The Inescapable Celibate Heir Chapter 185: She Is Too Rich
Natalia stealthily moved closer to Victoria, pretending to play on her phone. In reality, she was aiming her phone's camera at Victoria, snapping a half-body shot.
She zoomed in on the sleeve, but it wasn't clear enough. She moved three rows closer, and this time, the sleeve was finally in focus.
Just as she was about to take the picture, Mira's loud voice rang out, "Natalia, what are you sneaking around for?"
Startled, Natalia accidentally pressed the shutter. She quickly checked the photo; it was clear.
She immediately sent it to her personal shopper with a message: [My classmate is wearing a 'Moonlight' couture piece. Can you check if it's real?]
After sending the message, Natalia looked up with a nonchalant expression and said, "I'm just playing on my phone. You don't think I'm secretly taking pictures of you, do you? That's a bit self-absorbed."
Mira had initially thought Natalia's behavior was odd—suddenly distancing herself from Ella's group and moving several rows closer, casting suspicious glances.
But when Natalia mentioned taking pictures, Mira immediately guessed, "You're taking pictures of Victoria's new outfit, aren't you?" She stood up, trying to grab Natalia's phone.
Natalia quickly hid her phone behind her back, stepping back several times, defiantly saying, "What's it to you?"
Victoria, watching coldly, said, "Sharing someone's photo without permission is an invasion of privacy. I suggest you delete it."
Natalia glanced at her phone; her shopper hadn't replied yet. But now that she was closer, she could clearly see that the embroidery on Victoria's sleeve was different from the logo on the official website.
Feeling confident, she retorted, "You're wearing a fake, trying to show off, and you don't want me to confirm it. You're just afraid of being exposed!"
Victoria was taken aback and laughed. A fake? With Diana's status, would she need to buy her daughter a fake?
Mira, furious, pointed at Natalia, "What makes you think Victoria's wearing a fake? You take pictures without permission and then insult her. How shameless can you be?"
Their classmates, noticing the argument, started to pay attention.
Some thought Victoria's outfit looked well-made and genuine. Others thought the design wasn't available in stores, suspecting it might be a high-quality fake with a "Moonlight" label.
As the discussion grew, Ella walked over, smiling, trying to mediate, "Victoria, don't be mad. We're just worried you might have been scammed into buying a fake. I believe you're not the type to intentionally buy fakes to show off. But the embroidery on your sleeve does look different from the official logo."
Ella's comment made everyone notice the difference. Comparing their own clothes' logos with the official images, they saw that Victoria's was indeed different.
They started to believe Ella, thinking Victoria was vain and had bought a fake to save money.
Some were disdainful, while others thought the fake was well-made and pretty, wondering where Victoria got it.
But even if they were curious, they wouldn't openly support buying fakes—it was too embarrassing.
Mira, her face flushed with anger, said, "There's no way Victoria would buy a fake. Her family is loaded!"
But she didn't know why Victoria's logo was different, and neither did Victoria.
Just then, Natalia's phone rang—it was her personal shopper.
Her eyes lit up as she answered, putting the call on speaker and holding the phone up for everyone to hear, "This is my shopper. She's got a great eye. If you don't believe me, listen to what she says."
Ella watched the phone expectantly, barely able to contain her smile at the thought of Victoria being exposed in front of everyone.
The shopper's voice echoed through the classroom, "Your classmate has great taste. She looks stunning. Ask her if I can use her photo for promotion. Seeing how good she looks will definitely attract more buyers. I'll give you a discount."
Natalia was stunned for a second before replying, "But she's wearing a fake! How can you use a fake for advertising?"
The shopper replied, "Who said it's a fake? I can tell it's real at a glance."
Natalia started to panic, glancing at Ella, stammering, "But the logo on her sleeve is different from the official one."
The shopper's tone was relaxed, "You're talking about the close-up of the sleeve, right? That font is a custom design, very elegant. You wouldn't know because you don't buy much. If you spend over a million dollars at 'Moonlight,' you can customize the logo. It's hand-embroidered by artisans, different from the machine-made standard ones. The wealthy always seek uniqueness; that's what makes it high-end."
The shopper was right. Diana had spent three million dollars at 'Moonlight,' so Victoria's sleeve logo was her own design.
Everyone stared at Victoria's sleeve in shock. Changing the font cost a million dollars, maybe more. She was incredibly wealthy!
Ella's smile froze. The shopper continued asking for Victoria's contact information, but Natalia, not wanting to hear more, hung up.
She regretted putting the call on speaker. Now everyone was mocking her for her ignorance.
Indeed, the lives of the rich were beyond the imagination of the poor!
