Chapter 149: 0149 Lucy Wood’s Responsibility_1 Chapter 149: 0149 Lucy Wood’s Responsibility_1 “Lucy Wood is so rich and yet she puts her sister in a knockoff?”

Naya York could hardly contain her laughter when she saw the news. She was in the midst of a fierce public spat with Lucy Wood, and now her sister had jumped out to take the fall for her.

Wearing a knockoff, how embarrassing!

It would have been forgivable for someone else, but Ellen Young, of all people, should never have been caught in a knockoff—she was Lucy Wood’s sister!

“Really, it can’t be!”

Nina York was also surprised when she saw the news. It was just a few photos, and the actual material of the shirt couldn’t be ascertained, but the pattern did look remarkably similar to the limited edition piece that G brand had recently released.

The price of that shirt wasn’t exorbitant, but because it was one of the few pieces created by a top G brand designer in recent years, it was very popular and much sought after.

Probably around ten thousand or so.

The key issue with this piece is, it was only available to G brand’s high-level VIPs, meaning consumers who hadn’t spent over a million couldn’t get their hands on it.

“Maybe she didn’t know…”

Nina said, “With online stores being so prevalent now, she might have accidentally bought a counterfeit.”

It’s quite normal for big brands to have knockoffs, after all, many people can’t afford the real thing and have to settle for high-quality imitations.

Naya York, on the other hand, snorted disdainfully, “She might not know, but would Lucy Wood not know? Right now, she’s the ambassador for G brand. I think with her sister’s incident coming to light, her ambassadorship is at risk. An ambassador’s sister wearing a knockoff—how ridiculous is that?”

There were many in the entertainment industry, like Naya York, who reveled secretly in mocking situations like this. Competing for resources in the industry could be a matter of life and death. Now that Lucy Wood had this mishap, weren’t many just waiting to add fuel to the fire?

Brand owners despise knockoff products the most. If an endorsee is accidentally spotted wearing a counterfeit or if any celebrity, even those not affiliated, is caught wearing a knockoff of their brand, that celebrity is almost certainly blacklisted not just by that brand, but by other brands as well.

No one dares to hire a celebrity known for wearing knockoffs for endorsements.

That’s why brands are usually very careful when choosing their representatives.

Although this time it wasn’t Lucy Wood herself, it was still her sister.

If everyone else knew, Lucy Wood couldn’t possibly be unaware. When she saw the news, she stared at the photos for a while. After all, she frequently shopped for luxury items and had a good eye: “Looking at the style and lines of the shirt, it closely resembles the genuine G brand design, just without the LOGO…”

She furrowed her brow, “How could Ellen possibly wear a knockoff?”

Ever since learning about Ellen’s dual identity, Felicia Frost’s imagination had grown wilder: “Listen to their nonsense. Most likely, the brand sent it to her directly. As a young professor, she must have a deep network. It wouldn’t be strange for her to know a few people from the brand families. Maybe she’s not wearing the LOGO because she doesn’t want to be too showy?”

Lucy hesitated for a moment: “Should I give G brand a call to explain?”

“Explain what? As long as they don’t call, it means this matter…”

Felicia had barely finished speaking when her cellphone started ringing. Upon seeing the caller ID, Felicia’s face instantly twisted in embarrassment: “…the person in charge from G brand is calling.”

Lucy Wood: “…”

Of course, the call wasn’t from G brand’s headquarters but from the person in charge of the Sina branch—an individual who was one of the brand managers that initially coordinated Lucy Wood’s endorsement deal.

This time the call was made with a very stern tone, as they questioned Lucy about what was going on.

Since Ellen Young was now appearing on programs with Lucy, such knockoff products should not be associated with her, suggesting that Lucy had evidently failed to fulfill her responsibilities.
