Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1620

Upon hearing Jackson's words, the room fell silent. No one dared to speak up, so they just nodded along. "There's still a week before summer break, so Fiona will head back early," Jackson said, taking Fiona's hand and leading her away from the school.

The gossip swirling around wasn't doing Fiona any favors, so Jackson figured taking her to the Woods family's estate would keep her safe from it all. "But I don't want to go to the Woods family, brother," Fiona protested, looking up at Jackson with pleading eyes. "Can we go to the Rose Palace instead?"

The Rose Palace was Jackson's usual hideaway, a place where Fiona could find some peace. "Alright," he agreed.

As they walked out of the school, whispers of disapproval followed them. Students were buzzing: how could someone with such a bad rep still have Jackson wrapped around her finger?

In the infirmary, Yvenne came to, fully aware that this incident wouldn't be easy for Fiona. Her head was pounding, and as she tried to get up, someone gently nudged her back down. "You should stay put, you've got some injuries," said Keaton, who had been keeping an eye on her, knowing her knack for design.

"No way," Keaton cut in. Yvenne belonged in Class Nineteen, and he wasn't about to let her be whisked away, especially now that her design talent was recognized.

"Keaton, you're being so controlling! How can you decide for Miss Zhang?" the female teacher insisted, taking Yvenne’s hand warmly. "Miss Zhang, Class Five is wonderful. We wouldn't let anything like this happen, and I promise to keep everyone safe."
