NovelAppChapter 745 Mia glanced over at Nikki, wondering how she'd realized that Shelly was wearing a fake. She had the real one with her, but no one had the chance to sneak a glance at it. How could she possibly tell its authenticity? In the next instant, Shelly replied confidently, “I did wear a knockoff before, but | bought everything I'm wearing now at the private fashion show yesterday. You're not even eligible to receive an invitation, so stop yapping.” Another socialite chimed in, “Shelly, did you really buy all the haute couture from yesterday's show? You didn’t even save a piece for us!” “Oh, Mrs. Mayweather! It's all thanks to Monalize’s platinum membership card that | got to select the pieces in advance. She bought them fortoo!” Shelly's tone was laced with triumph as she shot a proud look at Nikki. “You get it now, don’t you?” Nikki fell silent immediately.
Mia heaved a sigh of relief. Shelly probably wore a lot of knockoffs back then because she couldn't afford the genuine pieces.
Realizing that Shelly hadn't found out about the highly identical dress she had replaced for her, she was relieved.
alize, let's go over there and have something delicious. | heard the chef is from a famous five-star Micilin restaurant. Not everyone gets to taste his food.” Mia smiled and left the garden with Shelly. They both headed toward the dining area on the lawn nearby.

Nikki stomped her feet in frustration. “Mom, who is that woman? What if she’s really Mia Bowen?” “She’s definitely not. She's just a fake.” Still, Amelia felt quite uncertain. However, Timothy did remain single for four years after his divorce and steered clear of other women.
Just then, Luna fell behind deliberately and approached them. “Don’t fret, Ms. Chapman. | heard that Ms. Monalize is a divorcee with a sick daughter. She's incomparable to you.” Nikki becwary. “What are you implying? Are you trying to curry favor with me?” “You've misunderstood, Ms. Chapman. I'm nothing compared to your status, so | can’t pose any threat to you. It's just that Ms.
Monalize is known for her hostility. She definitely wouldn't accommodate my child and me. But Ms. Chapman, you're so kind and generous. | know you won't let us end up on the streets.” Amelia's smile widened. “Thanks for the insight, Ms. Maynard. Rest assured. Nikki isn’t petty, so it won't be a problem for us to take your child under our wing.” Luna's status wasn't respectable, after all. The inheritance would never fall in Asher’s favor, so Amelia figured it was enough to just spare them s money to scrape by.

Nikki and Amelia promptly returned to the dining area, where most of the guests were gathered.
Mia selected appetizers, desserts, and main courses. She intended to taste the food. She'd arrange for them to be replaced should they turn out bad.
“This dessert is too sweet to my liking. Do they have such an overwhelming sweet tooth in Nord Cry? Lillian Mayweather set her plate down after a bite. She didn’t seem to like it.

was indeed too sweet.
She'd been observing the socialites’ feedback on the food, making mental notes as she went along. If she won over their palates, Aide Castle would soon rise to fame in Bern City. Her business would be thriving by then.
Luna suddenly said, “Ms. Monalize, you took a lot of food. Can you finish all of them?” Her words drew everyone's attention.
Mia did have a couple of small plates in front of her, which appeared abundant despite the modest poftions of food on each plate.
