Chapter 699 Isabellaâs eyes popped out when she heard the name Sabrina. How in the world did this girl know Sabrina? She even had Sabrinaâs contact info.
After all, the contestants from M Country were led by Sabrina, the president of the Garment Association of M Country. They were attending the International Fashion Design competition today.
Was this girl threatening her by dropping Sabrinaâs name because she knew about this beforehand?
Before Isabella could say anything, Sabrina rushed over. On seeing Arabella, she immediately cracked a warm smile, shaking hands with her amiably. She even addressed Arabella as a âteacherâ, showing extreme respect.
Isabella didnât know who this girl was, but anyone who could make the usually arrogant Sabrina call them âteacherâ had to be something special.
âTeacher, what happened here?â Sabrina asked in fluent Solterran. Spotting Isabella, she turned and scolded her harshly in M Countryâs language for offending the teacher, her tone filled with accusation and dissatisfaction.
Arabella said, âItâs fine for contestants to compete, but if it escalates to an international incident, isnât that neglecting the friendship between our two nations?â
Hearing this, Sabrina immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.
Arabella continued, âTodayâs participants are all top three from their countries. They represent not just the design skills but also the image of their nations. But Iâm sorry to say, I donât see the manners and discipline that your country stands for in this contestant. I even think sheâs unfit to be here.â
!
âSorry, Iâm really sorry. Sabrina seemed to understand the situation. She turned to Isabella, demanding her to apologize immediately in a stern voice.
Isabella apologized in M Countryâs language. She didnât expect this girl to be so highâprofiled, even enough to make Sabrina nervous.
Arabella raised an eyebrow at her, âWerenât you cursing quite fluently in Solterran just now?â
Isabella got the hint and apologized in Solterran, âIâm sorry, I was rude to you earlier.â
âYou indeed were,â Arabella looked at her seriously, âAnd you forgot someone else.â
Isabella had to turn to Molly and apologize again, âIâm sorry.â
âIsabella, right?â Molly glared at her, her fists clenched, vowing silently, âIâll show you who the real trash is.â
Isabella held back her anger for now to avoid more trouble, but sheâd remember this grudge.
Watching them walk away, Molly clung to Arabella, âBella, Iâm so glad youâre here! I feel much better with you around. But isnât it Friday today? Did you take a leave from school?â
Arabella answered frankly, âNo.â
Molly, âOh right, you have the privilege of school. They wouldnât say anything even if you skip the whole semester.â
Thatâs awesome!
Only those with perfect scores got this kind of treatment.
âGo assemble, and the competition is about to start.â Arabella added, âDonât be nervous. Just treat it like any other day. Oh, and thereâs a surprise later, donât freak out.â
âHuh? A surprise? What could it be?â Molly was curious about the surprise Arabella mentioned. Could it be a secret weapon for the competition? âJust go assemble.â Arabella chuckled without giving anything away.
âOkay, I promise I wonât freak out! Iâve been in big situations before, and I can handle anything.â
Molly left full of confidence and excitement to assemble, little did she know that sheâd soon break her promise.
Backstage.
A woman in her thirties from Y Country approached Molly, âYouâre Molly, the champion of Solterra. Iâm Penny, and I hope you remember Molly felt the hostility but still asked politely, âCan I help you?â
my name.â
Penny said haughtily, âI got the video of your competition through connections. Honestly, I think your assistant is more capable than you.â
