Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1568

Patricia jumped a little, startled, and turned to see the girl beside her.

"Are you out of your mind?" Patricia rolled her eyes dramatically.

For a split second, she'd thought it was Fiona who'd caught her. She had no desire to experience the fear that came with being under Fiona's thumb again.

Once they reached their destination, everyone quickly set up their easels. Fiona, with a piece of gum between her teeth, strolled around, taking in the scene. The place looked idyllic, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something dangerous lurked beneath its peaceful exterior.

"Alright, folks, we're in the wild here—so let's not wander too far, alright? That goes for students and parents," Keaton called out through a megaphone.

Fiona glanced his way and then shot Patricia a deliberate look, causing Patricia to quickly look away. Fiona got the message loud and clear.

"Nash, feel like checking out those rocks over there?" Fiona asked, giving his arm a playful nudge and flashing a teasing grin. "I bet there's a surprise waiting. Care to wager on it?"

A surprise?

Nash raised an eyebrow at Fiona, intrigued. Without another word, he confidently headed towards the rocks.

Fiona trailed after him, taking her time. Before long, she caught a glimpse of Patricia in her phone’s reflection, chatting away on a call, grinning as she hung up. Clearly, everything was falling into place smoothly; otherwise, Patricia wouldn't be looking so pleased with herself.

Fiona wasn’t keen on getting too wrapped up in this drama, but she knew the issue had to be dealt with. Letting it linger would mean sleepless nights—and lack of sleep was a beauty killer!
