Scarlett stepped out of the cubicle and glanced at Breanna with a subtle smile. Then she went to the sink and, while washing her hands, said nonchalantly, "So Miss Jones wants the vase in my house?" Then she pulled a paper towel and wiped her hands, "But why would I give it to you?" Scarlett smiled. She looked up at Breanna," Do you guys deserve it?" "Ms. Reed, you're going too far." Breanna felt like Scarlett had slapped her on the face, and her face was red and hot. She didn't want to say anything more, but Scarlett's words agitated her.
Scarlett went up to Cindy, looked at her red eyes, and she said, "Poor girl, why do you get mad with them? They are nobody. It's not worth getting angry with them." Then she took Cindy's hand and walked straight out.
"Scarlett! Who are you talking about? Come back and make it clear!" As Libby had wished, Scarlett really came back. But instead of saying something right away, she let go of Cindy's hand and took her phone out. She found the recording and played it on.

"Mom, what was Scarlett's gift?" "What do you expect her to bring? She brought a box of Kinglane Tea, worth no more than $20,000.” "Scarlett! You have no shame!" Scarlett turned off the recording. Looking at Libby, the smile on her face faded." Shame? Why didn't you think of it when you were badmouthing me behind my back?" Breanna didn't want things going too far. She held back her anger and comforted Scarlett, "Ms. Reed, don't be mad! Libby's young. She's rude." Scarlett agreed, "Yes, she is." After a pause, she continued, "If she had any decency, she wouldn't have said what gift she was expecting as if you really wanted the vase." "People might get the wrong idea, Mrs. Jones." Scarlett had no intention of making a big deal out of it, but Breanna and her daughter were being so mean to her. They should not blame her for giving them tit-for-tat.
Scarlett had the recording, and Breanna couldn't do anything but be humble. "Ms. Reed, you're right. I'll teach her later! Ms. Reed, let's forget about it! Don’t make a big deal out of it." Breanna's words were polite, but there was a hint of threatening in them.
Scarlett nodded her head, "Mrs. Jones, you're right. Grandpa Jones is old and it's his birthday party. | don’t want to upset him." "Then let's call it a day." Well, Scarlett said today.
But Breanna didn't think much of it. She was relieved to hear Scarlett’s words, "Ms. Reed, we have to go. We have a lot of guests today." Scarlett smiled as if nothing had happened Libby was dragged away by Breanna.
Before she left, she gave Scarlett a stern look.
Cindy didn't know how to argue with people. She was amazed by the scene she had just seen.
Cindy used to think that when people argued, they needed to curse incessantly, loudly, and quickly so that they would win in the first place, and then they would win the fight.

Cindy felt it wasn't an argument, but Scarlett was teaching them a lesson.
"Wow, Scarlett, you were brilliant!" Cindy was not good at arguing with people. She couldn't argue with people right away, and she was slow to speak.
When she stepped out of the cubicle earlier, she was mad. She blustered harsh words, but in reality, she almost shed tears. Cindy felt sympathy for Scarlett. Libby and her mother were mean. Cindy knew the story. She had a lot to say, but she didn't know how to say it.
Scarlett smiled. She lifted her hand to wipe the tears on the corners of Cindy's eyes," When you meet crazy people, you have to be calm. Keep your head clear and get to the point. Then find their weaknesses and fire on their weakness." Then Scarlett paused for a moment, "In conclusion, get to the point!" Cindy felt like she got it. She understood every word and every sentence Scarlett said. But when they came together, she didn't understand it at all.
"Scarlett, you are amazing!" Scarlett looked at her. She knew Cindy didn't understand. She didn't say any more, "If you run into something like that, don't get mad." If one got angry, then he lost the fight.
