Chapter 844

Chapter 844Initially, Jessie expected Natalie to be kicked out of the competition for being late. Out of her
expectation, the woman had managed to be back on time. Huh! Now that she has no clue about Sally's
whereabouts, it's definitely a twist! As long as Sally can't be back in time, she won't be able to do
anything. She will surely miss a boat this round!
She hung up blissfully and made her way back to the make-up room to apply make-up for Hannah.
Jessie was seemingly over the moon because of the sure bet that Natalie would be disqualified for
being late. Even Hannah could not dim Jessie's spirits.
In the meantime, Natalie continued calling Sally as she made her way toward the dressing room where
Shane and the kids were. Again, her model did not answer her calls. Right that instant, Natalie was
panic-stricken; she was sure that something must have befallen Sally.
“Connor.” Natalie knocked on the door of the dressing room.
The door opened within seconds, and Shane emerged at once. He raised his brows and asked
surprisingly, “Why are you here during the competition?”
“I don't have time to explain things. Where's Connor?” she asked hastily.
Shane stood aside and let her step in. “He's inside.”
Shane narrowed his eyes as Natalie stepped into the room hurriedly. Did anything happen? He closed
the door swiftly and followed her.

Connor was playing games with Sharon to kill time. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Natalie.
“Mommy!”Sharon climbed down from the sofa instantly and dashed toward Natalie. “Mommy, you're back! Can
we go home now?” Wrapping her arms around Natalie's legs, she asked excitedly.
Natalie stroked Sharon's hair affectionately. “Darling, we can't go home yet as the competition hasn't
ended. Just wait for a while more, okay?'
“Alright,” Sharon mumbled and lowered her head in disappointment.
Natalie patted her shoulder gently to console her daughter. “Darling, can you have your own fun for a
while? I have something to discuss with Connor.”
“Alright.” Sharon moved aside obediently.
Connor glanced at Natalie and asked inquisitively, “Mommy, what's it?”
“I need you to do me a favor,” Natalie replied.
Shane approached them and asked curiously, “What's the matter?”
“Sally is missing. I need Connor's help to trace her current location with her phone number. This is her
number.” She handed her cell phone to him. Connor took a look at the number and learned it by heart.
Next, he accessed a mysterious website directly with the cell phone and connected the satellite system
to trace her current location based on her phone number.
As long as Sally was having her phone with her, Connor would be able to track her no matter where
she was. Even so, Natalie was worried that Sally's cell phone was not by her side at the moment. She
gazed at Connor apprehensively with her hands clasped.
Shane wrapped his arms around Natalie and asked softly, “What happened? Sally is missing? How is
that possible?”As Natalie's model, I'm sure Sally knows the importance to comply with the dos and don'ts of the
competition. It doesn't make sense for her to go elsewhere impulsively without informing Natalie. It
seems that something terrible has befallen her.
Natalie rubbed her face wearily. “It's my fault. I went to the washroom right before the competition
started and ended up getting locked in the toilet. Someone was seemingly setting me up so I would be
disqualified for being late.”
“What?” Shane stiffened. I can't believe that actually happened!
Natalie let out a deep sigh and continued to explain, “I gave Sally a call and requested her to come to
my rescue. Someone had actually locked me from outside with a broom. After she got me out, I asked
for her help to get the fingerprints from the broom identified. Apart from that, I thought of finding out the
person who locked me up in the toilet. Thus, I reminded her to drop by the security room and have a
look at the security footage near the restroom. She has not come back since then.”
“I bet something must have happened to her,” Shane commented abruptly.
Natalie agreed and nodded. “I share the same sentiments as you.”
Initially, she assumed that Sally was not back yet from the fingerprint identification, but she thought
otherwise after giving the situation some thought.
