Although the trouble was caused by Merry Otiz, it brought no small amount of trouble to the entire Wright Family. The business of the Wright family was severely affected, but luckily, the foundation of Wright Family was relatively stable, so they managed to hang in there.
Besides, the reputation that the Wright Family had built up over the years was in danger of being ruined instantly. In high society, they had almost become the butt of the joke for many families big and small.
However, in those circles, there were about a dozen others who had experienced the same fate as Merry Otiz. There were many families treated as a laughingstock, so not all the focus fell on the Wright Family.
Still, there was indeed an impact.
Grandpa Wright was so furious that he almost kicked Helen Wright and Regan Wright out of the family home.
Flossie Wright responded in a plain tone, her expression unchanging from beginning to end.
One must swallow the fruit they sowed themselves.
If Regan Wright had not spoiled Merry Otiz excessively, she would not have gone down this path. If Merry didn’t tread this path, she wouldn’t have to bear such a miserable outcome.
The whole Wright Family wouldn’t have fallen into such a dire state.
Flossie Wright’s involvement in exposing this case could be said to have had something to do with the plight of the Wright family today, but she didn’t blame herself for it.
If she didn’t step in, somebody else definitely would have.
When Merry Otiz found out that she was being watched but acted as if it didn’t affect her at all, Flossie Wright wouldn’t show her any mercy either.
"As for Aunt Merry, whatever your thoughts may be," Rowdy Brightwill sighed softly and hesitated before urging her, "but your dad, he is the type of person who is tough outside but soft inside. After all, you are his daughter, he’s actually still protecting you."
"I know." Having pressed the last few keys, Flossie Wright asked casually, "Is there anything else?"
Rowdy Brightwill choked and couldn’t say a word for a while.
Thus, after writing the last line, Flossie Wright raised her head casually. She looked at him with a clear question in her eyes, indicating for him to speak if he had something to say.
"Oh, and you are famous among the Capital City police and the Military District," Rowdy Brightwill awkwardly scratched his nose, struggling for a topic, "several criminals mentioned your exploits. You boldly and blatantly muddled around the two groups without anyone daring to touch you. At first, the police thought they were talking nonsense until they saw the surveillance. They had no choice but to believe it. Both the police and the Military District have relayed to me that they would be happy to have you if you ever leave here."
At this point, Rowdy Brightwill scrutinized Flossie Wright for a while. But no matter what he said, Flossie Wright remained calm and collected, as if the things he was talking about had nothing to do with her.
This was a blow to his self-esteem!
Rowdy Brightwill couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He had to admit, he deliberately obtained the surveillance tapes to watch, and was in fact startled by Flossie Wright. At the same time, he was amazed by her aura. But after careful thought, he sweated cold beads in fear due to Flossie Wright.
If anyone had any doubts at that time or perhaps the two groups had confirmed Flossie Wright’s identity, then Flossie Wright might not have been able to walk out of there.
He didn’t know what Flossie Wright was thinking at the time, or how she had the courage to do what she did. When he thought about it now, the only feeling he had was of being scared after the event.
However, he was too embarrassed to reveal this to Flossie Wright.
"How did you respond?"
Flossie Wright asked leisurely, and for once it seemed like she had some interest.
Obviously, Rowdy Brightwill didn’t have a good answer.
