Gradually, those who had enjoyed the spectacle had mostly dispersed.
"I’m sorry," Merry Otiz embarrassingly said to Flossie Wright. However, having experienced trials and tribulations, her perfect smile once again emerged. "Flossie, I misunderstood you."
When the little boy looked at her with a triumphant gaze, Flossie ruffled his hair, but her gaze towards Merry Otiz was entirely different.
"Could you stop blocking the way?"
Flossie asked, with a tone neither cold nor warm, allowing no face-saving whatsoever.
Merry, who had finally managed to maintain a smiling face, was at a loss for words under such straightforward comments. Her smile gradually turned bitter.
Flossie used to confront Merry, but that was usually limited to scowling or direct cursing - things Merry could easily handle without much thought. Therefore, she was able to easily make Regan Wright despise Flossie, because one didn’t need to expend much effort to dislike someone with Flossie’s former temperament.
However, the Flossie of now was very direct, which was not due to lack of communication skills, but rather because she had become too eloquent, hitting the nail on the head with every sentence.
Just one sentence was enough to turn Merry, who was already embarrassed, into an even more awkward position.
Merry opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn’t swallow her pride. All traces of her smile vanished from her face, replaced by an unfriendly expression.
The little boy instinctively tightened his grip on Flossie’s hand, offering her some comfort with worried eyes.
Though he was young and didn’t fully understand the situation, he could sense good or bad intentions from others, especially from the older woman in front of him whose animosity was all too obvious.
However, his worry was not that the distasteful woman would target Flossie, but that Flossie might act impulsively and flip the woman over as she had done before.
Doing this would result in getting taken to the Bureau.
"What happened?"
Before the boy’s worries could become reality, a relatively mild voice suddenly spoke up.
With some confusion and surprise.
The man who spoke quickly entered their field of view. He looked around a few times, inevitably querying Flossie with his eyes, nodded at Merry, and after seeing Helen Wright, his gaze softened and he walked directly towards her.
"Benjamin Murphy." Upon seeing him, Helen’s eyes filled with an unshakeable tenderness. Her face flushed slightly when he took her hand, "It’s nothing, just a misunderstanding."
Benjamin Murphy nodded slightly, then looked at Flossie calmly. "And who is she?" he asked Helen with some confusion.
Benjamin Murphy and Helen Wright have been dating since high school, although they never announced it. They were both in their senior year and about to graduate, so they decided to reveal their relationship to their families two months ago. Since both families were wealthy, and they were considered a good match, both families agreed to their marriage, planning to have the wedding after graduation.
Having been with Helen for so many years, Benjamin obviously knew of Flossie’s existence and had seen her in pictures, but never had the opportunity to meet her in person. Hence, upon seeing her now, he found her quite different from the person in the photos and couldn’t help being curious, so he asked Helen.
