The Inescapable Celibate Heir Chapter 184: She Wears Counterfeit Goods

Just then, Victoria and Mira walked in, catching everyone's attention. 

Natalia stared at Victoria's outfit for a moment, then asked skeptically, "Is she wearing a 'Moonlight' set?"

Jasmine burst out laughing. "'Moonlight'? That small, tacky brand?"

Natalia couldn't help but look at Victoria with envy. She whispered, "But 'Moonlight' is really popular this year. I tried to get someone to buy it for me, but they said it was sold out. It looks like she's wearing the latest collection, perfect for snowy weather." 

Normally, Natalia wouldn't contradict Jasmine because she wanted to stay on her good side to get better roles. 

But she had her own taste and followed fashion closely. She could tell that Victoria's outfit was impeccably designed and tailored.

Jasmine scoffed, "It's just a small domestic brand. Do they really think they can compete with high-end brands like Zantria just because they had a show in Nordhaven?" 

She added, "The owner of 'Moonlight' personally begged my mom to endorse them, but she turned them down. It's all just marketing hype. Classic luxury brands are still the epitome of elegance."

Lila nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, only idiots who follow trends without their own opinions would buy such influencer clothes. You can tell the quality is bad and the price is inflated."

Ella sneered as well. Even though Victoria looked good in her outfit, she was still an illegitimate child and would never be respectable. 

The Scott family might not be as wealthy as the Hamilton family, but Ella was the only daughter of the Scotts. 

Victoria was just the product of Nick's father's affair, just like Jasmine had her own family issues. How could they compare to her noble background? 

Once they all debuted, spreading this information online would make people despise them. Who wouldn't hate the daughter of a homewrecker?

Victoria and Mira ignored their comments and headed straight to the back seats. 

Soon, the rest of the students arrived. 

To everyone's surprise, many were wearing 'Moonlight' pieces, some even in full sets. 

These stylish young people were exactly 'Moonlight's' target customers. They excitedly discussed the brand's clothes.

"This jacket took me four hours of waiting in line at the 'Moonlight' flagship store to get! There were so many people wanting to buy it, I almost missed out!"

"I'm so jealous! I was late and had to pay extra to get this dress from someone else. I heard 'Moonlight' has a promotion where if you spend over $100,000, you get an exclusive bag. Did you know that?"

"'Moonlight' clothes aren't that expensive, just a few hundred to a thousand dollars each. How long would it take to spend $100,000?"

"You don't know? The ones we see in the store are the affordable line. 'Moonlight' had a show in Nordhaven, and they have a high-end line with much better materials and cuts. It's pretty pricey. I had to beg my mom to buy it for me."

Someone reached out to touch the hem of her dress, marveling, "The fabric is definitely finer. But is Victoria's outfit also 'Moonlight'? I haven't seen anyone else wearing it."

"That looks like the same collection from the Nordhaven show, the hardest to get high-end series! Wow, does Victoria's family have that much clout?"

Soon, all eyes were on Victoria. They envied her wealth and connections, allowing her to get limited-edition clothes that no one else could.

Ella was not happy hearing this. She searched the "Moonlight" website, trying to find out which collection Victoria's outfit was from and how much it cost. 

But as she looked closely, she noticed something off and called Lila over. "Look, this embroidered 'Moonlight' on the cuff—doesn't the pattern on Victoria's outfit look different from the one on the website?"

Lila craned her neck to look at Victoria's sleeve and said, "Yeah, the website's logo is printed neatly. Victoria's looks a bit crooked. Could she be wearing a fake? And not just any fake, but a low-quality one with the wrong logo."

Lila often bought counterfeit luxury goods herself and spent a lot of time selecting ones with good craftsmanship so that most people couldn't tell she was using fakes. 

This greatly fed her vanity, which was why she immediately suspected that Victoria was wearing a counterfeit.

Natalia clapped her hands, suddenly realizing. "I get it now. She must be trying to show off in front of everyone, so she bought a fake. 'Moonlight's' high-end pieces are so expensive, Victoria probably can't afford them!"

Ella pouted. "No way, I don't think Victoria is that vain. She used to wear unbranded clothes last semester. I even went home and told my parents to spend some money on her."

Lila said, "Ella, you're too kind. Some people are just dumb and mean. Maybe Victoria wanted to make a splash with a cheap fake, not expecting us to catch on."

Jasmine snorted. "Can't you tell? Take a picture and send it to a reseller. They can definitely tell. Natalia, you have a reseller contact, right?"

Natalia quickly pulled out her phone, trying to get a clear shot. 

Ella smiled to herself, anticipating the moment they would expose Victoria for wearing a fake in front of everyone. 

She thought to herself how amusing it was that Victoria was about to be humiliated even before the hacker had a chance to act.
