Chapter 233
“I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“And how do you even know someone from Ruby Path? And you guys were…” Just thinking about what happened earlier made Crimson’s heart race almost out of her chest.
“His name’s Connor. He’s my fiancé.”
Flora’s words hung in the air, leaving a long silence on the other end.
Finally, Crimson found her voice, “Flora, you’re really something else.”
“Eh, it’s no big deal.” A voice call popped up on the screen. Flora glanced at the caller ID and said, “Gotta go. Your cousin’s calling.”
Crimson weakly waved her hand. No doubt it was about the Bryant family situation.
“Dear Flora, I’m so sorry…”
As soon as the call connected, Queen Algria’s voice, filled with guilt, came through. She had sent Flora for treatment, never expecting it to turn out like this.
Flora’s hand rested on the edge of the bathtub, silent.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make this right for you.” Queen Algria continued, “I’ve settled my debt with the Bryant family, and I’ll help you get what’s yours too.”
Flora lazily replied, “I’ve got it.”
Jenny was going to suffer.
And Luna.
The stunt she pulled with the medicine, while not fatal, would keep Luna bedridden for a good half a year. That was the price they had to
pay.
Queen Algria félt immensely guilty, apologizing repeatedly to Flora and promising to take revenge on her behalf before hanging up.
In reality, the Bryant family was already doomed without Queen Algria’s intervention. Club 257 wouldn’t let them off, neither would Connor, along with countless others wanting to avenge Flora.
The next day, Flora woke up to a text from Crimson.
The Bryant family had been annihilated. From then on, the Bryant family of Maple Grove was no more.
Jordan and his daughters had also left Maple Grove, their whereabouts unknown.
After getting ready, Flora had breakfast and headed to school. She arrived just on time, as always.
Seeing her, Kaylee was overjoyed. “Flora, you’re finally back!
She had been covering for her these past days, feeling uneasy all the while. She was scared, scared that something might have happened to Flora.
Flora smiled at her, knowing it was hard for such a good girl to lie for her. She pulled out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Kaylee. “Don’t worry, I’m back now. Have some candy to relax.”
Just as the teacher came over, Kaylee quickly took it and returned to her seat.

Selene couldn’t help but glance at Flora. She was curious about where Flora had been these past days, but she knew even if she asked, she wouldn’t get an answer, so she didn’t bother.
Selene didn’t care where Flora had gone. Her most important task was to become stronger, to let everyone know she was better than Flora!
Flora was munching on some candy when she saw Selene looking over. She took out another lollipop and asked, “Want one?”
These candies were bought by Crimson, who had stuffed several handfuls into her pockets at the time.
Selene turned her face away.
Flora smoothly put the candy back in her pocket when the girl’s open palm stretched out towards her.
Flora raised an eyebrow, glanced at Selene, who was seriously answering questions, and placed a Milky Way lollipop in her palm.
