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

Chapter 1629

Fiona really didn't feel like attending the live broadcast event, so she decided to pull out of the selection process altogether. The producers, who were banking on her newfound fame, must have been pretty frustrated to see their plans take a nosedive.

"Here's six hundred thousand dollars. No strings attached-it's all my savings. I want you to drop out of the designer competition."
