Chapter 1080 A counterfeit
” I will compensate for your dress, but please provide me with the purchase record. I will
take full
responsibility.” Charlotte said confidently.
“Unfortunately, I can’t find the purchase record…” Wendy said calmly, but her hands
clenched into fists at
her sides.
“No problem,” Charlotte continued, undeterred. “Chanel clothes have unique serial
numbers, we can
easily verify it.”
Charlotte’s tone was gentle, yet it made Wendy break out in a cold sweat.
Enter title…
After weighing the pros and cons, she quickly changed her tune, “It’s just a dress, there’s
no need to make
a big deal out of it. Let’s just forget about it.”

However, Charlotte wasn’t willing to let it go. She stated firmly, “Although your dress looks
similar to the
new Chanel dress, it’s clear to anyone that they are not the same.”
This statement caused a stir among the onlookers. Were they implying that Wendy had
bought a
counterfeit?
“Wendy is actually this kind of person!” People began to discuss in hushed tones, and
even Bella looked
at Wendy in disbelief.
Wendy bit her lip, her face changed several times, but she decided to stick to the high
price of the dress.
“I don’t know what you mean, but when I bought it through a proxy, it was indeed at this
price,” Wendy
said.
Charlotte maintained her gentle smile, “No problem, as long as you can provide proof of
payment, I’m
willing to compensate you at the original price.”
Wendy regretted her greediness, realizing that she shouldn’t have reported such a high
price. Seeing the
change in people’s attitudes, she resorted to her usual tactic… she started crying.
With teary eyes, she said, “I bought this dress two or three years ago, and the payment
record has long
since disappeared. Today was just an innocent accident. I can’t provide evidence, can’t
you just
compensate me without it?”
As she spoke, many people’s expressions subtly changed, and their gazes softened.
Just as Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she could leave, Charlotte frowned, “We
are not

discussing the same thing. If your dress is worth six thousand dollars, we must
compensate for it if we soil
it. But if your dress is not worth six thousand dollars, and you demand that amount…”
Her gaze fell on Wendy’s uncertain face, “Isn’t that extortion?”
As soon as the word “extortion” was mentioned, everyone was in an uproar.
Perhaps they hadn’t thought deeply about it before, but when the word was officially
brought up, they
suddenly realized.
Just as Wendy’s face changed dramatically and she was about to say more, the school’s
headteacher
walked over.
After quickly glancing at the two, she made a decision, “Since we can’t resolve this right
now, let’s discuss
it in the teacher’s office.”
Wendy immediately agreed. She knew she wouldn’t benefit from a public discussion, and
it would be
better to have a smaller, private discussion. She could always claim she remembered
wrong.
Charlotte also agreed, but before leaving, she gave Wendy a meaningful look.
