despicable (or treacherous) adj.: reptilian
A sad schoolgirl rejects a suitor, even though he’s immensely wealthy and devoted. Not long afterward, she spurns a handsome admirer who crossed the Atlantic just to look at her. A few years later, having come into her own fortune (unexpectedly, from a rich uncle), the young woman agrees to marry a reptilian creep: a sneaky, shameless gold-digger without redeeming traits. (Bob Ross, “That Was No ‘Lady,’ That Was Her Life,” Tampa Tribune, 1/17/1997.)
