Chapter 448
Sliva said, “Because of this, anyone who manages to buy a piece for themselves would
never consider
reselling it. I’m sure you must’ve felt you were being lied to when told this was a genuine
product.
“I’m also certain Ms. Alexa wouldn’t sell any of her creations to you even if you gave her
all the money in
the world.”
Sliva’s gaze showed a dark, cunning air before she added, “You are far from qualified to be
able to obtain
one, in any respect.”
“You… You!” Sophia cried, eyes bugging out from her face, but she couldn’t find the words.
The guests were on Sliva’s side on this one.
Sophia had caused trouble countless times by now, her reputation in Solana City on a

weren’t for her husband, Javier Beckett, she wouldn’t have been able to stick around any
longer.
It was all the more infuriating that someone who was debased and shameless as Sophia
was calling for
justice to be done.
“Besides,” Sliva said, turning to Betty, “Can you confidently say you had no clue that this
product was a
counterfeit, Ms. Betty?”
Betty tried her best to stand up for herself. “O-Of course I can! I have no reason to buy a

daughter and quivering as if they were the victims.
Sliva ignored her and said to Betty, “I’m sure you still recall who you sought out to make
this fake.”
There was no way Betty was going to respond to her. She’d be digging her own grave
otherwise.

Tyson sighed, looking guilty. He then held out an invoice against the camera for all to see.
“I was commissioned to counterfeit Madam Alexa’s creation, Lacrima Dei. You’ll be able to
see who
commissioned me right on this document here,” said Tyson.
All cameras zoomed into the screen, getting all the footage they could. At the bottom

invoice, two words were written clear as day: Betty Beckett.
Sophia flinched, hurriedly asking Betty, “What is this? Why is your name written there?
Didn’t you say Zoe

Betty nearly burst into tears. “She-She s-set me up, Mom!”
