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

The Next Day

News of Megan's expulsion spread like wildfire. It was the kind of story that was neither a small whisper nor a massive scandal, yet it had everyone talking.

By lunchtime, a juicy rumor overtook the school, even catching the attention of the education board. Megan hadn't just framed people; she had also used her position as a teacher to scam parents into paying extra fees, claiming it was for their kids' academic improvement. Those who didn't pay found their children shoved to the back of the classroom, quite literally.

It wasn't until these parents grasped the gravity of the situation and begged for mercy that their kids were allowed back into the fold. On top of that, Megan had started her own tutoring service, raking in cash, while families without connections suffered under her schemes. Naturally, such serious issues caught the education

board's eye.

In the meantime, Tyler's true talents were unveiled, and the whole school buzzed with surprise. Who would have thought a genius would emerge from the class everyone thought was underperforming?

"Guess we can't call them the underdogs anymore; they've got a genius in their ranks now."noveldrama

"Think Tyler might be the next big thing, like that top scorer Ethan from twenty years ago?"

"Who knows? It's just the first test. Anything could happen from here."

After lunch, Fiona made her way to the school's entrance, only to find reporters swarming the place. She could see officials from the education board heading inside.

Megan was led out of the school, looking like a shadow of her former self, as though the life had been drained out of her. Once proud and untouchable, she now hid her face from the cameras, knowing her downfall was complete.

As she brushed past Fiona and her friends, Megan suddenly turned, her eyes burning with malice as she glared at Fiona. Fiona stood there, casually munching on a bag of chips, her demeanor cool and detached.

"It was you, wasn't it? You witch! You set me up!" Megan spat, her face twisted with rage, ready to lash out.

Fiona, who was more than a whiz with computers, must have been the one to report her. How else could all those hidden scams come to light? It was a brilliant

move.

Cracking her knuckles with a calm air, Fiona glanced at Megan, "Think whatever you want."

Fiona's calmness only intensified Megan's fury, making her want to lash out.

"You'll get what's coming to you! You won't have a happy ending!" Megan hissed through gritted teeth.

Fiona just smiled back. Whether or

not her own story had a happy

ending was yet to be seen, but Megan's future was certainly bleak. Stripped of her teaching license and facing serious charges, she was in for a rough ride.

Back in the classroom, Tyler tossed Fiona a bag of chips. Just as she took a bite, her phone vibrated. It was a message from the city's

hospital director, asking to meet.

Curious, Fiona crunched on a chip and replied with a simple "Okay."

"Thanks for what you did," Tyler said, flashing a smile that revealed his charming

dimples, making him look especially endearing.

Fiona's unwavering belief in him hadn't gone unnoticed.

"You've earned it," she replied with a

grin. "Top of the class-quite the

achievement. Here's a little

something to celebrate." She placed

a luxury watch in front of

Tyler.

Nearby, Nash watched, nearly tearing up with envy. Why did Tyler get a gift just

for acing the test?
