Chapter 595
Cindy was furious upon hearing the mockery in Rachel’s words. Driven by rage, she raised her hand and was about to slap Rachel hard across the face. “Rachel Grey!”
Her palm sliced through the air, approaching Rachel’s face rapidly with a sharp wind.
The people around could not help but gasp when they said th
They did not know if they should praise Cindy Tory for being bold enough to raise her hand at Rachel in front of Mr. Jones, or silently pray for her in their hearts.
The next second, Rachel easily grabbed Cindy’s wrist without even blinking.
She held Cindy’s wrist tightly. Her expression was calm, but her grip tightened bit by bit. Cindy felt so painful that she frowned and her face turned pale.
She struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail,
“Rachel. let go of me!” Cindy’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
She felt like if this went on, Rachel was going to break her wrist.
Rachel’s grip on Cindy’s wrist did not loosen at all. It was as if she did not hear her at all.
At this moment, the intense pain had already robbed Cindy’s ability to speak. All she could do was struggle instinctively.
Then, Rachel suddenly let go.
Caught off guard, Cindy stag ger*d and fell to the ground in a hideous manner.
Rip-
Along with the ripping sound of fabric, Cindy’s gown was torn from the side of her chest to the waistline of her back.
She cried out in surprise and was flustered. For a moment, she did not know whether to cover her waist or the side of her chest.
She wrapped her arms tightly around herself, curled up her body, and glared fiercely at Rachel with a twisted and ferocious expression. If looks could kill, she would have torn Rachel up and eaten her flesh
alive.
Rachel raised her hand and brushed the loose hair behind her ear. Her smile was pure and kind, but as fake as fake smiles go. “Miss Tory, why are you looking at me like that? Didn’t you tell me to let go?”
“You!” Cindy was so bent out of shape that her chest heaved up and down. From the corner of her eye, she saw David standing relatively close by and realized that the man had no intention of interfering at all. On the contrary, it seemed like he was enjoying the show.
Jealousy spread like wildfire in Cindy’s heart, but she had to maintain a trace of calmness and continue to confront Rachel. “There are two options in front of you now. Either you compensate me according to the price I paid for this dress, or I’ll see you at the police station!”
So what if Rachel had David’s support? David could only help her so much.
Cindy refused to believe that there was not a single place for reason in the entire Seaxas.
“I’m just worried you might end up even more embarrassed than you already are.” At this moment, a teasing voice sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction the voice came from.
It was Mary Green who elegantly walked over in a strapless halter dress.
Her lips curled into a deep smile as she scanned Cindy’s gown from head to toe, the ridicule in her eyes. becoming more and more obvious. “Miss Tory, aren’t you bold, wearing a knockoff and pretending it’s from my The Raimant Collection?” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
*Knockoff? What are you talking about?” Cindy’s eyes flashed. She straightened her neck, looked at Mary Green, and said, “I know you’re the boss of The Raimant Collection. So why don’t you open your eyes. wide and take a good look? This dress is one of the creations by your mysterious designer Queen! Plus, I have the proof of purchase. Even if this is a knockoff, it’ll be because your brand, The Raimant Collection. is lying to its customers!”
“Rae-Rae, she said that you designed this piece of garbage. Don’t you think that’s slander? She also accused The Raimant Collection of deceiving consumers. Isn’t that defamation?” Mary Green looked at Rachel.
Cindy frowned and sneered. “This is a work by the mysterious designer Queen. What does it have to do with Rachel…”
Halfway through her sentence, her voice seemed to go bo*rse. Then, it stopped abruptly.
Her eyes widened with shock as she stared at Rachel with a stiff and dull expression.
No matter how slow the people around were, they all realized what Mary Green meant. They looked at Rachel in astonishment.
There were a ton of designers in the country, but only a few were renowned in the industry.
Especially those famous designers whose work was hard to purchase.
The mysterious designer Queen was one of them.
Though The Raimant Collection brand had a short history, its rapid development made its high-end products highly sought after by both domestic and foreign celebrities.
As the chief designer of these high-end products, Queen had ama**ed countless fans.
However, over the years, the mysterious designer Queen had never appeared in public. The people were left wondering about Queen’s identity. In fact, they did not even know what Queen’s gender was.
To think that this person was actually Rachel?
The more Cindy thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. However, since the founder of The Raimant Collection, Mary Green said it herself, people could not help but wonder.
After a long while, Cindy finally was able to speak again. “You, you’re the mysterious designer Queen?”
Rachel casually nodded. “This is a design from many years ago. I didn’t expect Miss Tory to treasure a knockoff this much.
She circled around Cindy, her sharp gaze scanning the dress. “The materials and craftsmanship are about 90% similar. Well, Miss Tory, it looks like your 360 thousand dollars was not a complete waste.”
What Rachel said was basically an indirect confirmation that she was indeed the mysterious designer Queen. She even explicitly pointed out that the dress Cindy was wearing was indeed a fake.
This gown was a knockoff. No matter how similar it was to the real one, it could never truly be.
Cindy had spent 360 thousand dollars on a knockoff.
Moreover, she had flaunted this fake dress all night and told everyone she talked to about how difficult it was to obtain it. Now, those words only felt like slaps on her face.
The onlookers’ gazes felt like sharp knives cutting through her dress.
At this moment, she felt exposed, as though she was standing nude before everyone.
A strong sense of humiliation surged like a tide, suffocating and almost drowning her.
Biting her lip and lowering her head, she tried her best to ignore the judgmental stares from everyone around her.
After pondering for a long time, she spoke again, “What evidence do you have!”
Hearing this, the people around finally regained a slight sense of calmness from the shock and started pondering.
Over the years, the mysterious designer Queen had always kept a low profile. People had no idea what Queen’s gender was, but it was always rumored that Queen was a man.
If that were true, how could Queen be Rachel?
“I know that Miss Green is the founder of The Raimant Collection. For years, she has never disclosed any information about the mysterious designer Queen. Yet, today, she suddenly claims that Rachel is Queen. Isn’t this a bit too unusual?” Cindy’s eyes narrowed. A smile that was far from friendly appeared on her face, like a venomous snake ready to strike.
As the crowd listened to her calm analysis, their expressions wavered.
“You claim to be the mysterious designer Queen, but what evidence do you have?”
“Even if you have Mr. Jones backing you, you can’t just talk nonsense. Are you aware of the mysterious designer Queen’s reputation in the industry? How dare you impersonate Queen? Are you looking to die?” To claim you’re the mysterious designer Queen based on a single statement? Who would believe you?
