Chapter 61
Erin’s words shocked everyone and their gazes toward Sheena turned sour instantly.
Skye was well aware of Sheena’s background, and he immediately became furious. “Who do you think you are? How dare you spew nonsense about my companion!”
Seeing that Skye was still defending Sheena despite what she had said, Erin felt angry and jealous. Nonetheless, she dared not provoke Skye as he was known for his bad temper. Hence, Erin could only clench her fists in frustration and said, “Mr. Zimmer, Sheena has obviously deceived you! She’s really good at seducing men, and she even had my grandpa wrapped around her finger!”
“Enough with your nonsense! Sheena is actually…”
Skye felt someone pinching his arm, silencing him abruptly. Then, he glanced at Sheena, who merely shook her head.
Elijah, who had been silently observing the scene, frowned when he caught these subtle interactions.
Following Sheena’s signal, Skye remained silent.
Sheena stepped forward, smiling at Erin as she mocked, “It seems the lesson from last time. wasn’t enough for you. You can’t seem to control your mouth.”
Erin felt a cold shiver run down her spine under Sheena’s intense gaze. However, she believed that Sheena would not dare to take any extreme actions, considering they were in a public setting and had some distance between them. Thus, Erin continued her accusations boldly, How could you shamelessly bring that up? You barged into my home, wrecked my things, and
even…”
“Erin Freeman,” Elijah warned from afar.
Erin shuddered. If Elijah called her by her full name, it meant that he was genuinely angry. Though unwilling, Erin had to ignore the previous incident and return to the topic at hand.
“Hmph! No matter what, the fact remains that your gown is a knockoff. Instead of making a fool out of yourself later, why not admit it now?”
Sheena remained silent.

On the stage, Jennifer took the microphone and said, “Sheena, if you really like Ms. Zoe’s First Snow this much, I can give it to you after the banquet. Today is a special day for me, and I want everyone to enjoy themselves. Why don’t you go with my servants and change into a new gown?”
Jennifer’s generous and kind words earned her the crowd’s favor and sealed the argument about Sheena’s gown being a knockoff.
Seeing that, Kennedy signaled to Vanessa.
Vanessa promptly motioned to their servants and ordered, “Take our guest to a room and help her change into another gown.”
Two servants immediately moved forward, ready to escort Sheena off the red carpet.
At this point, every guest in the room assumed that her gown was a knockoff, and no one stepped forward to defend her as they all looked at her disdainfully.
The contrast was stark. One was the heiress of the Moore family, while the other was an orphan.
The difference in their backgrounds was evident to all.
Just as the servants approached, Sheena finally said, “Hold on.”
Then, she smiled gently and looked at Jennifer, “Ms. Zoe’s designs are not just beautiful, but
the craftsmanship and unique details in each piece are unparalleled. The best imitation can mimic the appearance but not capture the essence of the craftsmanship.”
Jennifer was puzzled, asking, “What are you trying to say?”
Sheena replied proudly, “Ms. Moore, if you insist that your gown is authentic, would to have a dance–off with me with Lover?”
you
dare
The Lover was a particularly challenging tango dance, showcasing various sides of a woman, from gentle, wild, to playful. The difficulty lay in its intricate steps and rhythmic changes. A momentary distraction could lead to losing synchronization with the music.
The whole room was in shock!
Was the woman out of her mind?
Who gave
her the audacity to suggest such a battle?
Did she think she had not embarrassed herself enough?
Dancing an intricate and high–intensity tango would undoubtedly expose the flaws in the knockoff gown’s craftsmanship, and one could easily embarrass themselves by performing such a dance in front of so many people.
However, since someone was willing to make a fool of themselves, the guests were more than happy to watch the show.
