Chapter 1093

“You’re welcome.” The staff bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Natalie closed the door behind her.

Taking the bag from Natalie, Lina said, “I heard what she said. Tina’s a good person. I wonder what
those two did to the contents of this bag.”

One of them stood in front of the chair and blocked it from view, so we couldn’t see what they were
doing.

“We’ll know once we take a look,” Sally piped up as she walked over. Her makeup was all done, and
she had put on the actual dress and jewelry. She stretched out a hand to reach into the bag.

Natalie quickly stopped her. “Wait!”

Sally withdrew her hand instinctively. “What’s the matter?”

Lina was also staring at Natalie.

Natalie pursed her lips. “Annette and Lacey may be targeting Lina and me, but the person who’s
supposed to wear the dress and jewelry is Sally. If they dropped some poisonous insects into the bag
or sprayed something that would cause skin irritation, you won’t be able to walk on the runway if you
touched it.”

When Lina heard that, she widened her eyes and nodded slowly. “She has a point. Don’t touch it, Sal.
They tampered with the dress and jewelry in this bag because they thought that’s what you’re going to
wear. I’m sure they intended to prevent you from walking the runway or for something to happen to you
on the runway. If that happened, Natalie and I wouldn’t be able to get high marks, and we’d get
eliminated.”



“They’re simply too wicked!” Sally fumed.

Natalie massaged her temples. “All right, now’s not the time to get angry. Lina, it’s almost time. Take
Sal backstage and get ready for the show. I’m going to take this to Shane and ask him to have
someone take a look at it.”

“Okay.” Lina nodded.

Thus, the three of them split up.

Carrying the bag, Natalie went to the lounge to look for Shane and the kids.

They had been secretly spying on the dressing room for the female models, so it would not have been
convenient for Shane to be there. Hence, he could only wait in the lounge with Connor and Sharon.

Natalie hurried toward the lounge.

When she arrived, the bodyguard keeping watch outside the lounge opened the door for her at once.

The first thing she saw was the kids lying on the couch, fast asleep. Meanwhile, Shane and Silas were
discussing something. Shane was seated while Silas stood next to him. As soon as they saw her enter,
they stopped talking.

“Madam,” Silas greeted with a nod.

Natalie smiled in response.

Shane got up and led her to where he was seated. “Why are you here? Isn’t the show about to start?”

“We caught some people up to no good on the cameras,” Natalie replied.

His eyes narrowed. “Who?”



“Annette and Lacey. They tampered with the dress and jewelry we deliberately left on a chair. However,
due to the angle of the camera, we couldn’t see what they did. We also didn’t dare to take the things
out of the bag just in case there was something poisonous. That’s why I brought it here, thinking that
you could get someone to run some tests on it.”

With that, Natalie placed the bag on the table.

Shane looked at Silas, who nodded immediately. “Got it. I’ll get someone to conduct some tests.”

“Hold on,” Natalie called out.

Silas halted in his tracks. “Is there anything else you need?”

“Why don’t you send someone else to do it? The show is going to begin soon. It’s Sal’s first show since
the two of you started dating, so I’m sure you don’t want to miss it. Am I right?” Natalie glanced at the
camera hanging around his neck with a half-smile.

Shane arched a brow. Ah, I see.

He had wondered why Silas had a camera with him, but since he rarely pried into the personal affairs
of others, he did not think much about it.

Not expecting Natalie to see through him, Silas scratched his head shyly. His face even turned red.

Natalie chuckled lightly. “Get someone else to do the job, then go and watch the show. Sal will be the
last one to go on, so you probably won’t miss it.”
