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

She always thought Tyler was easy to handle, but she never imagined he'd grow into such an ungrateful brat! If she'd known, she might've put an end to it right from the start. They wouldn't have bothered coming to claim him if it weren't for seeing Tyler's name in the newspaper, topping the list at Westbrook High School. The article clearly mentioned that Tyler might become the next valedictorian, just like Flora from two decades ago.

Such an honor could bring them endless prestige, yet this ungrateful kid was totally clueless. Even though they were blood relatives, it felt like they were enemies! It was infuriating.

"Please, watch your language. This is your family business, and as an outsider, it's not really my place to step in. But as Tyler's homeroom teacher, I do have the right to understand and help manage his situation," Keaton said with a calm smile.

He always seemed so composed and approachable. "You've come here today, seen him, and said your piece, but Tyler doesn't want to leave with you, and you can't force him."

"What do you mean he doesn't want to come with us? We're his family!" The man sitting across from Keaton jumped up, angrily pointing a finger. "What kind of teacher are you? Absolutely useless. Tyler, pack your things. You're coming home with us today!"

Just then, a voice came from the doorway. Fiona bit down on her candy and swallowed. Her expression was cool and collected as she walked in, exuding a presence far beyond her years.

"Tyler, morning study session is over. Aren't you hungry?" Fiona asked, deadpan.

Tyler instinctively turned and replied, "Hungry."

"Then why are you still here? Go get some breakfast," Fiona said with a dismissive wave.

While everyone was left confused, Tyler was already following Fiona almost out the door. At the last moment, the woman claiming to be Tyler's aunt grabbed his sleeve, her face twisted with anger.

"Tyler, what's with this attitude? Your uncle and I came all this way, and this is how

you treat us? Don't you have any sense of family?"

"Do you have any idea how much we spent to get here? We shelled out hundreds just to see you, and even took three days off work, losing money. And who are we doing this for? For you." en

As she spoke the woman straightened up and shot a glare at Fiona, only to notice Fiona's designer outfit. She recognized from the mall; even though it was just sportswear, it was worth thousands!

This girl has money!

The woman's eyes lit up as she grabbed Fiona's hand, pulling her away from Tyler and stepping forward with a beaming smile.

"You're Tyler's classmate, right? You've got such an air about you. Our Tyler's had

a tough time, but with a friend like you, I'm sure he's doing well."

Fiona, disgusted by the woman's grip, furrowed her brow and pulled her hand back, noting the red marks left behind.

How strong was this woman!

Tyler noticed the marks too and immediately stepped in front of Fiona, glaring at the woman and enunciating each word: "My life is none of your business!"noveldrama
