To avoid any suspicion, Zara did not stay at the Shurmer residence these past few days. Instead, she settled in a high-end hotel temporarily.
This morning, Bailey had a phone call with her, teasing her to dress up a little more attractively. Who knew, she might just snag a wealthy husband.
Today, the match had attracted the upper-class society of Hallsbay. Many ladies had brought their sons along to join in the fun.
If Zara could truly win over those young masters with her charm, she wouldn't have to travel aimlessly for the rest of her life. Having a home, and a man who cherished her was what a woman truly needed.
At the time she said these words, she had even managed to irritate Zara to the point of exasperation, causing the former to hang up the phone on her directly.
It was less than three hours since their conversation when Bailey received the news of her mishap. Bailey's immediate reaction was that someone was plotting something against Zara.
Can there really be so many coincidences in this world?
Nothing happened to her until now. Even a fool could tell that someone was deliberately targeting her.
Besides, it was clear as day who this person was.
Melanie had suddenly gone silent after the previous incident at the Shurmer residence a few days ago. There was not even a hint of activity. It looked like she was waiting for the right time to strike.
It was a clever move to take drastic action. With Zara participating in the competition, they targeted her specifically, aiming to take her out with a single blow.
After all, if anything were to happen to Zara, causing her to withdraw from the competition, and if no one were to replace her, the Yrina family would automatically be deemed as withdrawal. In that case, the Strasson family would win without any effort.
“This Strasson family is truly despicable to discard even the most basic principles. I wonder how they've managed to survive all these years.”
After all, Juliana was Bailey's apprentice. Thus, she had some understanding of her connection with the Yrina family.
Seeing the Strassons treating the Yrinas this way now, she was so angry she could gnash her teeth.
“Bailey, some are just digging their own grave. Since they no longer wish to live a peaceful life, why not help them?”
“In this world, the existence of Strasson family makes no difference. If you ask me, we should just take them down, and make sure they never rise again.”
After the initial anxious state, Bailey became surprisingly calm.
She had already sent someone to the scene of the car accident, with instructions to bring Zara back first before anything else.
If the injury was too severe, she'd have to think of another solution.
“We must have solid evidence before we pin them. The incident happened so suddenly, it was not easy for us to prove that the Strasson family is responsible.”
“The most crucial thing right now isn't about paying back, we need to consider who will replace Zara if she can't participate in the competition.”
Although several Yrina family's embroiderers came along on this trip, their skills were not particularly exquisite. In fact, they were far inferior to Zara's.
Therefore, they stood no chance against Melanie.
Besides, Bailey absolutely wouldn't let Melanie win today.
Juliana blinked her eyes, smiling warmly. “Although I'm not sure about your connection with the Yrina family, I'm confident that your embroidery skills must be exquisite.”
“Bailey, since you've already revealed so many of your alter egos, one more won't make a difference. Why don't you just take over?”
Bailey glanced at her, noticing her eager anticipation for a drama to unfold. She couldn't help but sigh. “Ever since our relationship changed from master and disciple to brother and sister-in-law, you've become increasingly audacious in front of me.”
Uh...
With an awkward smile, Juliana quietly stepped back two steps. It looks like I have to hold my tongue.
At that moment, Zeke hurriedly walked in from outside, asking as he moved, “I just received news that Master Zara was in a car accident. What exactly happened?”
As far as he knew, Master Zara and his sister were very close, they should be good friends.
