Natalie murmured in acknowledgment. Without another glance at Lucy, Natalie turned on her heels and followed

Lina into the competition hall.

Meanwhile, still rooted to the same spot, Lucy felt coldness in her hands and legs. As though she was frozen, she

couldn't get her feet to take a step.

What should I do? Should I continue to compete or leave? I won't have to be scared about Natalie calling the police

on me if I leave. At least, that is what my rationale is telling me. However, I'll lose the opportunity to be a fashion

designer like Natalie once I leave, and I won't get to impress Shane. That will only stack up the odds against me

ever being with Shane. However, Natalie won't drop this matter if I stay, and prison will await me at the end of the

day.

The options were warring inside Lucy's mind, leaving her in a state of loss.

Time ticked by, and the competition would begin in another ten minutes.

In the end, Lucy chewed on her lip, shut her eyes, and inhaled a deep breath, settling on a decision. She decided to

continue competing.

I'll lose the chance to impress Shane and be a fashion designer if I leave. On the other hand, I'll still stand a chance

to achieve my goals if I stay. I'll be safe as long as I make a move before Natalie and Lina. Hence, I'm going to stay

and compete.

Lucy tightened her fists and took a determined step toward the competition hall.

In the hall, Natalie and Lina had already sat in their respective seats.

Lina swept her gaze over the participants, and it finally landed on Lucy's empty seat. “Nat, do you think Lucy will

continue to compete after our threat?”

Hearing Lina's question, Natalie raised her head and glanced at Lucy's empty seat. With a smirk, she said, “She

will.”

“How are you so sure?” Lina was surprised by the certainty in Natalie's tone.

Natalie nodded. “Of course. Even though I'm not that close to Lucy, I have a basic understanding of her after a few

encounters with her. She possesses an extreme obsession with Shane as he is the most outstanding man she has

ever seen. He ticks all her boxes of a perfect husband, so I'm confident she'll continue to compete for Shane's sake.

After all, she'll only have the chance to impress him if she comes back.”

“Impress him? Mr. Thompson doesn't even look at her,” Lina jeered.

Natalie smiled. “Yeah, everyone knows Shane will never like Lucy, and they can see the type of person she is.

However, Lucy remains delusional and oblivious to reality.”

“That's right on point.” Lina nodded. “I think Lucy has read too much romance fiction about CEOs or billionaires, so

she keeps imagining that a CEO would actually fall for an average girl like her. As a matter of fact, that's why she

thought Mr. Shane would fall in love with her since she'd saved him once. After all, there are too many similar plots

in those s.”

Natalie snickered. “Right.”

“And that's not all. Lucy also thought Mr. Thompson would finally notice her once she became a fashion designer. I

wonder where she gets her confidence from. I fear she has watched too many cliche s and deluded herself

into thinking she was one of the female leads. After all, won't the female leads land themselves in the male leads'

good graces even if they are merely average Joes in the s? One more thing, Nat. I am almost eighty percent

sure that Lucy also sees Mr. Thompson as the male lead and you the evil female antagonist.”

Lina burst into another bout of laughter at her own speculation.

Natalie shook her head in resignation. “Enough. I don't care about so-called male leads and evil female antagonists.

I only know that a person who's immersed in her own world and unwilling to face reality will never have the chance

to win against me.”

“You're right,” Lina agreed with a nod.

Natalie was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of the woman in question out of the corner of her

eyes. Her lips curved into a smirk. “Look over there. She's back.”

Lina followed the direction in which Natalie had jerked her chin and saw Lucy. “You're right again. She truly is back

for her own downfall. Let's grant her wish if that's the case.”
