“How have I figured out you're Jasmine?” Natalie finished the question on Jasmine's behalf.
Jasmine was astonished by Natalie's seemingly harmless and innocent smile. She felt a strong urge to flee the
scene, but she just couldn't bring herself away no matter how hard she tried.
Unable to flee the scene, Jasmine had no choice but to rebuke Natalie's hypothesis, “Ms. Smith, what are you
talking about? Have you gotten the wrong person? I-I'm not Jasmine!”
“Why don't you stop lying? Do you think I'll confront you without any solid evidence? I'm impressed you have
everyone deceived by faking your death. On top of that, you're able to endure the pain and return as Jessie after
fleeing the country. It's quite an impressive feat you have achieved.”
Jasmine started clenching her fists in silence as she was rendered speechless by Natalie's orated speech.
I thought Natalie is trying to deceive me and get me to confess everything. However, the fact she's able to expose
the part that I have undergone plastic surgery proves Natalie has the evidence to testify that I'm Jasmine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Jasmine thought about it, she took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself. She asked in return, “How did
you figure out my identity? Has anyone handed you the evidence to prove I'm Jasmine?”
It was a flawless plan! Natalie was once deceived by the corpse as well! If no one gives her a heads-up, she will
never rule out the possibility of me being Jessie! Who the heck is behind this?
“Actually, I have no idea. That mysterious figure just dropped me an email out of the blue.” Halfway through her
orated speech, she paused and looked at Jasmine in the eyes. “I think she's a close acquaintance of yours since
she's well aware of your identity. On top of that, she's conscious of your plan, including the part you fled the country
to get yourself a new identity after faking your death. Does that ring a bell yet?”
“Jacqueline! It must be her!” Jasmine started shivering in fear; her face puckered in irritation. Jacqueline was the
one who had approached her and brought up the suggestion to fake her death in the first place.
I can't think of anyone else apart from Jacqueline! She had everything sorted out on my behalf, including the way to
flee the country, and the doctor for the surgeries to change my look.
“Oh! It turns out it's Jacqueline, huh?” Natalie asked with a bright grin.
Jasmine was taken aback by Natalie's question. She soon figured out everything and yelled, “Have you been lying to
me to get your hands on the identity of my accomplice?”
Natalie ran her fingers through her hair and answered nonchalantly, “Yes! I have long thought Jacqueline is the one
behind the scheme, but I can't get my hands on anything that's able to prove her guilty! I can't believe you have
played along with me and confessed everything just because you're angry! I thought it would take me some time
and effort to get to the bottom of the entire incident, but I was wrong!”
Glaring at Natalie in the eyes, Jasmine yelled, “Amazing, Natalie!”
Natalie shrugged her shoulders and remarked sarcastically, “Thanks! My life's wonderful without you! Shane is
currently on his way somewhere after figuring out your identity. Why don't you get yourself ready for the things that
will be in store for you?”
Colors drained from Jasmine's face. She stammered, “A-Are you guys going to expose me again?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, she recalled Shane mentioned something about heading over to meet the organizer and took a peek at
her prior to his departure.
Shane is about to approach the organizer to expose me! How naïve of me to think he has a thing for me just
because he has been staring at me for a few seconds!
“You're spot on for once! We're going to expose your true identity! We're well aware of the things you're capable of,
and designing isn't one of them! In other words, you have acquired others' designs for the previous rounds! I won't
allow you to stay around anymore! It's not fair for the rest of the competitors!”
Out of the blue, Jasmine shrieked and startled those around. Confused by the things going on, they turned around
and had their eyes glued to the conflicting duo.
Natalie covered her ears with her brows furrowed in irritation.
“Natalie, are you going to ruin my life again? Haven't you had enough of turning my life upside down?” Jasmine
finished her question with a vicious look. “How dare you blame me when you're the one at fault? Have I forced you
to plagiarize others' designs? Why are you holding me liable when I have nothing to do with it? Stop accusing me!”
