Chapter 66
“Why are all of you standing here?” Flora was taken aback to see them all huddled together.
“Flora, who is this guy?” Dane asked, his eyes locked on Connor, winking and nudging, his tone dripping with curiosity. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
They all noticed it–the closeness between Flora and that man was undeniable.
“He’s my fiancé, Flora stated calmly.
“Fiancé!” Dane and the others were taken aback. “Flora, how old are you to have a fiancé already?”
“I’m of age,” Flora replied lightly, then introduced Dane and Kaylee to Connor, deliberately ignoring Jennifer and her group.
“Hello, I’m Connor, Flora’s fiancé. I’ve heard a lot about you all from Flora, Connor greeted them warmly, opening a bag of snacks and drinks he’d brought along. “Thank you for looking out for Flora at school. I’ve brought some beverages and snacks; please help yourselves to whatever you like.”
Jennifer, witnessing the affection between Connor and Flora, felt a surge of jealousy. However, she quickly suppressed these feelings. After she saw at the bag Connor was holding, disdain and mockery flashed in her eyes. No matter how handsome, he appeared to be just another poor boy.
He just brought snacks for a first meeting, and they were of brands she’d never even heard of. He looked like a college student, probably only with Flora for her money
Her family were far wealthier than the Irvings.
“Ha, Flora, Dane was just saying you had VIP passes, claiming they were with you. I’d like to see if you can actually produce them.” A girl lingered her gaze on Connor’s face for a moment longer than necessary before reluctantly turning away, her words laced with mockery. “What does it matter to you whether I have backstage passes or not?” Flora was genuinely puzzled by their eagerness to humiliate themselves.
“Ha, you probably don’t have them.” The girl who spoke earlier laughed loudly.
In their eyes, Flora couldn’t possibly have the tickets. They had doubted her from the start, waiting only to see her embarrassed.
“Ah.” Flora glanced at her skeptically, her demeanor nonchalant, “Well, as it turns out, I do have them.”
Class Z watched as Flora leisurely pulled out a stack of something from her bag.
They focused, and their expressions changed drastically in an instant. These were indeed backstage passes. And not just one or two, but over a dozen.
How’s this possible!
Jennifer couldn’t believe her eyes, staring hard at the stack of backstage passes in Flora’s hand.
“Oh my goodness!”
Someone couldn’t help but reach out to touch the stack of passes in Flora’s hand.
Dane immediately snapped, “Get your dirty hands off. Can you afford to ruin them?”
The person withdrew their hand, disgruntled.
“What’s the big deal? They’re just a few backstage passes.” They suppressed their shock and jealousy, sourly adding, “You’d still have to wait in a long line. Jennifer is the daughter of the event’s main sponsor. She could even get us a signed photo with Rafael.”
Just then, a man in a suit, wearing a badge, quickly approached. He scanned the crowd and then locked eyes on Jennifer and her group, rushing over with a hint of excitement.
“Ah! Devin! Devin!”
The fans in line burst into excitement upon seeing the newcomet
