Chapter 140 

Flora always seemed so mild–mannered, but when she dropped her facade, she turned out to be a force to be reckoned with People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, and Maddie was immediately silenced by fear. 

Flora scoffed and strode out. That money alone would be enough to give Maddie a taste of her own medicine. 

Outside, Flora could still hear Maddie’s enquished screams echoing from the shop, but she felt not an ounce of sympathy.

Connor had just finished a meeting when he received a call from the person he had assigned to protect Flora.
