After all, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes had been chatting for such a long time, and the two were really good friends, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if Becca Reyes truly became Flossie Wright’s confederate.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"You can’t choose your friends."
"Pick someone you don’t know!"
"Rowdy Brightwill, that idiot, won’t do either."
Listening to the noisy voices, Rowdy Brightwill, who got caught in the crossfire innocently, rolled his eyes heavenward, resigned.
"So," after a slight pause, Flossie Wright smiled with a curled lip, "Instructor, can you dance?"
She looked up, her gaze sweeping directly towards Nancy Phillips, her eyes filled with laughter as they curved up.
In an instant, all sounds went silent.
At first, the gazes that fell upon Nancy Phillips were filled with suspicion, fearing that Nancy Phillips was the real "plant," but soon, remembering Nancy Phillips’s character, those suspicions gradually faded.
And Nancy Phillips, the one who had been called out, furrowed her brows in bewilderment, expressing her inability to comprehend Flossie Wright’s behavior.
Could it be—
Did Flossie Wright have full confidence, believing that her own flaws wouldn’t be detected by Nancy?
In her eyes, all magic was fake, with flaws ready to be found.
Even Flossie Wright had said that she was going to perform a sleight of hand.
Thinking this, Nancy Phillips still rose to her feet and came before Flossie Wright with a calm expression.
"You’re dancing with me?" Nancy Phillips asked, raising her eyebrows.
Flossie Wright spread her hands.
Having said that, she reached out directly, grabbed Nancy Phillips’s arm, and led her into a swift tango.
Their movements were incredibly fast, dazzling the onlookers.
Yet, before they had time to be astounded, the next moment most people were completely dumbfounded.
Including Austin Shepherd.
Tissues, wallets, cell phones, lighters...
One by one, these items were thrown into the hands of Austin Shepherd.
Nancy Phillips, still dancing, was completely unaware.
From their outside position, they could see clearly. Flossie Wright was dancing, her fingers nimbly slipping through Nancy Phillips’s pockets, and with every reach, something was definitely being "lifted."
In less than a minute, Flossie Wright stopped dancing.
Nancy Phillips abruptly halted her steps, still somewhat stunned.
Just dancing?
Impossible!
Instinct told her that Flossie Wright must have done something.
But during the dance, she had concentrated all her attention and observed nothing.
Mulling this over, but before she could come to grips with it, she heard the sound of clapping—
"Clap clap clap."
"Clap clap clap."
"Clap clap clap."
As the sound grew louder, everyone around them stood up from the grassland, giving a heartfelt affirmation to Flossie Wright’s performance.
Nancy Phillips frowned, scanning the crowd, but quickly noticed the items in Austin Shepherd’s hands.
Her gaze suddenly paused.
Those were hers!
Her eyes widened in shock, Nancy Phillips stared at her belongings, filled with disbelief.
Why were they in Austin Shepherd’s hands?
Could it be—
Was it Flossie Wright’s doing?!
"Here," soon after, Austin Shepherd went over and returned all the items to her, "Yours."
Nancy Phillips raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Understanding her confusion, Austin Shepherd nodded.
With a pile of belongings in her hands, Nancy Phillips’s face darkened slightly, and she couldn’t help but size up Flossie Wright, only to realize she had already walked away.
Her brows furrowed deeply.
There was an unwillingness in her heart.
Flossie Wright just like that, unaware to her, had taken all the belongings on her person?
The troubling part was that she hadn’t noticed at all!
The humiliation was complete.
She had come forward willingly, and Flossie Wright had taken the initiative to acknowledge it too, so she couldn’t blame Flossie Wright.
But with a suffocating feeling in her chest, she had no way to vent.
"You seem somewhat unconvinced."
Austin Shepherd looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Why should I be convinced?" Nancy Phillips frowned, looking at him quite displeased.
She and Austin Shepherd were part of the same group that had come in, but unlike Rowdy Brightwill, she always kept her distance from Austin Shepherd.
There were no deep grudges; she just felt that Austin Shepherd was too calculating, seeing through everything.
Too easy to get along with.
She subconsciously wanted to keep her distance.
