Here we go!
Flora was just about to step into the Medical Hall, her foot hovering over the threshold when—
"Hold it right there!"
Sydney's sharp voice cut through the tension as she moved swiftly to block Flora's path.
Jonathan's face turned grim. He was right there, and yet Sydney had the nerve to stop Flora again. Did she not realize he was standing right there? How on earth did Kenneth end up engaged to someone like her?

Sydney locked eyes with Flora, her words dropping like stones: "Is a thief!"
"You're the thief here!" Jacob shouted, outraged. First, they were barred from entering, and now they're calling Flora a thief? Did they think they were just easy targets?

If Flora wanted something like that, all it would take was a word to the boss, and she'd have a whole stash.

"Flora, dare you show it?" Sydney lifted her chin, dead certain she'd seen the medallion peeking from Flora's pocket.
Though how it ended up with Flora was a mystery, its presence there could only mean one thing: she stole it!
"What medallion nonsense? Flora doesn't have it!" Jacob bellowed.
Flora stayed cool as a cucumber: "The medallion, I have it."
Jacob: "......"
