Susan Caldwell gritted her teeth, no longer able to maintain the smile on her face. She was starting to suspect that Vera Xavier had deliberately used those raw stones without any Jade to bait her into making that statement, just to humiliate her!
But on second thought, she dismissed the idea as impossible. Even the senior Jade consultant at her side couldn't determine what the Jade inside the stones was like, so how could Vera Xavier have such a skill? 'It was most likely just Vera's good luck, that's all!'
Most people, when faced with such public humiliation, would either lose their temper or beg for mercy.
But Susan Caldwell was exceptionally skilled at controlling her emotions. She knew exactly what to say and when to say it for her own benefit, and she was also unbelievably thick-skinned. "I was just joking with you earlier. You actually took it seriously."
