CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1419

Natalie shook her head. “No, she didn't do anything to me. What I was saying is that she came to the country I am in as well. Do you know she is a participant in this competition?”

“What?” Shane furrowed his brows. “A participant? Her?”

He did not bother to hide the disdain in his tone.

It was no wonder that Shane felt contempt for Lucy. After all, Lucy did not look like someone who knew anything about fashion design.

Furthermore, Lucy had never studied fashion design or designed anything. Therefore, he was shocked to hear that she was joining a fashion design competition.

Most shockingly, the competition was not a small-scale or little-known competition. It was a medium- sized international competition.

Thus, one could not help but wonder how a person who had never learned or drawn designs or had any achievement in this field could end up in this competition.

“Yes, Lucy is a participant.” Natalie nodded. “I wonder how she managed to get in. Lina told me to talk to you and ask for your help to find out what happened.”

“Don't fret. I will look into it.” A cold glint flashed across Shane's eyes.

As he had been suspicious about Lucy's reason for joining the competition, he was more than willing to investigate it.

Natalie smiled with relief upon hearing his response. “Okay, I'll leave it to you. Let me know if there is anything.”

“Sure.” Shane nodded.

After hanging up, Natalie put down the phone and made an okay sign with her fingers. “Lina, I have informed Shane, and he will get someone to investigate. I believe we will have the result soon.”

“That's wonderful.” Lina smiled.

After dinner that evening, Natalie received the investigation report from Shane.

She could not help but let out a snort after reading it. “I thought she was naive. It turns out she has fallen into depravity.”

Lina blinked and asked curiously, “What do you mean?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Natalie answered, “Lucy craves romance and is greedy for vanity and wealth. However, she insists on pretending she is a strong and self-sufficient woman. So whenever she meets a wealthy man, she pretends to show contempt for him. Now, she is dating a man from a rich family and is leeching off him.”

“I see.” Lina pursed her lips. “People like her are hypocrites. How annoying.”

“That's right.” Natalie nodded.

Lina looked at her. “Is there anything else? Since you mentioned this woman, does that mean Mr. Thompson has sent you the investigation report?”

“Yes, you can have a read.” Natalie passed the documents to Lina. She had printed out the documents after Shane had emailed them to her.

Lina took the documents from Natalie and sat on the couch to read them. Once she finished reading, she rolled her eyes and said, “Wow, I am speechless. It turns out Lucy got into the competition with the

help of her wealthy boyfriend. Her boyfriend is the son of one of the sponsors of this competition. That rich guy used his father's reputation to sneak her in.”

Natalie took a sip of tea and replied, “You're right. That is indeed what happened.”

“But it doesn't make sense.” Lina frowned. “I remember Madam Diana was the judge responsible for selecting the participants and is undoubtedly a top designer. After retiring from designing a few years ago, she has been judging in various prestigious competitions. Furthermore, Madam Diana is strict and places tremendous importance on the quality of the participants' designs. She would never allow someone with no design skills or work to enter the competition. Therefore, even if Lucy's rich boyfriend had snuck her in, she could never get past Madam Diana.”

After saying that, Lina looked at Natalie and continued, “Madam Diana would never allow anyone to break the rules. Her husband is one of the shareholders of a luxury brand, Clannel. She would never accept bribes or heed the demands of Lucy's rich boyfriend and his father. There must be other reasons why Lucy managed to get into this competition.”
