Chapter 2: The Truth Behind the Dress

The director faced everyone gathered inside the boutique.

"Eight years ago, Elena Vargas was our most talented designer."

"She created this wedding gown only weeks before she passed away."

He looked directly at the woman dressed in black.

"You were her business partner."

The woman's confidence disappeared.

"That's not true."

The director placed several documents on the counter.

"These are the original production records."

"They all carry Elena's signature."

"Yet after her death..."

"...you removed her name."

"...registered the design as your own..."

"...and built an entire luxury brand from her dream."

Gasps echoed throughout the boutique.

Several shoppers immediately began recording with their phones.

"You lied!" one woman shouted.

"You stole from a dying mother!"

The woman tried to defend herself.

"I invested the money!"

"I made the brand successful!"

The director answered calmly.

"No."

"Elena created the masterpiece."

"You only erased her."

At that moment, the boutique's owner entered.

He had been called after seeing the security footage.

Without saying a word, he removed the woman's employee badge.

"You're dismissed."

Then he turned toward Sofia.

"For eight years..."

"...we unknowingly displayed your mother's work without giving her the credit she deserved."

He bowed his head.

"I cannot undo that injustice."

"But I can make it right."
