Eleanor said truthfully. “The waiter accidentally spilled some wine just now, so I went to change my
clothes.”
Before anyone could respond. Haven smiled and stepped forward. “Eleanor, then you really have the foresight to actually prepare a set of clothes in advance.”
Everyone understood what she meant.
Eleanor deliberately wore the same outfit as Mandy, which was clearly a provocation to her
But everyone wondered why Eleanor would want to provoke Mandy.
Others didn’t understand, but Mandy, who was secretly going through a divorce with her husband. couldn’t help but overthink it.
She had no idea who her husband’s lover was. She couldn’t catch the person in the act, but even if they divorced, she would still have to share half of the assets with that scumbag. Even so, she built the jewelry empire herself. She didn’t want to give half of it to such a worthless man.
Now, a young and beautiful woman was openly provoking her by wearing the same outfit.
She began to wonder if Eleanor was her husband’s mistress.
Mandy’s gaze toward Eleanor shifted.
Eleanor lowered her eyes and remained silent, appearing as if she had no response.
She was still waiting.
Seeing that Eleanor didn’t speak, Haven smiled slightly and said, “But, I’m curious how Eleanor knew that Ms. Whitney would be wearing the same dress?
Zoey stared at Eleanor and said suspiciously, “This dress isn’t cheap, and Eleanor is just an intern now. Could it be someone bought it for her?”
As everyone speculated, an unexpected person stepped forward.
It was Mandy’s husband.
He pretended to be magnanimous and said, “Alright, alright, it’s just a dress. There’s no need to make things difficult for the girl. Today is Miss Taylor’s birthday party. Nothing else matters.”
Hearing this, Eleanor looked up.
She waited patiently.
The moment she entered the hall, she noticed that Julian, who had been following her earlier, was now nowhere to be seen.
It seemed like Julian was afraid Eleanor would confront her, so she had decided to disappear.
After everything had unfolded, Julian, as her “good friend” would step in to deflect the blame, leaving Eleanor to take the fall.

However, Julian overlooked one thing. Without her there, Eleanor could say whatever she wanted.
Eleanor smiled politely at Mandy’s husband. “Thank you, but I think I still need to clarify some things.”
Mandy’s husband instinctively glanced to the side before hurriedly interrupting. “You don’t need to explain, I believe you.”
These words were hard not to misinterpret.
“No, I’m not explaining to you, but to Ms. Whitney, Eleanor said, her cheeks slightly flushed as she awkwardly looked at Mandy. “Ms. Whitney, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I’ve always admired you, so I subconsciously tried to imitate your style. You know, I’m just an intern, so I don’t have much money. That’s why I went for a replica.”
As she spoke, Eleanor tugged at the collar, revealing the lack of a brand tag.
The washing label of this brand was patented, and generally, counterfeit items couldn’t replicate it.
Eleanor had intentionally used this detail to her advantage, removing the tag in the restroom.
She said helplessly, “I didn’t even dare to wear this dress after buying it, so I kept it in my bag. If it weren’t for the fact that the dress was dirty, I wouldn’t have worn this.”
Her words immediately eased the tense atmosphere in front of her.
If she had really intended to provoke Mandy, there was no way she would have admitted to wearing a knockoff.
She was simply an adoring fan of Mandy, nothing more.
Inadvertently, Eleanor had elevated Mandy’s status.
Mandy’s expression was clearly much better than before.
“You really should have just come to me if you liked my style so much,” Mandy said with a tone of affection that was enough to make everyone have a good impression of her.
Eleanor apologized, “I won’t do it again. Knockoffs are just knockoffs, and this dress is obviously not the real deal. I won’t buy anything like this in the future.”
Just as she was speaking, Haven quickly walked up.
“I don’t think it’s a knockoff. You didn’t intentionally remove the wash label, did you?” Haven asked.
Eleanor had been waiting for this exact moment. She countered, “Haven, have you bought this brand before? How do you know it’s not a knockoff?”
Haven paused, a bit flustered. “I… I haven’t, but if you say it’s a knockoff, you should have some proof, right?
“Alright then, let me show you the proof.”
Eleanor opened her phone and displayed the purchase information for the knockoff items,
She had to thank Lily for this.

Before Lily married Logan, she worked as a sales assistant in a luxury boutique, and she knew quite a few people who sold knockoffs.
They would ask the sales assistants for product details and then have the items custom–made, usually in exchange for a small kickback.
These sellers of knockoffs could not only replicate items but also fabricate fake purchase information.
With just one word from Lily, they could create the perfect purchase information for her.
After checking the information, Eleanor innocently asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to ask?”
Haven was speechless.
Eleanor then turned to Zoey: “Miss Taylor, happy birthday. There’s no need to trouble everyone with such small matters.
