Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1339

He'd been the one to start trouble with Fiona, and after losing the fight and getting pinned by her, he was already feeling pretty humiliated. But then Mr. Trevor went ahead and tried to strong-arm Fiona into apologizing, making things even worse for him. His pride was really taking a hit! At this, Fiona glanced over at Nash, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

This was not what she'd expected at all.

Mr. Trevor, caught off guard by the scolding, was bewildered: "Nash, didn't Ms. Fiona just beat you up? Why keep bringing up such an embarrassing thing?"

Nash, his face flushed with anger, shot back, "I had it coming, so what?"

Mr. Trevor could only stand there speechless.

"Sir, Nash has a point. He got what he deserved," came a sudden, deep voice from the doorway. A man strode in confidently, his presence commanding, dressed sharply in an iron-grey suit. His expression was cool and detached, with eyes as deep and unreadable as a dark night. The room seemed to shrink under the weight of his presence.

Nash immediately calmed down upon seeing the man, lowering his head and not daring to speak further.

Mr. Trevor stood up quickly: "Mr. Woods!"

Jackson was a newcomer to Cedarvale, having only risen to prominence in the past couple of years. Initially underestimated, his steel-fisted methods quickly earned him respect and control over everyone within just half a year.

In every circle, people greeted Mr. Woods with the utmost deference.

"Director," Jackson acknowledged with a slight nod before walking past him, his eyes settling on the young woman.

Unlike the previous night at the bar, today the young woman was dressed simply, her long hair tied back, highlighting the graceful curve of her profile and her perfectly shaped shoulders. Fiona looked at him with some surprise.
