Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1088

"It... it was my fault."

Isabella finally suppressed her overwhelming anger and grievance, gritting her teeth as she took the blame.

"It was you, Isabella!"

The other competitors were blinded by rage. Their futures had been ruined by Isabella. Nobody cared if she was the former heiress of the wealthy Lancaster family from Vaelion City.

They exploded, pointing fingers and hurling curses at her.

If the security team hadn't intervened to hold the crowd back.

Isabella would have undoubtedly been slapped repeatedly by the infuriated mob.

Bianca cowered behind her other teammates, watching the verbal assault on Isabella.

Her face grew paler by the second.

Just then.

In the distance, a beam of light suddenly pierced the darkness.

Against the backdrop of the dimming island.

That single ray of light stood out glaringly.

"There's... there's light over there..."

A competitor pointed, eyes wide. "Is... is that The Hope Initiative's lab?"

"Why does The Hope Initiative have power?"

"Does the Apex Research Hub not share the same grid as us?"

Hearing this, Bianca's eyes lit up.

Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?

She immediately raised her voice. "Impossible, the whole island shares one grid."

"Everyone's power is out except for Serena's lab."

"I have a very reasonable theory!"

Bianca pointed at Adrian. "They're in on it together!"

"Everyone knows Adrian came here for Serena! He deliberately gave us that equipment to sabotage the island's power and destroy everyone's data!"

Inside the Apex Research Hub.

Lydia Brooks stared at the smoothly running data on the screen, muttering, "Captain, what just happened? Isn't this a premier research facility? How could the power just go out?"

"Thank goodness the Captain reacted so quickly and saved our data," Vanessa Vance said, patting her chest in lingering shock.

Suddenly, her hand froze.

Her gaze locked onto the floor-to-ceiling windows. "Whoa! Why are there so many people outside?"

The team looked up.

Outside the window, a sea of people was gathered.

"Are those... competitors from the other teams?" Caleb Sommers asked, adjusting his glasses.

Why would the other competitors surround their lab?

Could it be...

Because of the blackout?
