"Wait, what?" Cecelia was a bit confused, not sure why he left or locked the car door, but she nodded obediently,
“Alright.”
In less than ten minutes, Henrik was back.
He had a bag in hand.
Sliding into the driver's seat, he casually handed the bag to her.
It was a tube of ointment.
"Your face is a bit red, probably from the cold. Use this."
"Huh?"
Cecelia was even more puzzled. The redness on her face was likely from the slap her foster father had given her
earlier. It wasn't too obvious now, and she could barely notice it herself, yet Henrik had picked up on it. But...
how could he think it was from the cold?!
Plus, this ointment wasn't for frostbite!
Mr. Raul was definitely a classic guy, clueless about the basics.
Such a rich kid.

With that thought, Cecelia happily opened the ointment, which turned out to be perfect for the swelling on her
face.
Flora and Connor hit up the Golden Hotel, taking advantage of Ray's generosity yet again.
"You two are something else," Ray said, propping his head on his hand as he watched them in the private dining
room. "Free food and drinks at my place is one thing, but flaunting your relationship in front of me, too?" "You
chose to join us," Flora replied sincerely.
It was meant to be a cozy dinner for just her and Connor until Ray insisted on joining.
"Can't | cto my own restaurant's private room?" Ray retorted, annoyed. "By the way, Flora, | need two of
your sachets. Aisha hasn't been sleeping well lately; | guess the last batch wore off."
"Sure thing." Flora, enjoying shrimp that Connor had peeled for her, replied slowly, "One sachet, ten billion. Two,
twenty billion."
"Are you kidding me!" Ray was floored. "Ten billion! You're chargingten billion?! You sell them to others for
maybe three billion, but you're askingfor ten billion!"
Flora answered with a straight face, "That's why they call it taking advantage of friends."
RERB Toccoa”
He shouted, "Connor, look at your wife!"
Connor calmly poured Flora a glass of milk, "I'm watching."
Ray: "...... Damn it!"
"Been a bit tight on cash lately," Flora eyed him. "Twenty billion, take it or leave it."
Old man Jules has been burning through money like crazy recently.
"Alright," Ray chuckled in disbelief, transferring the funds. "Take it all, you little ingrate."

After all those free meals, she still had the nerve to fleece him.
Flora, content, acknowledged the payment, lazily saying, "Thanks for the support, big shot."
"Flora."
Connor suddenly leaned over, and Flora looked up to see him holding out a black card.
"No limit, spend away."
Flora smiled, accepting it.
Ray looked thoroughly disgusted.
After dinner, Connor and Flora headed back to Fhallow Bay.

On the way.
Flora got a call from the counselor.
"Flora, about Cynthia's Set
should know. I'm
by Cynthia's situation, |
think
she might be in trouble."

Flora's gaze sharpened, and her hand, which had been resting on Connor's waist, pulled back.
"Ms. Blake has been really targeting Cynthia lately, she "
The counselor shared quite a bit, and Flora listened with a blank expression before hanging up. "Something up?"
Connor noticed her shift in mood.
Flora slipped her phone into her jacket pocket, her demeanor calm but with an edge of frost: "Seems
someone's asking for trouble"
With that, she glanced at Moss, who was driving, "Take us to the University of Maple Grove."
