Hugo Combs fell silent.
Throughout the entire class reunion, he seemed quite out of sorts, and even the flattery of others failed to put a smile on his face.
The spotlight had been stolen by Carson Flores!
As soon as Samantha Tate played the video, the brightest stars of the reunion naturally became Carson Flores and Samantha Tate, a pair composed of a dominant male and the class flower—rich, beautiful, and popular, they were naturally the envy and the focus of adulation.
Hugo Combs knew clearly that no matter how much he boasted, he couldn't outshine Carson Flores. In fact, he might even end up looking like a clown.
Fletcher Reid noticed the silent Hugo Combs, walked over, patted his shoulder, and advised, "Let it be. Why pine for one flower when there are plenty of flowers out there? Carson Flores is too strong; we just can't compare. Lighten up."
