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

"What's the deal?" His eyes stayed glued to Flora, but the question was aimed at Moss.

Moss was about to answer when Elijah, sprawled on the ground, started shouting first: "Mr. Connor, it's her! This woman tried to ruin Miss Abbey's hands and then beat me up! Miss Abbey is the top surgeon in the world, and Flora deliberately hurt her hands. How malicious can she be?"

Hearing this, Connor turned his cold gaze to Abbey. Abbey, feigning innocence, raised her hand, revealing a bruised wrist.

Flora had actually been quite rough; the bruises on Abbey's wrist hadn't faded, serving as evidence of the assault. Connor knew how vicious Flora could be surely he wouldn't keep her around, right? Elijah continued his tirade: "Mr. Connor, maybe it's time to reconsider the people around you. Miss Abbey came all this way to see you, and not only were we refused entry, but we were also attacked!" Beck was almost amused.

The nerve of these people!

Was this really a case of the guilty party playing the victim?

Too bad for them, this wouldn't work on Ms. Flora.

His boss had zero principles when it came to Ms. Flora. It didn't matter if she hadn't actually laid a hand on Abbey and Elijah; even if Flora had attacked them, he would've handed her a stick.

Flora listened quietly to Elijah's blatant lies, then let out a cryptic laugh once she finished.

"Don't even try to deny it!" Elijah glared at her. "Are you saying the injuries on my mistress's hands and my own wounds weren't caused by you?"

"Enough, Elijah, that's enough." Abbey finally spoke when Elijah had nearly finished. "Connor, I didn't want to make a scene, but the people around you have really crossed the line. And as for Ms. Flora, for your sake, I'm willing to overlook her injuring me, but the least she could do is apologize."
