"Flossie, come over and sit."
Merry Otiz, who had been waiting all the time, had her eyes fixed on the stairs. As soon as she saw Flossie Wright coming down, a smile formed on her face. The touch of impatience she had shown just a moment ago was hidden away, as if all the previous discomfort and impatience were merely figments of the imagination.
Her enthusiastic greeting combined with her naturally attractive looks, topped off with a gentle and graceful smile, made her seem every inch the mistress of the Wright Family. Her ability to graciously transition between roles was impressive indeed.
But Flossie had no intention of squabbling with her. She had never paid much attention to the Wright Family, nor would she ever fight with her stepmother or step-siblings over anything. Besides, she had always lived a carefree life and tried to avoid the strict rules of families like the Wrights.
However, because she was straightforward and did not beat around the bush, Merry’s pretentious display of affection and thinly disguised disdain irritated her.
Ignoring Merry’s feigned enthusiasm, Flossie casually settled down on a single-seater sofa. Even though her back was straight, her gaze held a hint of indifference, as if the two people present were not worthy of her attention.
When Regan Wright saw Flossie’s indifferent demeanor, he was filled with anger. Here she was, having spent several months in the Forces but showing no improvement at all, not even remembering basic courtesy or filial piety, she did not even greet him!
"Have you forgotten how to address your elders after a few months?"
As the angry words fell, Regan Wright’s hand slammed on the coffee table. The wooden table made a sharp noise at his motion, even causing the three cups of tea on it to shake.
Merry Otiz’s eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of satisfaction flitting through her eyes.
Inside the Wright Family, the less Flossie was liked by Regan, the happier everyone else was.
For Merry, she had no blood ties or emotional connection with Flossie, who was also a potential threat to her future interests.

Since Merry couldn’t get rid of Flossie, she was happy to see Regan become increasingly displeased with her. In the Wright Family, the key thing was to be favored.
"I forgot," Flossie lifted her slender legs and elegantly crossed them, looking lazily at Regan Wright, "Why don’t you teach me?"
Regan’s face darkened further, his hand clenched into a fist, waves of anger rising from within him, ready to explode at any moment.
Regan was not known for his patience and bore a severe chauvinistic streak. No one dared to defy him at home, including the old Flossie. Even though she used to be ostentatious, she never dared to run amok in front of Regan.
Generally, the only person who could keep him in check was the old Mr. Wright, who had retired and was now enjoying his leisure time at home.
Now that Flossie had just returned and dared to disrespect him so blatantly, it was without a doubt, a fearless behavior. Even Merry was taken aback, the Flossie before her seemed like a different person, her edges more pronounced, and her stinging barbs only seemed to multiply.
More importantly, she appeared very calm, unlike the impulsive behaviors of someone who has lost their senses.
The tension spread throughout the living room, but after all, Regan had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations. No matter how angry he was, he knew that Flossie was his daughter. No matter how frustrated he was, he couldn’t possibly harm her directly. After all, it was him who would endure the heartache in the end.
