Natalie, her heart
lurched. She then asked in an unhappy tone, “Lucy, do you hate Ms. Smith?”
Natalie was her favorite celebrity, so she did not like seeing others treat Natalie in that way.
