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

Chapter 1430

The manager escorted Jackson and Fiona to the fanciest private room, making sure to cater to their every need, clearly worried about keeping them satisfied. He only left once Jackson gave him the nod to go. Fiona watched Jackson with a playful glint in her eyes. As she eyed the array of dishes already on the table, a mischievous smile tugged at her lips. "Hey, big brother, how about peeling some shrimp for me?" Even without her asking, Jackson was already planning to help her out. He slipped on a pair of gloves and picked up a shrimp to peel. Just then, Fiona chimed in with a teasing tone, "A brother peeling shrimp for his sister, that's just how it should be, right?" Jackson paused, slightly bewildered. Was it just him, or did she have a playful edge to her words? He glanced at her briefly but shrugged it off, focusing on peeling the shrimp. His phone buzzed in his pocket, interrupting him. It was a message from his sister. He skimmed it and replied casually, "Don't bother yourself with the Neville family business."

Meanwhile, Louise had landed herself in hot water, and the Neville family was losing their cool. Too afraid to approach Jackson directly, they turned to his sister for help. Jackson had made quite the name for himself in Cedarvale recently, known for his no-nonsense attitude and fierce reputation. Everyone knew he was not to be messed with, but he always had a soft spot for his sister.

So, they tried their luck with Mrs. Woods, Ashley. But she wasn't having any of it. "Chief Lin, we have immense respect for you. But if Carla's actions endangered someone's life, why come to me? I'm not the victim here. Those who make mistakes face the music, right?" "And really, what's the point of laws if not for justice? As the police chief, you know this better than anyone." Ashley's words left Chief Lin red-faced with embarrassment.

He was feeling the strain. After all, he'd practically raised his niece, and now... it was a mess. "Chief Lin," a subordinate interrupted his thoughts, "Your sister and
