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

Candace was absolutely furious at the thought of Flora snatching her black card. In her rage, she forgot to keep up her facade of vulnerability. When she caught the surprise in Jaden's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly slipped back into her pitiful act: "Jaden,

that black card you gave me, it might have been stolen by this lady... It was your gift to me, my love!"

Jaden turned his attention to Flora. Even though he wasn't fond of Flora due to her sharp words towards Candace in the past, he couldn't believe Flora, being associated with Connor, would stoop to stealing. "Could this be a misunderstanding?"

Candace, tears brimming, said, "She bumped into me earlier, and then my card disappeared. I think she took it..."

"Ms. Flora, I can overlook you hurting Lucky and humiliating me, but that black card was a gift from Jaden. Please, could you return it?"

Candace sobbed, making sure to draw attention and sympathy from those nearby. The crowd's eyes turned disapprovingly towards Flora, as if wondering why someone so young would resort to theft.

Kruz and Adrian, who had been checking out car engines next door, heard the ruckus and rushed over, just catching Candace's accusatory remarks. They were instantly incensed.

"Accusing my sister of stealing your black card, have you lost your mind?"

"Damn it, not you again! Can't you just leave us alone? Beck, why are you standing there? Throw her out, she's disgusting!"

"On it!"

Beck had been itching to do just that, stepping forward to grab Candace and toss her out. Terrified by his intimidating demeanor, Candace quickly ducked behind Jaden.

In a small voice, she pleaded, "Ms. Flora, I know you're tough, and I'm no match for you. If it were anything else, you could have it, but that black card Jaden gave me is priceless. Please, just give it back?" "If you didn't take it, could you open your bag and show us?"

Flora's expression turned icy.

She'd already let two incidents slide, and now Candace was really pushing it.

Kruz was furious, "Are you kidding me? Blaming others for losing your stuff? Why should my sister open her bag because of you?"

"And Jaden, are you blind or just stupid? Can't you see what kind of person your girl is? Take her away and stop annoying us."

Kruz knew Jaden-one of the Neville family's potential heirs, strong enough but with a modest background, having been adopted by Nathan.

Jaden didn't truly believe FloraFrom NôvelDrama.Org.

tearful insistence, it seemed like she

wouldn't let it go until it was

resolved. Feeling helpless, he finally

said,

Flora, could you just open

bag? If nothing's there I'll apologize."

"And where do you get the nerve?" Adrian shouted, "What's my sister's status compared to yours? If she wanted black cards, she could have hundreds. Why would she want

yours?"

"It's not just any black card..." Candace said softly, "It's from Bank Luxury, with fewer than two thousand issued... It's really precious..."

The crowd gasped at this revelation.

A Bank Luxury black card explained the commotion.

"Ms. Flora if you really want a card, I can give you another, but this one's too precious. It even has ten million on it..." Candace continued

"Precious, you say?"

A slow, lazy female voice chimed in.

"Are you talking about this one?"
