Everyone felt that Xianna was right. To them, it was better to wear a generic brand than a counterfeit.
Since Stella did not look like she could afford to wear a designer dress, the people believed that shebought a replica to save her face after her downfall. After all, not many people had ever seen thefamous phoenix embroidery in real life.
“I can’t believe she resorted to wearing knockoffs when she used to wear so many high-end designsbefore.”
“I know, right? The embroidery looks like the real thing, but there’s still a difference if you look closeenough. The feathers on the phoenix seem different from the original piece.”
“She should’ve worn something less recognizable, in my opinion. I mean, that design literally went viralonline. She has to be dense to wear that.”
“I think she’s rather smart. How else are people going to notice her if she doesn’t wear a Lea Sartorreknockoff? After all, she always had to be the center of attention back when she was Mrs. Kane.”
Sophia was thrilled when she heard that. ‘There’s no way Stella could get her hands on an original LeaSartorre when she’s just a newcomer in the entertainment industry and no longer part of the Kanefamily. She’s clearly trying to keep up appearances.’
Sophia smirked and said, “It seems you’re really fond of Lea Sartorre’s work, sis. You even foundsomeone to create a duplicate of it. Sorry, I didn’t notice it before.”
Stella glanced at her and indifferently said, “That’s understandable. People who don’t really know muchtend to see things differently.”novelbin
Upon hearing that, Sophia got mad. ‘I see someone’s skin got thicker after the divorce,’ she thought.She was about to say something when a voice came across the room. “The thread used in LeaSartorre’s work is specially made for her. There’s nothing similar for sale on the market. Do all of youreally think that Stella found someone to create an exact replica of the famous phoenix with normalthread?”
The crowd turned around to see a middle-aged woman wearing a plain-colored gown slowly walkingover. The woman looked ordinary, but her dress was spectacular.
Everyone was confused as to who that person was. “Who are you? Are you even knowledgeableenough to say that?” Xianna frowned and asked.
The woman glanced at Xianna indifferently and replied, “I’m in the fashion design industry, so I’d like tothink I know a thing or two.”
“It’s funny how you’re commenting on the situation when all you know is ‘a thing or two’,” said Xianna,but the woman did not pay any attention to her.
Instead, she walked toward Stella with elegance and politely said, “Ms. Jewell, due to some unforeseencircumstances, I wasn’t able to attend the National Embroidery Exhibition this year, and I wasn’t able tosee this piece of art with my own eyes. Initially, I wanted to ask Lea if she could show it to me, but I wastold that it had already been gifted to someone. I didn’t think I would be fortunate enough to run intoLea’s work here today. Would you allow me to take a closer look and take a few pictures, Ms. Jewell?”
Stella smiled. “Of course,” she said.
The woman thanked her and grabbed a camera from her assistant. She then observed Stella’s dresswhile recording the embroidery details.
Suddenly, someone from the crowd excitedly said, “Isn’t that Annie Crawford?”
“Annie Crawford? Who’s that?”
“She’s Wendy Carlson’s mentor. Wendy Carlson studied fashion under her, but they had a fallout. Afterthat, Carlson branched out to start her own business.”
