"Yvonne!"
People in the same circle would never embarrass each other, let alone say something horrible like that.
Yvonne only said that because she thought that Scarlett was of inferior birth and that there was no need for her to be agreeable to Scarlett.
Raymond's gruff voice calmed Yvonne down, but she couldn't let it go, "Did I say something wrong? If she had wanted to leave you then, she would have left Juanton City and married a man she deserved! But in reality, she appears by your side from time to time. Can't you tell she's playing hard to get with you?"
"Hard to get?" Scarlett chuckled and glanced at Yvonne.
Then she stared at Raymond and said word by word," Do you remember what I asked Secretary Lewis to tell you the day we got divorced, Raymond?"
"It doesn't matter if you have forgotten. I'll refresh your memory."
Scarlett then repeated her exact words, "Since we are divorced, it's better to pretend we don't know each other in the future." "I have always followed this principle."
At this point, Scarlett paused and said, "I didn't expect that someone would think that I was pestering you and playing hard to get. Miss Sheridan's right. I really should leave this damn place and marry someone who deserves me. And you..."
"Humph! You don’t deserve me at all!" Scarlett snorted.
Her voice was not loud, but the corridor was empty, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Alexander gulped with shock at Scarlett's words.
If it weren’t for the awkwardness of the atmosphere, h e would give Scarlett the thumbs-up sign and exclaim, 'You're the man!'
It was the first time he had heard a woman say Raymond didn’t deserve her.
Alexander was excited and shocked to witness this moment with his own eyes.
