Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1913

Jane took the money, but it felt hot in her hand—like something she was never meant to hold.

“Jane, I just want to help you grow,” Mrs. Kidd said smoothly. “The whole Kidd family will be yours one day. There’s no harm in starting your training early.”

Honestly, if Fiona could have clapped, she would’ve. Mrs. Kidd always knew how to make even the most twisted logic sound perfectly reasonable.

Jane’s eyes were rimmed red. By accepting the five million, she knew she was letting Carson’s screw-up slide—letting him off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

“I’ll take the five million,” Jane said quietly, “but since you’re the one holding all the strings in the Kidd family, I’m pretty sure you can handle the upcoming orders without my cash.”

Mrs. Kidd narrowed her eyes, staring Jane down. “Jane, what are you really trying to say?”

Jane didn’t answer. She slipped the bank card into her pocket, not bothering to check it. She already knew there was no password—this was Mrs. Kidd’s special card, and she never bothered with stuff like that.

Mrs. Kidd was starting to get anxious. She’d seen how much Jane had grown lately—how hard she worked for the Kidd family. But Carson was still her darling, her favorite, the apple of her eye.

Her plan was simple: let Jane run the family business for now, then, when the time was right, send Carson into Kidd Group to “learn the ropes.” Eventually, Jane would let go, and Carson would take over as CEO.

It was a neat plan—if only Carson hadn’t dug himself into this mess. If not for his screw-up, Jane would’ve been left completely in the dark.
