Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life (Flora and Cedarvale ) Novel

Chapter 382

The two security guards, caught off guard, quickly released her and turned away. Mr. Richard immediately averted his gaze as well, his expression dark as a storm cloud. He picked up the suit jacket from the chair and tossed it to Jillian. She hurriedly put it on, feeling utterly humiliated. As a member of the prestigious Grant family, she was used to being the center of attention. But ever since Flora came into her life, it felt like she was a rose cast into the mud, trampled repeatedly.

A sudden idea struck her, and her eyes lit up. “Mr. Garcia, there are security cameras at the school entrance. We can check the footage to see if Flora left or not. If the footage shows she never left, then she’s lying!”

Jillian was thrilled. She had been desperate for concrete evidence to prove Flora was behind everything. No matter how resourceful Flora was, she couldn’t tamper with the surveillance cameras, right?
