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 th e really felt unfair to Scarlett and that was why he said such harsh words to Yvonne.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYvonne 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 tI'll ask Scarlett how she did it!" Alexander felt the sway, "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.
It was not until Scarlett went downstairs that her glacial expression grew gentle.
A passing waiter greeted her, and she replied with a smile, "Good evening".
Night fell, and she was a little confused when she walked out of the restaurant.
She didn't recover until Raymond caught her wrist.
Without looking back, she said flatly, "Let go of me." Instead of loosening his grip, Raymond tried to entwine his fingers with hers.

But Yvonne's words reminded her of the painful days before her divorce.
She received a torrent of curses during that period.
"I've been living without dignity for three years, Raymond. | will never lose my self and dignity for others again, now or in the future." "You don't deserve me. | meant it. | didn't say that to piss off Yvonne." When she finished, she looked at him squarely in the eye.
Hearing Scarlett's words, Raymond's heart lurched. He would rather be beaten or scolded by her than hear her tell him so calmly that he didn't deserve her.
Scarlett continued, "You know, you're really selfish. You didn't likebefore, and even though we were married, you never treatedlike your wife. Now you've been pesteringlike this, seeming to forget the fact that I'm not your wife anymore. You're always thinking about your feelings, regardless of others" feelings." Scarlett’s every word wounded him to the soul.
