Facing this unfriendly woman, Scarlett gradually ceased her smile and stared at her in silence.
But Quinta thought Scarlett was guilty of her words, and then she sneered ironically, "Humph! I've seen a lot of women like you! What you really want is money, don't you? Stop dreaming and face the facts! Anderson family is out of your league, mark my words. Haven't you learned that from all the years you've been badgering Raymond?" Though Scarlett really didn't know who she was, she could tell from this woman's words. She mentioned Henry frequently.
When they were in the hotel before, Alexis told Scarlett about Henry's interpersonal relationships, including those of Henry's child friends and Quinta, the youngest daughter of the Rodriguez family and Henry's childhood sweetheart! Everyone in this circle knew how much Quinta liked Henry. But she had an infernal temper. Henry wouldn't even consider her for a relationship, let alone marriage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRelying on her family pedigree, Quinta bullied many o f Henry's ex-girlfriends. Henry was really a playboy, but he treated his girlfriend well.
And he publicly berated Quinta over this matter several times. Although the Rodriguez family was not comparable to the Anderson family, it was no ordinary family. Clair didn't want this matter to turn nasty, so h e sent Henry abroad to study.
Seven said that Henry went to Juanton City to hide from Quinta.
But these were rumors, and no one knew whether it was true or not. One thing was for sure-Quinta didn't like Henry to be around other women.
Scarlett cout with Clair at the beginning of the party, and soon she was talking and laughing with Henry for five or six minutes.
Watching them at a distance, Quinta was almost out of her mind with jealousy.
If Herbert hadn't stopped her, she would have separated them long ago! 'Who does she think she is? Does she think she has entered the upper class by starting an entertainment company?’ 'What a cheek! She didn't get anything from the Shaw family, so she started coveting the Anderson family's money!" Quinta couldn't care less who Scarlett hooked up with, and she'd laugh it off as a joke as long as it wasn't Henry.
However, Scarlett was about to hook up with Henry, and Quinta couldn't bear it anymore! ‘Henry's ex-girlfriends were just as bad as Scarlett, but he never brought any of them to see Clair. Now he has brought Scarlett!" Quinta had a bad feeling about this. She realized that Scarlett must have more finesses than Henry's exgirlfriends! Quinta's words were also the feelings of other rich girls in Adelpore City. Even though Scarlett was brought in by Clair himself, these rich girls believed that Scarlett had only grasped the skills of pleasing Clair! Although Scarlett had a successful career without getting anything in the divorce, in the eyes of these rich girls, she was still just a woman of humble birth who wanted to marry a rich man! Women's jealousy was dreadful, which prevented them from seeing matters objectively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQuinta and the other rich girls were born into the upper class, and they naturally could not accept Scarlett, who was of humble origin but had delicate skin and a good appearance, crossing the wall of class and into theirs.
Quinta swore something terrible. The crowd gathered t o watch the fun, and none of them stood up for Scarlett.
Scarlett did not want to stir up trouble on such occasions, although she wasn't a forgiving woman.
A man's voice suddenly cfrom outside the crowd when she was about to speak, "You've got it wrong. It'swho kept badgering Scarlett." Onlookers looked in the direction from which the sound was coming. Most of them were shocked when they found it was Raymond.
It was a miracle to hear that from Raymond. That was really incredible! Scarlett raised her eyebrows and saw Raymond walking towards her.
"Is this the way the Anderson family treats guests?"
