GoodReadWhen Scarlett was holding the phone without speaking, Gisselle and Olivia were on pins and needles in the quiet office.
Gisselle and Olivia didn't expect Scarlett to say that.
Olivia's face instantly turned pale. Gisselle was older than her and had experienced many things. Gisselle's expression changed, but she was calm. "Ms. Reed, Ollie is young. She doesn't know what she is doing and often offends others. | apologize to you for her. We're very sorry for getting you in trouble. | heard that Ollie bought the bag you like last night. It wasn’t intentional. She just likes that bag, but since you also like it. We're happy to give it to you.
"Ollie was wrong. We are here today to say sorry to you, Ms. Reed. What can we do to make it up to you? We'll try our best to satisfy you." Gisselle spoke tactfully. Yet Scarlett didn't need the Morse family to do anything for her.
Those were nice but empty words.

However, Scarlett was annoyed. Yesterday Scarlett let Olivia off, but Olivia gossiped about Scarlett again after one night.
Scarlett thought, 'How dare Olivia say that I'm dating Alexander?’ It seemed that Olivia didn't take Scarlett's warning seriously.
"Mrs. Morse, you may not know me very well. I'm not good-tempered. Perhaps you don't know what your daughter said yesterday. Then I'll repeat it to you." Scarlett had a good memory of what she had seen or heard. She repeated what Olivia had said word by word.
"Raymond had been fine before. After he had gone back to Deeton City with her once, he had an accident. Who knows if she did it?" Scarlett imitated Olivia's tone. After saying that, Scarlett curved her lips and glanced at Olivia. "Ms. Morse, my memory is quite good. Is this what you said?" Gisselle had thought her daughter just gossiped about Scarlett's private life. Gisselle was taken aback, glanced at Scarlett, and slapped Olivia across the face. "You're so reckless! How could you say that?" Olivia was afraid, crying after being slapped.
Gisselle constantly scolded and hit Olivia.
Scarlett sat there without saying a word, watching the fun.
Meanwhile, Katherine knocked on the door and came in with coffee.
Scarlett said, "Mrs. Morse, | told Ms. Morse at noon yesterday that it's not a good habit to gossip. Ms. Morse said she would correct her mistakes, but she repeated her mistakes after one night. | don't think Ms. Morse will mend her ways." Scarlett looked at Katherine. "Katherine, what do you think can make Ms. Morse stop gossiping?" Katherine met Scarlett's gaze, standing there expressionlessly. "Perhaps we should pull out Ms. Morse's tongue. If she can't speak, she may change her bad habit." As soon as Katherine said that, Gisselle blanched. Olivia shuddered and subconsciously leaned towards Gisselle.
"Ms. Reed, we ... we're under the rule of law.
Scarlett smiled. "Mrs. Morse, you're right. We're under the rule of law." Scarlett pretended to give Katherine an accusing look. "Katherine, we should obey the law. How can you have such thoughts?" Katherine pursed her lips. "Ms. Reed, I'm wrong." "It's okay. Don't think like that again." Scarlett got up. "Katherine, send my guests away" Gisselle was startled. "Ms. Reed..." Katherine went forward. "Mrs. Morse and Ms. Morse, Ms. Reed is very busy. | hope you can understand." Olivia was scared of Scarlett, feeling that Scarlett could pull her tongue out.
Olivia didn't dare to stay any longer and tugged at Gisselle's sleeve. "Mom, let's go." Gisselle was worried about her daughter. Besides, it was uncertain whether Scarlett would accept their apology.

Therefore, it was useless for them to stay any longer. Gisselle and Olivia had to leave.
Just as they reached the door, Scarlett said, "Mrs. Morse, wait a moment." Scarlett walked to the sofa, picked up the bag, and returned it to Gisselle. "Mrs.
Morse, | won't take away what others want. And | don't like bags." Gisselle instantly understood. She looked at Scarlett and seemed to want to say something else, but Katherine broke in, " Mrs. Morse, this way please." Gisselle glanced at Scarlett, who was standing there with a faint smile.
In an instant, Gisselle knew that Scarlett wouldn't let Olivia get away with it.
Yet they didn't know what Scarlett was going to do.
After the two women went away, the office became quiet again.
