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

Chapter 976

The law enforcement officers rolled up to the Falcone family's place a good twenty minutes later, and the scene that greeted them was enough to make even these seasoned pros catch their breath. There was Candace, sprawled out on the ground, covered in blood and bite marks.

"Officer, this woman was causing a ruckus at the Falcone residence. Please, take her away," Ethan said, cool as a cucumber.

The officers exchanged glances, clearly skeptical. Candace didn't exactly scream troublemaker, especially not in her current state.

"Officer, it was self-defense. She barged in, and well, our dog had a go at her," Ethan explained, while the rest of the Falcone clan nodded eagerly.

The officers weren't buying it, but they also didn't want to stir the pot with the Falcones. Plus, Ethan had ties with their boss, and Candace didn't have anyone in her corner. So, they figured they'd haul her in.

"Take her," the head officer motioned, and his team moved in to take the barely conscious Candace away.

"Thanks, Officer," Ethan grinned. "I'll put in a good word with Chase for you."

The law enforcement team left in high spirits.
