Chapter 694:
Jenessa smiled warmly.
“Delia, you always know just what to say p>
With the samples finished, they were all set to dive into their final round of discussions and tweaks.
But suddenly, the piercing sound of a police siren echoed from downstairs.
Everyone jumped, rushing down to see what was going on.
A public brawl between Hilda and another designer from Martin’s team had gotten so out of hand that the other designers had no choice but to call the police.
The scene left everyone, including the production crew, utterly stunned as they scrambled to piece together what had happened.
“What’s going on? What happened between you two p>
“Hilda stole my design!” a designer fumed.
“Why on earth was Hilda made the team leader?! I’ve been revising the draft over and over for days! Hilda’s clueless and has been no help at all. I poured everything into perfecting my work, and this is what I get? She just flat-out copied my design! And now she won’t even let me compete! I don’t care if she’s the daughter of Jonathan Reynolds. I’m done with this! And where’s Martin? Who knows what he’s been up to, leaving us to fend for ourselves. We were so unlucky to end up with him p>
“Alright, alright, let’s calm down first,” a producer said, trying to defuse the situation.
He was well aware of the tensions within these two teams. But with Hector and Martin both being respected veterans in the industry, the production team was stuck—they could only offer advice but couldn’t intervene.

Hilda, her face swollen and bruised, shrieked in fury, “You bitch! How dare you hit me! I’ll make you pay for this p>
The police officers restraining the two women barked, “Enough! Both of you, shut up p>
Finally, the producer managed to reach Martin, who had been absent until now.
Martin was completely taken aback by the turmoil within his team. His face flushed with anger. He marched over and scolded them sharply, “What’s the matter with you two?! How could you create such chaos during our competition preparations! Are you trying to piss me off p>
One contestant, eyes red with frustration, blurted out, “Hilda deliberately targeted me and plagiarized my designs p>
Hilda retorted, “That’s absurd! I can create my own designs. Why would I need to steal yours? Who do you think you are? Do you think your designs are that special? You’re clearly trying to frame me p>
They pointed fingers and hurled accusations. Just as they seemed ready to escalate further, Martin intervened, “Enough! Both of you, quiet down p>
A producer sighed in exasperation, addressing the police with respect. He explained the situation and asked for their understanding.
“If this happens again, you’ll be detained,” an officer warned sternly.
Following this, Hilda and the contestant reluctantly cooled off. Martin pulled them aside and after a moment of reflection, turned to the contestant who had clashed with Hilda.
“You need to apologize to Hilda p>
The contestant looked at Martin in disbelief.
“What?! Apologize to her? Why p>
Hilda gave a smug smile.
