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

"Sister?"

The crowd was caught off guard.

Adam has a sister? That was news to everyone.

The McCoy family was known for having only sons for generations, not a single daughter.

Louise's expression changed the moment she saw Adam approaching.

Adam, the eldest McCoy son, was a big deal. In Cedarvale, only the Woods family could match their status.

So, what was he doing here all of a sudden?

And who here could possibly be his sister?

As everyone puzzled over this, Adam strolled right up to Fiona and casually draped an arm over her shoulder.

"Hey sis, if anyone's giving you a hard time, just let me know. I'll sort 'em out for you."

This declaration left everyone staring at the pair, completely floored.

Adam, calling Fiona his sister?! Could this be right?!

"Why are you here?" Fiona asked, looking at Adam.

"Jackson got tied up and couldn't make it, so he sent me to back you up," Adam said with a raised eyebrow. "Looks like my timing was perfect." With that, Adam glanced around, walked to the front, and casually picked up a chair with one hand, looking like he was ready for a showdown. "Alright, sit yourself down; I'll handle the rest."

He gently placed the chair under Fiona, ensuring his "sister" was comfortable.

Ever since Fiona had come to his rescue, Adam had claimed her as his sister, vowing to protect her!

Fiona gave him a look but didn't hesitate to sit down.

Adam leaned on the chair's back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd until it landed on Louise.

"You've got some guts, going after my sister," he said.

His tone was light, almost playful, but it carried a chilling edge that made everyone's skin crawl.

Louise swallowed hard, her shoulders trembling a bit. Summoning her courage, she looked at Adam and said, "Mr. Adam, you've got it wrong, I didn't..."

She assumed Fiona had spun tales

to Adam, and a quick explanation would clear things up. After all, without evidence, Adam couldn't do anything. But before she could finish, Adam cut her off.

He pulled out his phone and played a video.

"Before you deny everything, you might want to check this out."

The screen was dark, but Rosa's voice was unmistakable.

"I'm Rosa... I kidnapped Fiona, all on Louise's orders!"

"The forum drama was her doing too. When the truth came out, she made me take the fall. I'm just from a regular family, couldn't stand up to her had no choice but to comply."

"She promised me that if I took the blame, she'd smooth things over but instead got expelled... Later, she told me to kidnap Fiona, promising a big payout and to handle it all." noveldrama

The voice, shaky with sobs, laid out the whole story.

As the recording ended, the room was dead silent.

Those who had backed Louise looked at her in disbelief.

This whole mess...

Was really her doing?!

Louise's face went pale, panic rising, but she quickly tried to defend herself!

"That's not true! That's not how it happened!"
