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

Chapter 1858

Fiona's glare was so intense that the advisor actually swallowed, fear written all over her face.

She couldn't wrap her head around it-how did a nineteen-year-old girl manage to look that terrifying? Even Amy, with all her attitude, had never been this scary. Was this what all rich heirs were like? The kind of people you couldn't help but respect and fear?

"Don't just laugh! Tell me what I'm supposed to do," she hissed, her voice shaking. "If Fiona really has proof, I'm done for. I'll lose my job-or worse, I could go to jail!"

"That sounds like your problem. What's it got to do with me?" he replied, still with that eerie, amused tone.
