Chapter 290
Mona nodded. “Her livestream is quite interesting.”
Soon, Lily returned with two similar down jackets in her hands. They were black and had Star’s logo on the shoulders. The purple logo Star could attract attention at a glance.
On the screen, Lily hung up the two down jackets and adjusted the camera.
Then, she said, “Of these two down jackets, one was bought at a Star physical store. The other was bought online because I tried to be penny–smart. Guys, at first glance, do you think the two are exactly the same? Well, take a closer look.”
As Lily spoke, Mona saw her bring the camera closer.
Mona looked at the two down jackets on the screen. She could see very clearly that the fake good was not very good. It was obvious that the threads at the joint could be seen.
The two down jackets looked identical if they were not compared together. However, now that the original version was presented as a foil, the fake good’s style and color were obviously different from those of the original.
Since Mona could tell, the audience watching the livestream could naturally tell as well. They were all commenting below.
Netizen A: [I can tell that the two down jackets are different. The one on the left has a better style. Lily probably bought it from Star’s shop.]
Netizen B: [I agree. The collar on the right one shows a thread… The workmanship is too inconspicuous.]
Netizen C: [Oh dear. I also placed an order online. Fortunately, I saw Lily’s review and immediately asked for a refund. I’ll buy it at the shop tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if it costs more. The quality of the down jacket is the most important.] Netizen D: [No wonder it’s so much cheaper online than in the shop. It turns out that it’s fake. Fortunately, I didn’t buy it.]

Lily said, “Hahaha, guys, you really have sharp eyes. Now that I have the original, I’m already planning to throw away the one on the right. After I wore it twice, the down is starting to come out. I’ll tell you about the quality of Star’s down jacket during my livestream in a few days. However, I can feel that the original’s texture is way better. Moreover, the service of this shop is especially good. When I went there, I even got little cakes. The salesperson was very enthusiastic!”
Netizen A: [I’ve been to this shop before. The service is indeed good, and the clothes are very nice. However, they are a little expensive, but the quality is good. I’ll accept it even if it’s expensive.]
Netizen B: [The quality is excellent, I’ll give you that. I bought a dress some time ago and washed it a few times. It looks just as new now.]
Netizen C: [Let’s boycott the online shops with fake goods!]
Netizen D: [They should hurry up and take it off the shelves!]

Later on, many netizens said that previously, they had bought Star’s winter clothes and that the quality was not good, but only now did they know that the clothes they had bought were fake. They all went to give that shop a negative review.
Mona watched and tipped Lily to support her livestreaming career and thank her for speaking up for Star.
“Honey, design a down jacket for me too. Make it the same as yours,” Maxwell suggested.

Naturally, Star didn’t make–pen’s clothes since it specialized in high–end women’s clothing. What he wanted was a unique design from Mona for him.
Mona looked up at Maxwell and said, “Alright, then I’ll design down jackets for the two of us alone. It will be matching outfits, okay?”
“Alright, that’s what I want.” After receiving Mona’s promise, Maxwell lowered his head and planted a light kiss on Mona’s forehead.
Seeing that it was getting late, he told Mona to turn off the television and led her back to their room.
The next morning, Mona was woken up by Maxwell. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw the WhatsApp message that Lily had sent her and the money she had returned.
Lily: [Mona, I just wanted you to watch my livestream and see me clear Star’s name. I don’t need your tip.] A pouting little girl emoji was attached.
Mona looked at the transfer. Instead of accepting the money, she rejected the transfer.
Mona: [You’re my favorite streamer, and I’m giving a tip to you. What’s wrong about that? Just take the money.]
After sending the message, Mona was dragged out of bed by Maxwell. Then, she washed up, ate breakfast, and went to work with Maxwell.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of Star, she saw Ava waiting at the door angrily. When Ava saw Mona coming over, she pulled her into the meeting room.
“What’s wrong?” Mona asked.
“Mona, this is infuriating. I’ve never seen such a thick–skinned person. Our people failed to negotiate with the merchants who sell the replicas, and they’re unwilling to take the clothes off the shelves. We filed a complaint to the platform, but nothing happened. They said that they needed to investigate. By the time they’re done, winter will be over. What about the winter clothes we’re storing in the warehouse? What’s more, they’re using Star’s reputation. If the people who bought their shop’s clothes felt that the quality of the goods was not good, would they still come to Star to buy clothes again? Most importantly, they even scolded our people. I’ve never encountered such an infuriating thing,” Ava complained.
“Since they don’t take the clothes off the shelves, let’s just take it to court. We have enough evidence anyway,” Mona said. Ava said, “I’ve already gotten the guys to prepare the materials. However, I’m just angry at such shameless people. This is outrageous. They’re plagiarizing and yet they’re so self–righteous. I’ve really never seen such thick–skinned human beings.” Mona saw that Ava was really angry, so she quickly got her a glass of warm water.
“Alright, have this to calm down. Don’t be angry lest it hurt your health.” At the same time, Mona got herself some warm
water too.
The weather was getting colder. As Mona walked over from the entrance of Star, her hands were still cold from the cold wind.
“Ugh, they won’t take the clothes off the shelves, right? I’ll give them negative reviews every day, saying that their clothes aren’t from Star at all. I’ll see if anyone will still buy their stuff.” Ava angrily drank the warm water and felt that it was a bit too
hot.
She thought, ‘It’s just that when it rains, it pours!‘
“Ava, you’ll probably be banned if you do this.” Mona took a sip of her water. The temperature of the warm water passed through the glass and was very warm.
Ava said, “So we just won’t do anything while we’re waiting? This shop is robbing our customers. I… I really want to destroy

this shop.”

Mona said, “Ava, do you remember the university student I met in the shop yesterday? I remember telling you that she’s a
streamer.”
Ava nodded and blinked her big eyes. She did not understand why the topic of the fake goods was suddenly related to the university student from yesterday. However, she still answered honestly, “I remember.”
Mona said, “She started a livestream last night. There were more than 10,000 people in her livestream. During the livestream, she said that she had even compared the counterfeit to the original online. The viewers could tell at a glance that the two down jackets were different. Many people even said that they would ask for a refund today. Therefore, I think we can contact some bloggers and get them to tell the truth like Lily. This way, many people will know that the shop online is selling fake goods.”
When Ava heard Mona’s words, she felt that it made a lot of sense. She hurriedly said, “Mona, what you said makes sense. You’ll focus on the designs. I’ll contact the fashion bloggers.”
