"Miss Todd just accused me of lying through my teeth and threatened to sue me. Why the silence now?" Cynthia's tone was light and indifferent, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Whitney's eyelashes trembled, panic evident in her eyes. She opened her mouth but no sound came out, her throat dry as if she had wandered through a desert for days.
Cynthia raised an eyebrow ever so slightly, a faint smile playing at her lips, yet her eyes were chillingly cold.
Whitney knew there was no escaping this now, but apologizing to Cynthia in front of so many people was something she couldn't bring herself to do. She was the champion of the fashion contest, trained professionally, while Cynthia, talented as she might be, was nothing but an outsider. What right did she have to accept Whitney's apology?
"Whitney, you've truly disgraced me!" A deep, stern voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Whitney trembled all over. The color drained from her face, leaving it pale.
