StarNovelJoy was momentarily taken aback by Flora's outburst, but quickly regained her composure. What could Flora do about it? Both Mr. Tanner and Ms. Abbey had decided to let it go, and the higher-ups seemed to agree. Flora was on her own; what kind of trouble could she possibly cause? The room fell into an eerie silence. Just then, Shawn's voice interrupted, "Mr. Connor?" Jules looked towards the door and saw Connor stride in, with Moss and Beck trailing behind him.
"Connor." Flora's fierce demeanor melted away as she moved towards him and threw herself into his arms. His hands, calloused from work, gently caressed her back.
"Connor," Abbey approached with an overly familiar tone, "I was just about to look for you. Your mother called earlier, asking how we were and mentioned that we should go back and get married." Dr. Ray, Jules, and Shawn all frowned in unison.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat was going on? Why was Abbey talking about marrying Connor? Wasn't he Flora's fiancé? The rest of the group, including Mr. Tanner, looked equally perplexed. Although they didn't know the details of Flora and Connor's relationship, it was obvious to anyone watching that they were together. Yet, Abbey was suggesting she was the one to marry Connor, apparently with their parents' blessing.
What was Flora's role in this? Connor's expression darkened, his cold gaze locking onto Abbey.
Flora looked equally displeased.
"Yes, Mr. Connor," Elijah chimed in seizing moment. "Your mother called to say that after the medical league issues are resolved, you are to marry our Miss Abbey." "What... Mr. Connor, what's going on?" Shawn asked, frowning. It was complicated - Connor being with Flora but also entangled with another woman? No wonder Abbey had been targeting Flora.
"By the way, your mother also asked about Flora, Elijah continued, Pet carefully trying to please Abbey in front of everyone. "Don't worry, Mr. Connor, we didn't mention anything about Flora. We all understand it was a momentary lapse." She feared Connor, still feeling the sting on her face, but she needed to win Abbey's favor, especially in such a public setting where Connor couldn't retaliate.
Her words were cunningly chosen, suggesting to those unaware of the full story that Flora was a mistress. People who didn't know the full story began to view Flora with a mix of intrigue and judgment.
Joy suddenly understood why Abbey had such animosity towards Flora; Flora had stolen her fiancé.
And yet, Flora was brazen enough to play the victim! "How can this man choose Flora over Ms. Abbey? Flora isn't bad, but she's no match for Ms. Abbey."

"Typical men, always on the lookout for something on the side. Ms. Abbey is perfect, yet he's still not satisfied and has to chase after another woman." A few people began whispering among themselves, their words dripping with disdain for Flora.
They didn't doubt Abbey's words; they revered her as an infallible figure.
"Ms. Abbey, you can't just say things like that! When did my boss ever have an engagement with you?" Moss, seeing the misunderstanding spreading, quickly intervened, ".? boss has only ever loved Flora! The moment Ms. Flora turned twenty, they planned to make it official!" X
