Flossie Wright’s escape was discovered around seven o’clock in the evening. A servant was about to bring her dinner, but no matter how much they knocked, there was no response. Initially, the servant thought Flossie was sulking because she had been locked up and didn’t think too much about it. But then a few bodyguards sensed something was wrong and decisively broke the door open.
Unexpectedly, the room was empty.
𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Flossie seemed to have silently vanished from the room, not even leaving any traces. They meticulously searched the surrounding snowfield for quite a few rounds, but didn’t find any flaws.
Regan Wright was eating at the time, and upon hearing the news, he nearly flipped the dining table. He summoned all the bodyguards to the living room, cursing at them one by one, with hardly a nice word spoken throughout.
Luckily, Merry Otiz, Helen Wright, and Grady Wright arrived at the right time. Seeing Regan so furious, they told the whole story of their encounter with Flossie outside, particularly emphasizing on their encounter with Glenn Hutchinson.
They had not yet left the Shopping Centre when a Young Master from the Chu Clan stopped them. He directly informed them to terminate the contract with Benjamin Murphy, stating they would no longer cooperate with any of his shops in the Shopping Centre. He even returned the penalty for breaking the contract on the spot, almost making Merry cry. Benjamin Murphy is still trying to negotiate in the Shopping Centre at this moment.
On their return, Merry exaggerated the story, expertly avoiding mention of any occurrence that could offend Glenn Hutchinson, instead heaping all the blame on Flossie. He accused her of jealous rage and immaturity for aligning herself with Glenn Hutchinson, without care for the well-being of the family. He scorned her for ruthlessly severing the family’s financial prospects, claiming she was devoid of any filial piety.
Regan Wright had always favored Merry and had no reason to doubt his words, so he immediately believed them without question. If Flossie had been standing in front of him at that moment and she was defenseless, he might’ve struck her then and there without a second thought.
How could he have raised such a thoughtless daughter!
Therefore, when Flossie first stepped into the living room, she was immediately met with the furious glares of Regan Wright and the others.
Taking in each contorted face, Flossie slightly raised her eyebrows, a trace of amusement glimmering in her eyes.
Such a grand show, they really did struggle for this.
"You come here!"
Seeing Flossie walk in with no change in her complexion, Regan could not suppress his raging fury. He bellowed at her, wishing he could just drag her over from the entrance.
However, Flossie, who never let others bully her, stopped on hearing his words. She casually leaned against the door and asked him lightly, "What for?"
Regan’s anger seemed to hit cotton. Flossie’s action was the icing on the cake, making him even more furious. His veins popped out and he pointed at Flossie with a nearly trembling hand.
"Flossie Wright!"
Shouting this in rage, Regan gritted his teeth. Each word was as if it was ground out from between his teeth, every syllable as cold as ice.
However, it’s a pity that always being tough with Flossie never worked.
She was there when Glenn Hutchinson had given the instructions, hearing everything loud and clear.
But she didn’t see anything amiss.
Sometimes, one should face the appropriate punishment for thoughtless speech. The saying "Loose lips sink ships" is not just talk.
For parents, their children are their biggest taboo. Glenn Hutchinson might not look much like a father, but this is his way of interacting with Young Glenn. He might be a bit harsh on him, but that does not mean others can casually hurt Young Glenn. Even Flossie, an outsider, would choose to stand with Young Glenn rather than help the "Wright Family" with whom she has little emotional attachment.
Indeed, in Flossie’s view, shutting down a few of Benjamin Murphy’s stores and giving him an economic penalty only showed that Glenn Hutchinson was showing mercy.
Rubbing her ear that bore the brunt of his outburst, Flossie casually looked at everyone glaring at her, gently turning her gaze to Regan. "Cut to the chase."
Flossie was already being polite to an extent, but Regan was so angry that he couldn’t stand her disrespect. He glanced at his bodyguards, almost shouting, "Grab her for me!"
