<h4>Chapter 690: Chapter 690: A Major Face-pping Scene</h4>


    Everyone’s gaze shifted towards the source of the sound.


    They saw that the skin on Madam Zhou’s neck was starting to turn red — a sign of an allergic reaction!


    Madam Zhou noticed the surprised looks directed at her. Not knowing what was happening, she took out a mirror to check and found that her neck was beginning to redden, with a faint itch!


    "Ah!!" she screamed in terror, immediately yanking the ne off her neck, throwing it aside as if it were a venomous snake.


    Even though she had removed the ne, red rashes quickly appeared on Madam Zhou’s body, swiftly spreading across her neck, itching intensifying upon exposure to air.


    A stir erupted among the surrounding crowd.


    Unexpectedly, Madam Zhou had an allergic reaction to Heidi’s ne, even leaving Heidi standing frozen, unsure of what to do.


    Unable to resist scratching, Madam Zhou quickly became disheveled, with bloody scars from where her skin had broken.


    At this moment, the entire room fell silent, the quietness palpable!


    Moments before, Madam Zhou was still visibly delighted, no one could have predicted she would have an allergic reaction.


    Everyone couldn’t help but recall Nina Sinir’s previous words.


    She had mentioned that wearing this ne would cause an allergic reaction, but Madam Zhou had dismissed the warning, even mocking Nina Sinir for her supposed ignorance. No one expected she’d get metaphorically pped in the face now.


    Other guests who had received Heidi’s jewelry saw Madam Zhou’s condition. Even if they disyed no allergic symptoms themselves, they dared not keep the pieces, casting them aside.


    "Oh dear, how terrifying! What material could this ne be made of to cause such a severe allergic reaction?"


    "Could it be made of some counterfeit material?"


    "I always thought Heidi was generous to give these away, these nes appeared costly, but now it seems they might not be worth anything at all! We’ve all been duped."


    "Ridiculous! Earlier Heidi imed it was made of hypoallergenic material."


    ...


    The surrounding discussions were all mocking Heidi, making herplexion pale even further.


    Madam Zhou’s condition worsened, looking like it might threaten her life if not treated promptly.


    An allergic reaction can be trivial or grave; severe cases can be life-threatening.


    Old Madam Lancaster, seasoned from numerous past challenges, immediately ordered someone to escort Madam Zhou to the hospital upon witnessing her condition.


    Soon, Madam Zhou was taken away.


    Although Madam Zhou had left, Heidi remained at the banquet venue, at the heart of the scandal she had unwittingly caused, making her unable to evade responsibility.


    Why did Madam Zhou have an allergic reaction?


    The designers clearly told her the ne was of a special material, supposedly incapable of causing allergies.


    Could she have been tricked?


    The current situation stands that Madam Zhou indeed experienced an allergic reaction, and everyone mes it on her ne, believing it to be fake, leaving Heidi unable to exonerate herself, even if she tried to wash off the usations.


    Especially with the guests once close to her now looking at her as if she were some kind of monster, their mouths still relentlessly condemning her.


    "Truly disgusting, bringing out fake products to harm others."


    "Precisely, such a woman has a truly malicious heart."


    "Earlier, I remembered Nina Sinir seemingly was in the middle of celebrating a birthday when suddenly she jumped up to present a gift, clearly scheming."
