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

The moment the photo hit the school's online forum, it rocketed straight to the top!

"Seriously? How could Fiona even be into such an ugly guy?"

"Ugh, it's such a waste. A stunning girl like her with an old, ugly dude? Makes me sick just thinking about it."

"I know this Fiona chick, she just transferred here yesterday. Heard she's from the sticks. Country girls, not used to city life, get easily dazzled, I guess. She seemed so sweet and innocent, but turns out she's wild, going for such an old and ugly guy. If she's strapped for cash, she just needs to say so. I've got money, and taking care of her wouldn't be an issue."

The comments below were even nastier, painting Fiona as someone who used her looks for cash.

"What are they even talking about? Who posted this crap?"

The guys in class nine were livid, ready to grab a stick and go after whoever started this.

"Let me see."

Curious about their reaction, Fiona grabbed the phone from the guy next to her and checked it out. A chill flickered through her narrowed eyes.

Without a hint of emotion, she scrolled through the posts and comments. After a moment, she laughed a laugh so cold it made everyone's skin crawl.

"Well, what do you know? They say there's no smoke without fire. If Fiona hadn't done something, how'd the photo even get out?"

The girl was almost bursting with laughter, feeling a twisted sense of satisfaction. Weren't these folks just defending Fiona a moment ago? Now look at them. Fiona's just a shameless woman, a kept mistress.

"How can we in class nine be friends

with someone so shameless,

making money off her looks? Who

knows how many people have

touched her, how filthy she is "

"Bang!"

The table crashed to the floor with a heavy thud.noveldrama

swn!

Seeing Nash's furious face, the girl's words were cut off as if someone had grabbed her throat. "You wanna say that again?"

Nash stood there, hands in pockets, his sharp jawline tensed and slightly lifted in defiance. His furrowed brow showed he was in no mood for nonsense. With the Woods family being the most influential in Cedarvale, the girl didn't dare cross Nash.

She grudgingly swallowed the rest of her words.

She wouldn't bother with Fiona. A country girl making money off her looks wasn't worth her time.

"Nash, what do we do now?" Robert asked, anxious.

Who the heck spread those rumors?

"Make sure these idiots shut up. If anyone dares to let me, Nash, hear another filthy word, they'd better watch their heads." Nash's lips curled into a cold sneer, his voice cutting through the air like ice.

"Got it," Robert nodded quickly. With Nash's backing, not many at

Westbrook High would dare to

openly discuss this, though

lov

whispers would still linger.

"Fiona, what kind of mess have you gotten into?" Nash said, clearly annoyed. "Who is that guy? You need to clear this up fast."
