Unable to listen to Mary any longer, Matilda shouted angrily.

Calm fell back into the reception room.

Because of some excitement, her breathing was a little messy, her chest kept rising and falling slightly, and she looked at her friend with heartache. The other looked back at him with a slightly mocking expression, without any fear or guilt.

They looked at each other for a few moments, and Matilda finally withdrew her gaze.

Although there was still the anger and shame of being robbed of her lover, when the anger subsided, she unexpectedly felt that she could understand the other party's feelings a little.

"I'm sorry, Mary." She looked down at her hands. "I shouldn't have said that about you."

"It's okay, you're qualified to say that." Mary replied indifferently, and then couldn't help laughing, "I'll be honest with you, at the beginning, I expected you to be angry and even slap me...... Now that's it, I should be glad to be happy, right? ”

"Don't do that...... All right? Matilda sighed softly with a look of nostalgia, "We...... What good friends we were! ”

It was precisely because they were friends that she was worried about the safety of the other party at that time.

It is precisely because they are friends that she feels double pain for what the other party has done.

Along with this pain is an unprecedented confusion.

How on earth should she deal with all this sudden revelation?

Should I say goodbye to Charles? But is it really strange that when faced with that deliberate temptation, a man can't control himself? In a sense, didn't she try it herself?

But if you pretend that nothing has happened and ignore it. She felt angry again.

While she was still unsettled by this, Mary spoke again.

"Aren't we friends now? Mathilda? Mary also sighed, "The thing we regret the most is that we have all grown up. That's all. Maybe you hate me right now, I can understand that. But I have absolutely no ill will towards you...... That's why I'm coming to you at this time. Do you think that I only deliberately came to you to show off my victory in front of you and deliberately angry with you? ”

"And what are you for?" Matilda asked rhetorically.

As she asked, she suddenly felt something in her heart, and then her eyes widened slightly and she looked at Mary in disbelief.

It's really Matilda, even if she was so flustered just now. Now I'm back in my head! Mary couldn't help but praise in her heart.

"That's right, I'm trying to find a solution between us." Mary nodded, "Despite this unpleasant incident, I still hope to redeem my friendship with you, because it is very important to me. ”

"Redemption?" Matilda looked at Mary in disbelief.

"Don't you want to redeem this qiē?" Mary smiled and replied, "Or do you want us to really fight for the Charles, as the old gentleman hoped?" ”

Matilda looked at Mary, waiting for her explanation.

"You like him, I can see that. It's true love. And I'm not going to break you up. However...... I'm sorry, but I'm not going to back down in the face of the mission. Otherwise, I'm going to lose a qiē that I earned so hard. "So, in order not to put us all in the most uncomfortable situation, I think we can come to some kind of compromise...... Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to,"

Mary sighed again, "I admit that you weigh much more weight in his heart now—but, Matilda, don't forget that he's busy. I won't see you for long, and I can spend time with him...... If I really want to try it, it's not out of the question. At least you shouldn't take that risk, right? ”

Mary's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Matilda's most uncomfortable place.

Although it was angry at first. But now that she knew all the truth, she didn't want to leave Charles.

After a long hesitation, Matilda finally made up her mind, and then glanced at the other party calmly.

"Well, what do you want? What do I have to do to give up? ”

At this moment, she no longer looks at each other as friends, but looks at each other from the most calm and pragmatic perspective.

Mary hurriedly waved her hand slightly.

"Matilda, don't say that, I'm not trying to blackmail you into anything. I just want us all to find a way to take what we want, not kill each other. ”

After several years of getting along, these ladies have long since weighed up their classmates, and then they have long since distinguished which people they can control and even manipulate, and which ones they should not provoke - wherever women gather, it is almost an instinct, and it will not take much time for them to quickly understand their belonging circle and their place in the circle - so at that time everyone will be divided into two large factions and several subordinate circles, and they hate and argue with each other for several years.

Because of this, she knows what the consequences of being hated by Matilda for the rest of her life will be.

"To each his own?"

