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

Chapter 1851

Compared to the night she spent locked up, Fiona roughing her up at the night market honestly felt like nothing. She'd brought that mess on herself anyway— Fiona was just defending herself.

After just one night in jail, the once-tough girl was finally forced to think hard about the things she'd done. She hadn't been hurt, not really. As the police chief's favorite niece, the guards mostly looked out for her. But the whole night, the place echoed with screams-raw, desperate, inhuman. She was terrified out of her mind.

"Ms. Fiona, I'm sorry, I swear-I know I messed up! I was stupid, I shouldn't have crossed you. Please, please, just tell them to let me out! I'll do anything. I'll be your servant, your dog, whatever you want-just get me out of here. Please!"
