Alexander was one of those people, and he felt ashamed after knowing the truth.
Scarlett kept quiet about several things, presumably because she didn't think it was necessary.
Alexander, as a bystander, felt injustice for her.
"You've got it wrong, Yvonne. It was Ray who had been pestering Scarlett and wanted to remarry. You're mistaken about Scarlett. She didn't play hard-to-get or pester Ray!"
"Bear in mind, judge yourself before you judge others. Who do you think you are? How dare you call Scarlett that?"
Alexander was always polite to women. But this time h e really felt unfair to Scarlett and that was why he said such harsh words to Yvonne.
Yvonne went rigid with shock, thinking Scarlett's words, "You don't deserve me."
She was so embarrassed by Alexander's words that she could not speak. When her friend defended her, Alexander snapped back.
Afraid of the Smith family's clout, her friends finally dared not say anything and pulled her to leave.
Only then did Cindy react, and she looked at Stephen," Did Scarlett just say Raymond didn't deserve her, Stephen?"
"Exactly," Stephen replied.
Cindy clamped her hand against her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief, "Gosh, she's incredibly awesome!"
Alexander, who had just finished scolding and was a little unfulfilled, felt that he had finally found likeminded people. And he looked at Cindy, raising his eyebrows, "So cool, huh?"
"Absolutely. Goodness, how terrific she is! Next time I'll ask Scarlett how she did it!"
Alexander felt the same way, "I also wonder how she's so brave to speak her mind."
He didn't have the guts to do that.
Stephen didn't bother to join them.
