Chapter 561
Maja was on the third deck of that cruise ship at that moment, getting hassled by some douchebag the moment she arrived.
The guy was about to cop a feel, but she tried to dodge it, but he wouldn’t let up.
After she managed to shake him off, she plopped down on a sofa and saw Carlene Shepard and a few other women approaching.
She could feel an ominous vibe.
Carlene seemed to pay her no mind.
But Maja was dressed to kill tonight, attracting the attention of all the other women, one of them being Carlene’s good friend, Laura, who had just recently won a newcomer award. She was probably there all thanks to Carlene.
In that circle, many people held a lot of respect for Carlene.
As lan’s ex–girlfriend, her influence was significant.
When Laura caught a glimpse of Maja’s dress, her eyes lit up, “Isn’t this the dress that just got showcased in a fashion show three days ago? There’s only one in the world, and it’s not even on sale yet!”
Her words instantly caught the attention of the surrounding women. Women were always sensitive to the topic of clothes, especially, those women who often attended the fashion shows.
So, the women who were initially at a distance, immediately flocked over only to realize they didn’t know Maja.
Those celebs frequently attended such parties, knowing many influential people and socialites, but Maja was a face they hadn’t seen before.
Someone whispered, “Do you think the dress is fake?”
Wearing knockoffs at such a formal event would make her the laughingstock of everyone.
Laura turned to Carlene and asked, “Carlene, do you know her?”
Carlene scoffed internally, “I got no clue.”
She had been worried for the past month that lan would find out about Maja. Each time she tried to set up a dinner date with him, he would turn her down, making her increasingly anxious.
Luckily, lan was still in the dark.
Carlene had lost a whole 20 pounds, and seeing Maja made her blood boil.
The Shepard family had recently bought a plot of land for 180 million, and the new plan just went public.
The planned commercial zone and school that were supposed to be built on the land have now been canceled.
The Shepard family’s business was in real estate, they had originally planned to build and sell houses on that land.
But suddenly with no commercial zone or school, and even the subway planning being changed had pushed off the potential homebuyers. Now it would be an idiotic move to choose that place.

So, the 180 million they spent on the land had become a burden. The state of the Shepard family was a hot mess, and no one knew what to do.
If they sell off the land, they’d definitely get lowballed, and they might not even be able to get back 80 million.
But if they don’t sell and stubbornly go ahead with building houses, they’d be looking at a loss of at least 200 million or more.
Thinking about how she had bid against Maja that day at the auction, Carlene felt a twinge in her chest.
That woman definitely did it on purpose.
Now a bunch of people were debating whether Maja’s dress was real or fake; Laura even dramatically covered her mouth.
“Could it really be a knock–off?”
She pointed disrespectfully at Maja.
“Stand up, let us see your dress. I bet it’s a fake.”
Maja frowned slightly, seeing more and more people gathering around, she couldn’t help but slowly rise.
A few of the women saw her stunning figure and were filled with jealousy..
Especially Carlene, she was livid.
Why was she so damn gorgeous!
It‘ was not fair.
Her breathing started to become rapid, but she had to hold it in, she would let Laura the bimbo deal with it later.
If she made a fool of herself here, she might not be able to show her face in Greenfield again.
Maja was about to leave when Laura’s face darkened instantly.
“Hey, hold it right there. What’s with the attitude? Don’t you know who we are?”
Among them were socialites and top actresses, only her status was somewhat lower. But she was currently dating Kurt Gallegos, the young master of a banking empire. If they ended up being married, she could be considered as marrying into wealth.
Laura quickly took a few steps forward, standing directly in front of Maja.
But Maja’s outfit and aura were so striking, she immediately stole her thunder. Standing together, the other person immediately paled in comparison.
Laura seemed to notice that and was pissed off.
“What’s the deal with wearing knockoffs to a place like this? We don’t know how you managed to weasel your way in here. Are you trying to boost your social status

or something?”
Maja gave a small smile; she saw taura’s dress tonight was a delicate blue piece with a painting in the middle. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Then she asked,
“What brand is your dress?”
Laura and the others around her immediately burst out laughing, because that was no small–time brand.
Although it wasn’t a global big–name brand, it was a brand everyone could recognize. They didn’t expect that woman to not know.
“Where are you from, the sticks? You don’t even know this brand, guess your dress really is a fake. Someone, come and toss this phony out!*
