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

Chapter 1556

Fiona wasn't even slightly interested in the gossip swirling around her. Honestly, she couldn't care less, and arguing about it felt like a total waste of time. She figured she'd be better off focusing on how to get a good night's sleep instead.

After dropping Fiona and Nash off at school, Jackson headed back to the office. Sifting through a stack of proposals, he casually picked out a nondescript one and tossed it to his assistant. "Just go ahead and acquire it," he said, with the kind of cool authority that left no room for discussion.

His assistant didn't linger, nodding quickly before rushing off to get the job done. Jackson wasn't often seen this riled up. He swiftly made a call to acquire all of Janet's family assets.
