But they still hoped that Scarlett was actually just mediocre. Therefore, all the girls from wealthy families were bitterly making unfavorable remarks about Scarlett.
On an occasion like this, the restroom was usually the place where honest words could be heard.
Scarlett had been in there for barely two minutes, but she had already overheard a lot of honest words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"| can't believe Raymond really has his eye on Scarlett! | don't know what he sees in her. She has nothing but a pretty face!" "Well, | wouldn't say that." "Hey, whose side are you on exactly?!" "Ha-ha! You've got a point! The way | see it, she must've slept with a lot of men. | mean, she walks with a rolling gait, and she keeps tossing glowing glances at men. My goodness! I've never seen a woman as sluttish as her!" "Lettell you something: all men love the likes of her! You've seen her dress. It makes her look like a guileless lady, right? That's how she creates the contrast!" "Oh, you're so bad! How cyou know so much about that stuff?" Scarlett lifted her brows and walked out of the stall. "Excuse me.” She shouldered the two women aside and walked over to the mirror. Looking into the mirror at the faces of the two women whose face had changed, she turned off the tap, pulled out a tissue and began to dry her hands unhurriedly. "First of all, thank you guys for complimentingon my beauty." With that she paused, tossed the used tissue into the garbage can on the side and resumed, "Second, bad- mouthing people behind their backs is not an honorable thing to do. Now I'm standing right in front of you. If you have more mean words to say, I'm all ears." Having finished speaking, Scarlett looked at the two women in front of her with a half smile.
One of them, abashed and annoyed, snapped, "What a psychopath!" "Let's just ignore her and get out of here." Scarlett had not chere to make trouble. She attended this party solely because she wanted to go along for the ride.
The two jealous girls’ words didn't bother her at all.
She returned to the banquet hall to find that Jasper had been wheeled out by Yvonne's big brother Jason. Jasper looked radiant tonight, and he had a smile on his face all along.
But there was no telling how exasperated Jasper would becin a few moments.
Jasper made scorrect remarks about his gratitude to the attendees and specially singled out Darrell, his future grandson-in- law.
However, Darrell showed no appreciation for Jasper's gesture of goodwill. He promptly said, "Mr. Sheridan, I'm afraid your granddaughter's way out of my league.
At the stime, someone screamed, and soon images of a high-definition video of two people having sex was displayed on the large screen.
The woman in the video was Yvonne, but the man was not Darrell.
Seconds later, another sex scene was displayed. The woman in it was still Yvonne, but the man was a different one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll Sheridans were stunned. Jason yelled at someone to turn off the video.
However, the digital player of the hotel had been hacked, and the short video couldn't be turned off until the end of it.
Seven or eight seconds later, yet another man showed up in the video. Of course, the woman in it was still Yvonne.
Jasper fainted from rage on the spot. The attendees down below fell into discussion with each other.
Those who had brought children with them promptly left.
Raymond had put his hand over Scarlett's eyes the instant the video began to play.
She gave his hand a pull but failed to remove it. "Raymond?!" "Don't watch it." How could he let her see another man naked when she hadn't seen him naked yet? "You're watching it. Why can't | do the same?" Scarlett had just finished speaking when the hand over her eyes was removed, but when she lifted her head, her eyes met Raymond's dark ones.
Standing before her, he looked down at her somberly, "I didn't look at it, Scarlett." Scarlett's lips curved in a smile as she looked back at him. "Okay." The whole hall was a scene of utter confusion. Having no way to turn off the projector, Yvonne looked at Darrell who was standing on the stage and rushed straight up to him. "This is your doing, isn't it? Why are you doing this to me, Darrell? Why are you doing this to me?!"
