Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1208

"Flora, you're out of the running—not just this time, but for good. The Schuler family’s right to bring in new talent is gone, and their status as the top family is stripped away too."

Brandon's lips trembled, his mind buzzing with disbelief. What kind of future could a family have if they couldn't bring in fresh faces? Especially with the premier family assessment—every three years, families in the Martial World get ranked, and those at the top enjoy the best resources. Now, without even the chance to compete, they're automatically at the bottom of the barrel.

The Schuler family was done for!

Zavier was just as shaken, and the other family heads exchanged worried glances. The punishment from FUND felt way too harsh.

It seemed like Jonathan had some personal connection to Flora, and everything he did was to back her up.

"Take them away for their punishment," Jonathan ordered.

Brandon and Zavier were like lifeless statues, and with Jonathan's command, four people stepped forward to escort them to the Enforcement Division. Once the dust settled, Jonathan was about to leave.

"Jonathan..."

One brave family head called out.

"With the Schuler family out of the picture, does this mean we have a shot now?"

"Yeah, yeah, Jonathan! Since the Schuler family dropped the ball, it should be our turn! Let the Gomez family handle it, we won’t trouble everyone else!"

Charles puffed up, trying to sound noble.

"Shameless! Why should your family get it? Going by rankings, it should be mine!"

"Why stick to rankings? If it's about wealth and clout, my family is at the top! This should be our task!"

Mostly because...

He wasn't in a position to decide where Flora would go.

Jonathan then walked off and called Connor. "Boss."

He quickly laid out the situation in the Martial World. Connor took a moment before responding.

"Give the spot to the Gilbert family."

Among all the families, only the Gilbert family stood out to him. Not because they were particularly strong—they were pretty average—but because of their solid morals and their quirky habit: fierce loyalty, always carrying a brick, no matter their age or gender.

After hanging up, Connor let Flora know she'd be joining the Gilbert family. Flora just shrugged it off.
