Alexander was not pretending. He had a clear conscience. He was kind to Scarlett during the meal just because of Raymond. Besides, those people were snobbish. He was afraid that they would urge Scarlett t o drink. He thus talked to her.
He was a decent man!
He didn't have a fetish for stealing his friends' women!
Of course, whether Raymond believed it depended on how he thought of their thirty years of friendship.
Alexander couldn't stand Raymond's eyes and was angry. He went back to the room after saying that.
He rushed into the room with a cold face. The director and producer were delighted that Alexander returned, but the next second, they were frightened.
Alexander pointed at the two actresses who just gossiped. "Who recommended them?"
The biggest investor of "Lost Youth" was the Sunrigal Corporation. Alexander knew that the other investors placed their people in the cast.
These two people were not the ones his company wanted to promote. Since they said something like that, they were not simple. Alexander had been in this circle for many years. He knew at a glance who

He was furious, but the people present didn't know what he was angry about.

She's good-tempered, but I'm not! If I hear any rumors about Scarlett and me from you again, pack your things and get out immediately!"
Alexander blew up at them. Before leaving, he added," You're lucky that today it was me who taught you a lesson. If it were Raymond, you would be in trouble!"
Hearing this, the two actresses blanched. They finally remembered that when they came out of the restroom, they vaguely saw some people in the smoking area.
