Chapter 664
She was in total disbelief. Chloe was the famous MISSY? No way! It was just too absurd to even consider, despite all the buzz and chatter going on around her. Chloe, of all people? She was nothing more than an impostor who had stolen her identity. Chloe was supposed to be scraping by in the slums, not standing on the world's brightest stage, soaking up everyone's admiration. She wasn't worthy! Not even close!
And let's not forget the plagiarism scandal that had shaken things up. MISSY had actually sued Belle Époque. How could this be true? If Chloe really was MISSY, then she had practically brought Belle Époque to its knees.
Lisa started to piece things together, but she refused to acknowledge or accept it. Seeing Chloe bask in the limelight was unbearable for her—worse than death. She charged forward, screaming at the top of her lungs, "No way, she's just a fake! She can't be MISSY!"
Lisa's outburst was impossible to ignore. People looked down on her for her lack of decorum, but the room fell into an awkward hush. She jabbed a finger at Chloe, calling her a fraud over and over.
Claire, taking it all in, merely furrowed her brow. She wasn't a fan of Lisa either, but right now, she kind of hoped Lisa would stir things up.

Lisa's eyes were red with anger, her voice sharp and grating. Yet, some people believed her, eyeing Chloe with suspicion. After all, no one had ever seen MISSY's real face. Lisa didn't care if Chloe was MISSY or not; she just couldn't let her claim that identity. Chloe couldn't prove herself on the spot, and even if she could, Lisa was determined to brand her a fake. From that moment on, whenever people saw Chloe's face, they'd think "fraud."
Chloe remained unfazed, her expression calm. She didn't seem worried at all. She glanced toward a man lurking in the shadows and called out, “Friend…”
