"So, what do you want me to do?" Merry Otiz bit her lip tightly, seeming somewhat undecided, and then, after a long pause, as if she had finally made a decision, "How about this, as long as you tell me Glenn Hutchinson’s contact number or address, I will talk to your dad and try to stop him from detaining you and forcing you into a blind date, okay?"
Flossie Wright looked at her, utterly baffled.
After all, being detained and coerced into a blind date were nothing to her.
How did Merry Otiz come up with these as bargaining chips? She not only hesitated when making a decision, but also believed so firmly that Flossie would definitely agree?
Of course, it wasn’t really Merry’s fault.
What Flossie saw as no burden at all, was quite a different situation for Merry Otiz, who held her husband as the center of her world. Flossie could behave without restraint at home, showing no respect or courtesy to Regan Wright, because he wouldn’t actually throw her out of the house. But Merry was different, she always showed deference to Regan, her feelings and interests wrapped up in their relationship in ways no one could really measure, but she dare not disobey Regan. If she tried to speak up for Flossie, it might not be a problem getting the words out, but it would likely infuriate Regan...
Regan Wright held such a huge grudge against Flossie, losing his dignity so many times in front of her, and now even his wife stepped in to talk, how could his macho pride tolerate that?
In Merry’s hopeful gaze, Flossie’s mouth twitched, then she decisively opened the door and made a gesture for Merry Otiz to leave, "Let’s go, there’s nothing for us to talk about."
Merry, who had been certain that Flossie would agree, was taken aback, even forgetting about the cold air in the room.
Was this... rejection?
Merry couldn’t believe her eyes, she couldn’t understand why Flossie didn’t even consider agreeing when such generous terms were offered.

Just saying a contact number and an address was a simple matter and wouldn’t cost Flossie any effort. Furthermore, Glenn Hutchinson was just an "ex-boyfriend" and wasn’t worth any protection.
Merry thought Flossie was simply refusing her out of spite, that’s why she didn’t want to say the contact information and address.
Now Merry offered to help Flossie out of the two situations she was facing, but Flossie didn’t seem to care, as if it wasn’t even a consideration.
However, this wasn’t at all like Flossie’s usual character...
Merry finally pulled herself together under Flossie’s cool warning gaze. She didn’t dare linger in this increasingly dim room, as if something monstrous was hiding in the dark. Even as she hurried out of the room, the disbelief in her eyes didn’t lessen a bit.
With one fewer person to worry about, Flossie glanced at Merry’s retreating figure and quickly closed the door.
The night grew darker, and the temperature in the room colder.
Flossie bundled up a few more layers and then continued gaming. A servant brought some food for dinner and snacks later, which she only ate to refuel herself in passing, and by then the food had long cooled.
Regan Wright was humane enough to let the waiting bodyguards leave around ten o’clock at night, making sure Flossie had gone to bed. The number of bodyguards outside her door was also reduced significantly.
As for Flossie, who was gaming until midnight, she didn’t really pay attention until she noticed some shadows moving stealthily in the courtyard, and then she finally became alert.
