"Come on. Don't deny it immediately! Look. Because you didn't like her, every time we held the gathering, she was the one being made fun of. Actually, Libby and your younger sister have bullied her a lot, not for her humble parentage but for your negligence and indifference. That's why the people around us view her as a joke." "We often think she sly and mammonish. Though we didn't hit or directly abuse her, we looked down on her every time. Try to think back to the days when you moved out after getting married, she, as your wife, totally had the right to ask you to live together with her, but what you replied was "Do you deserve it?" You feel terrible even when you hear the words right now, but do you know how terrible Scarlett felt at that time?" Previously, Alexander had said these out of fun, but now he took it seriously, "Raymond, we have to admit that we have a prejudice against her. Both of us owe Scarlett an apology, but of course, you are the one who should apologize to her most. After all, you hurt her most and you are the only one who can hurt her." Raymond thought Alexander would only talk about bullshit, but it turned out that his words indeed hit the nail on the head this time.
After hearing this, Raymond felt worse.

He felt very uncomfortable as if his heart was stuck with something.
Alexander seldom saw this expression of him. He added, "To be honest. Pursuing her after divorce is quite nasty." "Which side are you from?" "The rightness." Raymond sneered, "No matter what you said, | am pursuing her. She can only be mine. You are right that we do owe her an apology. So, starting from you, you gotta apologize to her tomorrow." Alexander chocked, "No way. Do you mean it?" If he apologized to someone like Scarlett, a grudge holder, being laughed at by her was fine, but what he was afraid of was the same ending as the Jones family he would end up with.
Thinking about Scarlett humiliating his aunt by throwing her thirty thousand dollars, he couldn't stop but trembled.
No. There was no way he could offend her.
Raymond was very delighted to watch the changes in Alexander's expression. He knocked the table with his index finger and said in a low voice, "It is fine if you are willing to go, but as for the son you adopted in Ferah..." "Raymond, | am okay with any joke you make but not this one." Raymond raised his eyebrows, "I am not joking with you." He was like stewing in his own juice! Alexander couldn't help slapping his mouth and said t o himself, "How stupid you are." Raymond ignored his movements, "What is going on with the vase in the Jones family? The reason Alexander came here was to discuss the vase with him. Honestly, he didn't believe that the vase was fake, but Scarlett was not a person who liked bragging.

He heard about the bet Libby had got with Scarlett, for which he was quite confused. "So, do you think the vase is fake or real?" "Fake." "Why?" "I believe Scarlett.” Alexander gasped, "Raymond, this is not the one you used to be." The fact was that Raymond had not won Scarlett's heart yet, and he could not imagine how crazy Raymond would be toward Scarlett once Raymond got her.
He felt like Raymond probably was the man who would hand his wife a stick if she wanted to hit someone.
"It seems that you don't know about me," replied Raymond.
Alexander got jealous, "Seriously, how do you think about it?" Raymond gave him a look of dislike, "It should be fake because that vase comes in a pair." "My uncle is obsessed with it, and he had it authenticated by quite a lot of people." "A few days of acting for three million is a good deal." Alexander immediately understood, "I'd better tell my uncle right away." Raymond didn't care about it and said, "Don't forget to apologize to Scarlett tomorrow." Could he break with Raymond?
