Chapter 394 Being Targeted
Impressed by her ideas, Hernan couldn’t help but ask, “So you’re okay if she poisoned you after the competition?”
“Yes, I would rather ***of pain after the competition and pass out from the pain. I don’t want to embarrass myself in the competition…” Mariela cried and rubbed her face against his clothes.
Then, she even sobbed, “Your clothes smell good…”
After saying that, Mariela suddenly froze. She couldn’t believe that she was holding Hernan in her arms, crying, and wiping her tears on his clothes.
At this time, Paige opened the door of the ward and saw Mariela and Hernan. She revealed a faint smile.
“Ah, no… It’s not what you think…”
Mariela did not expect that she would do such a crazy thing. She quickly released her hand and desperately explained to Hernan, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lusk, I’m really sorry… I didn’t mean to. Take off your clothes, and I will wash them for you when we get back…”
“No need.”
Mariela tugged at his clothes, unable to pull them off. She even wanted to ***. She used her hand to wipe the tears on Hernan’s clothes. “I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Her voice became softer, and Mariela was still muttering to herself, “I didn’t mean to hug you just now…”
Paige leaned against the door and asked leisurely, “Do you still want the trophy?”
Hearing this, Mariela froze.
Mariela wanted to rush over and take the trophy.
“Be careful.” Hernan grabbed Mariela’s hand. There was still a needle on the back of her hand. If she rushed. over like this, she would definitely pull the needle.
Mariela suddenly realized something, and her face turned red..
Hernan hurriedly released her hand. He was so anxious that he actually grabbed Mariela’s hand.
Paige watched them with great interest and walked slowly towards them, breaking their dilemma.
“See what this is!”
“The third place? Paige! Does it come from your sympathy? I’m already like that, yet I’m the third winner…” Mariela’s eyes lit up.
“You only modified the hemline in the third match, but it’s good overall. In addition, you scored more in the previous two matches.”
Therefore, it was reasonable for Mariela to get third place.
“Really? I got the trophy on my own?” Mariela excitedly hugged Paige.
Paige looked at the back of her hand. Fortunately, the needle wasn’t pulled out. “Well, the other judges have also scored. The score is very real.”
Paige was pressed against her face and could only say, “Relax. Are you going to strangle me?”
“Paige, I love you!” Mariela hugged Paige like an affectionate cat. Although Mariela could not win the championship, she was satisfied with third place.
“It’s just that… I didn’t manage to receive the trophy you handed over on the stage…”
“Then you can take it now,” Paige handed the trophy over and said seriously. “Contestant No. 1, Mariela, congratulations on obtaining the third place.”
Mariela smiled and bent down. She excitedly and respectfully received it. “Thank you, Master Quinn. Thank you for presenting the award to me.”
“Here, I’ve signed them.” Paige handed her a stack of photos, which were taken by the photographer when she commented on Mariela during the match today. There were more than ten photos in total.
***and Bones was an extremely terrifying mysterious organization. Some people said that they could control a major country for more than a hundred years. It was said that ****and Bones had planned many world-shaking events.
Simply put, this organization was much more terrifying than the Flame Gang led by Paige, and they had a different nature.
“Also, ****Base has their eyes on you.” The person on the phone seemed to be very anxious. “In addition, people from T3 Research Institute are also looking for you…”
T3 Research Institute was a terrifying medical organization. It would research many terrible viruses and conduct experiments on old people and children. People who were targeted by this institute would either serve the institute or be killed. No one could escape.
“I will be careful.” When Paige said this, she suddenly noticed that there were more than a dozen people coming downstairs in a hurry. At a glance, she could tell that they were up to no good.
“Boss, I’ll take a few people to escort you back. At least we can take the bullet for you…”
After all, those who had their eyes on Paige today were all hard to deal with.
“No need. I have something to deal with. I’ll hang up first!”
“What? Boss…”
Before the man could finish speaking, Paige hung up the phone directly. She entered the ward, and Mariela was suddenly overjoyed, “Paige, have you finished your call? Let’s take a few more pictures…”
“I have something to deal with now. We can take pictures later. Hernan, send Mari back to America, now.”
“Now?” Hernan was a little confused. Mariela still had two bottles of IV drip left, but Paige was in such a hurry to let them leave. Hernan was afraid that something had happened.
“Yes, the private plane is the fastest way to leave. I have something to do, so I have to go first.”
“Wait, didn’t you say that you would go to our company to take a look?” Hernan asked softly.
“Next time.” after saying that, Paige left the ward without hesitation.
