This one...
Um, how to put it, she seemed to be someone of great importance and with a high task at hand.
So, when all eyes were on Rowdy Brightwill walking towards Flossie Wright, a name finally emerged in their muddled minds—
Rowdy Brightwill.
Could it be that this is the rumored young master of the Brightwill Family, Rowdy Brightwill?
Just as everyone was discussing it avidly, a few who had met him nudge the people beside them and whispered their confirmations into their ears.
Yes, it’s him. It’s definitely him, Rowdy Brightwill.
The Rowdy Brightwill who’s been heartrendingly handsome since childhood.
Gradually, the voices questioning Flossie Wright’s supposed canceled engagement were completely gone, replaced by either envious or jealous looks, as if Flossie Wright, initially a fierce woman no one wanted, suddenly became a desirable prize. This drastic change shocked quite a few people.
Of course, the most shocked of all was Kate Rivera.
Kate Rivera didn’t appreciate Flossie Wright’s arrogance. Several times, she felt irked by her even when there was no actual dispute. Flossie Wright was the kind of person who never took other’s feelings into account. She acted recklessly and often offended people. Kate Rivera naturally fell victim to her outspokenness many times. Seeing her today only intensified her resentment.
Kate had thought that involving Flossie Wright today might embarrass her. Little did she expect Flossie Wright to silence everyone just with two chopsticks. After that, no one dared to continue the topic of Rowdy Brightwill. Just as Kate Rivera tried to steer the conversation back, Rowdy Brightwill himself appeared, putting an immediate end to all the gossip and speculation.
"I apologize, everyone, but I have to take Flossie away," Rowdy Brightwill said in a congenial manner, a slight smile playing on his already captivating face. He lightly placed his hand on Flossie Wright’s shoulder, his voice tinged with a bit of humor. "She actually left me behind for all of you."
There was a subtle hint of intimacy between them, a blatant display of affection. In the most obvious way, he let everyone present know that the relationship between Flossie Wright and him was fine. There was no such thing as a "canceled engagement".
The quick-witted ones didn’t just stand there dumbfounded but instead greeted Rowdy Brightwill naturally. Most of them were used to putting up a facade, so even though they had just met, they treated him like a long-lost friend. However, Rowdy Brightwill wasn’t fond of their feigned smiles.
It was laughable. If anyone at the Forces dared to put on such a hypocritical mask every day, wouldn’t they all beat the pretentiousness out of him?
Anyone in the Forces is used to being straightforward. They wouldn’t handle such hypocrisy very well.
Luckily, although Rowdy Brightwill had spent two years in the Forces, his family-trained manners hadn’t completely abandoned him yet. Replacing his military uniform with a suit for once, he treated all this like a rare amusement. Even if he wasn’t used to it, he managed to handle these lively people with ease, manipulating the conversation to tame them without seeming aggressive.
As for Flossie Wright, the other main character in this scene, she was simply enjoying the show. As long as Rowdy Brightwill was on her side, she didn’t need to worry about a thing.

Not lingering any longer there, Rowdy Brightwill only made a round then let Flossie Wright steal all the limelight. From originally being ridiculed by people, in the end, everyone marvelled at her. They all watched as the two of them left, not realizing the bitter taste in their hearts until their figures disappeared from sight.
