However, that old man protected the reputations of his two sons by keeping silent and enduring nearly a year of blame for no reason.
Earlier, when he saw a woman berating and insulting a soldier, he didn’t intervene, simply because he thought of the lesson he had learned before.
Seeing how Flossie dealt with the situation so decisively, he just couldn’t hold back any longer!
Glancing at him, Flossie shrugged her shoulders, "No problem, I won’t go back on my word."
"Are you sure?"
Furrowing his brow, Christ Cartwright stared at her, as if trying to get to the bottom of it.
Without responding to him, Flossie took out the mobile phone from her body, pressed a few buttons, and then realized that, for some reason, it was turned off.
She guessed that she had drained the battery playing games the night before.
Thinking this, she put it away and looked at Christ Cartwright, "Do you have your phone with you?"
Nodding, Christ Cartwright didn’t question it and took out his phone to give to her.
Upon seeing the phone, Flossie was slightly startled.
It wasn’t a smartphone.
It was an old-fashioned flip phone.
"What, you have a problem with it?" Seeing her reaction, Christ Cartwright’s face turned rather sour, but he couldn’t help explaining, "We’re poor, we can’t afford the kind you use."
Seeing him putting the phone in his pocket, Flossie answered back and immediately snatched it from him.
Holding the phone, she flipped it open with her thumb, bowed her head slightly, yet her expression gradually grew dim.
After all, having known each other in the past, she always hoped that the people she knew would have better and better lives.
Even subconsciously thinking that they would all be doing fine.
They might not become rich or powerful, but at the very least, they could live without worries about food and clothing, peacefully, under the gentle pressure of parents and relatives to start their own families, occasionally complaining about life’s annoyances, cursing the unfair heavens, with setbacks and sorrow, but still, like everyone else, getting through life securely.
Looking at the worn-out phone in her hand, Flossie sighed inwardly, feeling a surge of emotion that she managed to conceal well.
She pressed the keys and dialed a number.
Perry Reed’s.
An icy word, tinged with impatience.
Not knowing who had annoyed him.
Thinking this, Flossie spoke up, "Me."
"Phone died?"
The question came quickly, Perry Reed’s tone clearly displeased.
"Where are you?"
Pausing for a moment, Flossie countered, "Where are you?"
"Over with them."
Knowing that "over with them" meant the Assembly Area, Flossie ignored it and said, "I’ll come over in a bit, I need a favor."
"Hmm, stirred up trouble again?"
Perry Reed’s words were laced with amusement.
Naturally, Flossie didn’t conceal it.
Erina Taylor had always been flamboyant, getting into trouble frequently, regardless of whether it was good or bad, simply driven by her preferences.
But back then, Erina Taylor had the ability to solve her problems, with a Mercenary Corps at her disposal, along with numerous connections.
Asking Perry Reed for help was extremely rare.
She had no one but him to rely on.
But Perry Reed understood her.
Without making any demands, Perry Reed simply said.
"A reporter..."
Her tone light, her words calm.
As Christ Cartwright listened to her name the reporter and the Newspaper Office, that placid gaze, the relaxed brows, the soft tone of voice, all made him inexplicably think of a person he had forgotten a long time ago.
