Or is she playing some underhanded trick?
Tessa Caldwell feigned surprise, "You actually called me a nouveau riche? How flattering."
Feigning surprise for not even two seconds, she coolly said, "I've heard that what nouveau riches love to do most is turn their money into coins and smash those who look down on them. You know, I'd really like to try that on your head."
