Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 124

Isabel’s expression changed in an instant. Honestly, this was the first time she’d ever heard of something like this.

She’d rarely run into anyone wearing the same dress before. Usually, she placed orders directly with the brand’s boutiques, though she hadn’t reached the VVIP status just yet. This time, the dress was so hard to get that she’d gone through a private contact. But she’d paid a fortune for it, so she wasn’t afraid of any verification.

Effie was just digging her own grave—Isabel could already picture her embarrassment.

With a confident smile, Isabel said, “Alright, since Miss Bagnold is so sure of herself, why don’t we verify it right here? But if it turns out to be a fake, I hope Miss Bagnold will be prepared to take responsibility for her actions.”

Effie smiled calmly, her voice steady. “Of course. If my dress is a fake, I’ll take responsibility. But, Miss Isabel, if it turns out your dress has a problem, what will you do?”

Isabel’s smile faltered for a split second, but she quickly regained her composure. “There’s nothing to worry about. My dress is absolutely authentic.”

Sigrid, standing nearby, gave a sharp laugh and cut in, “Effie, stop pretending to be brave. If your dress turns out to be a knock-off, let’s see how you’ll even show your face here!”

Effie ignored Sigrid’s taunt. She simply took out her phone and opened the official UKISS authentication page, then gently lifted the hem of her gown to reveal the security code hidden along the inside seam. The code was so discreet that most people had no idea it was even there.

A hush fell over the crowd as people watched in surprise. So there was a trick like this?

Effie aimed the code at her phone’s camera. Instantly, the screen displayed the verification details:

“UKISS Private Couture, Serial No. A-2025-001, Custom Order: Effie.”
