In the car.
"The Jones family is way too full of themselves. Karter was so mad he could hardly eat!" Kruz vented, then sighed, "But honestly, when it comes to the Reyes going up against the Jones, it's a losing battle..."
"Karter really cares about the Reyes racing team. If it falls apart, that would be a real shame..."
Flora listened quietly, her fingers tapping lightly on her lap, lost in thought.
...
The news of the Jones provoking the Reyes and then retreating like whipped dogs spread like wildfire across Lone Island. Everyone knew about the long-standing feud between the Jones and the Reyes and disapproved of the Jones' antics. Seeing them humiliated brought a lot of joy, and folks were openly mocking them.
When Zachary caught wind of the ridicule, he was livid.
"Bryce, I want you to crawl and beg for forgiveness!"
Today might have been Connor's lucky break, but the Reyes won't always have luck on their side.
At the upcoming race, Zachary planned to pay back today's embarrassment tenfold!
And that woman...
She was a piece of work too! If she hadn't spoken up, Connor wouldn't have touched him. Everyone talks about how much Connor dotes on her, but there's always a limit. When that day comes, she'll regret crossing him!
...
The next morning.
Flora woke up and headed downstairs, glancing around and not spotting Raul. Curious, she asked Henrik, who was sitting next to Ethan, "Hey, where's Dad?"
"Dad left early, said he was heading to see Karter."
"Oh," Flora nodded.
"Come on, grab some breakfast."
Connor emerged from the kitchen, balancing milk and breakfast in his hands.
Flora made her way to the dining table and sat down.
