Hannah stared at Natalie with a pale face. “You're the designer for Project Rebirth?”
She knew about Project Rebirth and had also seen it before. Not only that, but she was also deeply awed by it.
Never did she expect that Natalie was the designer of all those clothes.
Hannah was rendered inarticulate as fury and shame coursed through her.
How she wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole right then.
She felt downright humiliated.
“Well, why didn't you just say so? You did it on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to humiliate me!” Hannah pointed at
Natalie and yelled.
Natalie raised a brow at her, looking at her like she was a freak.
Meanwhile, Joyce let out a sardonic laugh. “Are you f*cking nuts? I'm truly amazed by your ability to bend the truth.
You were obviously the one who didn't get your facts straight, but now you're accusing Nat of not telling you? Who

“Yeah! It's Nat's choice whether or not she wants to reveal her personal information. How dare you turn around and
accuse her? I've never seen anyone as shameless as you, Hannah.” Sally echoed Joyce's sentiment.
“Y-You...” Unable to win the argument, Hannah stomped her foot in anger.
Just then, a woman scurried over with her bag slung over her shoulder. “Hannah, what are you doing?”
“Ms. Syke, thank God you're here. They're all ganging up on me.” As though she had seen her savior, Hannah
immediately complained to Jessie.
Natalie and the other two girls rolled their eyes in unison.
They had truly underestimated Hannah's capability of being shameless.
She was clearly the one who came looking for trouble first.
Upon hearing that her model was being bullied, Jessie's face darkened and she strutted over to Natalie. With a smile
that did not reach her eyes, she uttered, “Ms. Smith, we meet again.”
“Yes,” Natalie replied in a similarly flat voice.
Jessie narrowed her eyes and said icily, “Although we're from the same country, we're currently representing
different countries. I don't think it's appropriate to bully someone from a foreign country's team.”
“I bullied someone from your team?” Natalie pointed at her own nose, utterly bemused. Even Joyce and Sally
huffed with laughter.
Unease crept into Jessie's heart when she saw the amused looks on their faces. “What? Did I say something wrong?
Did you not bully my model?”
Natalie wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes and answered, “Ms. Syke, before you accuse me of bullying her, I
suggest you find out who started it first. You're just making yourself look stupid like this.”
“Yeah. Your model was obviously the one who came to us looking for trouble. Since when did we bully her? We were
merely defending ourselves.” Sally pursed her lips in discontent.
Joyce nodded as well. “It's true, Ms. Syke. Although I admire you for standing up for your team member, you're only

“Exactly. You jumped to conclusions before getting to the bottom of things,” Sally chimed in.
Jessie's expression soured when she heard what the two of them said.
She whipped her head to the side and shot Hannah a withering look. “Why didn't you tell me that you were the one
who came over here? Now look what you did. I made a fool out of myself by standing up for you.”
Hannah bowed her head guiltily but couldn't formulate a comeback.
Jessie was so furious she felt like hitting someone. However, she took a deep breath to calm herself, then turned
back to face Natalie. Forcing a smile onto her lips, she apologized, “My apologies, Ms. Smith. We're the ones at fault
this time. I'm truly sorry.”
“It's fine. But I hope you'll keep an eye on your model from now on. Make sure she doesn't bother us. After all,
we're from different teams. I'm sure you know the consequences if people start gossiping, right?” Natalie met her
gaze with a smile of her own.
The smile on Jessie's face looked even more strained just then, but she nodded calmly. “You're right, Ms. Smith. I'll
be sure to keep an eye on her.”
“I'm happy to hear that,” Natalie replied blandly.
