Chapter 196: Snatching a Lover

"I think Scarlett's behavior today is too debauched, it's too much to be a girl."

Scarlett only felt her heart beat wildly again, and she unconsciously pressed one hand on her chest, as if she wanted to suppress this heart. "Hiding from eavesdropping often leads to interesting things." She couldn't help but think of it. Should she slip out? Or come out and embarrass Hani? Unexpectedly, she heard another voice at this time, which made her stop. By the time she heard Melanie's voice, even the mule team couldn't pull her away.

"Oh, Hani, don't! Don't say that. She's just arrogant and lively. I think she's fascinating. ”

"Oh," Scarlett thought, her nails digging into her tights, "who doesn't know how to talk to me with this stupid girl who talks around the corners!" ”

Melanie's words were even worse than Hani's blatant abusive words. Scarlett never trusted any woman, nor did she believe that any woman acted with non-selfish motives, with the exception of her own mother. Melanie knew that she had a firm grip on Ashley, so she was so generous. Scarlett felt that this was just a ploy for Melanie, showing off her victory and winning praise from everyone for her amiability. Scarlett often uses this kind of trick when talking about other girls with men, and this kind of trick can always coax those stupid men to believe how amiable and fair she is.

Hani lowered her voice and continued:

"Well, look at how she flirts with every man she can seduce, even Mr. Kennedy, who is still her sister's lover. I've never seen anyone like this! Of course, Charles is also in her pursuit. Hani smiled embarrassedly, "You know, Charles and I are one by one."

"Really?" A few excited voices whispered.

"Well, don't tell anyone, the girls haven't written a word yet!"

Everyone laughed again, and someone hugged Hani tightly, causing the mattress springs to rattle. Melanie also muttered softly about how happy she was to have Hani as her sister-in-law.

"Oh, I don't want Scarlett to be my sister-in-law, I've never seen her so," came Herty Tarleton's annoyed voice. But in reality, she was engaged to Stuart. Although Brent said that she didn't mean anything to him, Brent was obsessed with her. ”

"Well, as I say," said Hani in a mysterious and solemn tone, "she is only interested in one person. That's Ashley! ”

A lively whisper was mixed together, asking questions, interjecting words, Scarlett felt both scared and humiliated, and couldn't help but chill all over. Although Hani is a fool, a fool, and a fool to men, she looks at other women with that kind of feminine instinct, which Scarlett underestimates her. The humiliation and demeanour she had just received from Ashley and Rhett Butler in the library was nothing compared to that. After all, a man's mouth is tightly sealed, and he doesn't talk nonsense, even a man like Mr. Butler, but Hani Welks, like a hound in a field, barks everywhere, and if she barks, the whole county will know before six o'clock. Her father said last night that he didn't want the county people to laugh at his daughter. How will the big guys laugh now! Cold sweat began to ooze from her armpits, all the way down to her ribs.

Melanie's voice was serious and calm, with a hint of reproach, overshadowing the others.

"Hani, you know that's not the case. That's too much. ”

"That's it, Lanny. If you're not always thinking about the good of people who aren't good, you'll see it. I'm so glad that's it. She deserved it. Scarlett O'Hara has always been a troublemaker, thinking about how to steal someone else's lover. You know that very well, she snatched Stuart from India, but she didn't want him. Today she also wants to rob Mr. Kennedy, and Ashley, and Charles I."

"I've got to go home!" Scarlett thought, "I have to go home!" ”

If only there was magic to send her back to Tara Manor, to safety. As long as I can be with my mother, even if it's just looking at my mother. She was going to pull her mother's skirt, fall on her and cry, and tell her mother everything. If she listened any further, she would rush in and pull off a handful of Hannie's pale hair, and spit on Melanie to let her know what her kindness was to everyone. But her behavior today was vulgar enough, like a poor white guy, and her fault was here.

"He's got a lot of money," she thought quickly, and a thought, a plan, crossed her mind, "and he doesn't have parents to bother me, and he lives in Atlanta." If I marry him right away, I'll make Ashley understand that I'm not interested in him, I'm just flirting with him. It would also kill Hani. She will never find anyone who loves her again, and everyone will laugh at her. It would also break Melanie's heart because she loved Charles so much. And it will also break the hearts of Stutt and Brent, one by one, "She herself can't figure out why she wants to break the hearts of the brothers, maybe it's because their sisters are also very sinister." "When I have a lot of beautiful clothes, and I have my own house, and I come back in a beautiful carriage, they will all be overwhelmed. They'll never make fun of me again. ”
