Somehow, at that moment, Freddy became annoyed at himself as he did not know what to do to help Velina. Right here right now, he could tell that Velina was laughing amusedly at his ridiculous behavior earlier.
Then, Freddy let out a long sigh before he finally opened his mouth to voice his statement, "Nana is an old acquaintance of mine. Regarding how we met or what kind of relationship that the two of us have, it's not for public consumption! So, I won't say anything else here just to entertain every one of you!" After saying that, Freddy turned around and walked away from the place without caring about anyone, including Candy, that was just next to him nervously.
After all, Meryl's attitude was way too much. Not only did she want to humiliate Velina in public, but she was also indirectly exploiting him and tarnishing his reputation as a respected doctor that he built so hard all this time, in front of everyone like this.
This could not be tolerated at all!
