    Jade walked out of school, brimming with confidence, dreaming of her bright future ahead.


    Suddenly, someone called her name. Jade turned around instinctively, only to be met with a harsh


    p to the face.


    Stunned, Jade had no time to react before another p came her way, along with a kick to her


    stomach.


    The woman mounted Jade, hitting her mercilessly. “You bitch! Flirting with my man! Who gave you


    the guts! I’ll kill you!”


    “Ah!” Jade struggled violently, trying to break free, but the woman’s strength was overwhelming.


    Her nearly 200–pound frame almost suffocated Jade.


    The woman’s high heels hit Jade’s soft spots, causing her immense pain, leaving her unable to


    speak.


    “You bitch! I wam you, if you get close to my man again, it won’t just be a beating”


    The woman left satisfied after half an hour of hitting and kicking Jade.


    Jade’s clothes were tom to shreds, barely covering anything. Passersby spat at her.


    “Got beaten for stealing someone’s man, serves you right!”


    “Such women deserve to be punished!”


    Jade struggled to her feet, covered herself with her torn clothes, and ran to the nearest public


    restroom.


    How did that vile woman find out about her and the deputy director?


    Trembling, Jade took out her phone to inform the deputy director. But as soon as she connected to


    the inte, a barrage of messages overwhelmed her.

    the mansion.

    the car


    Now alone, Flora wrapped her arms around Connor’s waist and buried her head in his chest.


    She whispered his name, “Connor. I did it.”


    She had sent Aaron to jail, and Connor’s legs were healed. She had did it.


    “Mhm.” Connor hummed, and Flora didn’t know if he fully grasped the meaning behind her words.


    “Don’t take those onlinements to heart. Go back and rest well; leave the rest to me.”


    His voice was deep and gentle.


    “Why should I care about what strangers say?” Flora looked up at him, her face clear and bright.


    Connor smiled softly. Right, his Flora was different from other girls.


    “Bye. Ill head off first Flora leaned up from his embrace to kiss theer of his mouth, then opened


    the car door and stepped out. Watching Flora enter the house, Connor’s smile quickly faded
