The conclusion unfolded precisely as Kate had foreseen.
Upon hearing the technician’s revelation, a surge of excitement propelled the group to their feet, their voices directed urgently towards Mr. Forester, the nearby police officer. “Mr. Forester! Did you hear that? These garments are flawed, the chemical compositions exceed safe limits! Wearing them has caused us rashes!?
“I reckon this is no longer a jest? Kate, you owe us an explanation!”
“Yeah! Refund us and compensate, or we’ll expose you!”
Their outcry brimmed with indignation, their accusatory glares fixed firmly upon Kate.
“What proof do you have that these clothes came from us?” Kate’s countenance remained composed as she surveyed the tumult.
“Are you so parsimonious, you refuse to part with your coin even if to improve your act by a fraction?”
“Why do you mock us? Our rashes are real, a consequence of wearing your clothes!”
They persisted obstinately, casting themselves as victims and persisting in implicating HN Studio.
Kate casually lifted a garment, gently shaking it before speaking deliberately. “While this garment’s design and cut mirror ours, the replication may have overlooked our intricate details.”
A fleeting hush descended upon the group.
At that instant, Kate’s assistant, with a steely demeanour, produced an identical HN Studio garment, tauntingly remarking, “Each HN Studio piece bears a subtle inner pattern–our insignia. Imperceptible under normal conditions, yet revealed in sunlight from certain angles.”
“Observe, like so.” The assistant smirked, unfurling the garment to display the logo shimmering in the sun–an unmistakable mark of HN Studio!
Simultaneously, Kate turned the garment she held, her smile betraying an icy edge. “Behold, this one is counterfeit, devoid of our hallmark.”
A moment of silence ensued, broken swiftly by a retort from one of the group, “Your deceive! I purchased these from your website, they are yours. Now that issues arise, you seek to absolve yourself, do you not?”
“She deflects accountability! Clearly, these garments are from HN Studio, yet she claims them false. Perhaps they traffic in counterfeit wares.”
Weary of their stubborn denial, Kate promptly handed her evidence to Mr. Forester. “Mr. Forester, here is a comprehensive dossier. These are all counterfeits, confirmed by the testing facility–even the
fabrics differ from ours.”
She unveiled ver another dossier of Test reports “Rehold the assessment of our garment on sale

Mr. Forester scrutinised the twin documents in his grasp, then directed an icy gaze upon the assembly. “Have you been instigated by another to wilfully foment discord? If proven so, HN Studio may seek redress, marking you with a stain upon your record.”
Witnessing the tide of events turning against them, an individual promptly attempted flight, only to be swiftly intercepted by the vigilant security personnel whom Kate had summoned.
Kate regarded thein with a wry smile, her voice tranquil yet pregnant with unspoken coercion. “Were you not resolute a moment ago in your accusations? Why now this flight, burdened by guilt?”
Her words carried a soft cadence, yet bore an unmistakable gravity. As the security detail closed ranks with austere countenances, and Mr. Forester stood disapprovingly aside, one among their number could restrain themselves no longer.
“I confess! Leslie bid us to this endeavour. She supplied us with the very garments!”
“She assured us it was mere theatre. Upon its conclusion, a hundred and fifty dollars each was to be our recompense–hence, we followed her lead!”
