Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 629

"I can't stand you, and we just don't get along, but I never intended to harm you or your family. I've already pleaded with Mr. Otto for you. If you just apologize to him in person, he'll let this go," Alexa said, noting Flora's silence with a touch of uncertainty. "Flora, seriously, you can't just ignore your family's well-being, can you?"

She knew Flora cared deeply about her family and used this to provoke her.

Seeing Flora's feigned calm, Flora chuckled, "Alexa, do you think I'm that naive?"

Alexa's eyes narrowed.

"He sent you, didn't he? He needs something from me."

Alexa hadn't expected Flora to catch on so quickly.

Since Flora had figured it out, there was no point in pretending any longer. Alexa bluntly said, "Flora, I'm offering you a way out. Do you really think you can stand against Mr. Otto? Aren't you afraid of your family ending up in ruins?"

"Just swallow your pride, apologize to Mr. Otto, and this will all blow over, won't it?"

"Seems like what he wants from me isn't simple," Flora remarked, staring at her for a moment.

Even though Alexa wished Flora were dead, she now had to speak kindly to her, pressured by Hudson on her end.

"You!"

Alexa was nearly driven mad by Flora. Despite everything she said, why wouldn't Flora just cooperate?

"If you're asking for help, that's not the way to do it," Flora said, standing tall, giving Alexa a once-over before striding past her.

Back at her spot, Flora picked up her smartphone and sent a message to Crimson.

—Check on Hudson's situation.

Ten minutes later, Crimson replied: The guy's in bad shape. Looks like his wound was poisoned and he's been running a high fever for two days now, about to lose it.

Flora: Your doing?

Crimson: Not me! But I'm thrilled, don't know who did it, but I want to make them my best friend! By the way, why the sudden interest in him?
