"Second, things are not what you saw, in fact, at that time the two of us..."
Mrs. Herd was about to spill the truth. Suddenly, Scarlett Glenn grabbed Mrs. Herd's hand and whispered urgently into her ear, "Aunt, she's coming down. If you say the kiss didn't happen, aren't you just sparing her the heartbreak? Plus, she'll only get worse in the future. Can you bear that?"
Mrs. Herd was startled. That slut was coming down?
She glanced behind her, and sure enough, she saw Fristy Davis.
Scarlett Glenn added, "Aunt, think about it. If you go along with the Old Lady and say it, and she hears it, thinking you and Uncle are going to get married... what do you think... she'll do?"
Mrs. Herd's brain did a quick loop and she murmured, "Hang herself? Jump off a building? Take poison?"
Scarlett Glenn nodded, "Heartbroken, in extreme agony! Don't you want to see that scene?"
Mrs. Herd suddenly felt that Scarlett Glenn's words made a lot of sense.
