Chapter 668 The Chosen Three
“Well, Lady Diane, I’m afraid it’s too late to change anything now,” Natalie said.
Diane sighed. “You’re right.”
Although there was no concrete evidence, she was of the view that Natalie knew more than just medicine.
Natalie smiled but did not utter any word.
She understood that Diane was a principled person. The latter would not temper with the results of the lucky draw just to get her to perform in the talent show. Besides, there was a huge crowd, and the odds of getting chosen were highly unlikely.
However, the fact that Diane was playing a fair game didn’t mean that the others would do the same.
At the moment, a man dressed in a green vest had accepted a cheque from Jacquelin backstage.
“Ms. Lancaster, this is really a lot for what you’ve entrusted me to do,” said the man. However, it was clearly not genuine as he continued to count the banknotes happily.
“Money is not the issue. What matters to me is that you finish the job.” Jacqueline crossed her arms and instructed, “I hope everything will go according to plan.”
“Yes, of course. I understand. I’ll make sure to do it perfectly.”
“Good.” With that, Jacqueline strode off gracefully in her dress.
When she returned to the event hall, Cassidy asked curiously, “Jacqueline, where did you go?”
“I’m preparing for what’s coming. Ther’s going to be an interesting show later…” said Jacqueline. “I’ve bribed the staff backstage to ensure that Natalie will be chosen. When that happens, we’ll be able to witness Natalie making a fool out of herself on stage!”
“You…”
“I can’t stand her being in the limelight.” Jacqueline pursed her lips. “She may be better at pleasing Lady Diane, but I don’t think that she’s better than me when it comes to a talent show.”
