ALL the one hundred girls spent all their time together, and Lucinda knew that if she didn’t establish her authority, they might cause even more problems for her in the future.
Word quickly spread that Lucinda had arrived at the shooting site.
While most people had anticipated her arrival, Ximena was far from being calm.
Ximena, who didn’t have a powerful background, sensed that Lucinda was taking things too seriously. Overcome with guilt, she slipped away to a corner and dialed Tess’s number.
When Tess picked up the call, Ximena got straight to the point.
“She’s starting to suspect something’s wrong. We can’t keep this up.
Our partnership ends here. Besides, you’ve already executed your plan!”
Tess was surprised by Ximena’s cowardice over the phone. They hadn’t even started to deal with Lucinda yet, but Ximena seemed eager to flee the situation already.
“You’re not interested in being famous?”
Tess asked, caught off guard by Ximena’s sudden desire to quit.
“I didn’t know who Lucinda was before, but I’ve heard some things about her lately,” Ximena explained.
“She’s so smart that even the former heir of the Turner family was ruined by her. If Lucinda finds out what we’re doing, I’m dead. Being famous won’t mean anything to me then.”
As other trainees approached, Ximena hurriedly ended the call, deleted the call records, and blocked Tess’s number.
Tess’s face turned dark on the other end of the line.
That bitch dared to hang up the call on her!

Tess growled, and then came up with a new plan.
Lucinda got to the filming site late, so she stayed at a nearby hotel. However, another mishap occurred early the following day.
It was still very early when Lucinda arrived at the site. At the time, the organizers were already nudging the contestants to wake up.
The attendance check however revealed that someone was missing.
“The missing girl is Ximena Garza,” one of the organizers told Lucinda the name of the missing girl.
He was taken aback by how calm Lucinda appeared to be, despite being much younger than him.
No one knew if she was just acting calm or if she didn’t realize the gravity of the situation.
Regardless, when it got revealed that a girl was missing, it would severely damage the company’s reputation.
“How’s the press lockdown going?” Lucinda asked, staring at Ximena’s photo.
