Chapter 183


    At noon, Flora and Kaylee decided to grab lunch together.


    Flora seldom ate in the cafeteria, but today, she found a nice spot and sat down while Kaylee went


    to get their meals.


    “Flora, it seems like May hasn’t really started writing. Should I really wait for her? What if she hasn’t


    written anything by the end of the day?” Kaylee was still worried:


    Even though it felt good to say those things at the moment, she was afraid. What would happen to


    their presentation if she didn’t write and May didn’t either?


    Flora took a bite of her pork and said, “You’ve done your part. Why worry about others? Selene is


    the team leader. If there’s a problem with the presentation, the teacher will hold her responsible


    first. She’ll be more anxious than you.”


    “But… wouldn’t that dy the finalpetition? What about the honor of ss Z?”


    Flora sighed, “Selene will figure it out. You don’t need to worry about it.”


    Seeing Flora’s calm demeanor, Kaylee gripped her fork a little tighter.


    Flora was right. She had done what she needed to do. She couldn’t keep bending over backwards


    to help. She had to stand firm. That was the only way she wouldn’t be taken advantage of.


    By the time school ended in the aftemoon, Selene still hadn’t received theplete presentation.


    Frustrated, she marched up to Kaylee, mming her hand on the desk. “What’s the meaning of


    this? Wasn’t I clear? Where’s the draft?”


    Kaylee was packing her backpack when she heard Selene, causing her to flinch.


    Remembering Flora’s words, she gathered her courage and looked Selene in the eye, “I said it


    before. I finished my part. The rest should be done by May. If there are issues with my part of the


    presentation, Ill do my best to fix them. But I won’t interfere with May’s part.”


    Having packed her things, Flora called out to her, “Kaylee, let’s go.”


    “Coming!” Kaylee grabbed her backpack and walked out with Flora.


    Selene frowned, catching a glimpse of May trying to leave. She quickly stepped in front of her. “Stop


    right there!”


    May swallowed hard. “Selene


    “Til say this only once. I need to see the draft by tomorrow morning.” Selene’s eyes were stem and


    cold. “May, don’t think I’m easygoing.” May could bully Kaylee, but she couldn’t cross Selene, who


    was a genius doctor, the precious daughter of one of the great families of Maple Grove.


    She quickly replied, “I know… I’ll write it as soon as I get home.”


    Inwardly cursing, May thought Kaylee was a jerk for not writing the rest of the speech.


    May spent all night looking up information and barely finished the draft by dawn. She didn’t even


    have time for breakfast and rushed to school.


    On her way, she bumped into Kaylee and Flora. She red at Kaylee furiously before storming off


    like a torpedo.


    Kaylee couldn’t help but cover her mouth andugh. “Flora, why do I feel so good about this?”


    She had always lived amodating others, never saying no. If it hadn’t been for Flora, she would


    have ended up doing the presentation by herself.


    “Thicken your skin, and you’ll feel even better.” Flora nced at her, a smile ying on her lips. “As


    long as I have no morals, no one can manipte me.”

    “…Flora, you say it with such conviction.” Kaylee was shocked. It was the first time she heard


    someone make such a statement sound


    so natural.


    “Because I really have no morals. Flora raised an eyebrow, leisurely finishing her statement, then


    walked into the ssroom.
