“This is too much! They’ve gone too far!” Lina was so furious that her whole body was shaking. Gritting her teeth, she added, “It must be Jayson!”
“Nope, not him. That’s undoubtedly a lady’s hand. Tina is right; many others want to get rid of us other than Jayson. After all, we’re potential candidates for topping the competition. The others will gain a higher standing once they root us out.” Natalie narrowed her eyes as she analyzed.
During the earlier stages of the competition, everyone was on good terms and no one enlisted any dirty tactics other than Jasmine.
But as they progressed into the finals, many began to reveal their cunning selves.
Though many times it was Sean and Jacqueline trying to sow discord, Natalie believed that there were contestants who would still act that way even without their instigation.
Essentially, no competitions in the world would ever progress amicably. It was more than normal for humans to harbor evil thoughts and even allow the darker side to take over their minds and ultimately resort to unscrupulous methods to achieve their wants.
“Let’s wait and see. I won’t let the culprits get away with it once I find out their identity,” Lina muttered with bloodshot eyes.
Natalie rubbed her eyes in exhaustion. Oh gosh, troubles never come singly.
With Sean and Jacqueline’s departure, she thought she could finally enjoy some peace. Yet, there came another series of problems for her.
“Nat, what do we do now? We’ll really get eliminated if we can’t provide our blueprints for submission!” Lina bit her lip as she directed her gaze at Natalie, hoping that the latter would have a solution to it.
Natalie patted Lina’s hand as she assured, “Don’t worry. Remember we’ve scanned our blueprints into the computer after completion for backup? I’ll call Shane and ask him to send me the scans now. Then all we have to do is to go and print them out for submission.”
Hearing that, Lina calmed down and put on a smile on her face. “That’s great! I almost forgot about that. Hurry, Nat. Call Mr. Shane now. I can’t wait to see the reactions of the culprits! I’m sure they’ll be shocked to see that we can submit our works on time!”
They knew that the culprit would surely have a change in expression as long as their motive was not achieved.
All they had to do was to be attentive to everyone’s expression to find the answer.
Natalie hummed in response and fished out her phone to call Shane.
