Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 961

Flora held the sleek black card between her fingers with a relaxed, almost indifferent air.

“This is it!” she announced.

Candace’s eyes practically bulged out of her head as she spotted the card, her voice climbing to a piercing pitch.

“That’s my card! It’s got ten million on it!”

She was practically bouncing with excitement, thrilled at the thought of catching Flora red-handed. The crowd around them, not knowing the real story, seemed convinced by Candace’s fervor and began to suspect Flora of foul play.

Jaden watched the scene unfold, brow furrowed but withholding judgment. Being Connor’s fiancée, it wasn’t beyond belief that Flora might have such a card, given Connor’s affection for her.

“Candace, don’t jump to conclusions,” Jaden advised softly. “This might not be…”

Candace’s disappointment was palpable when Jaden came to Flora’s defense. She fumed inwardly, believing Flora had somehow charmed him on their first encounter. Feigning innocence, she said, “Shuyu, that’s the card you gave me…”

Turning to Flora, she put on a show of disappointment. “Ms. Flora, I can’t believe you’d resort to this… Just give the card back, and we’ll drop the whole thing. You haven’t spent the ten million, right?”

With Flora’s reputation already in tatters, Candace aimed to come off as the bigger person in front of Jaden.

Kruz and Adrian were almost rolling their eyes at Candace’s theatrics. Flora, on the other hand, waited patiently, then turned to the manager. “Could you please bring over the card reader?”

Bank Luxury’s black cards needed a special reader, and with the high-end clientele around, nearly every shop had one on hand.

“Of course!” The manager quickly retrieved the machine from behind the counter.

Candace, clueless about the card’s prestige, wouldn’t have known what Bank Luxury was if Jaden hadn’t told her. She assumed Flora’s request was just a desperate move. Kruz and Adrian, however, knew exactly what was coming and stayed silent, ready for the reveal.
