Chapter 163
She looked dashing, with the grace of a queen. Her exquisite facial features radiated an extraordinary
temperament, and her eyes were sincere, causing her to look like a righteous person. The crimson ring
on her finger looked natural on her; in fact, it gave the observers a visual impact of roses blooming
amidst white snow.
On the contrary, the other one had her nasty thoughts written on her face. Her eyes were cloudy and
filled with malicious intentions. Her temperament, face, and her attire were unmatched to Sophia’s; even
the genuine diamond ring on her hand looked inferior to the high-quality replica.
This… must have been due to the angle and camera filter!
However, no matter how she took the photos, Sophia was still the obvious winner.
X’s initial intention was to mortify Sophia, but if she were to post the photo, she herself would be
humiliated instead. Therefore, she had no choice but to delete the photo. Nevertheless, there were other
students who kept posting the photos in the forum of Bayside University.
Looking at Sophia’s stunning scap and herplexion that was wless, fair and mesmerizing,
Richard’s feet involuntarily followed behind her. The few people then entered the banquet hall.
The hall was already merry and lively when they entered, and Sophia’s appearance astonished
everyone. She calmly walked in and epted everyone’s surprised gazes.

Upon entering the hall, X uttered, “Sophia, I can’t stay with you. Richard introduced me to a few
directors and film producers, so I need to be there.”
After saying that, she dragged Richard away. His mind seemed to be filled with Sophia, but he couldn’t
show it on his face. Meanwhile, Ka walked away gracefully as well.
Stanley was eating when Sophia found him.
The banquet of the Harper Family certainly wouldn’t be short of food and beverages, and they were all
top-notch cuisines. However, most of the guests were concerned with their own images, so they only had
a taste of the food; this guy, however, gobbled up his meal.
Sophia took a te to get some cakes. While doing so, she reprimanded, “Don’t act like a hungry ghost.
It’s embarrassing!”
Stanley, who was busy eating, said between bites, “I spent 5,000 for this banquet. 5,000! It would be a
waste if I don’t eat more! Am I right, Nate?”
Nathan was eating pudding, and he didn’t say anything, but hisrge, watery eyes were fixed on Sophia,
filled with astonishment.
Stanley noticed that her ‘battle robe’ was different today. He freed one of his hands and pped on her
bare, pretty back, forming a red mark. “Aren’t you cold for wearing so little? You should put on your down
jacket again!”
The banquet hall was as warm as summer, and the gowns of thedies were gorgeous yet short.
Sophia didn’t reply to him; she focused on her food instead.
Everyone else was chatting with one another and building connections, and only the three of them were
focused on eating.
As the star of the banquet today, Ka was like a princess, being surrounded by many. Ever since the
incident, her poprity and exposure had increased. After clearing her name, she would be a hot
topic when she entered the entertainment industry.
The girl who acted as a minor character—only her face was revealed and she had no lines—in ‘Doctor
Invincible’ a while ago met a few directors at the banquet today. She had been internally selected to y
the role of the supporting actress of a major film.
X and her werefortably having conversations with the group of directors, producers, and famous
actors, while the three of them—Sophia, Stanley and Nathan—were left alone in a corner.
Ka nced at the three people, who were eating heartily. Don’t you think that you can wear fakes to
attend our Harper Family banquet and leave after having a meal!
Sophia disliked wearing an evening gown because it wrapped around her body tightly. She couldn’t even
breathe, and she had to suck in her tummy all the time. She dared not eat much for fear that her tummy
would bulge, and it would look ugly. Luckily, she had a slim waist, so she could at least eat a little.
After eating, she attentively eavesdropped on the conversation among a few wealthy businessmen about
the property and stock market.
As the banquet tonight was open to the public, there were plenty of reporters at the scene.
Suddenly, a few people who looked like reporters walked toward Sophia. They took multiple photos of
her and started to ask some harsh questions.
“Miss Edwards, can you tell us whether the clothes you are wearing are fakes?”
“Wearing fakes is very disrespectful toward the original product. Can you tell us about your opinions on
this?”
“Is the ring on your finger a high-quality replica of the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido—the ‘Eternal Love’?”
“Can you tell us why you wore high-quality replicas to attend the banquet by the Harper Family? Could it
be that you are still holding a grudge against Miss Ka Harper for framing you, so you used this
disrespectful behavior of wearing high-quality fakes to show your dissatisfaction toward the Harper
Family?”
“Miss Edwards, are you unsatisfied with thepensation given by the Harper Family and are hoping to
get more?”
“Miss Edwards, stop focusing on eating only. Please say something!”
Sophia elegantly finished her pudding, and her perfect makeup was still impable. She replied, “No
comment.”
The reporters gathered closer around her, throwing her sharper questions, one after another. “Miss
Edwards, as far as I know, the original version of the gown that you are wearing now seems to be one of
the evening gowns that L/K released this autumn. Every single gown is extremely pricey, and they’ve
applied for intellectual property protection. Miss Edwards, are you aware that by wearing a replica, you
have vited the intellectual property rights of L/K, so they have the rights to sue you at any moment?”
“Is your boyfriend also wearing a high-quality fake from L/K?”
“The person-in-charge of L/K for our country is attending the banquet tonight as well. Miss Edwards, are
you prepared to deal with awsuit from L/K?”
“Miss Edwards, Miss Edwards! Please answer my questions! Stop ying with your phone!”
As Sophia’s boyfriend, it was natural that Stanley was dragged into the situation as well. However, he
seemed calm; he leisurely tidied the tie around his neck before answering on behalf of Sophia, “Dear
reporters, on what basis did you assume that we are wearing replicas? Since you think that L/K will sue
us, let’s just wait for them to send us a subpoena. We would like to continue eating, so it’s inconvenient
for us to ept your interview.”
The group of reporters attempted to continue asking, but they put aside the thought for now because it
wouldn’t be toote to ask those questions after the arrival of the person-in-charge of L/K since they
were sure the couple were wearing replicas.
After the reporters backed off, Stanley consoled Sophia, “Don’t be afraid. I know L/K’s person-in-charge.
With me here today, they certainly won’t be able to deride you.”
Sophia hummed in response.
Stanley carried Nathan to the side and nudged himself to her front. “Am I handsome today?” he asked
yfully.
Sophia replied, “Yeah.”
Hearing that, Stanley felt content. He then took some puddings for her. “Come. I know you like this. Have
some more.”
Sophia lowered her head and continued eating without bothering to reply to him.
Stanley stared at her unblinkingly. She looks gorgeous today.
However, ns could never keep up with the changes in life. When the reporters were eagerly waiting
for the arrival of the person-in-charge of L/K to uncover the truth about Sophia’s attire, an extraordinary
big shot arrived unexpectedly.
