When I got up with her help, Yasmin rushed to me and slapped me, "Lawson, you are so shameless! No wonder you insisted on getting a divorce. It turns out that you have secretly found a mistress outside!"
Susan felt humiliated, her face flushing immediately, yet she gazed steadily at Yasmin and said, "What justification do you have? You use his money to maintain a kept man, yet as the class monitor, I'm not permitted to show concern for an old classmate? Your actions are truly unsavory, aren't they?"
This was the first time I had heard Susan argue with someone.
When her beautiful eyes swept over me, they no longer had the warmth of looking up at me from the dark but were full of sharpness and mockery when facing Yasmin.
