Cordelia felt her heart squeeze. She turned her head, and Annie and her locked eyes. The latter looked at her anxiously.

“Why did she ask for you?” Annie frowned. “She must be up to no good. Watch out, Cordelia!”

“Hmm, it’s going to be okay.” Cordelia walked to Karine’s office calmly.

Karine pulled up all of the blinds in the office intentionally. She even left the door open with the intention of showing everything that was happening inside to everyone out there.

Cordelia was suspicious. It seemed she was not trying to start something with her.

After all, all eyes were on them.

“Cordelia, this is Mr. Jones from the Star Group.” Karine introduced her with a bright smile. “Mr. Jones, this is our company’s top salesperson of the month!”

Cordelia nodded, smiling courteously. However, the more she looked at Karine, the more she thought what Annie said was right.

She was up to no good.

Oliver Jones was a gentle middle-aged man. From the moment Cordelia entered, he had his eyes on the ring she wore. He had been staring.

“It’s your lucky day, Cordelia!” Karine smirked. “Although Mr. Jones is a businessman, he’s quite the expert in jewelry appraisal. He’s also a permanent member of the Jewelry Association. Many jewelry stores hired him for appraisal. Hah! Mr. Jones’s eyes are as powerful as the precision instrument. With a glance, he can tell whether a piece of jewelry is authentic!

She turned to look at Oliver. “Mr. Jones, what do you think of the ring that Cordelia is wearing?”
