Karine fumed. Her cheeks flushed.

Reputation was everything to her. Now that she was humiliated, she vented her rage on Cordelia. She

lifted her arms to hit her, but the people around her stopped her.

They pointed at the surveillance camera on the ceiling, asking her to hold back.

Karine glared at Cordelia with a vengeance and said to her while gnashing her teeth a moment later,

“What’s there to flaunt about having married a poor man? A diamond ring aside, he can’t even afford a

copper or iron ring! Stay poor for the rest of your lives, you wretched couple!”

She turned to leave as soon as she was done. Cordelia grinned as she watched her leave in a rage.

It seemed she would not have peace in the office from now on.

She must plan ahead and come up with a backup plan.

On the next day…

Cordelia looked different than before when she showed up at the office again.

She, who did not wear makeup, put on light makeup today. She had something on her finger, too—a

huge emerald ring.

Her colleagues stared with their eyes open wide. The ring seemed to be of pure gold with detailed

carvings on it, and the emerald on it was translucent. It looked plenty magnificent.

However, the design was rather old, like it had some years on it.

Cordelia caressed it softly with her head lowered.

She had taken the ring out of the box the previous night. Her fingers were slender, so it was slightly too

big for her.

Marcus had said to wear it after they got the size adjusted at the jewelry store, but she could not wait

anymore.

Had Karine not said that her husband could not even afford a ring?

She must show her what she had on her finger today!

“So beautiful, Cordelia!” The ladies in the office surrounded her and looked at the ring curiously. “I’ve

never seen a ring of such a style. It must be custom-made?”

“But it looks very old,” someone said. “It looks vintage.”

“Cordelia, I guess your husband gave you this? Why did he give you a ring that’s too big? Did it belong

to your mother-in-law? Is it an heirloom?”

Cordelia said nothing while smiling.

Karine passed her by and peeped at the ring.

Her eyes lit up. Although the ring had an old design, it was obviously good stuff with history. However…

How did Cordelia obtain such a precious thing?

She scoffed and commented with a snicker, “Don’t tell me it’s fake?”

The office suddenly fell silent. They had awkward looks on their faces as they returned to their desks.

“Cordelia, we came from the same school, after all. As your senior, I feel the responsibility to tell you

this.” Karine rolled her eyes. “The ring is old and used. You can tell from a glance that it’s glass that has

been dyed. What emerald? Hah! Your husband must have deceived you. You’re convinced by a toy?”

Cordelia caressed the ring and responded flatly while staring directly into her eyes, “I’m wearing a ring

just to prove I’m married. Nothing else. I don’t care if it’s glass or precious stone. It makes no difference

to me.

“Also…” She smiled calmly. “As long as it’s given by my husband, I don’t care if it’s made of bronze or

iron. It’s the heart that matters. I’d love it no matter what!”

“Hah!” Karine mocked, “That’s what a poor person would say!”

Cordelia did not take it to heart and dove into her stressful work.

As she was drafting the sales plan in the afternoon, she heard Annie mumbling softly, “She must be

dying to close sales to be bringing just anyone to the office!”

Stunned, Cordelia turned her head to look.

Annie pouted, directing Cordelia to lift her head. She then saw Karine leading a bunch of people in and

out of the office.

If she were not mistaken, it was the fifth batch of clients the latter hosted this afternoon.

It seemed like she had taken it personally that she had lost the sales the previous time.

Cordelia chuckled. As she was going to bury herself in the sales plan, she heard Karine yelling while

standing at her office door, “Come here, Cordelia!”
