Chapter 40 Which One Is Fake

ALB:00 pm the Matthews House was full of guests, except for their own Fatives, all of whom came from the upper echelon of dignitaries. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Katelyn Morgan, also known as the Mrs Matthews, stood quietly besim ie Matthews, smiling and greeting the guests every now and then

But she was not happy at all Her real daughter was still in a coma, but Jamie already asked to bring his mistress‘s daughter back and let Katelyn adinit that girl as her child She was downright furious

But she also knew that the Matthews family did not have any son as the heir, and her only daughter had become a vegetable. To prevent the Matthews family from collapsing, she could only listen to Jamie.

So no matter how reluctant she was, she had to pretend to love Charlotte, “Look! It‘s Miss Charlotte Matthews!”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and all eyes instantly followed the spotlight and looked to the second floor. Charlotte was wearing delicate makeup, a fue–tuned smile on her face, with a dress that brought out her elegance. Her seemed so graceful as she walked down the stairs.

The crowd burst into a commotion Cheers and applause surrounded her,

A lady spoke to Katelyn, “Mrs. Matthews, you‘re really lucky Your younger daughter is also a stunning beauty, and her fiancé is the president of the Freeman group. How enviable”

Another lady chimed in, “Yes, Mr. Freeman is a handsome and promising young man. The two of them are really a match made in heaven. You‘re so lucky!

“Thank you. But you two both have a son and a daughter, right? It must be a jolly family...” Katelyn managed a smile as her fists were clenched tightly. Melvin, who was mentioned, was sitting quietly at the moment, with no extra expression on his face. Despite not saying a word, he himself still held a strong presence with his own charisma. Charlotte felt the crowd‘s either admiring or envious gazes, enjoying the vanity of being the star in the limelight. There were many wealthy boys on the first floor, who hadn‘t pulled their eyes away from her ever, since she came out.

Charlotte noticed it too, which was why she deliberately take it slowly when walking down the stairs.

However,

She was just halfway down the stairs when the crowd suddenly gasped again. Someone was shouting, “Cody Carver is here!” Everyone turned their heads to look at the door. The young and handsome Cody came step by step from the end of the red carpet with his female companion. Because he was a big star and the young master of the Carver family, his appearance made the guests more thrilled. And the first thing people noticed when they look sideways was Lyra beside him. A long white dress went well with her glowing skin; her makeup today was very light, but together with the dress, the two unexpectedly complemented each other. When walking over, Lyra looked like an angel. The crowd was almost entirely enchanted, and no one paid any more attention to Charlotte behind them. Charlotte was still standing in the middle of the stairs. Never had she expected that Lyra crushed her the moment she entered the house. Now she was stuck there and no one was paying attention to her at all. She didn‘t know whether to get down or go back, so pissed that she almost passed out This bitch could look so stunning even in a knock–oll dress? The delicate makeup she spent all afternoon painting was not as effective as the bitch‘s light makeup? Why!

She was no way worse than this bitch!

Charlotte gritted her teeth, and she elegantly covered her mouth and coughed lightly twice, trying to draw back the attention. A guest nearby turned to glance at her, and his keen eye spotted what was wrong

and shouted. “Look at this! Mr. Carver‘s date is wearing the same dress as Miss Matthews.” “It‘s true! As the saying goes, the most embarrassing part isn‘t when you and the other dress the same, but when you find you‘re the uglier one! Mr. Carver‘s female companion is simply stunning, I totally forgot what Miss Matthews looks like in it...”

The guests started to dart their eyes between the two. In front of the unhurried, classy and stylish Lyra, Charlotte was completely slayed. Charlotte felt like she was about to vomit blood from the rage.

This was not at all what she wanted to see!

Chapter 40 Which one is Fake Soon, someone else noticed that something was wrong. “This dress seems to be the work of the famous foreign designer Miss Z. It‘s called First Snow, right?”

“Yikes! It‘s really the First Snow!” “But Miss Z‘s every design is unique. It‘s always limited to one piece in th pieces of First Snow at the same time?” “Who the hell is wearing a knock–off dress?!”

I dd. You can‘t get it even if you have money. How can there be two

The crowd was in an uproar. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became intense, Two identical pieces, which meant that one of them must be a knock–off! Charlotte was relieved to see that things were finally back on track Jamie and Katelyn, however, were stunned.

They didn‘t expect a supposedly peaceful party to turn into a fashion drama

Guests were chattering here and there, and the atmosphere in the ballroom was instantly ignited

The people here are noblemen and noblewomen who abhorred knock–offs

Fearing that things would get out of hand, Katelyn walked to the microphone in the middle of the hall

“I‘m sorry that this happened today. It‘s unexpected to us as well. But I have to explain to everyone that this dress on my daughter was delivered yesterday, right after I personally called Miss Z and purchased it at a price of $30 million. There‘s absolutely no way that it is fake.” There was another gasp from the crowd. 30 million for an evening dress! It seemed that the Matthews couple really doted on their new baby girl! Once again, the guests looked at Charlotte with envy. Having regained attention, Charlotte walked down steadily while holding the handrails to stand alongside Katelyn.

She put on a polite smile, showing the crowd that she was indeed the gentlewoman of the prestigious Matthews family. With Katelyn‘s explanation, the crowd was convinced, basically concluding that the one on Lyra was a fake. Cody stepped forward and blocked the malicious glances aiming at Lyra. Then he looked at Katelyn on the stage and sneered, “So Mrs. Matthews is suggesting that my date is wearing a fake dress?” Katelyn was choked at his words, not knowing how to reply. Jamie was even more terrified for a while.

What to do?

If it was admitted that the date Mr. Carver brought here was wearing a knock–off dress and the Carver family was disgraced, it would certainly be dangerous for the Matthews family‘s collaboration with them. But if they said Charlotte was wearing the fake one, it would also greatly tarnish the Matthews family‘s reputation. They would lose their dignity in the upper circle. It seemed like no matter which choice they made, the Matthews family would suffer a huge loss. Jamie was in a dilemma. Who could‘ve thought that a normal party would end up like this! Just when the crowd was waiting for the truth to be revealed and murmuring to each other, Sheila suddenly stood up. “Did you buy the clothes she was wearing yourself, Mr. Carver?” Cody replied, “No.” “That‘s right. Mr. Carver, you were probably hoodwinked by her.” Sheila smiled smugly and continued to explain in front of the guests, “I‘m sure you all don‘t know this woman She‘s an orphan my grandfather picked up from the orphanage. Her name is Lyra Carroll “She used to like to steal things when she was living in my house. If it wasn‘t for my mom‘s kindness, she would‘ve been kicked out long ago. For an immoral person like her, how is it possible for her to get Miss Z‘s recognition? This one must be fake!”
