They created a safe perimeter around Chloe without even touching her, making her feel like she was in a secure bubble.
The scene left the reporters in awe. This was much more impressive than anything they'd seen from the lady of the Alonso family.
The reporters stood a few steps back, feeling intimidated by the dozen or so black-clad bodyguards. They carefully raised their microphones to ask Chloe their questions.
"Ms. Summers, what are your thoughts on the competition? The championship trophy..."
"I'm gonna give it my all, I trust Miles, he won't let me down. I think I've answered this before."
Chloe stepped out from the circle of bodyguards, but they still shielded her carefully with their arms.
"But Miles' model was in a car accident, according to the hospital report, it seemed pretty serious. If you had to find a model at the last minute, it could affect the performance..."
Chloe remained calm, with a small smile on her face. "I believe a true makeup artist doesn't discriminate against their clients. Their job is to make us all shine with confidence and beauty, even in a competition."
The reporters all nodded, but Wendy, on the other side, snickered.
"So Ms. Summers means we carefully selected our clients, or that others don't have the ability to transform their clients. A competition is a competition, you should respect it..."
Chloe glanced at her nonchalantly as if she hadn't heard her. "Besides, even if Miles' model hadn't had an accident, I think his skills are much stronger than those who use the same model for every competition. If all your skills can only be used on one person, and you win ten championships in a row, you won't be able to reach new heights."
Not just Wendy, but even Jacob and Beverly's faces darkened to varying degrees.
The reporters were thrilled. They didn't expect Chloe to take such a clear stance. But it made sense. Even without her saying it, people knew about the tension between Starlight International and Infinity Media. Compared to the behind-the-scenes fights, this blatant "I just don't like you" was more straightforward.
"So where's Miles, we haven't seen him yet?"
"Hah, he didn't drop out because he lost his model, did he ?"
"That'd be something. Ms. Summers made all those grand statements, but in the end, the person responsible for the competition doesn't show up, that'd be awkward."
Chloe simply smiled, not responding. Without another word, Chloe, surrounded by her bodyguards, smoothly entered the venue.
Wendy and Jacob followed closely behind. Seeing Chloe well-protected by her bodyguards, Wendy's eyes filled with more resentment and malice. "You still haven't told me where your biggest confidence for the competition comes from?!"
Jacob was angry at Chloe's attitude, but thinking about this question, his mood improved a lot. "It's this competition's theme."
Wendy stopped suddenly, glanced around, then whispered, "You know the theme?"
