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.

This opened a door for Yvenne, though. She skillfully painted a piece during the live stream, one that was a dead ringer for an early work she had swiped from Fiona. With H out of the picture, it was no shocker that Yvenne snagged first place.

The next day, Fiona returned to her villa only to see someone lingering by the security booth. It was Yvenne.

"Fiona, we need to talk," Yvenne said.

Fiona found it all a bit funny. She stopped short in front of Yvenne, a sly grin curling her lips. “And what exactly do we have to chat about?" she asked.

"You know I stole those designs from you for the competition. I know you're H." "So?" Fiona chuckled lightly, not even a hint of worry crossing her face.

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

Six hundred grand was nothing to sneeze at. For Yvenne, raking in that kind of cash so quickly was quite the feat.
