Unable to gain any ground with Valentine, Yva turned to Mark Reed, pulling on his sleeve and pleading incessantly, "Mark, don't let this woman deceive you, she's just a vixen…"

Mark shook off Yva's hand and said impatiently, "If there's news about Eluard, I'll let you know first thing. Please leave!"
Nevetheless, Yva, who had never been despised by Mark Reed like this before, couldn't accept the reality and murmured, "Mark... you've really changed... changed..."
