CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: TURNING AGAINST EACH OTHER

Tiffany Leighton stayed by Ivy Kensington’s side, listening, and retorted directly, "With such a dark mind, you must have used underhanded tactics plenty of times, right?"

Celia Spence: "You!"

At this moment, Dahlia Kensington arrived. She and Celia Spence were good friends, and both disliked Ivy Kensington.

"Don’t worry, Celia, Ivy will definitely lose to you."

Dahlia’s gaze at Ivy was practically bloodthirsty. Why did Sebastian Blackwood only have feelings for Ivy? She was supposed to be the rightful Mrs. Blackwood.

Ivy couldn’t be bothered to argue with them, pulling Tiffany to walk away.

"Ivy, you’re really too laid-back. With people like Celia Spence and Dahlia Kensington, you should be tougher."

In the competition preparation room, Tiffany was advising sincerely.

Ivy: "I know, Tiffany. I’ll definitely make a move when the time comes."

As she spoke, some staff entered.

"Later, there are a hundred herbs for the competition, each one categorized and placed in sachets. Please take good care of them, as they will be used on stage."

The staff pushed a board with various sachets on it.

Ivy made a sound of acknowledgment, took the board, and sniffed the sachets.

Tiffany said, "Ivy, you’re the only one with a keen nose. I can’t tell the difference between the herbs."

Upon hearing this, Ivy furrowed her brows slightly, tightening her grip on the sachet.

As the competition approached.

Dahlia was confident, saying, "Celia, just go on stage assured and watch Ivy make a fool of herself."

She had earlier tampered with Ivy’s herb sachets, spraying each one with a layer of aphrodisiac powder, timing it so that when Ivy got on stage, the effect would kick in, resulting in Ivy performing a strip-show.

This thought excited Dahlia’s heart uncontrollably.

She didn’t believe that after Ivy’s reputation was ruined, Sebastian would still be interested in her!

Celia said, "Dahlia, you’re my best friend. With your help, I’ll definitely win the championship."

Soon, the competition officially started, and Dahlia took out her phone to start a live broadcast from the audience.

Damn Ivy, let’s see her lose face in front of the whole nation!

Celia confidently began mixing the herbs on stage, but as she mixed, she suddenly felt hot all over.

"Oh my, why did that person suddenly start undressing?"

"Wow, what an amazing body, quick, capture it on camera!"

Celia stripped more and more, and the audience, especially the male spectators, instantly became excited, the sound of camera shutters resounding.

Dahlia was stunned with fear—why did the undressing person become Celia?!

Chaos ensued at the competition site, and just then, Ivy made her move, gripping a portion of light blue herb, grinding it forcefully, and quickly stuffed it into Celia’s mouth.

Half a minute later, Celia sobered up, but the parts that shouldn’t have been exposed had basically been revealed.

"Ah!" Celia let out a frustrated scream, "No pictures, none of you take pictures!"

Dahlia rushed over, "Celia, what’s wrong?"

With bloodshot eyes, Celia glared at her, "It’s all your fault! You ruined me!"

Now her reputation was completely destroyed...

Dahlia’s face darkened. She came over to show concern yet was rebuffed. "Celia Spence, watch your mouth, what did I ruin for you?"

"You wanted to harm Ivy, and it ended up affecting me."

Filled with hatred, Celia went straight to the point, "Dahlia Kensington, I think you deliberately targeted me!"

Their dialogue was fully presented to the live audience, who commented one after another: "Oh my, neither of them are good people, Celia got what she deserved!"

"And here I thought Dahlia was genuinely innocent on camera, turns out she has such a malicious mind."

"If it wasn’t for Ivy, Celia probably would have continued stripping, Ivy is truly beautiful, kind, and skilled!"
