Adriana was right. No matter the asion, it’s always better to show up in a ready–to–wear outfit, even
if it’s from a regr brand, than to wear a knock–off.
Looking at Celeste, does she look like she could afford such an upscale dress?
People would rather believe that she can’t ept that she had fallen from grace, so she wore fakes to
uphold her image.
After all, true works of embroidery art, like “Swan Ascending“, were rare toe by.
“Celeste, wearing a knock-off? Back when she was with the Reed family, didn’t she always wear
bespoke dresses to events?”
“You’re right. The imitation might look like the real deal at first nce, but there are subtle differences.
The swan’s feathers don’t seem to match the pictures online.”
“She should’ve chosen a less recognizable design for her knock–off. This design has been widely
shared online. Choosing it for a fake is just in dumb”
“She’s not dumb, and she’s smart. If she didn’t wear this knock–off, how would people notice her?
Without the shine of being Mrs. Reed that find other ways to draw attention to herself.”
A sh of schadenfreude crossed Angel’s eyes.
Perhaps the old Celeste could afford to wear any designer clothes. But, after her divorce from Liam,
with not a penny to her name and just a little–known up–anding actress, how could she possibly
afford such a dress?
Shed rather believe Celeste was putting on airs.

She gave a slight smile. “Seems like my sister really admires Sandra’s work. She even had someone
make an identical piece. I didn’t notice it earlier. My bad”
Celeste nced at her. “I understand. It’s normal for people who are not worldly to misjudge.”
Angel’s eyelids twitched.
Unexpectedly, Celeste had be stronger after divorcing Liam,
Just as she was about to say something, a voice spoke up. “Sandra’s fabric is custom–made. You can’t
buy it on the market. Do you think an imitation could match that?”
Everyone turned to see a middle–aged woman in a in–colored long dress slowly walking over.
She looked ordinary, but her dress was distinctive.
As everyone wondered who she was, Adriana asked, frowning, “Who are you, and what do you know?”
The woman nced at Adriana and answered. “I’m in the fashion industry, so I know a thing or two.”
Adrianaughed. “You dare to say you understand just because you know a little?”
The woman ignored her and walked over to Celeste. “Ms. Campbell, I couldn’t make it to the
Embroidery Exhibition due to somemitments. I wanted to visit Sandra to see this masterpiece but
was told it had been gifted. I didn’t expect to see it here today. May I take a closer look and a few
photos?”
Celeste smiled. “Of course.”
The woman thanked her, took a camera from her assistant, and examined the dress while taking
photos.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd eximed excitedly. “Isn’t that Ca?”
“Ca? Who’s that?”
“She’s Lana’s teacher. Lana was her apprentice. But then some unexined disagreement urred
between them, and Lana went independent “Ca? The one who won the World Fashion Design
Award?*
“Though you might be able to buy Lana’s designs, Ca’s works are so sought–after that they’re
impossible to get. Every year at the fashion show, her works are showcased. She’s a top–notch
designer in our country!”
“If Ca says so, then it must be genuine Sandra is her teacher. She wouldn’t mistake her teacher’s
work.”
“Didn’t you hear what Ca just said? She said the dress was a gift from Sandra Is Celeste the one
who received it?”
“This is something money can’t buy.”
“I knew Celeste wouldn’t wear a knock–off on such an asion. She wouldn’t make herself aughing
stock.”
“No wonder Celeste said that Angel didn’t know fashion. Even with the real deal in front of her, she
couldn’t recognize it.”
After finishing her photography, Ca thanked Celeste again.
