"I once overheard Mr. Battleson when he was talking to Mr. Richard, and it seemed like he mentioned you."
"Really? Are you making this up? Don't spread nonsense here." Someone nearby immediately voiced their doubts.
The woman furrowed her brows upon hearing this and continued, "Then tell me, if Mr. Battleson truly didn't feel anything for Florienna, why is Miss Thompson always targeting her? Isn't it because Charlotte thinks Florienna is pretty and is afraid Mr. Battleson might fall for her instead?"
After hearing the woman's analysis, everyone's faces lit up in realization.
However, Florienna's gaze flickered, as if she were pondering her own thoughts.
"Besides, wasn't the whole reason Charlotte got back together with Mr. Battleson back then because she had his three kids? She must have used those kids to morally blackmail him into staying with her!"
"Oh my god, I can't believe Charlotte is that kind of person!"
