After dealing with Andrew, Daisy Deacon disbanded Saughter, emptied Saughter’s funds, and conveniently snatched enough money from Perry Reed to last her entire life.
The aftermath was pretty much taken care of as well.
Daisy planned to come over for a couple of days to spend some time with Flossie Wright, see her new life, and then planned to leave.
According to Daisy, it was about doing whatever she wanted, wandering the world.
"Is there a room for me?"
On the road, Daisy hooked her arm around Flossie’s shoulder and asked with a playful smile.
"Hmm." Flossie nodded.
"Shall we sleep together?" Daisy raised her eyebrows suggestively at her.
Flossie slightly raised an eyebrow.
Before she could answer, a cool voice interrupted, "Not allowed."
Their steps stopped instantly.
Almost instinctively, they looked toward the direction of the voice.

There, in a military uniform, Glenn Hutchinson walked over with a deliberate pace. His sharp-featured handsome face was overlaid with a cold aura, and his aura could be felt from afar.
"And this is..." Daisy slowly addressed Flossie, deliberately dragging out her words.
They had met once, but Daisy had already inquired about Glenn Hutchinson’s situation from Perry Reed. Although Perry seemed intent on "smearing" his reputation, Daisy didn’t completely buy it.
"Glenn Hutchinson." Flossie introduced, her eyes slightly moving, then added, "You’ve met."
Daisy’s elbow rested on her shoulder, evaluating the approaching Glenn Hutchinson with a smile curling at her lips and a scrutinizing look in her eyes, "Is he your man?"
"..." Flossie’s gaze drifted over her.
In an instant, Glenn Hutchinson’s expression turned peculiar.
Flossie avoided Glenn Hutchinson’s gaze and introduced the woman next to her, "Daisy Deacon."
"We’ve met." Glenn Hutchinson replied coldly.
"Hello." Daisy sized up Glenn Hutchinson, then extended her hand in a gesture of goodwill.
However, Glenn Hutchinson merely glanced at her, his hand unmoving, and directly spat out two words, "Avoid suspicion."
Daisy’s hand froze mid-air, and then she shot a sidelong glance at Flossie, full of meaning.
Flossie looked up at the sky, making stuff up, "He’s shy."
"..." Daisy almost got a cramp in her eyes.
Did this gentleman look shy at all?!
She sure knew how to make excuses for her man!
"..." Glenn Hutchinson’s face was stiff for a moment, but in the end, he couldn’t help but pull out the corner of his mouth.
Flossie grabbed her arm, raised an eyebrow, "Want me to show you around?"
Daisy didn’t push it further, offering her an easy way out.
"Wait." Glenn Hutchinson called out to her.
Staring directly at her, Glenn Hutchinson slowly and deliberately instructed, "Dinner together tonight."
"Alright." Flossie readily agreed.
Then, she forcefully dragged away Daisy, who seemed eager to stir up trouble.
A few words weren’t enough for Flossie to quarrel with her, so she took Daisy on a tour of the entire Base—though she wasn’t one to enjoy giving tours, this time, Flossie’s interest clearly showed a little, actually explaining every place to Daisy. How much of it was perfunctory, only they knew.
