Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1294

While the design of the necklace closely imitated the original, the inferior quality of the material and

craftsmanship was evident to

Loraine. Not to mention, the diamonds were of a significantly lesser quality. Marina's audacity to pass off such a

cheap knockoff as high-end jewelry showed her disregard for the Bryant family’s reputation.

With composure and grace, Loraine stated, “From my perspective, it appears Marina is the one adorned with the

imitation.”

Marina’s lips quivered, unable to muster a rebuttal.

Observing Loraine’s serene and composed demeanor, Colette felt an intense wave of resentment.

Not again! Why did Loraine always carry this air of indifference, as though she’s above everything else?

If it weren't for Loraine, the Moreau family would not be in their current predicament, and she wouldn't be

subjected to such humiliation, scorned by these fickle trend-followers.

Blinded by fury and bitterness, Colette didn’t hear a word of Loraine’s comments. She retorted, “Loraine, you're

Lying!”

Loraine met her gaze patiently, as though waiting for Colette to state her reasons. The room held its breath,

sensing the mounting tension.

Colette took a deep breath, and asserted with conviction, “Marina’s necklace was a gift from Marco, how could it

possibly be a fake?”

As Colette spoke, Marina's face blanched with terror and disbelief.

Laura had reiterated numerous times when she handed the necklace to

Marina. This issue must remain away from Marco's ears. If he caught wind of it, he'd personally handle the

situation with strict discipline.

Revealing this to Loraine now was tantamount to disclosing it directly to Marco. And Marina absolutely did not

want to cross paths with

Loraine now!

Marina immediately regretted agreeing to Colette's invitation. She shot a nervous glance at Loraine and swiftly

sidled up to Colette, whispering urgently, “Let's drop this. After all, today is a celebration of our companies’

collaboration. Let’s not argue with

Loraine...”

Marina glanced at the audience and leaned closer to whisper to Colette,

“Let's not divulge this and keep it our secret. After all, it wouldn't be suitable to expose Loraine, the respected

CEO of Universe Group, for wearing counterfeit goods, right? It could potentially jeopardize our future

collaborations.”

Colette, however, rebuffed Marina and roared in indignation, “Why should | stay silent about this woman

flaunting fake goods?”

As Colette's declaration resonated throughout the room, eyes drifted towards Loraine, clouded with doubt.

Loraine’s status suggested she wouldn't stoop to counterfeit goods, yet Colette’s bold assurance had everyone

on edge.

Shaking her head, Loraine met the crowd's gaze with a knowing smile.

The gathering tonight, a joint effort by the Bryant and Universe Groups to uplift spirits, wasn’t meant for such

squabbles. She neither had the inclination nor the stamina to tussle with Colette.
