Chapter 377: Turmoil

Noah turned to Moran and patiently told, "I know you first as Moron, a top hip hop dancer who hit the international stage at a very young age. You are a successful businessman and you are handling your stubborn grandfather. Don't feel inferior."

That line about his grandfather brought a smile on Moran's face, "Never mind, Yeah I have achieved something too. I'm fine."

"Sure?"

"Cent." Moran waved his hand to send him and sunbathed but soon was stuffed with dog food when the couples entered the water and started fighting like kids.

'This is too injurious to health.' He thought to himself and left quickly.

---

The wedding was at eleven, all ladies swarmed in Bride's room looking at the gown. Norah wanted a baby pink wedding gown but none found it suitable so she asked for a pink princess gown for reception and a wedding gown in white with only a single preference that she likes 'Vine' pattern.

So Aria used that pattern in her princess gown. Her crown was specially ordered by Moran which looked splendid. Norah looked gorgeous in her gown.

The rest of the girls were navy blue different patterned bridesmaid gowns. They kept it simple and elegant to compliment the bride. Aria didn't follow the bridesmaid tasks other than enjoying it. 

All in the venue were in navy blue suits and the groom was in a three-piece tuxedo waiting for his bride. The wedding soon finished happily and successfully. Since there was time for the reception, all went to rest.

Soon Aria's mood ruined when she received a call from her teacher. "Alia, why did your gown showcased in a noob's fashion show? What is going on?"

"My gown?" Aria was confused which got the attention of Alan, Eva, Isaac.

"The gown I asked you to present in my show. Alia, you better come here soon."

"I... teacher... Hello... Hello..." Aria can't take a chance with her teacher. He was capable of banning her in the fashion industry and she wasn't ready to lose her hard-earned 'ALIA' so easily.

Even though she was just known in the inner circle of her teacher and country A, she wanted to enter the international market after increasing the brand value in country A.

The first thought that came to her mind was a replica piece. If it's the replica, that can be solved easily as she had proof of the designed date and her eye witness was her teacher.

Eva asked as soon as Aria lowered her mobile, "What's wrong?"

Aria briefed, "It's about Norah's engagement gown. A noob designer presented the replica in his show. It must be making too much sound that got the teacher's eyes so he is angry with me for failing to handle my designs."

Eva and Isaac were nodding when Alan quickly searched in his laptop while Aria was preparing the proofs to fly off directly to country U. "Alan, do you want to come with me? I will fly after the reception. Otherwise, my teacher will take serious actions."

Alan's voice was cold saying, "This is your gown. Not a replica. It's viral during our night, their day."

Aria took the laptop to her and scrutinized the dress to end up baffled. 'My gown is with Norah, why did it reach country U?'

Alan was on call and instructed, "Send me the details of the fashion designer who got fame overnight." He hummed and hung up the call. Aria was calm because she had the proof for everything related to the gown.

Eva dialed Norah and turned on the speaker, "Eva? Where are you guys? Everyone..."

"Norah, where is your engagement gown?" Eva asked directly.

Norah responded without reading why that topic came up out of nowhere, "My cousin Selena wanted for some party so she took it."

Eva hung up the call and went out without a word. Her wedding gown became Norah's engagement gown, she accepted it. Now some nobody using her goddess gown for their fame irked her more than Aria.

Aria ran behind her trying to calm her, "Eva, relax. I will handle it. Eva... Listen to me. Eva, it isn't time for questioning... Eva..."

Eva didn't listen and reached the pool, she held Selena and took her a few steps away from the group but the latter shrugged Eva's hand. Eva said through her teeth, "If you don't want me to ruin your professional sweet girl image, shut up and come with me."

Selena's voice raised, "Don't you have manners? Get off my face."

"You-" Eva had just said, Selena pushed her and turned around to leave.

Aria lost her cool when she saw Eva lost her footing and fell on the ground.

'Pak'

It was loud enough to get everyone's attention. Selena's eyes filled up in pain and her cheeks were imprinted with four fingers. "Ms.Hanes is talking about manners which she doesn't have."

"What's going on?" Jude's voice sounded.

Selena cried and fell on the ground by herself, "Grandfather, she hit me. I was sitting with you guys but these two girls brought me here to beat me."

Curtis who was aside snickered and said, "Little one, show me how you beat her." Curtis wasn't a fool not to understand Selena was overacting and Aria wouldn't raise her hand for not a thing.

The rest: "..."

Aria smirked and gave another one saying, "This one for stealing my gown."

Alan reported, "That man is her boyfriend. They sold to a customer for 25 million."

Aria controlled herself from giving one more across Selena's face. If that gown didn't go to anybody's hand, nothing would have happened. Now she just has to claim that was her design if she wants to survive in the fashion industry else her teacher was going to be a dangerous volcano.

"Arrie..." Noah called her without understanding what was actually going on.

Aria glanced at Alan and went to Eva, "We have only an hour for the reception. All should get ready."

She took Eva away saying, "Why is our Cutie's important days are turning to disaster for us? I will handle the dress issue, let's not make them worry."

Eva nodded and sank in her own thoughts. She regretted choosing that dress without asking Aria. And that dress was creating a lot of turmoil.

It wasn't over yet, a new yacht reached the island and the men were blocked by Hanes security. When Alan received the call, all got to know there was a delivery to Aria. The latter was voiceless seeing the same gown sent to her.

Their location can't be disclosed so easily yet the dress was right in front of them.
