Chapter 121
Sonia tremblingly pulled out her phone and opened TuBad’s authentication page.
But when she pointed the code at her camera, a red warning message appeared on screen: “Authentication code not found. Please verify this is a genuine Tubaci product.-
The crowd immediately erupted in shock, everyone staring at Sonia in disbelief as murmurs spread through the room.
“Holy shit, Sonia’s dress is a knockoff-||
I can’t believe it—she’s a celebrity! How could she be wearing a fake?“||
This is absolutely humiliating…”
Sonia’s face went deathly pale as she stared at her phone screen, overwhelmed with shame. She never imagined she’d be exposed for wearing a counterfeit at such a high–profile event.
How could she ever show her face in public again?
“No. 1 paid serious money for this. It can’t be fake, Sonia said frantically, trying to explain.]
She put on her best innocent, teary eyed expression, hoping to gain sympathy from the crowd
But everyone despised counterfeit fashion–there was no sympathy to he found.
Joanne was stunned too. She never expected things to turn out this way.
She opened her mouth but couldn’t find words. What the hell was happening
Charlotte was wearing the real thing? How did she have that kind of pull]
Charlotte looked at Sonia with mild concern. “You were probably scammed. Sonia. You should report it to the police–maybe you can get your money back.
Sonia’s face flushed red with humiliation. She felt like crawling into a hole and disappearing.
She shot Charlotte a venomous glare, then turned and stormed out of the venue.
That drama was finally over, and the crowd dispersed as the main event was about to begin.]
Charlotte went to find her colleagues. Who would have thought attending a simpligala would lead to such crazy drama?
Fortunately, the rest of the evening went smoothly, and Charlotte made several new connections.
Veleria had also arrived, accompanied by Jasper. Jasper had connections in the fashion world through his jewelry business and knew many industry insiders.[
Hed received an Invitation inediately and decided to bring Valeria along as his date
Valeria was thrilled this was her first time attending an event as Jasper’s official girlfriend. Now everyone would know she was his real partner.
So after entering the venue, Valeria kept her arm linked possessively through Jasper’s.

Valeria anked joanne what had happened and immediately berasne furious when she heard the story, disappointed she’d missed watching Charlotte get bumiliated
Joanne pulled her aside to try some of the catered food–apparently prepared by celebrity chefs.

The two graded some desserts and found a corner to eat and chat,
Meanwhile, as Jasper walked in their direction, the first person he spotted was Charlotte[]
