RankNovelChapter 1031
Beside Flora stood three unmistakable figures: Connor, Moss, and Beck.
"Flora..." Cynthia's eyes welled up with tears the moment she saw Flora. She had hoped to keep Flora in the
dark, but secrets have a way of slipping out. Watching Cynthia break down like that, Flora felt a heaviness settle
in her chest. She quietly stepped over, crouching beside her, and offered a tissue, "Here, dry those tears."
"Okay..." Cynthia nodded, her voice catching in her throat.
"Eilies, fillin. What's been going on?" Flora's voice was calm, but the calmer she sounded, the more it
unnerved everyone around her.
Eilies poured out the whole story-how Blake had been tormenting Cynthia for days, and the humiliating scene
that had just unfolded. Flora listened, her eyes, cold and composed, drifting over to the trash can. Inside lay
Cynthia's thesis, trampled with dirt, beyond repair. Well then...
"Moss, Beck," she called out.

"Yes, Ms. Flora!" Moss and Beck answered in unison.
"Go get Blake."
After leaving the office, Blake was ready to head home. She hopped into her car and called Lydia, eager to brag
about her "heroic" deeds.
"Hahaha, sis, you're something else!" Lydia laughed. "You actually tossed Cynthia's paper in the trash? Man, |
wish I'd been there to see it!"
"That Flora's no angel, and her roommate's a piece of work too," Lydia grumbled, still sore over Flora
embarrassing her at Rose's Studio. "But sis, do you think messing with Cynthia might cause strouble?"
"Relax," Blake chuckled. "Cynthia's got no clout, just an average student. She can't make waves. No one's gonna
back her up."
At first, Blake was cautious, worried
Flora might stick up for Cynthia. But seeing Flora's indifference made her bolder. She amped up the bullying,
confident there'd be no repercussions.
"Great, then. Hurry home, sis-I've got something delicious waiting for you."
"Will do," Blake replied cheerfully, ending the call. She slipped her phone into her pocket and pulled out her keys
to start the car. Just as she bent to turn the ignition, she looked up
en
Standing before her were two men in black suits. The car's headlights cast a stark light on their faces, making
them look even more intimidating.
"Ah!" Blake screamed, panic rising. This was the University of Maple Grove parking lot! When did it beca
hotspot for troublemakers?!
She scrambled to roll up the windows and lock the doors, but it was too late. In a flash, one of the men was at
her window. He reached in, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her out.
Blake was petrified, begging frantically, "Please, letgo... I'm just a regular teacher, I've never done anything
wrong..."

"Save it for Ms. Flora," the man said emotionlessly, holding her firm while Beck followed behind, occasionally
giving her a nudge.
A disgrace to the profession, they thought.
Hearing "Ms. Flora," Blake felt a chill. Among her acquaintances, only Flora had that name. Could it really be her?
Back in the office, Flora sat quietly in her chair. Connor stood by her side, while Cynthia and Eilies were nearby.
Even the counselor hadn't left,
sensing this might escalate into net
something significant. Cynthia now understood why she initially hesitated to involve Flora. With
Flora's temper, once she got going, it
was indeed intimidating!
Flora said nothing, Connor remained silent, and the rest dared not utter a word. The room was filled with an
unsettling silence.
