Malevolent gazes surrounded her. With an unnoticeable shift of her eyes, Flossie Wright vaguely recalled the events concerning Patrick Morrison.
When Flossie first entered university, Patrick Morrison, a junior, fell for her at first sight during a gathering. He persistently pursued her afterward, but Flossie, whose heart was solely occupied by Rowdy Brightwill, didn’t have any room for anyone else.
Patrick Morrison didn’t know what came over him to have fallen for her. Despite the advice of many friends, he remained stubborn and pursued her relentlessly, until Flossie repeatedly trampled upon his affections. It was then that he gradually gave up. What finally led to their complete severance was the public humiliation he received when Flossie shared his love letters and messages. This resulted in him becoming the laughingstock for the remaining two years of his university life.
Thus, the grudge between Patrick Morrison and Flossie was formed.
Nevertheless, Flossie didn’t bother much about how her suitors felt, nor cared about their opinions. The only one she cared about was Rowdy Brightwill. Considering the public security, no matter how embarrassed or furious Patrick Morrison felt, he wouldn’t make a drastic move like killing her. Naturally, he could only swallow his anger, which became his inner demon, until his situation improved somewhat after serving in the Forces.
However, his feelings towards Flossie could be described as love turned into bone-deep resentment.
Recollecting these events made Flossie innocently touch her nose. She had always been a carefree person, and since she wasn’t the one causing the situation, she didn’t need to care about what Patrick Morrison thought. Therefore, she adopted a go-with-the-flow attitude, ignoring the scorching stares directed at her.
But Flossie’s past unpopularity was evident. There were always those who disapproved of her and who took every opportunity to embarrass her, deriving happiness by doing so. The quieter or more introverted students sat by chatting peacefully, while those who liked to stir trouble made their way here, asking about how Morrison pursued her or how her relationship with Rowdy Brightwill was, clearly wishing to completely destroy her dignity.
"Ding——"
Surrounded by various noisy voices, Flossie tapped her spoon on the wine glass in front of her. The distinct and crisp sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room, who then curiously turned their eyes towards her.
Under everyone’s gaze, Flossie placed the spoon back leisurely, then picked up the wine glass filled with red wine. She seemed to swing it carelessly in her hand, her movements graceful. For a moment, it seemed like the entire private room had become her stage.
This was not the arrogant Flossie they remembered. She had retracted all her airs, not relying on external objects to create her aura anymore. Instead, her natural charisma unfolded slowly within the private room, drawing them towards her without realizing, and making them hesitate to take their eyes off her.
Without her usual heavy makeup and luxury items, she was dressed in a simple yet stylish trench coat. Her once prideful long hair was now cut short, but the neat and casual length suited her better. Even when she showed herself bare-faced, she could still attract all the men’s attention with just her face.
With a smile in her eyes, a discernable chilliness was present.
Casting a sideways glance at the crowd surrounding her, Flossie appeared indifferent, her words exceptionally calm, "If you have any questions, you can line up and ask them after the gathering."
