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

"That's enough," Nash said curtly.

Everyone was left scratching their heads, trying to piece together what was happening, especially Patricia, who surprisingly found the courage to step forward, feeling bolstered by some newfound support.

Right then, someone shouted from the crowd, "Check out the live stream alert in the group chat!"

With a mix of curiosity and dread, everyone robotically reached for their phones. As they tuned into the live stream, the words on the screen felt like sharp jabs to their pride.

The whole fiasco had been broadcast live. Some parents, who prided themselves on their business acumen, were humiliated by the label "country bumpkins," which stripped them of their polished exteriors.

These jabs left them at a loss for words, completely flabbergasted.

"Three generations ago, who wasn't a farmer, huh?"

"So you look down on farmers? Who do these so-called city big-shots think is growing their food? Making their clothes, building their houses, manufacturing their cars? It's disgusting."

"Oh yeah, now I remember, they're from that XXX Company that's all about fashion. Well, I'm never buying their stuff again—not only is it tacky, but the quality is also rubbish."

These biting comments left the once silver-tongued individuals speechless.

Meanwhile, Twitter was blowing up. Allen had shared the video of Fiona being bullied, and it set off a firestorm, pulling more people into the fray to call out the bullies.noveldrama

Fiona stayed silent throughout, aiming directly at Patricia and those who initially turned against her, hoping to nip future school troubles in the bud.

She was determined to avoid any more drama when she returned to school.

The loudest parents now looked like deflated balloons, all their bravado completely gone.

This was a massive blow to them.

The timing couldn't be worse for their businesses, which were booming, and this backlash could seriously hurt them.

"Ahem!" Keaton cleared his throat, looking a bit awkward. "Let's just put this behind us for now. It's getting late.Let's pack up and head back to the lodge."

Keaton's words broke the tension, and everyone shuffled away, feeling deflated.

Fiona didn't have much else to say; her goals had been met.

She called out to Nash, and the two of them bumped into Jackson at the bottom

of the hill. Jackson looked none too pleased and shot a glare at Nash.

"Jackson," Nash said with a slight pout.

Jackson stepped up and called, "Fiona."

He had caught the live stream of Fiona being bullied but had been tied up with other issues, unable to step in.

"Big brother, I'm starving. I want

some roasted pork," Fiona said with

pout, linking her arm

through Jackson's, her cheeks a bit

rosy. "Let's hurry back."

As they got into the car, Patricia emerged from the shadows, her lips pressed

tight, only to be yanked away by someone.

Before she knew it, she was slapped across the face.

And it was Christina!

Christina was shaking with anger, and one slap wasn't enough. She raised her hand and slapped Patricia again, scolding her harshly, "Useless! You couldn't even handle this little

mess, you almost brought me down with you!"
