Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Big Brother is Worthy of Being a Best Actor Winner Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Big Brother is Worthy of Being a Best Actor Winner “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!

Under Mr. Heninger’s burning gaze, Zora felt like she was suffocating. She couldn’t understand what was wrong – why would Mr. Heninger be so angry after seeing the porcelain carving? Wasn’t it a gift from Lennon Heninger? Moreover, when Lennon gave it to her, many people from the Heninger family were present, and they all witnessed the scene and confirmed Lennon’s identity. There was no reason for the Heninger family to frame her either!

Full of confusion, Zora couldn’t think of any explanation.

Then, Mr. Heninger suddenly spoke up coldly: “Miss Hughes, I’ll give you one more chance: where did this porcelain carving come from?”

His harsh tone snapped Zora back to her senses, her teeth chattering nervously. Under everyone’s doubtful gaze, she hesitantly said: “Mr. Heninger, this porcelain carving was indeed given to me by a disciple acting on behalf of the head of the Heninger family.”

The next second, Mr. Heninger’s expression darkened, and he angrily rebuked her: “Well! It seems your Hughes family doesn’t take our Heninger family seriously, daring to pass off a fake as the patriarch’s work!”

Dead silence fell over the room, and everyone stared wide-eyed at Zora, who trembled in fear, her face as white as a sheet.

Cory was momentarily speechless and hurriedly gestured for the reporters to stop the live broadcast. However, the reporters suddenly discovered that they couldn’t turn off their cameras, and the previous scene had already been recorded.

“Miss Hughes, give me a reasonable explanation!” Mr. Heninger’s voice was icy cold.

Zora hung her head, shivering uncontrollably.

Cory quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying: “Mr. Heninger, this rose porcelain carving was indeed sent to Zora by the head of the Heninger family. Zora would never lie, she cares so much about our family. How could she possibly stand by and watch our reputation be tarnished?”

Mr. Heninger impatiently glanced at Cory, scoffing: “Mr. Hughes, I thought your family valued this cooperation. But now it seems you don’t truly care about this hard-won opportunity.”

“Mr. Heninger, it’s all a misunderstanding. Listen to me…”

Before Cory could finish, Mr. Heninger interrupted sharply, “Mr. Hughes, if you truly wanted to cooperate, you should have done your research and known that my wife is allergic to roses. That’s why roses can’t be found anywhere on Black Island, and the patriarch would never carve a rose. If you had looked at Mrs. Hughes’ design sketches, you would have seen that she referenced hundreds of flowers, but there were no roses. So this porcelain carving is definitely not made by the patriarch!”

At his words, everyone was dumbfounded, their ears ringing.

The head of the Heninger family would never carve roses. So where did this porcelain carving come from?

Mr. Heninger’s sharp gaze turned to Cory, who broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that if they offended the Heninger family, their Hughes family would face dire consequences. Of course, he was afraid.

Even though he had faced many challenges before, this was his first time negotiating with such a powerful family. If this cooperation succeeded, the Hughes Group would not only escape its crisis but also become a new force in Libanan. For this cooperation, he had been on edge for many days, never expecting such a mistake at the last moment.

But why would Zora deceive them? She was always working towards the best interest of the family; she would never do something so foolish!

Cory hesitated for a few moments before his emotions finally stabilized. “Mr. Heninger, Zora indeed brought this porcelain carving back from the Heninger Villa.”

With Cory’s support, Zora nodded, feeling somewhat more confident. That day, it was Lennon Heninger who had called her to the Heninger Villa. Maybe Mr. Heninger was mistaken, and the flower his wife was allergic to was not a rose?
