Isabel Smith was sipping her soup when she heard this comment. She was on the brink of bursting into laughter, so she had to lower her head forcefully, trying desperately to suppress her hilarity, while she slowly swallowed her soup bit by bit.
She had to admit that Percy Stanton's response was wonderfully clever and brilliant!
It complimented Mrs. Smith, yet at the same time retaliated against Carla Osbert's words.
Isabel sneakily lifted her eyelids and looked at Carla. As she expected, Carla's complexion was alternating between white and green, and the dignified smile she had been putting on was about to break.
Mrs. Smith, on the other hand, had a face full of delight. Like all women, no matter how old they are, they would feel happy from the bottom of their hearts when complimented. Therefore, Mrs. Smith looked at Percy, laughing, "Mr. Stanton, you're good at joking! I'm an old lady now, with my grandchildren all grown up. How could I still be young and attractive?"
