Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 203

Heidi responded, "Of course!"

Celine didn't say much but turned to the audience. "Please wait. We'll investigate this matter."

Heidi grew anxious. "What's there to investigate? Crochet process videos can be faked! Do none of you believe me?"

She was using Shirley Olson's name to pressure Celine into immediately disqualifying Janice. Heidi didn't think that Janice could possibly win an international award.

Simon strode forward, saying, "She's telling the truth! I can testify! Janice isn't capable of this. She must've bought the piece!"

If Janice embarrassed herself on an international stage, the shareholders of Refined Threads Co. would no longer support her, and he could take back control.

But Celine didn't question Janice. Instead, she quietly turned away, picked up her phone, and sent a message on WhatsApp to Shirley.

Since there were many Cruznian seamstresses in the international competition, Celine specially downloaded WhatsApp to stay in contact with them.

Celine: "Ms. Olson, are you really at the venue?"

She sent the message and then glanced at Heidi from afar.

A reply came through, but Heidi hadn't even touched her phone.

Celine looked down at Shirley's response. "She's a fake. But don't expose me."

Celine instantly felt reassured. Putting down her phone, she stepped forward and addressed the crowd, "I'm Celine Harper, the vice president of the International Crochet Union. The most important principle of this competition is fairness and justice. We can't disqualify a contestant just because someone is questioning their work—regardless of who they are."
