Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1138

Why did it suddenly seem like Flora's story had layers no one had peeled back yet? Kylie’s heart raced as she clenched her fists tighter. A gun... Flora actually had a gun! With Mike previously standing up for Flora, the pieces started falling into place. She must have some serious connections, maybe tied to a bigwig family from Lone Island.

But Jenna wasn’t worried. She was a legit heiress from one of those families. If Flora dared to step on her toes, she’d regret it big time.

“So, you’ve got a gun, huh?” Jenna’s voice dripped with sarcasm as she slowly regained her composure. “Think you can pull the trigger on me?”

Flora, with a casual twirl of the gun in her right hand, locked eyes with Jenna, a hint of mischief in her gaze.

And then, with deliberate slowness, she raised the gun, its dark barrel now aimed straight at Jenna.

“Ms. Flora...” Mike looked like he’d seen a ghost.

Jenna scoffed, “You really think you can shoot me? Go on, I dare you!”

“Flora, I’m the Lady of the Lone Island family, not someone you can mess with lightly. You, from Austenberg, even if you’re a world champ, what does that get you? Lay a finger on me, and you, along with every Austenberg person here, will regret it!”

Flora listened with a cool detachment, her finger poised on the trigger. And then—she squeezed it.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang—”

The gunshots shattered the silence, leaving everyone shell-shocked. No one thought Flora would actually fire, not even Jenna.

They stood frozen, watching Jenna's body jerk as it was riddled with holes.

The first shot shattered Jenna’s left knee. The second, the bones in her left hand.

And with Selene caught up in this mess, connected in some way, Flora had to teach Jenna a painful lesson.

“Flora!” Jenna’s voice was ragged with agony. She felt like her bones were dust, and even if they were put back together, her dreams of medicine and marksmanship were shattered.

“Ah!” She screamed, eyes wide and wild with rage, “Flora! You’ll pay for this! My family won’t let you off the hook! You, your family, and everyone from Austenberg—I’ll make sure you all pay! You’ll curse the day you crossed me!”

Flora just chuckled, unfazed.

“Let’s see who comes out the other side worse off.”

When it came to backing, Flora had never lost that game.
