The previous alliance between the Wright Family and the Brightwill Family was premised upon equal social status, and it was beneficial for both parties. Now that this relationship has been severed, the emergence of the Hutchinson Family was a pleasant surprise for the Wright Family.
In their familial survival, marriages are mere sacrifices for potential gains. If you happen to find someone with emotional attachments, it’s a blessing. Otherwise, you’d either continue to live a life of pretense or you keep some shady businesses on the side. After all, one has to live, and nobody has the right to interfere with another’s life.
This is merely a norm for them.
Just as how death and war used to be norms for Erina Taylor.
Different worlds have different ways of living.
"I was just asking."
Regan Wright’s expression darkened slightly. Some embarrassment was unavoidable; thus, he responded with indifference.

However, Flossie Wright swiftly interposed with an indifferent tone, "We broke up."
The careless intonation, the way she didn’t seem to take anything to heart in her looks. It seemed like a casual comment, but the weight of the words was heavy.
At this moment, not only Regan Wright, even Helen Wright and Merry Otiz’s faces changed. They looked at each other, taking in each other’s surprise as if it was somewhat incredible, somewhat unbelievable.
Broke up...?
Just a few hours ago, when they met Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson at the Shopping Centre, they were inseparable. Flossie not only got along well with the child, but even when facing them, she put on a united front with Glenn Hutchinson. Little did they know she wouldn’t help her own family. But this confirmed Flossie and Glenn’s good relationship.
But, with such a good relationship, how could they...
Have broken up?
They wouldn’t believe it, even if you killed them!
"What happened?" Regan Wright furrowed his brows, hurriedly asking.
Even though she said, "we broke up," it only proves that Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson were indeed together. If they had never been together, then it would be fine. But since they had been...
That truly was a shame.
"Just playing around," Flossie Wright casually said with a straight face, seeming sincere. She lazily raised her eyes, then turned to look at Merry Otiz and Helen Wright with a hint of laughter, her words slightly cold, "Apparently, he didn’t want to be related to certain people, so he dumped me."
She spoke indifferent words that revealed none of the typical emotions of being ’dumped’, as if she were indeed just "playing" with Glenn Hutchinson. Observers would know there is much more to the story, but most people would consider such romantic issues taboo and strictly forbid others from discussing them. Yet Flossie’s reaction...
It was quite direct, which only added to the confusion and made people speculate more.
So, was what she said true or false?
Flossie remained calm on her end, but Helen Wright and Merry Otiz were getting worried. If Flossie broke up with Glenn Hutchinson because of them, causing the Wright family to lose the support of a powerful ally, they would undoubtedly face severe punishment.
Immediately, Regan Wright’s face fell, "Just playing around? Were you two in a relationship? What’s the relationship now?"
"Oh?" Flossie raised her eyebrow, then slowly took a sip of tea. The mist rising obscurely made her exquisite face appear even more mysterious and unfathomable. With a smile on her lips, she said, "I didn’t realize you were into gossip."
