Chapter 148
Jade walked out of school, brimming with confidence, dreaming of her bright future ahead.
Suddenly, someone called her name. Jade turned around instinctively, only to be met with a harsh slap to the face.
Stunned, Jade had no time to react before another slap came her way, along with a kick to her stomach.
The woman mounted Jade, hitting her mercilessly. “You bitch! Flirting with my man! Who gave you the guts! I’ll kill you!”
“Ah!” Jade struggled violently, trying to break free, but the woman’s strength was overwhelming. Her nearly 200–pound frame almost suffocated Jade.
The woman’s high heels hit Jade’s soft spots, causing her immense pain, leaving her unable to speak.
“You bitch! I wam you, if you get close to my man again, it won’t just be a beating”
The woman left satisfied after half an hour of hitting and kicking Jade.
Jade’s clothes were tom to shreds, barely covering anything. Passersby spat at her.
“Got beaten for stealing someone’s man, serves you right!”
“Such women deserve to be punished!”
Jade struggled to her feet, covered herself with her torn clothes, and ran to the nearest public restroom.
How did that vile woman find out about her and the deputy director?
Trembling, Jade took out her phone to inform the deputy director. But as soon as she connected to the internet, a barrage of messages overwhelmed her.
[So, she’s the shameless one. How could she boast about being a model teacher for ten years.]
[All mistresses should die. Folks, I’ve found out her name is Jade, living in Cedarvale. Anyone up for a sulfuric acid welcome?]
Terrified, Jade.could hardly hold onto her phone.
The last message was from her mother. [The Gilliam family does not acknowledge a disgraceful daughter like you. Don’t bother coming home. We’ve thrown all your belongings to the dump.]
Connor, Raul, and Henrik escorted Flare back to the Irving family estate. The car stopped in front of the mansion.
Noticing that Flora and Connor seemed to have more to say, Raul and Henrik went into the house first. Moss and Beck also tactfully left
the car
Now alone, Flora wrapped her arms around Connor’s waist and buried her head in his chest.
She whispered his name, “Connor. I did it.”
She had sent Aaron to jail, and Connor’s legs were healed. She had did it.
“Mhm.” Connor hummed, and Flora didn’t know if he fully grasped the meaning behind her words.
“Don’t take those online comments to heart. Go back and rest well; leave the rest to me.”
His voice was deep and gentle.
“Why should I care about what strangers say?” Flora looked up at him, her face clear and bright.
Connor smiled softly. Right, his Flora was different from other girls.
“Bye. Ill head off first Flora leaned up from his embrace to kiss the comer of his mouth, then opened the car door and stepped out. Watching Flora enter the house, Connor’s smile quickly faded
Moss and Beck approached, “Sir, we’ve already sent Yvonne back to the Brimer family.”
