Scarlett Glenn's words felt like a bucket of ice water pouring down on Margaret Glenn, who only wished to marry Jim Caldwell. However, it was clear that Jim Caldwell already loathed her, and it had taken her attempted suicide and years of trying to please Mrs. Caldwell to reluctantly maintain her relationship with him.
How could she marry Jim Caldwell if she caused a scene here?
Margaret Glenn looked at Jim Caldwell, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Jim, we've been in love for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person Scarlett Glenn is? Three years ago, she got up from Ethan Herd's bed, and you saw it! She's nothing but a promiscuous slut! Please don't let her manipulate you..."
Suddenly, Scarlett Glenn shoved Margaret Glenn hard, causing her to stumble back two steps, lose her balance, and fall. Her right ankle throbbed with agonizing pain.
