Serena was just standing up.
Mrs. Lennox and Mrs. Hayes followed suit, seeming to be in a conversation with her.
Serena said a few words in response.
Just then, a man in a sharp suit walked over to them.
Serena then left with the man.
Marianne narrowed her eyes, her face full of disgust.
That vile brat. A leopard can't change its spots. Even in a place like this, she couldn't be bothered to improve herself. She was still busy seducing men.
Had she brought her sordid affairs here?
This was such a sacred place!
This was the place where her daughter, Hailey, was about to achieve international fame.
How could she let Serena defile such a hallowed ground?!
Marianne watched the direction Serena had gone, forgoing the pleasure of basking in more praise. On the pretext of going to the restroom, she secretly followed.
But once again, she was stopped by a security guard. "I'm sorry, ma'am. That is Ms. Rainsford's private lounge. Ms. Rainsford is resting and has given instructions that she is not to be disturbed by anyone."
Serena went to Daphne's lounge?
Didn't that little bitch just run off with a man?
Why would she go to Daphne's lounge?
Could it be that...
Daphne was involved in it too?
No wonder... that night, Daphne had personally driven Serena home!
That bitch probably used her acquaintance with Daphne to badmouth Hailey, didn't she?
If Hailey's competition was jeopardized because of that wretched Serena...
She would never let Serena get away with it!
Marianne's eyes darted around
before she put on a smile. "You see, I'm the mother of designer number four. During the scoring just now.. Ms. Rainsford's score for my daughter was a bit confusing I was hoping to ask he her privately why she gave my daughter such a score."
While all the other judges had given scores of eight or nine, Daphne, the master who was rumored to think highly of Hailey and intended to take heromas a student, had only given five.

Many people had been whispering about it earlier.
Marianne had managed to brush it off with the excuse that "Ms. Rainsford is
probably testing Hailey."
But she genuinely wanted to know the reason.
She had assumed that announcing herself as the mother of designer number four
would earn her some leeway with the guard.
But the guard's expression remained impassive. "I'm sorry, but this is Ms.
Rainsford's designated rest time."
"How can you be so..." Marianne's face turned green with frustration.
All those powerful people were practically fawning over them, yet a mere security guard dared to block her path?
Did he have any idea what designer number four represented?
Once Hailey became Ms. Rainsford's prized apprentice, she would have Hailey fire this inflexible guard!
Marianne pointed a finger at the guard's nose, about to lash out.
Then she saw Serena walking out of Daphne's lounge and heading toward the restroom.
Seeing her chance, Marianne immediately followed.
When Serena came out of the restroom, she found Marianne standing there with her
arms crossed, staring at her with a look of haughty disdain.
Serena had noticed Marianne following her earlier but had simply ignored her.
She didn't expect the woman to be so persistent.
Serena walked to the sink, not even sparing Marianne a glance.
"Serena, where are your manners?" Marianne seethed, infuriated by Serena's arrogant posture. "What? After selling your body and hooking up with all those men, you think you're better than everyone else now?" sŵnovels
She sneered.
Seeing Serena still focused on washing her hands, then slowly pulling out a paper towel to dry them, completely ignoring her, Marianne grew even angrier.
