Chapter 1320
Wendy and everyone else who had ever crossed paths with Chloe had their reasons for failing. Chloe appeared to
be simple on the surface, but inside, she was a whole different ball game.
“So, were you guys pulling my leg?” He asked, staring at the bagpipe in Chloe’s hand. Looking back, he
remembered Chloe holding the bagpipe right before Katie started to feel sick. Was it a signal?
Catching Jacob’s gaze, Chloe raised an eyebrow and twirled the bagpipe. She put it to her lips and blew a loud note,
as if answering Jacob’s question.
“I thought you were self–confident, that you could win the championship on your own. But it turns out you’re a
fraud, resorting to dirty tricks. I’ve overestimated you.” Jacob clenched his teeth, his taut face betrayed his fear.
“You’re just guessing that the car accident and the mercury poisoning are connected to me. What gives you the
right to accuse me?”
Chloe smirked, her eyes clear, but her smile was full of sarcasm and sharp edges. “Just like you diagnosed our
model with mercury poisoning. Whether it’s you or not…I really don’t know. I’m just asking questions, Mr. Jacob.”
Just like a police investigation. You needed to file a case first before you could investigate. All she needed to do was
raise questions, the rest, someone else would
1. do.
Hearing Chloe’s words, Jacob’s jaw tightened, his teeth grinding together.
“Isn’t it obvious? Without any evidence, he claimed that the model’s makeup water and lotion had excessive
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmercury. How could it not be related to him?” “Yeah, he even claimed there was something wrong with the model’s
face, but it turns out the model had prepared another makeup box. It’s clear that someone tampered with the
original one!”
“Exactly, didn’t they find excessive mercury in the other box?”
“But Beverly’s makeup today was stunning. Despite Mr. Jacob’s unique style and makeup skills, why would he do
such a thing?“,
Jacob stood on stage, his face darkening at the barrage of questions.
The Baines family sitting below cried out, “Chloe, don’t just slander people to win the competition. Do you know how
important reputation is to others? It’s immoral to defame others, you know?”
“So accusing our model of mercury poisoning isn’t defamation?” Chloe retorted calmily, her voice dripping with
sarcasm.
Laurel from below looked a bit embarrassed. “We’re at a makeup competition, not a place for you to spout
nonsense…”
“Alright, let’s talk about the competition then. Host, announce how many points Miles‘ work got?”
The host looked a bit troubled, glanced at Jacob, and then said, “The public’s overall score is…out of 50 points…so
Miles‘ total score is 100!”
“100! No doubt he’s the champion this year!“.
“Wow, Miles won the championship on his first try! Amazing!”
“But the red bride’s look is truly beautiful. She definitely deserves the championship.”
The crowd erupted into applause, chanting “the most beautiful bride.”
Hearing the results, Jacob’s sneered. “So superficial! It’s just gimmicks, and you’re all worshipping it blindly? Are
you sure you’re not being led by the nose?” Jacob’s angry words echoed through the venue, plunging it into silence.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly searching for the person Jacob accused of stirring the pot. But after
observing Katie and Beverly, they all furrowed their
brows.
“Blind worship? We do have our own aesthetic taste!”
“So Mr. Jacob means, if we find anything but his work beautiful, we’re superficial!”
“How interesting, are we only allowed to like his work?”
“Mr. Jacob, are you questioning our judgment?”
The judges‘ faces darkened, leaving Jacob at a loss for words. “I didn’t mean…”
Beverly watched Jacob, who was clearly out of control and helpless on stage. Her face was pale and her gaze
drifted to Miles, who was comforting Katie. Her eyes trembled fiercely.
Wendy had already stood up, staring at Jacob on stage, almost unable to breathe. Such a good competition, ruined
by him!
“What the hell? Weren’t you supposed to win the championship 100%?!” Before Wendy could get angry, Becky’s
voice suddenly rang out.
Wendy pursed her Kps, “That was the plan, just that Miles…but Jacob knew the competition theme in advance…”
Becky was almost pissed to death, and she couldn’t help but scream, “He knew the competition theme in advance
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand still lost?! How bad is Jacob?!”
“Becky!” Wendy tried to stop her, but it was too late. All she could do was blame Becky for being a complete idiot!
Becky’s soream caught everyone’s attention.
“What? What did I just hear? Did Jacob…know the competition theme in advance?!”
“You heard right…”
“Oh my God, no wonder his work was so impressive, he prepared in advance!”
But did Becky have time to care about all this? “Jacob was so sure before, saying that the triple crown was his. Is
this his triple crown?!”
The host looked at the chaotic scene and quickly said, “Congratulations to Miles for winning this year’s makeup
competition, and also congratulations to Mr. Jacob for winning the runner–up, and…”
“Hold on!”
Someone hollered out in the crowd, followed by a line of people cutting through the throng and heading straight for
Jacob on the stage. “Mr. Jacob, we got a tip–off that you’re suspected of instigating others to poison your
competitor’s cosmetics, and of intentionally causing car accidents. We’ve got some preliminary evidence. so we’re
hoping you’ll cooperate with our investigation…
“The event manager just came clean to us. He took your bribe and sold you the theme info. We’ve got solid proof,
and we’re hoping you’ll cooperate with us on this
too…”
The situation was moving so fast that even Chloe was struggling to keep up. She thought that things would settle
down for a while, but boy, was she wrong. The situation escalated so quickly.
Who was behind this lightning–fast and spot–on response?
