"Oh, my elder sister, Flossie Wright." Helen Wright showed a faint smile on her face. After comforting Grady Wright with a pat on his head, she turned to Flossie Wright with a cheerful smile. Then, approaching with Benjamin Murphy, she softly introduced him to Flossie, "Sis, this is my boyfriend, Benjamin Murphy."
Swiftly, Benjamin Murphy reached out his hand to Flossie Wright, a customary gesture of greeting.
After glancing at him indifferently, Flossie Wright showed no intention of shaking hands.
After a few seconds, Benjamin Murphy’s expression froze slightly, almost turning as pale as Merry Otiz standing nearby.
While Benjamin Murphy has not interacted with Flossie Wright before, he’s heard about her character. Considering that it was their first meeting and he had not offended her, he thought that at least a handshake was not out of the question. He absolutely didn’t expect her to show him no courtesy at all.
No handshakes meant no handshakes, there was no room for negotiation.
"Flossie Wright, have you forgotten all the manners the Wright Family bestowed upon you?"
Merry Otiz who was standing by finally couldn’t help but speak. Looking at Flossie Wright who maintained her calm and indifferent demeanor, she was infuriated.
From the moment they met at noon until their encounter just now, Flossie Wright had not shown her a friendly face. Let alone her bad attitude, every move of hers could irritate anyone half to death.
Merry Otiz liked Benjamin Murphy very much. Young, promising, handsome, and coupled with an impeccable character and capabilities. She was highly protective of her potential son-in-law and could never stand anyone speaking ill of him. Watching Flossie Wright disrespect him now, naturally she had no intention of being polite.
They were in public, and in the absence of Regan Wright’s supervision, why should she treat Flossie Wright with kindness? For whom should she pretend?
Might as well call a spade a spade and deride Flossie Wright to her utmost.
"Our Wright Family?" Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow, looking rather amused at Merry Otiz who was steaming with anger, "Who are you to refer to as our family?"
"Flossie Wright, do not go overboard!" Merry Otiz’s face changed instantly, her eyebrows knitted together. She stared disdainfully at Flossie Wright, as if looking at some mortal enemy, "Even if you are the elder daughter, I still have a son. You don’t call the shots in the Wright Family! Just because I joined the family later than you, it doesn’t mean you can bully me at will!"
In the past, Flossie Wright always acted as the eldest daughter. Before Grady Wright was born, she bullied Helen Wright. Merry Otiz’s position in the Wright Family was also not raising drastically at the time and suffered a good amount of grievances due to Flossie’s ranks.
At that time, Flossie Wright didn’t really bother with them; she only had a disdainful attitude. But Merry Otiz held this grudge in her heart. After the birth of Grady Wright, leveraging her success in producing an heir, her status in the family skyrocketed. In the end, she even looked down upon Flossie Wright, belittled her in front of Regan Wright.
Flossie is young and straightforward. Naturally, she endured a lot of hardship from Merry Otiz, which eventually escalated their confrontations in the Wright Family. The fight went on until the day before Flossie Wright left to join the Forces, that they had a big fight.
However, as Merry Otiz was attempting to win people’s sympathy by presenting herself as the victim, Flossie Wright was thinking about how to quickly deal with these people and hurry to reunite the little boy with his dad.
With so many people passing by, she certainly didn’t have the leisure to make a spectacle of herself in public.
"Flossie, don’t mind my mom’s words. She didn’t mean it. " At this moment, Helen Wright stepped forward, trying to mediate the situation. Holding onto Merry Otiz’s wrist, she turned to Flossie and said with a smile, "That’s right, aren’t you going on an arranged date during these few days? Benjamin Murphy has a few clothing stores here, why don’t you go with him and pick some appropriate dresses."
Compared with the freaked out Merry Otiz, Helen Wright seemed exceptionally calm. After speaking, she appeared to have subtly made fun of her elder sister.
Flossie Wright was already humiliated when her engagement got called off the night before. Now, she was forced to go on those arranged dates, and even had to choose clothes from her sister’s boyfriend’s store...
Indeed, the younger generation surpasses the older.
Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes, a dangerous aura slipping past.
However, before she could retaliate, a hand suddenly wrapped around her shoulder from behind. Following that was a gentle and strong voice—
"Arranged what date?"
