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

Honestly, the dinner wasn't really about the money; everyone was more interested in the clout that came with the Kidd and Larkin families.

Jane was quite generous, always there to lend a hand or some cash when needed. As a friend, she was top-notch. But to Fiona, Jane was just a drama magnet, constantly stirring the pot without a clue about her own limitations.

"That girl next to Amy?" one of the guys hanging around Jane pointed out, nodding toward the girl sitting beside Amy. "She's a real stunner."

Fiona was indeed a showstopper, not just among the freshmen but across the whole of Center College. Few could compete with her looks.

"That's the one!" Jane's eyes nearly shot sparks. She could hardly resist the urge to storm over and put Fiona in her place. People like Fiona really got under her skin.

"Fiona's quite the looker, isn't she? That face, so fresh and delicate, like you could squeeze water from it," another chimed in.

"Yeah, imagine how wild it would be in bed with her, right?"

Laughter erupted, and even Jane cracked a smile at their banter. Whenever Fiona was the topic of some juicy gossip, Jane was all ears.

Especially now, Jane could vividly picture Fiona being overwhelmed by these guys, and she couldn't help but join in the laughter.

"Go ahead, joke all you want, but if you actually manage to take Fiona down a peg, I'll foot your bill for six whole months!"

Jane's bold offer made her the star of the moment. Everyone knew she was as good as her word, no questions asked.

Jane shot a fierce glare in Fiona's direction. Fiona turned just in time, and their eyes locked, practically sparking with tension. Even Amy noticed the weird vibe.

"Fiona, what's up? Something happen?" Amy asked quietly beside her.

Fiona pulled her gaze back, settling into her usual calm. She knew Jane wouldn't back off easily, but she wasn't worried. She didn't see Jane as a real threat-family connections or not.

In her mind, Jane couldn't even hold a candle to Shelly, let alone pose any serious danger.

"Nothing," Fiona replied softly, her expression as cool as ever.

Meanwhile, Shelly had her eye on Jane. She nudged Tyler and whispered,

"What's the deal between Jane and Fiona? Why are they at each other's throats?"

Tyler wasn't sure, but the mention of Fiona's name flipped a switch in him. He was no longer silent.

"Who's this Jane?" he asked.noveldrama

Anyone who might harm Fiona wasn't going to get off easy, especially someone with Jane's kind of clout.

Shelly was secretly thrilled that Tyler was finally talking to her, even if it was because of Fiona. It still brought a smile to her face.

Fiona didn't give Jane a second thought. She was too busy enjoying her time with Amy, Shelly, Nash, and Tyler. Together, they were quite the sight to behold.

The handsome guys and gorgeous

gals quickly grabbed the attention of everyone around. Center College had

its share of lookers, but this year's crop was something special.
