Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1772

Jane's words hit a nerve, and she slapped the makeup mirror out of Amy's hand, snatching the lipstick and slamming it onto the table. "Don't get too smug. You think I don't know how you managed to pull it off..."

Before she could spill the beans, Amy's face shifted, and she quickly clamped her hand over Jane's mouth.

"What’s gotten into you? Do you really think wrecking my stuff will make you the star at the party? Get real, Jane. You should take a long, hard look at yourself right now!"

Fiona, uninterested in their bickering, left the bathroom, changed into fresh clothes, and slung a black backpack over her shoulder before leaving the dorm.

Amy rushed after her, grabbing Fiona's hand and popping a croissant into her mouth. "Don’t spit it out. It’s delicious, and I got it just for you."

Fiona glanced at her, silent but with a clear distance in her eyes. Amy wanted to bridge that gap, but they could never go back to the early days when Fiona first landed in the States.

Fiona headed to her apartment, leaving Amy behind. Jackson was at the villa, and she didn't want them to meet. It wasn’t about disliking Amy, but Jackson was struggling with the Woods family, and she didn't want to drag him into this mess.

As she climbed the stairs, Fiona made sure Jane prepared an extra invitation for Tyler. If Josie was so eager for him to come, it was only polite to oblige.

There was more behind his plans. When Jackson and Josie had their sham engagement in the Capital, he went out of his way to keep Fiona from finding out, sneaking off to a secluded island for the event. But she found out anyway.

Back then, even though Fiona was stunning, all eyes were on Josie since she was the centerpiece of the fake engagement.

This time, even though it was Josie’s gig, Jackson wanted Fiona to steal the show. He aimed to show the world just how amazing his woman was.

As the Stonnell family’s sole heir, Jackson's status was enough to make anyone think twice. He wanted to broadcast that no matter why his parents were chased out of the States, he was back with a vengeance and power. Those who once dared to cross him should now measure their strength carefully.
