When Connor stepped out of the car, his ears were flushed, but the gloom in his eyes had vanished, leaving him looking refreshed and invigorated. Flora, who had vowed to punish him, felt a bit wobbly on her legs.
Back at the vi, Flora crashed onto the couch to rest, while Connor headed straight to the kitchen to cook.
Eilies and Cynthia were blowing up the dorm group chat, tagging her repeatedly.
"OMG, Flora! Can you believe that Libby? using you of cheating? What a shameless piece of work!"
"Once Flora steps in, all the monsters and demonse to light. Libby is next door trashing her room right now!"
Eilies forwarded a forum post. Flora clicked on it to find an exposé about Libby, highlighted in huge, bold letters. It detailed how Libby was jealous of her ssmates, falsely used them of cheating, and revealed all her dark secrets from the past decade. Absolutely thrilling stuff.
"My God, Libby always seemed like such a good girl, but behind the scenes, she''s been like this? Started dating in middle school and even had an abortion!"
"So shameless! Just thinking about being in the same department as her makes me sick."
"I was Libby''s high school ssmate, and you have no idea. She''s way worse than this in private!"
Thements were unanimously condemning Libby. Even people who didn''t know her joined the fray, seeking attention.
Besides Libby''s own scandal, it was revealed that her father was involved in corruption and embezzlement. The police were already on their case, and if proven, it would be a massive blow to the Bryant family.
At first, the forum administrators tried to delete the post in an emergency overtime effort. But no matter what they tried, they couldn''t remove the post. Clearly, a hacker mastermind was behind it. They were powerless and eventually gave up, allowing the situation to escte.
After browsing through the posts, Flora raised an eyebrow. She intended to take action against Libby, but before she could, this post appeared... Her gazended on the busy figure in the kitchen, her lips curving into a slight smile. It had to be him; no one else could have done this.

The doorbell rang, and Flora got up to answer it. Ray stood at the door, looking carefree. Seeing Flora open the door didn''t surprise him; instead, he gave her neck a meaningful nce. "Yo, Flora, did a dog bite your neck?"
Two hickeys from Connor''s earlier bites marked Flora''s neck. Teased by Ray, Flora remained unfazed, casually flipping her hair back. "What''s with you, don''t you have your own home? Always running over here."
"Connor''s home is my home!" Ray snorted arrogantly and strode in, holding a thermos. Ray always came over on weekends, knowing that Flora would definitely be here and that Connor would be cooking. He came to scrounge up some food to take to Aisha. Connor, knowing his habits, always prepared extra.
Floray back down on the couch, ignoring the two. Ray walked into the kitchen, nced at Flora lounging on the couch, took a deep breath, and said to Connor, "Hey, I need your help with something..."
