Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1266

Rory stepped up, catching everyone off guard. He glanced at Teddy sprawled on the ground, his brow furrowed so tightly it seemed like it could snatch a fly out of the air. The lady had come all this way, only to witness such chaos.

Jacob and Carly, her friends, had nearly faced humiliation right in front of her. The thought made Rory's expression harden even more. Jacob, noticing Rory's face dark as a storm cloud, felt his knees go weak.

This is it. We're toast. Carson looks like he might just flatten us with a look!

Jacob wasn’t sure how much Rory had seen—whether he'd caught Flora in action—but he instinctively stood by her. Flora had defended them; they couldn't let her take the fall.

"Uh, Mr. Carson! It was me, really!" Jacob stammered, trying to muster courage. "If you’re gonna punish someone, it should be me!"

"I was in on it too!" Carly chimed in quickly. "We were tag-teaming!"

"Mr. Carson, just take us. We won't fight back, just don’t drag innocent folks into this!"

Rory just stood there, baffled. Did they think he was blind? He’d seen it all. Just the two of them taking down Teddy? Mixed doubles, huh? They had some nerve!

"Carson, she did it! She’s the one who messed up my hand!" Teddy growled through the pain, nearly shouting, "Arrest her, quick!"

"Don’t listen to him, Mr. Carson! He's out of his mind, babbling nonsense!" Jacob protested.

"It was her! Believe me, Mr. Carson, it was this woman!" Teddy howled. "I'm Kenneth's brother-in-law, we're on the same team!"

Why did he kick me?

"Mr. Carson!" urgent voices called out. Hawthorn and Kenneth hurried over, having heard the commotion. They’d rushed to the scene, just in time to see Rory's boot land on Teddy.

Startled, they dashed over. "Mr. Carson, what’s Teddy done to make you this mad?" Kenneth asked, trying to sound casual as he shot Teddy a glance, forcing a chuckle.

His eyes drifted to Flora. It was her—the woman from the Mortal World. How did she end up here?

"Brother-in-law, you’re finally here!" Teddy almost sobbed with relief. "It’s Flora! She’s the one who hurt me. You’ve got to arrest her!"
