Seeing the disdainful glances pointed at Lucinda, Dwayne stepped forward to protect her.
Then he looked at Presley and sneered, âMrs.
Turner, do you really think Iâd let my date wear a fake?â
Presley was speechless.
And all the color drained from Marioâs face.
What could they do?
If they accused that Dwayneâs date was wearing a fake, the Gordon family would be humiliated.
Consequently, theyâd make things difficult for the Turner family in the future.
But if he said that theirs was a fake, then their own reputation would be ruined.
They were caught between a rock and a hard place.
No matter what they did, the Turner family would lose.
Mario gritted his teeth anxiously.
He didnât expect that something like this would happen at their banquet.
Everyone was at a loss.
Not knowing who was telling the truth, the crowd started whispering amongst each other.
Just then, Vivien suddenly stepped forward.
âDid you buy the dress for her yourself, Mr.
Gordon?â
Dwayne didnât lie.
âNo.
â
âThen she couldâve lied to you about the dress.
â
Vivien smiled proudly, turning towards the crowd with flourish.
âIâm sure no one knows this woman, so allow me to introduce her.
Sheâs just an orphan my grandfather adopted from the welfare house.
Her name is Lucinda Ross.
âShe used to steal things when she lived with us in our house.
If it werenât for my motherâs kindness, she wouldâve been driven out.
How could she afford a Miss Zâs dress? It has to be a fake!â

When Vivien finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
Their impression towards to Lucinda took a turn for the worse.
Because he knew Lucindaâs true identity, Dwayne was instantly irritated by Vivienâs words.
âWho do you think you are? How dare you speak ill of my date?â
Vivien faltered slightly.
She was jealous and angry that Dwayne still stood up for Lucinda.
But because she couldnât afford to offend the Gordon family, she had to swallow her anger.
âMr.
Gordon, youâve been cheated by this woman.
