Chapter 1291

• Lydell smiled and addressed the crowd, “Liza is my friend,” she explained, before turning to Liza with a soft, warm gaze. “I’ll be donating this necklace later. You can wear it for now, if you'd like.”
• Her words only served to strengthen the suspicion in the minds of the guests. The idea of a unique necklace appearing on two women at the same time seemed impossible. If one of them was wearing the real Scorching Heart, the other had to be wearing a fake. Given Lydell’s prominent status as the eldest daughter of the He family and the event’s organizer, it was clear that her necklace couldn’t possibly be fake. After all, why would someone of her standing risk ruining their reputation by wearing counterfeit jewelry?
• Among the socialites and elite women, there was a strong disdain for anything fake. The thought of being caught wearing a knock-off, especially at such a high-profile event, would be enough to destroy anyone’s standing in society. Liza, on the other hand, was now the center of attention. Being exposed in this way on such an important occasion meant she would undoubtedly be mocked and ridiculed by everyone present.
