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

"Flora!"

"You really think you can stop me?"

Flora's hand, gripping the gun, slowly lifted it, aiming straight at Adrian's chest. Adrian felt his heart clench, but stubbornly, he refused to step aside. He just couldn't believe Flora would actually pull the trigger.

Even if she did, he wasn't going anywhere. His eyes locked onto Flora's, only to see her finger slowly begin to squeeze the trigger-

Her face was a mask of cold indifference, with just a flicker of hatred. In that moment, Adrian finally realized she was serious about pulling the trigger.

"Ring, ring, ring-"

Just when Adrian thought it was all over, a phone started ringing. The sound came from Flora's pocket.

Flora paused, the tension breaking as she pulled out her phone, glanced at the screen, and answered it. Whatever the caller said, it made Flora's lips curl into a chilling smile.

With a click, she ended the call, holstered the gun, and casually pulled a chair over with her foot, sitting down. The weight pressing on Adrian's chest lifted, and he exhaled in relief. Flora shot him a sidelong glance.

Ha, he had the nerve to stand in her way with such little courage. Wasn't he worried she'd actually shoot him?

Karter, too, felt a twinge of emotion. Adrian was always a bit of a wild card, never taking things seriously, yet here he was, standing in harm's way.

"Flora..." Adrian spoke softly, cautiously eyeing her. Did the phone call change her mind?

"You'd even kill your own brother, just for that damn Reyes family?"

Adrian had barely started speaking when Flora cut him off, but she wasn't talking to him. She was tapping the gun rhythmically on the armrest, her gaze shifting to Karter, icy and mocking: "You'd even kill your own brother, just for that damn Reyes family?" Then she laughed, a sound as cold as winter: "Well, let's see how the Reyes family gets wiped off the map."

Wiped off the map?

What was she planning?

The Reyes family couldn't make heads or tails of her mood swings. Moments ago, she was a storm of rage, and now she was laughing. But that laugh, it sent chills down everyone's spine.

Karter frowned slightly. "Flora..."

Suddenly, the sky roared with the sound of approaching helicopters, a fleet of them circling above the Reyes estate, like dragons on the hunt.

The helicopter doors swung open, and dozens of armed figures descended in formation, filling the courtyard in neat rows.

Leading the pack was a woman in a

sleek black outfit, similar to Flora's, but while Flora exuded a cool detachment, this woman hada striking, fiery presence.

"It's Crimson!"

"Crimson, the vice president of Club 257!"

As she drew nearer, the Reyes family members could finally make out her features, and their shock only deepened.

Why on earth was Club 257 here? Crimson was renowned worldwide, everyone knew of her, but her sudden arrival was baffling!

The Reyes family's bodyguards were

on high alert. Crimson's unexpected

arrival with such a force, landing

directly at the estate, clearly spelled trouble!

They wanted to stand and defend the Reyes family, but they were drained, barely able to speak, let alone lift a weapon.

Crimson strolled into the Reyes estate without a hitch. She glanced at the bodyguards sprawled on the ground, a disdainful click of her tongue.

Flora had dealt with them swiftly, leaving them helpless and on the ground.
