After Natalie chatted with the children for a while, she asked them to hand the phone to Shane.

The children knew their parents had things to say to each other. Thus, they unwillingly handed the phone to Shane.

Shane took the phone, patted the children's heads, and aimed the camera at himself. “Was it tiring today?”

Natalie shook her head with a smile. “Not at all. We're the judges, not the participants, so we didn't need to

concentrate that hard or stress about the competition. We just sat there and waited for the participants to hand in

their work.”

“That's good. Don't tire yourself too much,” he replied gently.

“Mhm. Don't worry, Darling. I got this. What about you? I can see there's a bit of black under your eyes. Did you get

so busy for the past two days that you didn't sleep well?”

“I wasn't busy. I only look haggard because you aren't by my side.” He stared at her intently.

Natalie didn't know how she should respond to that. “Do you miss me that badly?”

“Mhm.” Shane nodded. “If I could, I would keep you by my side all the time, but I know that's not right. You're

someone who wants to develop your career and needs freedom. If I put a shackle on you, it'll destroy you. Besides,

I like how confident you look when you work.”

She blushed upon hearing her husband's praises. “Thank you, Darling, for supporting me.”

After all, many rich men were chauvinists. Not only that, but they were also very controlling.

They wanted to have absolute power and control over their wives, including their thoughts, actions, and freedom.

In their minds, they wanted their wives to only be capable of spending money and staying home. They wanted

women who could only survive by depending on them instead of strong and independent women.

In fact, those men would feel ashamed if their wives had their own careers or were as capable as them.

Natalie was glad that her husband wasn't that kind of person.

When her train of thought ended there, she let out a wry smile. “Oh yeah, do you know what Lucy did today?”

Shane answered plainly, “I'm not interested.”

“I know you're not, but I want to tell you about it anyway.”

“Go ahead, then.”

Natalie smiled mockingly. “In order to qualify for the next round of the competition, she deliberately combined

many designers' work together, creating an abomination.”

“You should disqualify her immediately.” Shane didn't hide the disdain in his tone at all.

“Can't do that for now.” She shrugged. “It's because the first round of the competition does not eliminate

participants but groups them into teams instead. We can't disqualify any participants yet, so she's staying for now.

Still, there'll be plenty of chances for me to disqualify her later on. After all, I can't allow her to stay in the

competition while she keeps plagiarizing other people's work. It'll be unfair to the other participants.”

Lucy wasn't an idiot. She only plagiarized excellent works because she didn't really know that much about designing

and wanted to get a higher ranking.

Thus, if she got a better ranking through the use of plagiarized work, she would be causing innocent participants to

be disqualified.

It would be really unfair to the other participants.

On the contrary, if those participants were defeated by Lucy's own work, that would be perfectly fine.

However, using plagiarized work as her own to take down others was unacceptable.

That was why Natalie would do her best to kick Lucy out in the next round of the competition.

“I see.” Shane nodded in understanding. “Then just do what you think is the best.”

“Mhm.” Natalie nodded too.

They chatted for a while longer before ending the call.

After all, it was about time for the children to hit the bed, and he needed to tell them bedtime stories to put them to

sleep.

He also knew that she was on the way back to the villa, so he wanted her to rest early since she was going to get

busier the next day.
