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

In the thick of night, his voice, deliberately softened, took on a more somber and ominous tone.

Flora could tell something was off. Connor could feel it too. Karter's expression stirred a sense of unease in him. He needed to get to the bottom of it. Anything related to Flora, he was compelled to investigate. He wouldn't allow even the slightest mishap to touch her.

Back at the White residence, Abbey stormed in, seething with rage, and began smashing everything in her room. She couldn't stand it! No way! Flora was just too good, making Abbey feel threatened... And if the situation with the Reyes family got out, her reputation would be toast! She couldn't let Flora compete in the finals! With Flora's skills, she'd definitely win and then head straight into the medical academy! After that, her achievements would leave Abbey in the dust, and her brilliance would eclipse Abbey's own. She couldn't let that happen! She was determined to make sure Flora would never hold a scalpel again!

A cold, venomous glint flashed in Abbey's eyes, reminiscent of a serpent ready to strike. Even Elijah was taken aback by her demeanor.

"Miss..."

It seemed his mistress had truly lost her grip on reality. Abbey glared at him, her words sharp and determined: "Keep tabs on Flora. The second she leaves..."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Since coming back from the Reyes family, Flora hadn't stepped out of the villa. The finals were set for five days later, giving her ample time to unwind. She spent two days lounging at home until Ethan tagged her online.

"Flora, remember the team competition I mentioned earlier..."

Flora suddenly recalled that the team match Ethan had talked about was happening tonight at eight. She checked the clock. It was exactly seven.

"Send me the game name so I can download it."

Ethan quickly sent Flora a download link. She logged into the game herself. As the competition drew near, the game world was buzzing, with messages flying across the public chat. The team chat was lively too, and when they saw Ethan log in, they greeted her warmly. **[Team] IronLifterUncle:** Hey, lil' sis Flora's here!

"Got it!"

**[Team] DirtyDuke:** Lil' sis Flora glad you made it! We thought you weren't gonna show today. This might be our last chat together.

**[Team] MillionGold:** Quit it, you're boosting them and putting us down. Who says we're gonna lose?

**[Team] ItsFloraTime:** Chill, guys. Flora's in the house now. We're not losing this time! I'm pretty awesome! Ethan typed quickly, sneaking a glance at Flora, who was stilDsetting up her account.

**[Team] IronLifterUncle:** Really? Is Flora that amazing? Can't wait to see her in action. Where is she? Get her in here! **[Team] DirtyDuke:** +1.

**[Team] MillionGold:** +1.

**[Team] StarPicker:** +10086.

Their curiosity about Flora was

through the roof. They'd heard Ethan gripe about her before, calling her a drama queen from a small town with no real skills, someone she didn't like at all. But then, out of the blue, Ethan started singing her praises, talking about how fantastic and talented she was. Naturally, they were dying to know what Flora had done to win Ethan over.

Once Flora finished downloading the game and logged in, Ethan shot her a message: "Flora, you all set?"

"All ready."

"Alright, I'm pulling you in."

The team members, waiting eagerly, saw a new notification.
