"No, no, no. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about what you and Lacey did to my dress and Lina's jewelry in the dressing room. You tried to humiliate our model on the runway and get us disqualified from the competition." Natalie raised her voice and looked at Annette and Lacey.

Annette's expression changed.

Lacey began to panic.

How could this happen? How did Natalie replace out about this?

The judges and audience watching the live stream were all stunned.

Mercede stood up from among the judges and asked sternly, "Nat, is that true?"

Everyone wanted to know the answer to this question.

Meanwhile, the reporters focused their cameras on Natalie, Lina, Annette, and Lacey.

Natalie remained calm. She nodded and said, "It's true. I have the security footage here. Everyone can see for themselves. I'll leave it to the host."

"Sure." The host nodded and pressed his earpiece to speak to someone in the studio.

Soon, a projection screen was lowered onto the runway, and a video played.

The video showed Annette and Lacey entering a dressing room. One of them was keeping watch while the other did what had to be done. Seeing this video, everyone knew that Natalie was telling the truth.

Annette's face went pale from fright. She did not bother to ask Natalie how she obtained the video but screamed, "Turn it off! Turn it off now!" Annette's reaction proved that the video was real.

Lacey was not as bold as Annette. When she saw the video, she slumped onto the floor and muttered dumbly, "We're doomed. It's all over!"

"Why should we turn it off? Isn't this your grand plan? We should let everyone witness it. After all, this is your rare chance of glory that only comes once. Reporters, why are you standing there? Take all the pictures you can. This news is more than enough to meet your performance target!" Natalie shouted.

Her words triggered the reporters to act.

They quickly rushed to snap photos and bombarded Annette and Lacey with questions after questions. There was nowhere for Annette and Lacey to hide.

Lina crossed her arms. "My goodness, the reporters here are crazier than the ones in our country."

Natalie smiled. "These reporters have ruined the careers of many international superstars. They do live up to their reputation."

"Yes, these two are doomed," Lina sneered as she looked at Annette and Lacey.

Lacey sat on the floor and covered her ears with her hands. She refused to listen to the outrageous questions thrown at her.

Annette, on the other hand, could not escape even if she wanted to. The reporters had gotten onto the runway and chased after her to question her.

Unable to stand it anymore, she turned around and chased the reporters like a mad person. "Go away! Leave me alone!"

However, her behavior did not deter the reporters. Instead, they became even more excited.

A young designer going mad was another potentially explosive news to them.

In the end, more and more reporters came onto the runway and surrounded Annette and Lacey.

Natalie, Lina, and the other designers and models were pushed to the side.

Shane frowned upon seeing this scene and made a quick phone call.

Upon receiving Shane's call, a team of bodyguards rushed to the scene and shielded Natalie behind them. They were protecting her from the reporters to prevent them from bumping into her and hurting the baby.

This media frenzy persisted for more than ten minutes before the organizer stepped in and put it to a stop.

After the reporters left, Annette and Lacey were finally free.

Lacey broke down. She sat dazed on the floor as though she had lost her soul. Her eyes seemed lifeless, and she did not move at all.

Annette was in a slightly better state, though she looked a little weary.
