Listening to Rachel Bailey's words, Mrs. Alwin did not change her opinion. She believed Rachel was putting on an act.
However, Floyd Thomas, who stood behind Mrs. Alwin, developed a bit of fondness for Rachel.
Floyd had always been in favor of Hansen, feeling that Hansen had the right to pursue his own happiness, and Hansen had always been chasing the life he wanted. Now, Rachel hadn't accepted Hansen's pursuit, yet Mrs. Alwin came to Rachel so forcefully, trying to get rid of her with money. It was too overbearing, too unreasonable. Anyone facing such an event would naturally become angry. What Floyd admired about Rachel was her perseverance, refusing to let her self-esteem be tarnished by money.
