Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 1031

Beside Flora stood three unmistakable figures: Connor, Moss, and Beck.

"Flora..." Cynthia's eyes welled up with tears the moment she saw Flora. She had hoped to keep Flora in the dark, but secrets have a way of slipping out. Watching Cynthia break down like that, Flora felt a heaviness settle in her chest. She quietly stepped over, crouching beside her, and offered a tissue, "Here, dry those tears."

"Okay..." Cynthia nodded, her voice catching in her throat.

"Eilies, fill me in. What's been going on?" Flora's voice was calm, but the calmer she sounded, the more it unnerved everyone around her.

Eilies poured out the whole story-how Blake had been tormenting Cynthia for days, and the humiliating scene that had just unfolded. Flora listened, her eyes, cold and composed, drifting over to the trash can. Inside lay Cynthia's thesis, trampled with dirt, beyond repair. Well then...

"Moss, Beck," she called out.

"Yes, Ms. Flora!" Moss and Beck answered in unison.

"Go get Blake."

...

After leaving the office, Blake was ready to head home. She hopped into her car and called Lydia, eager to brag about her "heroic" deeds.

"Hahaha, sis, you're something else!" Lydia laughed. "You actually tossed Cynthia's paper in the trash? Man, I wish I'd been there to see it!"

"That Flora's no angel, and her roommate's a piece of work too," Lydia grumbled, still sore over Flora embarrassing her at Rose's Studio. "But sis, do you think messing with Cynthia might cause some trouble?"

"Relax," Blake chuckled. "Cynthia's got no clout, just an average student. She can't make waves. No one's gonna back her up."

At first, Blake was cautious, worried

Flora might stick up for Cynthia. But seeing Flora's indifference made her bolder. She amped up the bullying, confident there'd be no repercussions.

"Great, then. Hurry home, sis-I've got something delicious waiting for you."

"Will do," Blake replied cheerfully, ending the call. She slipped her phone into her pocket and pulled out her keys to start the car. Just as she bent to turn the ignition, she looked up

Standing before her were two men in black suits. The car's headlights cast a stark light on their faces, making them look even more intimidating.

"Ah!" Blake screamed, panic rising. This was the University of Maple Grove parking lot! When did it become a hotspot for troublemakers?!

She scrambled to roll up the windows and lock the doors, but it was too late. In a flash, one of the men was at her window. He reached in, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her out.

Blake was petrified, begging frantically, "Please, let me go... I'm just a regular teacher, I've never done anything wrong..."

"Save it for Ms. Flora," the man said emotionlessly, holding her firm while Beck followed behind, occasionally giving her a nudge.

A disgrace to the profession, they thought.

Hearing "Ms. Flora," Blake felt a chill. Among her acquaintances, only Flora had that name. Could it really be her?

Back in the office, Flora sat quietly in her chair. Connor stood by her side, while Cynthia and Eilies were nearby. Even the counselor hadn't left,

sensing this might escalate into net

something significant. Cynthia now understood why she initially hesitated to involve Flora. With

Flora's temper, once she got going, it

was indeed intimidating!

Flora said nothing, Connor remained silent, and the rest dared not utter a word. The room was filled with an unsettling silence.
