Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1387

Jackson's voice, cool and metallic, cut through the air once more, grabbing everyone's attention. In that moment, the parents got the message loud and clear: he wanted them gone.

"We're not just hanging around, we have plenty to do, we'll be on our way!" they blurted out, scrambling to leave the room as if their pants were on fire.

Once they cleared out, the office seemed almost cavernous in its emptiness. Dr. Meraz wiped the sweat from his brow, fully grasping the power of authority; all their pleading didn't hold a candle to Jackson's mere presence.

"Alright, with everything sorted out, let's call it a day, shall we?" Dr. Meraz quickly added, "Nash, back to class with you, and Ms. Fiona, you..."

He was about to suggest Fiona return to class too, but stopped short when he caught sight of Jackson standing protectively by her side. With Jackson around, Fiona was out of his jurisdiction.

Thankfully, the immediate issue seemed resolved.

"Settled, you say?" Jackson's gaze was deep and unreadable as he echoed the words, turning to Fiona with an expression that was neither approving nor disapproving. "What do you think, kiddo?"

Fiona couldn't help but look at him, impressed by how well he seemed to get her.

The issue—

It wasn't over yet, not by a long shot.

"Mr. Garcia, did you forget something?" she directed at Dr. Meraz.

Forget something? Dr. Meraz looked baffled.

"Who took the photo, and who posted it online? Shouldn't we find out and give me some justice?"
