Chapter 1092
“She’s right,” Sally said, nodding.
Lina turned around and returned to her seat reluctantly.
Natalie unzipped the garment bag containing the actual dress meant for the runway. “All right, we’ll
start doing Sal’s makeup now. Lina, you’re in charge of doing her hair.”
Lina nodded. “Okay.”
While they went about with their preparations, Ate and Lacey nced at their watches over in the
dressing room.
“There are only fifteen minutes left before the show starts, but they’re not back yet. Aren’t they going to
come and get their dress?” Lacey sounded a little worried as she looked at the time.
Ate sipped her coffee calmly. “It doesn’t matter. Even if they don’t return before the show, that’s
good news for us too. If they’rete, they’ll get disqualified just the same!”
“That’s true,” Lacey answered, nodding.
At that moment, the door to the dressing room opened, and one of the staff walked in. “Sorry to
interrupt, but Ms. Natalie sent me. Her model took a tumble and is now at the infirmary, so she sent me
to take her dress and jewelry to the infirmary. They’ll be doing the model’s makeup there. May I know
where her things are?”

Upon hearing that, Ate and Lacey exchanged nces.
Lacey bit her lip and said in a frustrated tone, “They’re notte!”
Ate scoffed. “So what? Don’t forget that even if they’re notte, they’ll cest if their model
messes up on the runway, and they’ll end up getting eliminated.”
“Right. You’re right,” Lacey said with a smile. Then, pointing to the chair in front of her, she said to the
staff, “Her things are here.”
“Great. Sorry for interrupting!” the staff said with a smile and left after taking the bag.
Suddenly, Tina called out, “Wait!”
The staff stopped and looked at her questioningly.
Tina went over and said softly, “Tell Natalie and her friends that there might be something wrong with
the dress.”
The staff’s eyes glinted with realization. Then she smiled and nodded. “I understand. I’ll be on my way
then.”
“Of course,” Tina replied, stepping aside.
As Tina walked back to where she was sitting, Ate grabbed her arm. “What did you say to her just
now?”
Tina cast a sidelong nce at Ate’s hand, then shook her off expressionlessly. “Nothing.”
Ate opened her mouth to protest, but Lacey pulled her aside. “Forget it. Stop asking her about it.
We’ll only risk exposing ourselves if we ask too many questions.”
“Do you think she doesn’t suspect us?” Ate retorted with contempt.
Lacey stared at her, stunned. “Do you mean that she…”
“When we were tampering with the dress, I noticed that she kept looking over at us several times. I
suspect that she knows what we did.” Ate narrowed her eyes.
Ate’s answer made Lacey feel anxious. “What should we do?”
“There’s only one thing to do, and that’s to teach her a lesson. But not now. We’ll wait until after the
show,” Ate replied with a darkened expression.
Lacey nodded. “I suppose that’s the only way.”
She gazed at Tina, and an apologetic look shed across her eyes.
I never intended to harm Tina, since she’s much less skilled than me. But Natalie is a different story.
Her talent isparable to mine. I’d even say she’s way better than me. She’s also much younger.
Most importantly, her husband isn’t just a random nobody.
He has the power to influence thepetition organizer. If she gets him to pull some strings, the rest of
us won’t stand a chance of winning. Because of her capabilities and background, I have to take her
down. I have to stop her from using the resources she has to win. I believe that others would target her
for the same reasons.
Over in the room next door, the staff handed the bag to Natalie.
Just as Natalie was about to thank her, the staff repeated what Tina had said.
Natalie smiled. “All right, got it. Thanks for your help.”
