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

Chapter 1223

Why is Flora, who's clearly living in the Mortal World, so incredibly strong? And why does FUND practically bend over backward for her? Well, it's simple-she's the boss lady of FUND!

"Flora, no... My lady, I've messed up. We should've never crossed you. Please, spare me and the Schuler family!" Brandon was on his knees, practically groveling at Flora's feet. It finally hit him just how badly he had miscalculated. Trying to mess with the woman who runs FUND? What was he thinking?

Flora stayed silent. She wasn't one to play the saint, especially for someone who tried to take her out. Plus, Jacob and Carly had been there too, and Brandon's guys nearly hurt them.

"My lady, are you going to plead for them?" Jonathan asked, eyeing her carefully.

"Are you kidding me?" Flora turned away, shooting him a glance that could freeze water. Jonathan let out a nervous laugh. He had genuinely feared Flora might go all soft-hearted. If that happened, he thought, she really wouldn't be a match for the boss.

"Do what you need to do. I trust your judgment," Flora said, then spun on her heel and walked out, with Jonathan scrambling to keep up. Brandon just crumbled, totally defeated.

Flora took a quick stroll and then headed back to the main hall. The big shots were chatting with Connor but clammed up the moment Flora walked in. With Connor around, they didn't dare disrespect her, yet it was obvious they weren't fans of hers, thinking she wasn't good enough for Connor.
