"This is the patriarch's porcelain carving?" Suddenly, Mr. Heninger's tone turned sharp, and his usually gentle and elegant face was now filled with coldness. His icy gaze fell on Zora Hughes as he repeated his question: "Are you sure this is the patriarch's porcelain carving?"
Zora, who had been keeping her head down to contain her excitement, didn't notice anything amiss and answered with a smile: "I'm sure, it was given to me by one of his disciples."
As she finished speaking, a chill filled the air. Mr. Heninger looked furious, and Cory Hughes, sensing that something was wrong, hurriedly stepped forward, "Mr. Heninger…"
But as the words reached his lips, Cory saw the gloomy expression on Mr. Heninger's face and dared not speak. The room grew silent as everyone held their breath, afraid to anger this important figure.
Xaviera Evans couldn't help but chuckle softly from her corner.
Her big brother deserved his title as best actor winner! He was truly getting into the role!
