Chapter 870
Just a moment ago, she was like a fierce warrior goddess, but in Connor's presence, she turned into a gentle kitten.
Right then, Kruz, Henrik, and Raul rushed over to join them.
Raul and Henrik grabbed Flora, immediately launching into a barrage of concern: "Are you trying to give us a heart attack? What would we do if something happened to you? Are you hurt? Why aren't you saying anything? Does something hurt?" "Dad, brother..." Flora's voice caught in her throat. In front of her family, her fierce demeanor melted away, revealing a lost child.
She still couldn't wrap her head around the truth...
"You... sigh!" Raul sighed deeply, gently patting Flora's head, "Silly girl, how about we head home?"
"He deserves to die," Flora muttered, her gaze sweeping over Karter and the Reyes family.
Those she looked at shivered in fear. Ms. Flora was truly intimidating!
"Flora, you've got it all wrong," Connor said, rubbing his temples in frustration.
"Impossible!"
Before Flora could respond, Crimson jumped in, "I looked into it myself; there's no way I made a mistake!" His tone was unwavering.
"How can you be so sure you didn't mess up? Maybe you got it all wrong!" Adrian shouted, fuming.
"I'm not wrong!"
"Yes, you are!"
Connor, tired of their bickering, handed the documents to Flora. "Take a look."
Flora hesitated for a moment, then took the folder from him.
It revealed that her parents had indeed died under strange circumstances, but Karter was innocent.
Flora's face went blank, and she quickly turned to Crimson.
Crimson glanced at the folder's contents, stunned. This wasn't what she'd found at all.
"At first, I was almost fooled too," Connor sighed. There was a massive scheme behind all this, with all the information altered. It took him a lot of effort to uncover the truth. "So...they really are innocent..." Crimson muttered, dumbfounded.
What was this whole mess about, then?
Turns out, the Reyes family were actually Flora's relatives. They had nearly wiped out the entire family!
"See! I told you! You were wrong!!!"
Adrian was nearly in tears, wishing he could hug Connor and call him dad! From now on, Connor was his dad! If Connor hadn't shown up, they would have been wrongfully blamed. en FindNovel
Crimson: "......"
For once, feeling a bit guilty.
"Weren't you the one who said you couldn't be wrong?"
Adrian pressed on, relentless!
Blaming Flora was out of the question, it was all Crimson's fault for not checking things properly leading Flora to misunderstand them, almost causing their downfall!

Quick to act, Crimson grabbed a member of the Reyes family. "Hey, no harm done, right? Just now, haha, it was just a joke, seeing how tough you are, how good your martial arts are! Don't take ito
seriously!"
The Reyes family member: "......"
Do you buy that?
"Flora, your parents' deaths really had nothing to do with them," Raul and Henrik chimed in, "We misunderstood them."
"Oh..."
Flora nodded, looked at Karter, paused, and said, "I'm sorry."
Karter was in shock.
Almost everyone had blamed his brother's death on him; he was used to it, but today he was proven innocent... "Flora, you owe me an apology too!" Adrian scooted closer!
Flora gave him a silent look.
Adrian immediately backed down, "No, no need. We're all family here, no need for apologies..."
"What's going on...Karter?" Ben and others were bewildered.
"Uh..." Karter stepped up and explained, "Actually, what happened earlier was just a drill, nothing serious."
Ben: "......
That explanation was quite a stretch.
