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

Chapter 1951

Esther stood there, completely mortified, glaring daggers at Fiona as she walked away.

But honestly? Esther knew this was a win for her.

The more Fiona acted all high and mighty in front of everyone, the more people would end up hating her. And that just made Esther look like the good guy-the one everyone could root for.

She couldn't help but smirk as she turned and headed back to her seat.

This was the final round. Even if she didn't take first place, Fiona's reputation was already in the gutter. No one would see her the same way again.

At this point, winning didn't matter as much.

"Why doesn't this woman just disappear? She's disgusting!"

"Esther tried to be nice, and Fiona treats her like this? Just because she's from the Stonnell family, she thinks she's better than us? If you're so special, stop taking our money!"

"Unbelievable. Is no one going to put her in her place? Must be nice having money-she gets away with everything. Country M better win this round! Someone needs to knock her down a peg."
