Evelyn Curtis frowned, suddenly startled.
Then, she scoffed: "Pff, this new gown designed by Joy, I’m the only one with the runway version."
Charlotte Thompson casually glanced at Evelyn’s red dress and had a light smirk on her lips: "The one you are wearing, is it the real deal?"
Hearing the question, a look of smug self-satisfaction flashed across Evelyn’s face: "Is that even something that needs to be asked? Of course, it’s authentic! Representatives from the BK brand personally delivered it. It’s naturally the real deal!"
She snorted disdainfully, her eyes full of contempt: "Charlotte, do you even know your place? Our standings are miles apart. I wear authentic pieces, while people like you are only fit for knockoffs."
Charlotte ignored her and proceeded with the competition. Follow current novels on novel✦fire.net
Online, the number of people in the live-room had already exceeded one million, bullet-screen comments flooded the screen in dense cascades.
Among them were insults targeted at Charlotte.
Yet not all were against Charlotte; while some tried to defend her, they were quickly overwhelmed with abuse.
Not until another comment surfaced, did it incite discussion and confusion amongst the crowd.
[Has anyone noticed anything odd? If Charlotte’s dress was a knock-off in the first place, then why did she change it and make it so conspicuous?]
[Is the person above over-thinking? Can you tell me, does an idiot really use their brain?]
Again, the comment section filled with invective.
At the same time, a new Weibo post spread across the internet, its popularity growing rapidly with the unfolding incident.
A self-proclaimed specialist had posted over a dozen screenshots, comparing the subtle details of Charlotte’s dress with those of Evelyn’s.
Though Charlotte’s dress had been recut, it was not a counterfeit.
The article, nearly a thousand words in length and written in an analytical tone, concluded with one verdict.
Actually, the counterfeit was Evelyn Curtis’s dress.
That single statement stirred up waves of reaction; netizens started hammering their keyboards again.
"No way, no way, nobody would believe this post by a blogger who has less than ten thousand followers, right?"
"LOL, Charlotte is so poor she couldn’t even afford a better internet squad with more followers? Calling themselves a specialist; you should go back and check whether your ancestors’ graves are smoking."
"Saying my Evelyn has a knock-off, you must have really gutsy to spout such nonsense."
"Exactly, this blogger must be an internet soldier hired by Charlotte, daring to slander Evelyn, I’m going to dig up every single detail about them and see what kind of descendant I find!"
"It’s just the intermission time of the jewelry competition, and now such a post popped up, isn’t it clear who hired these shills?"
"Charlotte, you have the audacity to slander Evelyn while wearing a knock-off, truly shameless!"
"Charlotte, get out of the design circle!"
"Charlotte is not fit to participate in the jewelry competition!"
The situation was rapidly spinning out of control.
The officials of the competition were watching as things escalated. They judged that Charlotte’s personal actions had severely affected the competition and just as they were considering whether they should step in to moderate, an unexpected incident occurred.
The official Weibo account of BK Brand’s Druarus division reposted the specialist’s post, with an attached message:
[This red runway gown is the latest spring design by Joy, a designer under the BK brand (as shown in the picture). Please do not associate knock-offs with our brand, otherwise we will pursue legal responsibilities.]
