Chapter 1223: I Thought of You as a Friend (3)_1

Rowdy Brightwill simply put his hands in his pockets, took a step forward with his right foot, and stood in a relaxed posture watching him.

He was waiting for his response.

The two faced each other without yielding, the air thickening with the scent of gunpowder.

Jessie Grain and Nancy Phillips were chatting, and Flossie Wright was beside them, peeling an apple. It was a scene of peace and harmony until the tense atmosphere between the others drew their attention.

Flossie glanced up slightly as she peeled the apple, and the continuous strip of apple skin she was peeling suddenly broke off at the last bit, falling onto her thigh.

Flossie picked it up and threw it into the trash can.

Without waiting for a response from inside, the person outside pushed open the slightly ajar door and came straight in.
