Someone pretended to be clueless and deliberately said, "Don't talk nonsense. If Mr. Ronald is lying, then doesn't that mean this isn't actually Country Y's way of making friends? Then why would Paula go out of her way to insult Miss Clark like that?"
"That's right, that's right. I believe this really is Country Y's custom. Miss Paula only wanted to befriend Miss Clark. So now Miss Clark only wants to befriend Mr. Ronald. Isn't that fair?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Selina's lips curved into a smile.
When Paula had insulted her under the name of the Country Y royal family, had she ever imagined it would come to this?
Now, would Ronald admit it or not—would he accept her as a "friend"?
If Ronald kept fuming and demanded an apology, then it would prove that Paula's words had never been a friendly joke at all, but a deliberate insult.
But if Ronald didn't admit he was lying, then he'd have to swallow Selina's insult along with his pride.
