Jennifer was seething with anger.


    That was not the effect she had anticipated!


    Soon enough, someone else noticed something amiss.


    “Isn’t that gown known as First Snow, a creation by the renowned foreign designer, Ms. Zoe?”


    “Oh, my! It’s really Ms. Zoe’s First Snow!”


    “But Ms. Zoe’s design is always one of a kind without replicates. It’s almost impossible to acquire even with wealth. How is it


    possible for two sets of First Snow gowns to appear tonight?”


    “Who''s wearing the knockoff?!”


    The crowd erupted into a buzz.


    The sight of two identical gowns signaled a clear message. There must be a knockoff among them.


    Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief as the situation seemed to get back on track.


    However, Kennedy and Vanessa were taken aback as they never anticipated such a scandal erupting at what was supposed to


    be a ssy event.


    The guests were now abuzz, sharing varied opinions, igniting a palpable tension in the banquet hall. Among the distinguished


    attendees were members of elite families who despised counterfeit goods.


    Fearing the situation might spiral out of control, Vanessa walked up to the central podium with the microphone.


    “| deeply apologize for this unexpected turn of events. | was equally surprised. However, I''d like to exin to everyone that my


    daughter’s gown was personally purchased by me from Ms. Zoe at the cost of four million dors and was air—freighted


    overnight. It is unquestionably genuine.“1


    Amurmur swept through the crowd.


    Four million dors for a single evening gown!


    It would appear that the Moores truly cherished Jennifer!


    Once again, envious nces were cast at Jennifer. With Vanessa’s exnation, most guests epted the story and pretty much


    concluded that Sheena’s gown was the knockoff.


    Skye stepped forward, shielding Sheena from the malicious stares. Then, he looked at Vanessa on the podium and sneered,


    “Madam Moore, are you implying that mypanion is wearing a knockoff?”


    Vanessa was caught off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless.


    Kennedy was even more flustered.


    What should they do?


    If they acknowledged that Skye’spanion was wearing a knockoff, it would be a huge blow to the Zimmer family’s reputation


    and potentially strain future coborations with the Moores. Yet, iming Jennifer''s gown was a fake would tarnish the Moore


    family’s name and make it difficult to navigate high society circles.


    In either case, the Moore family was in a risky position.


    Kennedy was torn. He had never expected the elegant evening to devolve into this chaotic scenario.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    As confusion and whispers spread among the guests, Erin suddenly stood up.


    “Mr. Zimmer, did you personally purchase the gown she’s wearing?”


    Skye replied honestly, “No.”


    “That settles it. Mr. Zimmer was likely deceived by her.”


    Erin smirked. She faced all the attendees and continued, “I’m sure most of you don’t know this woman. She’s Sheena, an orphan


    my grandpa adopted from an orphanage. When she lived with us, she had a penchant for stealing. If it weren’t for my mom’s


    kindness, she would’ve been kicked out long ago. Someone shameless like her could never afford a gown by Ms. Zoe. Her gown
