Chapter 231
Jordan’s change in attitude toward Flora didn’t catch her off guard.
Rubbing her delicate, pale wrists, she leaned against the wall, her head tilted slightly as she looked
at him, speaking in a casual tone, “I think it’s pretty nice here. I don’t n on leaving yet.”
“No, no, no!” Jordan’s face went pale with fear. “Séraphine, please, have mercy on me…”
If she stayed, the folks from Club 257 and Ruby Path would definitelye down hard on the
Bryant family!
Crimson felt a wave of satisfaction at his reaction. “Ever heard the saying, ‘It’s easy to invite the
devil in but hard to send him away? You wouldn’t let us leave before, and now we’re not going
anywhere.”
“It’s all my fault. Please, I beg you, just give me a break… I’ll personally see you out of the Bryant
family. How about that?”
Now, Jordan had lost all his pride. Though he still felt a burning resentment, the thought of Flora’s
powerful backers made him desperate to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
Leaving just like this? That’d be letting him off too easily.
Crimson’s eyes flicked to a corner where a whipy, her eyelids lowering slightly. It was with that
whip that he’d almost hurt Flora.
“Bring me that whip.”
The bodyguard pointed out by Crimson looked confusedly at Jordan. Only after seeing him nod did
he go fetch the whip.
“Hit nhim.
Crimson’smand was simple, but it sent a chill down the bodyguard’s spine. To whip Jordan?
The old man would kill him for sure!
“What? You don’t want to?”
Her slightly squinted eyes sent a cold shiver through him. Crimson’s voice wasced with
displeasure.
“I…” The bodyguard couldn’t stop trembling.
A flicker of resentment passed through Jordan’s lowered eyes. He’d already humbled himself, and
yet Crimson still wanted to publicly humiliate him.
He harbored resentment but was ultimately cowed by the power behind Flora. He shot a cold nce
at the bodyguard. “Do as they say.”
Though the bodyguard was terrified, Jordan’smand left him no choice. He closed his eyes,
clenched his teeth, and the whip fell heavily on Jordan’s back.
“Are you putting on a show?” Crimson scoffed, “There’s no blood. You think we’re leaving just like
that?”
The bodyguard had no other choice but to use all his strength.
Whip after whipnded heavily! Before long, Jordan was drenched in blood, his skin torn open. The
pain left him sprawled in the muddy ground, gasping in agony, bloodied, and nowhere near his
former arrogance.
Crimson felt her anger subside somewhat. She took Flora’s hand and strode away.
Jordan, thinking of his two suffering daughters, bit his teeth and pleaded again, “Séraphine… it’s our
fault. We mistreated you, but as a healer, could you please spare my daughters…”
Flora paused for a moment, then strode out of the basement.
Jordany powerlessly on the ground, filled with regret, but it was toote for regrets.
At the Bryant family’s gate, Flora and Crimson walked out confidently, all the bodyguards showing a
look of reverence, none daring to stop them.
As soon as they stepped out of the Bryant family’s gate, a disturbance came from the sky. Flora
and Crimson instinctively looked up, only to see several helicopters circling above the Bryant
family.
“You’ve got to be kidding. Are the guys from Club 257 making such a big deal out of this?”
Crimson clicked her tongue, instinctively thinking it was Club 257’s people.
Flora thought the same, but as the helicoptersnded, they realized something was off
The emblem on the helicopters was not Club 257’s trademark symbol, but…
After a moment of contemtion, Crimson’s expression changed drastically, “It’s Ruby Path’s
people!
Why would Ruby Path’s people suddenly show up? Could it be for Flora?
Crimson became wary, shielding Flora behind her.
As the helicopter slowlynded, a group of well–trained special forces soldiers jogged out, standing
on both sides with a respectful and serious demeanor.
A man wearing a mask walked out.
The man, dressed in a sharp, tailor–made suit, strode down from thedder. The mask hid his face,
making his features indiscernible, but his dark, chilling eyes emitted waves of coldness.
At this moment, the man’s steps were somewhat disordered, his gaze locked on Flora behind
Crimson, and he walked quickly toward
her.
Crimson’s heart tightened, realizing she had guessed right. It was indeed Flora they were after.
As Crimson pondered how to protect Flora, she sighed behind her. “What are you doing!”
As Flora continued to walk forward, Crimson was shocked.
However, Flora patted her hand, signaling her to be at ease, then continued walking toward the
man.

He had a mask on, but if Flora couldn’t recognize him, it would truly mean she had lived two lives in
vain.
Connor obviously recognized her as well. Seeing her approach, the man abruptly stopped.
Flora walked toward him step by step, just like he had rushed to her countless times before. This
time, it was her turn to rush toward
him.
When she was about a meter away from the man, Flora stopped.
“Connor…” Her throat felt a bit dry, making her voice hoarse and not very pleasant to the ear.
The man’s body trembled slightly, then he extended his arms, pulling her into his embrace.
From a distance, Crimson’s eyes nearly popped out.
Holy cow… What was happening?!
From inside the helicopter, Moss and Beck, watching Connor embrace an unfamiliar woman, was
also stunned.
Connor suddenly returned to Maple Grove, and was it all for this woman?
Had him fallen for someone new?
Beck wore a frown, and although he wasn’t fond of Flora, he disliked this mysterious woman even
more.
He would rather have the master stay with Flora, who had improved herselftely. Who knew
whether this stranger had good or ill intentions?
Beck secretly decided that once they got back, he would inform Flora that Connor was out there
stirring up trouble with women!
