Stephen came back home soon after hanging up the phone. He saw Cindy sitting on the sofa. Her cheeks puffed up.
Stephen raised his eyebrows. "Who upset you?"
Cindy glanced at Stephen and grunted. " Why are they so bad? When they bullied Scarlett, no one said they were wrong. Yet now they are all criticizing Scarlett because of such a trivial thing."
Stephen knew that his sister worshiped Scarlett. He was indeed a bit prejudiced against Scarlett in the past, but he realized that they were superficial. It was not a bad thing for Cindy to admire Scarlett.
After all, Stephen discovered that as long as Cindy could learn something from Scarlett, he wouldn't worry that Cindy would be bullied after she was married.
"So why do you bother about them?"
Cindy's lips twitched. "Alexander called me and asked me to remove the post."
Stephen glanced at her calmly. "You didn't post the recording. How can you remove it?
"That's right. I didn’t..."
Cindy was suddenly aware that Stephen was teasing the truth out of her. She hastily covered her mouth, but it was too late.
Cindy couldn't help glaring at Stephen. " Stephen!"
Seeing her like this, Stephen smiled. "I won't scold you."
He paused for a moment. "Scarlett asked you to take the blame, right?"
Cindy was afraid that Stephen would hate Scarlett. She thus shook her head. "No. I just couldn't bear to see it. I did that myself!
Stephen looked at his innocent sister with a sigh. "You’d better learn from Scarlett in the future."
Stephen glanced at her with a grunt and continued, "So you should learn from Scarlett. She is very smart."
Stephen's last sentence echoed in Cindy's ears. She was so happy to hear her brother praise her goddess. "I think so too! Last night in the restroom, when I heard Libby and Mrs. Jones talk about Scarlett, I was so annoyed that I almost cried, but Scarlett came over and just said a few words to silence them. She is so awesome! Scarlett taught me how to argue with others last night..."
Stephen had little interest in Scarlett. He just grunted, asked Cindy to spend more time with Scarlett, and then went upstairs to his room.
Stephen would be pleased if Scarlett was willing to teach Cindy.
Scarlett didn't expect that Stephen would think so much. She just felt that Cindy was pitiful because this girl was naive and didn't even know how to quarrel.
"Did Alexander call you?"
After they got into the car, Scarlett looked at Raymond with a slight smile.