"Yes, to each according to his needs." Mary spoke quickly about her thoughts, lest Matilda leave first, "I have no intention of letting you leave Charles, but rather that it is an outcome I don't want to see, because I can't bear to see you sad." ”

Although she knew that she didn't mean much sincerity, Matilda was still relieved.

"Then, you can continue to communicate in the future, I have no interest in informing, but I ask you to be more secretive, and make sure that the old gentleman thinks that I am incompetent, otherwise I will be finished." As she spoke, Mary suddenly glanced at Matilda with a slight smile as if teasing, "Of course, it's up to you to try." Tell him not to talk nonsense, and tell him to pretend that he has forgotten about you in front of his grandfather. ”

Then, she frowned slightly. "Really, anyway. It's too indecent to confront your grandfather in front of you for your sake......"

This ridicule made Matilda feel slightly embarrassed, but she had a burst of joy in her heart inexplicably, and she hurriedly suppressed it. "What about you? What do you want? ”

"I've got what I wanted, even though I paid a lot." Mary smiled wryly, apparently not as relaxed as she said, "He won't leave me alone, he's always been nice to himself." I am obedient and diligent, and I 'love him', how can he be willing to let go? ”

Then, she glanced at Matilda again with that look of challenge and teasing.

"But I have to say it beforehand, if he falls in love with me in the future, I'm not responsible, right?"

"Are you serious?" Matilda asked rhetorically.

"Maybe?" Mary smiled and replied, "Who can say what lies ahead?" ”

That's right, who can manage the future, at least for now, there is still hope to recover.

After staring at it for a long time to make sure that the other party was not lying. Matilda nodded slightly.

"Well, Mary, thank you. I owe you a favor. I'll find a way to return it to you later. ”

"You don't need favors," Mary waved her hand, "everyone takes what they need." ”

In this way, after reaching a preliminary tacit understanding, the two fell into silence again.

"Then again," it wasn't until a long time later that Mary asked Matilda a question again with great interest, "what are you going to do?" Is it just a matter of carefully maintaining this fragile relationship? Don't forget, he's getting married. And I don't want to change my mind at all. ”

"Who can say what the future holds?" Matilda replied with a little bitterness. "Let's find a way to get by, now we can do it."

"Can't you see that you know how to have fun in time?" Mary was a little surprised, "I thought you would have more positive thoughts?" ”

"What else? For us. As long as you can have a good time, aren't you already satisfied? I just want to enjoy this time quietly. Matilda smiled wryly and shook her head. You may not believe it, I don't want to hurt that Miss Tréville, maybe you think it's hypocrisy, but that's what I do. ”

"But the other Miss Trevier has better relations with us, doesn't she?" Mary asked rhetorically. "Can't you bear to see her sad? So how are you going to face her? While taking away the person she loves the most, she laughs and says that we are good friends? Don't you feel guilty? ”

"......," Matilda was silent for a moment. But what can be done? Fate plays tricks, who can do it. ”

"Why is there no way? Isn't it just a wish? She also didn't want to get married publicly. Mary frowned, "As long as we help her to make her wish, she will be grateful to us, and then forgive us for the mistakes we committed on impulse...... We weren't sorry for her then, were we? As long as every qiē is done in secret, no one commits a mistake......"

Although his tone was calm, Matilda was dumbfounded.

"You mean ......"

"That's right, I can't stand it anymore when I see her sad and haggard." Mary hissed and replied, "She saved me, I must help her, and I am willing to bear with her even the worst things." ”

"You're crazy! Absolutely not! ”

Matilda immediately refused, and a sense of disgust came over her, and she didn't want to talk to the other person anymore.

"Dispel this thought! This is damned, and I will never help! ”

Then, without looking back, she walked out of the reception room.

Mary watched her departing back silently.

Then, slowly, she got back to her feet.

What prompted her to make this decision was not only the desire to repay Fran for her help in the first place, but also a small part of it was due to the revenge psychology of women who are tenacious to the point of deep in the bone marrow.

Old thing, you think you can manipulate me at will, and I'll make you a big fool, what do you have to be distressed when you see it?
