Chapter 131
This time, not only the celebrities around Wendy, but even Blair shot Audrey a disgusted look.
Blair was annoyed. Everything went wrong today. First, she was ridiculed by Wendy when she just arrived. And now, Audrey had embarrassed her by wearing a fake dress. She couldn't be angrier.
She wished Audrey could take off that dress right now.
One of Phil's fans walked over.
"I heard that someone is wearing a dress from Master Phil. Where is she?"
"Gloria, it's not a dress from Master Phil. It's just a counterfeit. I know you are a fan of Master Phil, but you're gonna be disappointed this time."
The girl named Gloria walked to Audrey, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Audrey's dress.
"Wow, it's his work for real!" Gloria's fingers gently brushed over Audrey's dress, as if she was touching a fragile treasure.
Someone smiled and reminded Gloria.
"Gloria, take a closer look. That dress isn't from Master Phil. It's just a counterfeit. You're wrong."
"No way!" Gloria looked greedily at the handmade mark on the dress. "This mark is embroidered with gold thread through a special technique. It is impossible to counterfeit."
Gloria's words caused uproar in the crowd.
No one expected that a young lawyer could wear a dress from Master Phil.
Wendy was unpleasant. She made a cough to remind Gloria.
"Gloria, please look at it carefully. Are you sure you're not making a mistake?"
Gloria shook her head, "Yes, I'm pretty sure it's from Master Phil. Besides, the sewing technique of this dress is the same as Master Phil's. And the sapphires on it are all Kashmiri. There's no doubt about it!"
Gloria wouldn't tell a lie.
She sighed, "However, the production of the Kashmiri sapphire is very low. It is really difficult to gather so many sapphires in one dress. Because its design is low-key, average people won't be able to recognize."
However, Audrey was the most shocked one.
She didn't know that the dress was from Master Phil, and it was decorated with precious Kashmiri sapphires, making the dress even more valuable. She guessed ... it was worth a villa.
Why did Bryson give her such an expensive dress that could get her into trouble?
Wendy looked at Audrey in disbelief. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
How could a young lawyer afford the dress from Master Phil?
In front of such artwork, her dress was instantly eclipsed.
Wendy clutched her dress angrily.
A diamond on Wendy's dress fell to the ground, causing a crisp sound.
Gloria was squatting on the ground, so she picked up the diamond. When she returned it to Wendy, she frowned in surprise.
"Eh?"
Wendy asked, "What's wrong?"
Gloria scrutinized the diamond in her hand carefully, "It seems like ... a fake."
Gloria's words caused uproar in the crowd again.
"What did you say? Fake?" Wendy's mouth twitched, "This is the big final of Milan Fashion Week last week. How could it be fake?"
Gloria looked at the diamond carefully for a while.
Then, she checked Wendy's dress.
"Although this dress is almost identical to the big finale of Milan Fashion Week," Gloria said seriously, "it's just a perfect replica."
All the celebrities gasped about what she said.
Replica was a euphemism. To put it bluntly, that dress was a counterfeit.
Wendy was frozen there. She could feel that people were whispering and looking at her contemptuously, and she trembled all over.
How could it be....?
But Gloria was an inspector in the fashion industry, so she couldn't be wrong. This dress was indeed a replica as she said.
Damn it... She had ordered someone to bring the dress to her, how could it be a counterfeit?
Blair got her confidence back and sneered.
"Well, you keep saying that others' dress is counterfeit. It turns out my lawyer's dress is real but yours is not. That's ridiculous. This is the funniest joke I've heard this year!"
People around were all sneering.
"I didn't expect Miss Wendy to wear a counterfeit. I thought her dress is the big final of Milan Fashion Week for real."
"It looks like she's obsessed with being in the limelight. But she was caught in that counterfeit instantly."
"Think about the lawsuit between the Munn Group and the Stanton Group, perhaps the Munn Group was that cheater."
Blair could not take it anymore. She left through the crowd gloomily.
She was too embarrassed to stay there.
Seeing Blair running away in panic, Audrey smiled significantly.
After pulling herself together, Audrey looked at her dress and couldn't find a way to deal with it.
In the next few hours, Audrey moved carefully as she was afraid that she might damage the dress.
Because Audrey's dress was too eye-catching, Blair did not want to stay by her side.
After a few words with Audrey, they separated. Audrey found a corner and sat down.
Just as she sat down, a handsome man in a black tuxedo walked towards her.
He pointed to the empty seat next to Audrey and asked politely, "Excuse me, Miss, is this seat taken?"
Audrey smiled back at his humble attitude.
"No, it's not!"
The young man looked at her with a smile and sat down beside her.
He asked politely, "Miss, may I know your name?"
At first, Audrey didn't know that he was talking to her, so she didn't reply. But then she felt someone staring at her. She turned around and saw the young man's smile.
Audrey frowned and pointed at herself. The young man smiled and nodded.
Audrey smiled awkwardly, "My name's Audrey."
"So, it's Ms. Audrey!" The young man introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Adrian Duran."
"Your surname is Duran? Then what is your relationship with Ms. Jessica, the organizer of this banquet?"
"Jessica is my sister."
"I see."
"Ms. Audrey, may I ask you to dance later?"
"Sorry, I'm not a good dancer."
"It doesn't matter," he said.
"I can teach you."
Audrey was speechless.
