"And you, when you couldn't cozy up to Mr. Maris, you just picked any nobody to be your boyfriend... Ashley, have you really fallen this low during your family's decline?"
Megan tightened her grip on Maris' arm as she spoke, "Thank goodness Mr. Maris never agreed to your engagement. Imagine, your taste has sunk this low! If Mr. Maris had been engaged to you, he would have regretted it to death!"
Maris seemed to very much agree with Megan. He immediately wrapped his arm around Megan‘s waist, "Megan is right, Ashley. Even if I didn't want you, did you have to stoop so low?"
He glanced disdainfully at Arthur again, his meaning clear.
At this point, Ashley panicked, fearful that Arthur might misunderstand. Her face flushed with anger, "Who said I was going to get engaged to Maris! The Gibson family has a long history in politics, we wouldn‘t stoop so low as to suck up to you!"
