She took a step forward, moving towards them.
Upon seeing her approach, the two girls were so frightened their legs trembled. They were unable to run away. It was as if their legs) were nailed to the ground.
However, Flora was always one to show mercy. Since the two girls hadn’t caused her any real harm, she decided not to pursue the matter further. She walked up to them, her tone surprisingly amiable, almost negotiating. “Lend me that stick you’re holding.”
The girls were already scared stiff, not daring to move an inch. Flora simply took the stick from their hands and turned around, leisurely watching the three drenched figures struggling in the water.
Whenever one of the three was about to come out of the pool, she’d give a swing of the stick. She always controlled her strength, only intending to cause pain, not injury

Flora watched her with a smile. “Honey, men are jerks, especially the playing types. They deserve a good kick.”
“Look at you, pretty and from a good family. Why put all your eggs in one basket? That man is not worth your time.
“Ladies, why do we make it hard for each other? We’re already at a disadvantage. When we’re faced with a jerk, we should band together, not turn on each other.”
Still smiling, Flora continued, “Let’s call it even today. But if you bother me again, I won’t be so kind.”

Just as she was about to touch Flora, Flora deftly sidestepped, but unfortunately, Flora stepped on the stick on the ground and stumbled backward.
Flora quickly steadied herself, trying not to look too bad even if she fell.
But then, her back bumped into a wall of muscle.
The man wrapped his arms tightly around her. The familiar scent of mint enveloped her, and Flora turned to see Connor’s tense jaw.
“Connor!” Flora exclaimed joyfully.

Millie’s father quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her
“Daddy, it’s all Flora’s fault!” Millie sobbed, “She pushed me and my friends into the pool and hit us with a stick! Daddy, you must seek Justice for your daughter!”
Her father always doted on her, so Millie thought she would surely persuade him to punish Flora with her tears. After all, the Irving family was of no significant standing and was unworthy of fear.
However, after hearing her story, her father shouted, “Shut up!”
Walker was beside himself with rage. Of all the people Millie could have provoked, she had to mess with Connor’s fiancée.
