Cordelia said with a chortle, “Honey, Karine wanted to pick on me the last time. It’s thanks to Mr. Jones who recognizes this jade ring to be real and helped me exaggerate it that Karine didn’t get her way!”

Cordelia had wanted to blurt that it was her husband’s family heirloom but sensitively noticed that Marcus did not look quite right.
