After she finished speaking, all the people present were shocked.
The way he looked at Sylvia suddenly changed.
Tom knew who Sylvia was, and his hot temper was instantly ignited. “Who do you think you are? How dare you say that about my friend?”
Seeing Tom defending Sylvia, Mia was jealous and angry.
However, she did not dare to offend Tom. She could only suppress her anger and say, “Mr. Walker, you’ve been deceived by this woman. She’s pretentious. In the past, she has fooled my grandfather!”
“Bullshit! Sylvia is…”
The person behind him suddenly pinched his arm hard. Tom stopped talking abruptly and turned to look at Sylvia.
Sylvia frowned slightly and shook her head with a meaningful look.
Edgar, in the crowd, who had been silent all the time, saw everything happen clearly and frowned subconsciously.
On the other side, Tom, who had received the signal from Sylvia, fell silent.
Sylvia walked past him and looked straight at Mia. She smiled and said, “It seems the lesson last time wasn’t enough.”
Being stared at by her, Mia was scared, and his knees felt cold instantly.
Mia believed that Sylvia wouldn’t dare to do anything to her in front of so many people, and considering the distance between them, she braced herself up to accuse her.
“How dare you mention the last time? Last time, you broke into my house and smashed things just because you had a sugar daddy. You even…”
“Mia Fallen.”
Not far away, Edgar called out to her in a calm tone.
Mia shivered subconsciously. Normally, her brother called her by her full name only when he was extremely angry.

She was unwilling to give up but had to let go of what had happened last time and return to the topic
tonight.
“Humph, no matter what, the one you’re wearing is a fake. You might admit it now instead of making a fool of yourself later!”
Sylvia didn’t say anything.
However, Nancy took the microphone and said, “Sylvia, if you like the dress, I can give it to you later.
Today is special for me. I don’t want anything unpleasant to happen. If you want, I can ask the servant to take you to the dressing room to get changed.”
Her generous and kind speech won her a good impression and confirmed that Sylvia’s dress was fake.
Seeing this, Jack immediately winked at Emma.
“Take the guest to the guest room.” She ordered the servants.
The two servants immediately went to Sylvia, still standing on the red carpet.
At this time, all the guests present tacitly agreed that the dress she was wearing was a high–quality
imitation. They looked at her with disdain and disgust.
After all, Nancy was the daughter of the Mellis family, and Sylvia was an orphan who grew up in an
orphanage. The difference in status between them was so significant that the truth was obvious.
“Hold on.”
When the servants approached, Sylvia finally spoke.
She smiled and looked at Nancy on the stage gently. “Miss Zoey’s dresses are usually not only beautiful in
style but also unique. No matter how powerful it is, it can’t reach the essence even if it can imitate its
appearance.”
Nancy was puzzled. “What do you want to say?”
Sylvia curled her lips as if she was born with pride.
“If you truly claim your dress is genuine, are you brave enough to challenge me in the ‘Lover’s Dance‘?”
“Lover” was the most challenging dance of the tango dance. It showed the gentle, wild, delicate, and willful side of a woman. The difficulty of this dance lay in the variety of dance steps and rhythms. If one were slightly distracted, they would never be able to keep up with music.
Everyone was shocked!

“Is this woman crazy?”
Who gave her the confidence to say that?
Did she want to embarrass herself even more?
After such an intense dance, the poorly crafted imitation dress would unravel on the spot.
In front of so many people, it would be an unprecedented humiliation.
However, Sylvia was willing to make a fool of herself, so they were happy to watch the show.
On the stage, Nancy and Sylvia looked at each other. She was also confused, wondering, “Where did
Sylvia get the confidence to think that the one on her is authentic?
“And when did Sylvia learn the tango?”
It was a high–level dance in the upper class. She had learned it only recently. But “Lover” was
complicated. She could barely remember the movements now.
“What if this bitch knew how to dance better than me?”
Nancy was thinking uneasily.
Sylvia smiled and said, “Miss Mellis, “Seeing that she didn’t respond. Are you afraid?”
This was a blatant provocation. If Nancy didn’t accept it, she would be looked down upon or even thought to be guilty.
Mia promptly stepped forward, offering words of encouragement to Nancy. “Don’t fret, Nancy. Instead of being afraid, let her take the lead and make a spectacle of herself in front of everyone!”
“That’s right! I almost forgot!” Nancy thought.
Nancy’s eyes lit up. Sylvia was wearing a fake dress. No matter how well she danced, it would fray after
the dance. At that time, she would make a fool of herself.
After thinking it through, Nancy took the microphone and said, “Since you insist, Sylvia, let’s do it.”
As she spoke, she gently pinched the hem of her skirt and bowed to everyone with a smile.
The guests were very fond of her tricks and thought highly of her.
In the end, Nancy chose to dance first.
It was best for her to jump first and earn enough publicity.

Because it was a dance between men and women, Nancy subconsciously looked toward Edgar.
But his seat was empty, and no one knew where he was.
There was no other way. Nancy couldn’t run out to find him in front of many people.
Therefore, she chose the most handsome man among the guests as her dance partner.
As the music started playing, the two began dancing to the rhythm.
Although Nancy didn’t dance very well, she memorized the first half of the dance, which was quite complete. Most importantly, she was the center of tonight’s banquet, and everyone supported her.
Nancy was overjoyed. She thought her performance had amazed everyone, so she danced even harder.
However, just as she was waving her arms up to the music, a hissing sound was inside her arm.
Her voice was so low that it was covered entirely by music, but she could feel it clearly as the person
involved.
Was her dress ripped apart?
Nancy suddenly panicked.
How was this possible? She was sure her dress was authentic. Was it because her movements were too jarring?
As she thought resentfully, she restrained herself a lot.
And because of her uneasiness, she missed the rhythm and stretched out her right foot, which happened
to step on the dance partner!
All of a sudden, there was a dead silence.
Nancy retracted her foot awkwardly and stopped dancing in advance.
“I’m sorry, everyone. I just came back from abroad. I just learned this logo two days ago. I didn’t perform very well.”
Mia was very polite. “You can dance like this after learning for only two days. Nancy, you don’t have to act so modestly. You’re already doing great!”
To save face for the Mellis family, many guests praised Nancy.
Jack and Anna returned with modest smiles on their faces.

Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. She was even more convinced that her movements just now were too big and didn’t break the thread. Her dress couldn’t be a high imitation!
The dance was barely over. Although she didn’t dance well, at least her clothes were fine.
The
way the crowd looked at Sylvia suddenly became stranger.
Mia provoked.
“Nancy has finished dancing. It’s your turn now!”
