The most shameful and difficult words were spoken, and all of Flora Irving's mental defenses collapsed instantly.
Ghiovani Herd treated her like this, letting her die, letting her serve a man, and he would let her do anything in order to save his own life.
So why should she still hold on to that ridiculous chastity?
What's the point of chastity? Can it be more important than life?
As long as she's alive, everything else is bullshit.
Flora Irving said again: "I choose the second option ..."
Scarlett Glenn, Mrs. Herd, and Matilda Jenkins all had disdainful and cold sneers on their faces.
They had witnessed a great show today. The bastard couple who were still passionately in love just a moment ago, swearing their eternal love to each other for thirty years unchanged, turned their back on everything for their own lives - their faces, their spouses, their feelings - it was all nonsense.
