Chapter 376: Copsing Despair
Florence started her new life in the Fraser family’s vi.
Things were well-prepared for her, including all daily necessities and entertainment facilities. She could
find whatever she wanted.
She also got a new phone from a brand that she had never seen before. There was no logo on it, but
its functions were far advanced than any cellphone in the market. It was just supreme.
Florence also got a new SIM card and even dumped her previous WeChat ID. She had never logged in
once.
She had changed everything into new.
She put away her old cell phone at the bottom of the box. She believed that one day, when she took it
out again, at least she wouldn’t feel the pang in her heart anymore and everything would be her
history.
Probably it would take her a short time, or probably quite a long time.
The return of the Fraser family’s daughter was blockbusting news. Florence’s parents also prepared a
grand wee home banquet for her.
It was said that all the family members outside were informed toe back.
Florence put on the evening dress that Victoria deliberately asked the designer to make for her. As a
princess, under everyone’s gaze, she took Stanford’s arm and walked down the stunning stairs.
All people in the banquet hall were looking over at her respectfully.
Walking down step by step, Florence looked at them, an indescribable feeling surging in her heart. She
felt that it was quite simr to the parties that she had attended as Ernest’s date.
At that time, when he appeared, they were also under all attendees’ gazes, bing the focus of the
scene.
“What’s wrong?” Stanford slightly tilted his head and asked in a low voice.
Florence came back to her senses, wondering why she suddenly thought about Ernest on such an
asion.
She shook her heat. “I’m alright.”
Stanford thought that she was nervous. He smiled tenderly. “It’s OK. We just want them to meet you. If
you feel uneasy, I’ll not let them bother youter.”
This banquet was held to wee Florence home and let all the family members meet her. However,
socialization would be too tiring. If Florence was unwilling to, they wouldn’t let her be bothered.
“Stanford, I’m fine. Please don’t worry.”
Florence took a deep breath. Suppressing all her thoughts that she shouldn’t have, she tried her best to
force a slight smile on her face.
She smiled gracefully and behaved elegantly.
The gorgeous evening dress on her made her look extremely beautiful.
Even she was standing next to the handsome Stanford, she didn’t look inferior at all. They even looked
quite harmonious.
When others were congratting them, they were quite envious as well.
“She was indeed the daughter of the Fraser family. She has the best temperament and appearance.”
“She’s our Fraser family’s little princess. Of course, she’s excellent.”
“From now on, she’ll be the little miss, one of the most superior women in our Fraser family.”
All the attendees were discussing in low voices, praising Florence.
When Florence was walking down from the stairs, they made a way for her and stood on both sides
respectfully, bowing at her.
They looked like courtiers greeting a princess.
Florence was a bit surprised, wondering what they were doing.
Stanford patted her on her hand and whispered, “This is the rule of our Fraser family. From now on,
you are the little miss for all of them. Nobody dares to disobey anything you say.
“Flory, from now on, you are the princess. You can do whatever you want to do, even if it’s something
absolutelywless.”
Florence’s heart hammered. It wasn’t until now did she realize what the daughter of the Fraser family
meant.
All attendees were in suits and evening dresses with excellent temperaments. None of them was
ordinary. Some of them were even influential outside. However, they were all her subordinates now,
and she could ask them to do anything she wanted.
This kind of hierarchical system was not only a general rich family but also followed the traditional
aristocratic etiquette.
However, in the current era, the Fraser family could still maintain this tradition. It meant how powerful
and capable her parents were.
Florence couldn’t imagine how powerful her family had be.
She couldn’t help wondering what kind of family she had joined.
Florence started feeling a bit nervous.
Finally, she managed to follow Stanford to step into the center of the banquet hall. After the official
introduction, the solemn atmosphere finally dissipated.
Still, Florence could feel the gazes on her all the time, which were full of respect.
“Excuse me, Mr. Stanford and Miss Florence. Little Miss, may we chat with you, please?”
Two pretty young women walked over, their faces full of friendly and fawning smiles.
Stanford didn’t answer, looking over at Florence.
Theoretical, they were the members of the Fraser family and her rtives. Although Florence wasn’t
familiar with them, she didn’t want to refuse.
Pressing her lips into a smile, she answered, “Of course.”
The two women were overjoyed. “Little Miss, my name is Theresa Fraser, and she is Susan Fraser.
Our father is the third older brother of the master. We’re both your cousins.”
Florence got to know their identities now.
She felt a bit surprised. “Well, since we are cousins, please don’t call me Little Miss. You can call my
first name directly. Or you may call me Flory.”Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
Upon hearing her words, Stanford frowned slightly in disagreement. However, he just nced at
Florence instead of saying anything else.
No matter what, as long as Florence was happy.
“Okay, Flory.”
Theresa was quite delighted. She walked forward, approaching Florence closer. Raising a ss of
wine in her hand, she proposed, “Let’s have a toast. From now on, we will be the cousins on good
terms.”
Cousins on good terms? Florence wasn’t certain, but she needed to drink the wine for being polite.
When she was about to get a ss of wine next to her, a ss of juice was pressed into her hand
before she could reach the ss.
“You can’t drink too much. You should drink juice tonight.”
Listening to the familiar words, Florence was startled as if she had gone back to the familiar scene
before.
The memory that was buried in her heart suddenly came back in her mind.
When she used to attend parties with Ernest, he was also like this. He changed the wine into the juice
for her in an overbearing manner and said that she couldn’t drink too much.
Florence’s fingers that were holding the ss were stiffened. The depression in her heart made her
nose snore.
Her heart ached.
With just a slight touch, the feeling that she loved someone but couldn’t gain his heart had defeated
her, making her copsed.
She almost tossed down the juice in a panic and made ame excuse.
“I’m not feeling quite well suddenly. Please excuse me.”
After finishing her words, she didn’t look at anyone around her. Holding the hemline of her dress, she
rushed outside the hall.
She lowered her head, afraid that others might notice her reddish eyes.
It wasn’t until now did Florence realize that no matter how much she deliberately wanted to forget, hide,
and escape, her heart had be emptier and more aching after she had escaped so far away from
him.
At the bottom of her heart, she still had hope that she wished to go back to City N and to him.
However, her brand new life was without himpletely. In such a ce far away from City N, her
hope seemed to be totally destroyed.
She and he werepletely broken up.
They cut ties with each otherpletely.
It was a kind of despair that made her copse. She was like walking in the abyss. When she went
forward, there was only a deep swamp, but there was no light at all.
There was no salvation, either.
