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

Chapter 1881

Fiona didn't know the mother and son in front of her, but after Jane's phone call earlier, it wasn't hard to guess who they were.

Every wealthy family had the same basic rules: illegitimate kids could never truly be part of the family. They might live comfortably, but they'd never have any real power. Jane, though, was different. Her mother's family was powerful, so even though Jane wasn't a man, she could still inherit the Kidd family business. In these circles, it was all about talent and bloodline-not gender.

But there were always people looking for shortcuts, like the pair standing here now. Ever since Jane's father went to prison, their status in the Kidd family had tanked. When he'd been around, they'd enjoyed all the perks, but now? No one paid attention to them. Even the servants probably just tolerated them. Jane, on the other hand, had her grandfather's support and was the Kidd family's next heir. Her future looked brighter than ever.

Fiona had no interest in dealing with these two. She glanced at the time—it was almost 7:30. She needed to meet Nash. Without another word, she turned to leave.

The woman noticed and quickly nudged her son, urging him to block Fiona's way. Then, raising her voice and waving her arms, she started drawing attention from the crowd.
