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

Flora was at her breaking point, her mind swirling with the intel Crimson had sent her. As Adrian reached out, a sharp glint flickered in her eyes. Without hesitation, she grabbed his wrist, twisted it hard, and simultaneously drove her boot into his knee! "Ouch!"

Adrian crumpled to the ground, pain searing through his hand and knee, his face turning as white as a sheet.

No one had expected Flora to suddenly go off on Adrian, so for a split second, everyone just froze.

"Flora!"

Adrian looked up at her, shocked and hurt, utterly clueless about what he had done to deserve this.

"Don't call me that!"

Flora radiated an icy aura, barely holding back the storm of fury boiling inside her.

In a flash, she whipped out a gun from her belt, pointing it straight at Adrian!

"What do you know?"

What did Adrian know about her parents' situation? Had he been playing her all along?

"Sir!"

As soon as Flora pulled out her gun, the butler's face turned serious, and the bodyguards drew their weapons, aiming them at her.

In that moment, any respect they had for Flora vanished. By pulling a gun on their young master, she had crossed a line.

"Miss..." the butler murmured, wondering if Flora had uncovered some hidden truth.

"Flora..." Adrian was in disbelief. How could she point a gun at him?Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Why? And what did she mean by her cryptic words?

"Ms. Flora! Drop the gun! Or we'll have to take action!" the bodyguards barked.

"Don't shoot!" Adrian ordered, panic gripping him at the sight of the guns, terrified someone might accidentally hurt Flora.

Even with his confusion and heartache, his first thought was to protect Flora.

He trusted that Flora wouldn't harm him!

Flora's deep, unreadable eyes stayed locked on Adrian. Once she was sure he was clueless, she pursed her lips and slowly lowered her gun.

Seeing this, the bodyguards quickly surrounded her, still wary of any sudden moves she might make.

What was going on in Ms. Flora's mind?

The butler helped Adrian up, his face a mix of emotions as he spoke to Flora, "Miss, things aren't what you think. There's been a misunderstanding. Please, calm down. Let's wait for your father to explain, alright?" Hearing this, Flora's anger only grew. She raised her gaze and fixed it on the butler, "So... you knew."

She spoke deliberately, each word carrying weight, as she aimed the gun at his forehead!

Her eyes were ablaze with rage and hatred!

"Flora, what's going on?" Adrian was almost in tears, "Can't we just sit and talk this out? Please, no more guns. It's too much!"

"Ms. Flora, we're grateful you saved our master once, but that doesn't give you a free pass!" the bodyguards shouted, guns still trained on her, "If you don't put down the gun, we'll have to act!"

If it weren't for Flora's past heroics, they would have fired on her already!

"Is that right?" Flora sneered, her voice dripping with defiance, "I'd love to see how you plan to 'handle' me."

The bodyguards were both angry and amused.

Who did Flora think she was?

Did she really believe she could walk away unscathed from this standoff?

"No one shoots! If Flora gets hurt, I'll hold you all accountable! Flora, please, calm down..." Adrian was genuinely crying now. What on earth had gotten into Flora today?
