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

"What did you just say? Flora got a zero??"

Everyone was in shock after hearing the staff member's announcement. They knew Flora hadn't taken the test seriously and didn't expect a high score, but a zero? That was beyond belief.

"So many multiple-choice questions, and not even one correct?" someone muttered.

The staff member continued, "Ms. Flora believes there's been a mistake with her score and has requested a review. She's been taken to Ms. Abbey's office."

"I agree, there's definitely something wrong with that score!" Kruz slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face flushed with anger. He remembered how Flora had aced that ridiculous exam in Austenberg. There was no way she could score a zero now. Even if she had guessed, she should have gotten at least a couple right.

"No, I have to go help Flora," he declared, his mind racing. He suspected Abbey was behind this. He had heard about the clashes between Flora and Abbey, and how Abbey had always been jealous of Flora for winning Connor's affection. Maybe Abbey really could stoop so low.

"Calm down, you big oaf. Are you really going to trust that woman? What if Flora really did score a zero?" Ethan said, frowning.

"Then I'll eat my hat!" Kruz retorted before storming off.

After a moment, Kruz decided to follow, but in a different direction. She had someone specific in mind she needed to find.

Adrian and the others exchanged glances, then stood up and headed home. They couldn't let Flora face this injustice alone. If there was a problem with her score, they needed to uncover the truth. Of course, they didn't have the means themselves; they would need their parents' help...

Meanwhile, as soon as Kruz left, he called Connor. "Bro, there's trouble! Something's happened to Flora!"

...

At the Falcone family estate.

"Madam, there's been an incident with Ms. Flora," the butler reported urgently as he entered the room.

"What happened?" Amanda asked distractedly, practicing her calligraphy.

"The first round results of the Medical League are out, and Ms. Flora scored a zero..."

"What?" Amanda's hand jerked, and ink splattered on the paper. She frowned and put down the brush. "And then?"

A zero? She could randomly mark the answer sheet and still score higher than that.

"Ms. Flora suspects there's an issue with her score and has requested a review," the butler continued. "This event is overseen by Ms. Abbey, and I have some concerns..."

"Abbey might be a bit headstrong,

but she wouldn't resort to such

tactics in this competition," Amanda said, though her words seemed to lack conviction. She turned and left the room.

The butler watched the door close behind her and sighed. It appeared the madam wasn't going to

intervene. He was about to leavenet

"Let's go check out the event," she said with determination.

...

Mr. Tanner and his group were quickly led backstage at the Medical League by the staff.

"Take a seat," Abbey said, looking up from her desk with a haughty air as they entered. Her attitude was dripping with arrogance and disdain.

"I know why you're here. You want to review the scores, right?" she said, barely masking her annoyance.

"Yes," Mr. Tanner nodded. "We

believe there's been a mistake with Flora's score. It's impossible for her to score a zero. Perhaps there was an error in tallying the scores. We'd like to verify them."
