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

Upon our first meeting, I could tell she was a good person, unlike the rumors I'd heard. That's why she decided to come this time. But she hadn't anticipated it turning out like this. She didn't blindly believe Abbey's words, but she was somewhat shaken. After all, she trusted Abbey, whom she had known for years, more than Flora, whom she had only met once.

"Abbey, do you just make up lies whenever it suits you? Your mouth is as foul as if you've been eating garbage," Kruz glared at her. "Do you dare swear on your heart that Flora said those things? Don't think you can just make up stories because these are your people." His mom already had a poor impression of Flora, and now Abbey was causing even more trouble!

Adrian also seemed utterly convinced of Flora's innocence. He and Abbey weren't very close, just younger family members who occasionally crossed paths at gatherings. Abbey had always been the child other parents boasted about, and his father had often praised her, but he had no good impression of her. Seeing her targeting Flora only made him dislike her more.

"Ms. Abbey, spreading lies is a bad habit. Keep it up, and you might end up with a son who's quite the troublemaker!"

They were all heirs of powerful families and never minced their words. Kruz wanted to defend Flora further but was silenced by a stern look from Amanda. Abbey's face turned from pale to green, yet she was unable to express her rage and could only curse in her heart. Flora really was something, having only been on Lone Island for a couple of days, and already Kruz was on her side, even the young Mr. Reyes was protecting her.

"I'm not making this up, Flora... never mind, let's drop it." Knowing she couldn't win against Kruz and Adrian, she turned her accusation towards Flora: "But I will say this, Flora, you better stop here. No matter how much you fuss, I won't help you change your grade. You're only going to ruin yourself."

Mr. Tanner was so angry he felt dizzy, nearly spitting out blood in frustration. Only now did he understand the feeling of being utterly defenseless.

"Don't get too worked up, take care of yourself." Seeing him about to pass out, Flora extended a hand and gently patted his back in a rather casual manner.

Mr. Tanner almost choked on his own frustration, thinking, my ancestors, what a time to be calm, do you not realize the danger you're in?

Abbey looked at Amanda and continued, "Aunt, please, let me handle this. You should go back."

Only if Amanda left could she find a way to drive Flora out of Lone

Island.

As soon as Abbey finished speaking, a burst of childish laughter filled the room. "Ha-ha-ha... Ha-ha-ha..." The laughter echoed eerily in the office. "Nina!" Elio called out, clearly annoyed. Right after he spoke, a child emerged from behind a bookcase. Abbey's face changed drastically at the sight of her.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

When had Nina hidden there? And

bel.r

how much of their conversation had she heard? Flora, surprised to see Nina as well, thought about how the girl always appeared so unexpectedly on the island and simply let it go. This child. She always seemed extraordinary.

"Daddy..." "Didn't I tell you not to wander off? And you deliberately came here." Elio tried to put on a stern face, intending to scare her. This little one was becoming more and more unruly.

Nina pouted and hid behind Ethan. Her big, twinkling eyes seemed to say, it's your turn, sister. You asked me to come here; you have to help me.

Ethan's gaze flickered, seemingly asking casually, "Nina, what were you laughing at just now?"

"I was laughing at her-" Nina raised her chubby little hand, pointing at Abbey, and laughed again: "She's so fake."
