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

Chapter 1845

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to Jackson and Fiona. "Are you two hurt? I'm on duty tonight—let me take you to the hospital so you can get checked out properly. What happened was all because my niece doesn't know any better. Please, forgive her. She's been spoiled by our family, but I promise, I'll take her home and set her straight this time."

Fiona looked up at him, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. The chief sure knew how to downplay things.

A minute ago, that brat couldn't stop calling her names like she owned the place, and now he wanted to brush it all off with a "she's just young and naive"? Did he really think she was that easy to fool?

Meanwhile, the little troublemaker-Flora-still hadn't caught on to how serious this was. She just stood there, glaring, confused about why her uncle was practically groveling to these two. She looked like she might charge at Fiona again, but one of the officers quickly stepped in and grabbed her arm.

"Flora, knock it off! Can't you tell these two aren't the type you want to mess with? Don't make this harder for the chief," the officer whispered urgently.

None of the staff had ever seen the chief rush over in the middle of the night like this. Clearly, Jackson and Fiona weren't just any ordinary people.

They all breathed a silent sigh of relief-thank god they hadn't said anything stupid earlier. If they'd gotten themselves in trouble now, there'd be no saving them.

Flora finally seemed to realize things had gotten real. She froze in place, not daring to move.
