Chapter 94
Flora returned to the Irving family home, only to find Henrik visibly distressed “Flora, you’re finally back!”
Henrik felt a weight lift off his heart. “Where have you been? I couldn’t reach you on your phone.”
“Sorry… Flors apologized. “I broke my phone…
“Silly girl, you scared me to death.” Henrik said imitably. Tll just get you another one. Did anything happen to you?”
“No, just my phone got broken…
Before coming back, Flom had already freshened up. Henrik scrutinized her carefully for a while and, seeing that she was indeed alright, finally felt relieved.
“Connor couldn’t reach you and was very worried. You should call him back as soon as possible,”
Flora was taken aback. She had forgotten that she had a dinner date with Connor
“Can I borrow your phone?”
Flora took Henrik’s phone and hurriedly dialed Connor’s number. It rang only once befom connecting
From the other end came Connor’s somewhat hurried breathing. “Henrik, have you heard from Flora?”
“Connor…” Flora felt incredibly guilty.
On the other end, Connor gripped his phone tightly. “Are you home?”
“Yes.” Flora was overwhelmed with guilt. “Sorry.. I accidentally broke my phone and couldn’t contact you, so I just went home. Don’t worry, I’m fine…
“Give me twenty minutes. I’ll be right over.”
After saying that, Connor hung up.
Flora quickly changed into her lounge clothes. She also checked herself in the mirror for a while, making sure there was no hint that Connor could pick up on.
Connor was too detail–oriented. She couldn’t hide anything from him.
ty minutes later, the sound of an engine roared below, and Flom, leaning by the window, saw Connor getting out of the car.
Twenty
She ran downstairs to meet him. “Connor!” She took the initiative, throwing herself into his arms.
Connor stiffened for a moment, then his calloused hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.
“Cough…”
Henrik coughed awkwardly.
Flora’s face flushed, and she quickly got out of Connor’s embrace. She had forgotten her brother was still there!
Connor asked her, “Your phone brake?”
“Yeah!” Flora nodded, realizing Henrik must have told him.
“How did it break?”
“Just… fell and broke.”
“Where’s it?”
Flora bluffed solemnly, “Ah, I found a paradise and buried it there.”
The phone was shattered to bits. If she showed it to them, they would definitely see it had been deliberately smashed.
“Liar.” Connor mercilessly exposed her lie.
He had been unable to contact Flora all afternoon and was genuinely frightened. He checked the surveillance cameras outside the school, but coincidentally, they were down
“You stay here and take care of Flora” Henrik said. “I have to go back to the office.”
There was a pile of work waiting for him at the office. He had come back home today because Connor’s call had made him worried.
Henrik picked up his coat and left. Now, only Flora and Connor were left in the living room.
Flora wrapped her arms recklessly around his waist. “Connor, the shower gel you use is the same as mine. You smell exactly like me!”
Alright, she admitted her attempt to change the subject was quite awkward.
“After school, I was lured out by Aaron Flora said in a muffled voice, immediately feeling Connor’s breathing become erratic.

Chapter 94
“He gathered some people trying to bully me. He was going to take some inappropriate photos to threaten me. But who am I? It only took a moment to knock them all down
Flora laid everything out, briefly explaining what had happened
“Tve dealt with him
Flora could feel Connor suppressing his anger
Tve already figured out how to deal with him. You don’t need to do anything!
This time, I want to make sure
e he
never gets back on his
feet!
“Connor, do you trust me? Please, let me handle this. I hate Aaron I hate him so much I must return the pain he inflicted on me myself.” “What did he do to you?” Connor’s heart tightened, and the intense hatred emanating from Flora made even him shiver.
“He lied to me! Almost made me miss out on the best thing in my life – Your Flora said cheerfully. “And I spent so much money on him! Of course, I want it all back!”
“Alright, I won’t interfere. I’ll give you the space, but only on one condition: do not put yourself in danger.”
Aaron had to be dealt with
If Flora wanted to handle it herself, he would let her. If she couldn’t, he would step in to help her.
1 got it”
After seeing Connor off, Flora went to her room to get her spare phone and inserted the SIM card.
The first message that popped up was from Aaron, asking when she would pay him.
Flora raised an eyebrow, took a screenshot of the chat, and then transferred two hundred thousand to him.
Aaron was desperate. His resorting to such means didn’t surprise Flora. What did surprise her was that Jade would help him lure her
OUL
I had fallen into his hands so easily.
Knowing Jade as she did, it was no surprise that Jade had something on her and h
