Chapter 1320
Wendy and everyone else who had ever crossed paths with Chloe had their reasons for failing.
Chloe appeared to be simple on the surface, but inside, she was a whole different ball game.
“So, were you guys pulling my leg?” He asked, staring at the bagpipe in Chloe’s hand. Looking
back, he remembered Chloe holding the bagpipe right before Katie started to feel sick. Was it a
signal?
Catching Jacob’s gaze, Chloe raised an eyebrow and twirled the bagpipe. She put it to her lips and
blew a loud note, as if answering Jacob’s question.
“I thought you were self–confident, that you could win the championship on your own. But it turns
out you’re a fraud, resorting to dirty tricks. I’ve overestimated you.” Jacob clenched his teeth, his
taut face betrayed his fear. “You’re just guessing that the car ident and the mercury poisoning
are connected to me. What gives you the right to use me?”
Chloe smirked, her eyes clear, but her smile was full of sarcasm and sharp edges. “Just like you
diagnosed our model with mercury poisoning. Whether it’s you or not…I really don’t know. I’m just
asking questions, Mr. Jacob.”
Just like a police investigation. You needed to file a case first before you could investigate. All she
needed to do was raise questions, the rest, someone else would
1. do.
Hearing Chloe’s words, Jacob’s jaw tightened, his teeth grinding together.
“Isn’t it obvious? Without any evidence, he imed that the model’s makeup water and lotion had
excessive mercury. How could it not be rted to him?” “Yeah, he even imed there was
something wrong with the model’s face, but it turns out the model had prepared another makeup
box. It’s clear that someone tampered with the original one!”
“Exactly, didn’t they find excessive mercury in the other box?”
“But Beverly’s makeup today was stunning. Despite Mr. Jacob’s unique style and makeup skills,
why would he do such a thing?“,
Jacob stood on stage, his face darkening at the barrage of questions.
The Baines family sitting below cried out, “Chloe, don’t just nder people to win thepetition.
Do you know how important reputation is to others? It’s immoral to defame others, you know?”
“So using our model of mercury poisoning isn’t defamation?” Chloe retorted calmily, her voice
dripping with sarcasm.
Laurel from below looked a bit embarrassed. “We’re at a makeuppetition, not a ce for you to
spout nonsense…”
“Alright, let’s talk about thepetition then. Host, announce how many points Miles‘ work got?”
The host looked a bit troubled, nced at Jacob, and then said, “The public’s overall score is…out
of 50 points…so Miles‘ total score is 100!”
“100! No doubt he’s the champion this year!“.
“Wow, Miles won the championship on his first try! Amazing!”
“But the red bride’s look is truly beautiful. She definitely deserves the championship.”
The crowd erupted into apuse, chanting “the most beautiful bride.”
Hearing the results, Jacob’s sneered. “So superficial! It’s just gimmicks, and you’re all worshipping
it blindly? Are you sure you’re not being led by the nose?” Jacob’s angry words echoed through the
venue, plunging it into silence.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly searching for the person Jacob used of stirring the
pot. But after observing Katie and Beverly, they all furrowed their
brows.

“Blind worship? We do have our own aesthetic taste!”
“So Mr. Jacob means, if we find anything but his work beautiful, we’re superficial!”
“How interesting, are we only allowed to like his work?”
“Mr. Jacob, are you questioning our judgment?”
The judges‘ faces darkened, leaving Jacob at a loss for words. “I didn’t mean…”
Beverly watched Jacob, who was clearly out of control and helpless on stage. Her face was pale
and her gaze drifted to Miles, who wasforting Katie. Her eyes trembled fiercely.
Wendy had already stood up, staring at Jacob on stage, almost unable to breathe. Such a good
competition, ruined by him!
“What the hell? Weren’t you supposed to win the championship 100%?!” Before Wendy could get
angry, Becky’s voice suddenly rang out.
Wendy pursed her Kps, “That was the n, just that Miles…but Jacob knew thepetition theme
in advance…”
Becky was almost pissed to death, and she couldn’t help but scream, “He knew thepetition
theme in advance and still lost?! How bad is Jacob?!”
“Becky!” Wendy tried to stop her, but it was toote. All she could do was me Becky for being a
complete idiot!
Becky’s soream caught everyone’s attention.
“What? What did I just hear? Did Jacob…know thepetition theme in advance?!”
“You heard right…”
“Oh my God, no wonder his work was so impressive, he prepared in advance!”
But did Becky have time to care about all this? “Jacob was so sure before, saying that the triple
crown was his. Is this his triple crown?!”
The host looked at the chaotic scene and quickly said, “Congrattions to Miles for winning this
year’s makeuppetition, and also congrattions to Mr. Jacob for winning the runner–up,
and…”
“Hold on!”
Someone hollered out in the crowd, followed by a line of people cutting through the throng and
heading straight for Jacob on the stage. “Mr. Jacob, we got a tip–off that you’re suspected of
instigating others to poison yourpetitor’s cosmetics, and of intentionally causing car idents.
We’ve got some preliminary evidence. so we’re hoping you’ll cooperate with our investigation…
“The event manager just came clean to us. He took your bribe and sold you the theme info. We’ve
got solid proof, and we’re hoping you’ll cooperate with us on this
too…”
The situation was moving so fast that even Chloe was struggling to keep up. She thought that
things would settle down for a while, but boy, was she wrong. The situation escted so quickly.
Who was behind this lightning–fast and spot–on response?
