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?”

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 classy 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.
“I deeply apologize for this unexpected turn of events. I was equally surprised. However, I’d like to explain to everyone that my daughter’s gown was personally purchased byfrom Ms. Zoe at the cost of four million dollars and was air–freighted overnight. It is unquestionably genuine.“1
A murmur swept through the crowd.
Four million dollars for a single evening gown!
It would appear that the Moores truly cherished Jennifer!
Once again, envious glances were cast at Jennifer. With Vanessa’s explanation, most guests accepted 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 my companion is wearing a knockoff?”
Vanessa was caught off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless.
Kennedy was even more flustered.

If they acknowledged that Skye’s companion was wearing a knockoff, it would be a huge blow to the Zimmer family’s reputation and potentially strain future collaborations with the Moores. Yet, claiming Jennifer’s gown was a fake would tarnish the Moore family’s nand 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.
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 must be a knockoff!”
