Chapter 391 Someone Poisons Her
Mariela still remembered the day of her father’s death. On Mount Rally, her cousin, Jessie, had poured ***and paint on her father’s grave. Jessie even wanted the bodyguards to sully her and haer mother. It was Paige who saved them…
Afterward, Paige also bandaged her mother’s wounds and rented her house to them at a cheap price. To prevent them from having any psychological burdens, Paige even told them that the house was her friend’s.
In the past, Nigel had bullied her a lot. He said that she had been absent for no reason and accused her of plagiarism. But Paige would help her find out the truth and clear her innocence.
Paige also encouraged her to participate in a national fashion competition and be her assistant. Paige accompanied her when she blazed her way forward.
If not for Paige, she would be an unknown designer.
“Thank you so much. It’s great to know you,” Mariela said in earnest.
No one knew that she was thanking Paine, who was the judge. They thought that she was just thanking a friend.
Paige’s gaze became even more gentle. She wondered, ********girl, there is no need to thank me.
When Mariela finished expressing her gratitude, the other two also made a speech. Soon, the third round of the competition began.
The six models came on stage wearing the same dress and requested the six contestants to modify the six dresses into the most stunning style they thought they could do.
There was only one requirement. That was they couldn’t take off the dresses and could only modify them on the models.
This was too simple for Mariela. Countless styles flashed through her mind, and soon, she began to modify the dress.
Hernan handed the snacks provided by the organizers to Paige. Seeing that she did not eat them, he gave her some snacks that he had brought privately. They were to her usual tastes. He even asked someone to make a cup of coffee for Paige.
“I brought the coffee beans. Try it.”
Paige didn’t expect that Hernan would bring the coffee beans…
She picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted mellow and fragrant. She nodded. “It tastes good.”
“I still have some in my car. You can bring some back.” As Hernan spoke, his eyes remained on the stage.
“Yes.” Paige’s eyes were also fixed on the stage. She found that Mariela’s movements were getting slower and slower, as if she had met something tricky.
“Something is wrong with Mari.” Hernan also noticed that. Although Mariela’s back was facing the audience as she was modifying the dress on the model, her hands stopped from time to time. It was too frequent.
At this time, the model standing in front of Mariela noticed her strangeness and whispered, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Mariela didn’t know why, but her stomach was getting more and more painful. The key was that she didn’t eat anything backstage and didn’t even drink a mouthful of water. Could it be that she had a loose bowel after having breakfast?
“Your face has turned pale.”
Not only did her face turn pale, but even her lips also turned a little pale.
“Why don’t you tell the host?” the model suggested.
“No need.” It wasn’t easy for her to enter the third round. If she stopped midway, all her efforts would be in vain.
It didn’t matter if she was laughed at, but what she represented now was her country.
The two American contestants who had participated with her had already been knocked out. She was the only American representative left.
The model couldn’t bear to see her grit her teeth and persist.
Paige sensed something from the model’s expression. She wondered, Mari should be uncomfortable and is still persevering.
“Do you want me to get the staff to ask about her condition?” Hernan asked Paige softly.
“No need! She knows what to do.”
