"Slater, how’s my wings?" Hugo asked, checking his wings in case the mild collision had damaged them.
Slater, on the other hand, dutifully checked his brother’s wings to make sure they were fine.
"As far as I know, you weren’t walking backward," Atlas remarked in his usual flat tone, staring at his brothers, who seemed overly concerned about their big, blinking wings after Patricia had bumped into Hugo’s chest.
"First Brother, there’s this thing called impact," Hugo lectured in a knowing tone. "I’m afraid the impact might hurt these wings. They’re too pretty."
Atlas, Penny, Ginnie, and even Mark couldn’t help but narrow their eyes at Hugo. No one had questioned Hugo’s preference before, but now they couldn’t help but wonder. Not that it was a problem, but still, it was a bit shocking.
"Weird," Atlas commented, shaking his head. His brothers just ignored him, focusing on the wings, while Atlas turned his attention to the person who had bumped into his brothers. "Patricia Miller."
"What—what?" Patricia raised her chin high, puffing her chest out, showing them she wasn’t afraid. "You Bennets don’t own the way, so don’t act like you do and blame others for bumping into you!"
"I didn’t blame you for bumping into Hugo," Atlas answered flatly. "Are you hearing voices in your head?"
Patricia’s face crumpled, then she smirked. "Whatever. There’s no point in arguing with people like you! Hmp!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
With that, Patricia straightened her back, planning to walk to the side and avoid them. She had come here early to stir trouble for Nina, knowing the Bennets would likely be late—like usual.
Who would have thought they’d actually be on time?
But just as Patricia thought she could leave without further conflict, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. Patricia stopped, looking back at the person who had stopped her.
"Where are you going?" Ginnie asked, tilting her head to the side. "Patricia, the reunion party hasn’t even started, but you’re leaving already."
Patricia clenched her teeth, slapping Ginnie’s hand off her shoulder. "Don’t touch me!" she yelled, facing Ginnie without an ounce of fear. "Touch me again, and I’ll show you why you don’t touch people without permission."
"Haha." Ginnie laughed, glancing at Penny. "Penny, what should I do with her?"
"Hmm. Let me think..." Penny rubbed her chin, pondering what to do with Patricia. To be honest, Penny didn’t want to deal with her anymore. Patricia had humiliated herself so many times that her entire family was suffering because of her actions.
However, it seemed Patricia was more resilient—and had a thicker face—than Penny had thought.
"What are you—what are you all planning now?!" Patricia panicked, glaring at everyone in front of her. "Are you going to bully me again?! If you don’t want me here, I’ll leave! Why don’t you just let me go?!"
"Apologize before you go," Atlas casually remarked. "To Nina."
"What?"
"Patricia, why do you think we’re here?" Ginnie sneered at Patricia, who had bullied her for years simply because Ginnie was poor and had earned her spot at the Summit School of Excellence through good grades.
