Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 832

"Connor, you! You!" Tommy was so furious as he watched the White family's home turn into a blazing inferno that he nearly fainted. He pointed at Connor, but words failed him.

"Seal the entrance," Connor ordered coldly. "If Abbey won't come out, then she never will."

"Connor!" Tommy finally grasped what Connor was up to. He had thought the fire was just to scare Abbey out, never imagining Connor meant to actually burn her alive.

Tommy wanted to intervene, but he was soaked in gasoline and couldn't risk getting close. All he could do was watch helplessly, heart pounding.

"Call the chairman!" he shouted. On Lone Island, there was a chairman overseeing the major families. Rarely did he step into the limelight, yet his influence was undeniable. Only he could possibly rein in Connor's madness now.

Servants from the White family fled one after another, while Connor stood by, cold and unmoved. Abbey couldn't hold out any longer. The flames were overwhelming—staying meant certain death, either by fire or smoke.

She bolted from her room, but the moment she stepped outside the villa, there was a deafening bang. A shot landed right by her feet, sparking an explosion.

Abbey stumbled back in terror. The fire raged behind her, with Connor blocking her path. She'd never seen him so menacing, standing there with a gun, casually toying with the trigger.

He was always the cool and detached type, but now he seemed like a demon from hell, his eyes filled with a deadly intent. He wanted her gone for good.

The fire roared louder, smoke thickening. Abbey knew she had to escape or she wouldn't make it. Desperation for survival overtook her fear of Connor, and she tried to make a run for it again.
