Chapter 1235
Here we go!
Flora was just about to step into the Medical Hall, her foot hovering over the threshold when-
"Hold it right there!"
Sydney's sharp voice cut through the tension as she moved swiftly to block Flora's path.
Jonathan's face turned grim. He was right there, and yet Sydney had the nerve to stop Flora again. Did she not realize he was standing right there? How on earth did Kenneth end up engaged to someone like her? "Jonathan, I get where you're coming from, which is why I tried to be respectful earlier. But things have changed. Flora can't go into the Medical Hall because she=" Sydney locked eyes with Flora, her words dropping like stones: "Is a thief!"
"You're the thief here!" Jacob shouted, outraged. First, they were barred from entering, and now they're calling Flora a thief? Did they think they were just easy targets? "Calling Flora a thief, are you out of your mind? Need me to book you an appointment with a neurologist?" Carly's eyes were blazing with anger, too.
"Flora, a thief?" Jonathan was floored. Accusing the woman his boss favored of being a thief? Was Sydney's brain on vacation?
If Flora wanted something like that, all it would take was a word to the boss, and she'd have a whole stash.
Sydney nodded decisively, "Yes, Flora is a thief. If you don't believe me, have her pull the medallion out of her pocket. It's the same one I lost at last week's auction!"
"Flora, dare you show it?" Sydney lifted her chin, dead certain she'd seen the medallion peeking from Flora's pocket.
Though how it ended up with Flora was a mystery, its presence there could only mean one thing: she stole it!
"What medallion nonsense? Flora doesn't have it!" Jacob bellowed.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Flora stayed cool as a cucumber: "The medallion, I have it."
Jacob: "......"
"But, this one's not yours."
Sydney let out a laugh of disbelief:
"Do you
have any idea how exclusive
the Medical Hall is? Or what a
medallion from there means in the
Martial World?"
"So you're saying this medallion
isn't
mine? Are you telling me someone
else gave it to you? You're
the Martial World; does that
seem likely?"
"Wow, Flora, a thief! Stealing my sister's stuff, Jonathan, you better arrest Flora right now!" Teddy shouted, all hyped up.
Jonathan shot him a look like he was off his rocker.
"Even if she's got a medallion, what
of it? Flora said it's not yours! Maybe
someone else gifted it!" Ja

quickly jumped to back her
Sydney chuckled, "Gifted by someone else, huh? Then tell me, who gave it to you?"
Who would gift a medallion to someone fresh in the Martial World? The whole thing seemed laughable.
"I did. Got a problem with that?"
Sydney's laughter was cut short.
A commanding, aged voice drifted from the crowd.
The familiar voice made Sydney freeze. She spun around to see Corbyn...
He stood amidst the crowd, his eyes-deep and cold-locked on her. Who knew when he'd arrived or how much he'd overheard... Sydney's blood ran cold. She scrambled to approach him, her steps stumbling.
"Master, when did you get here? You..."
"If I hadn't shown up, how else would I find out that you're running the Medical Hall now?"
Corbyn let out a chilling laugh, dodging her attempt to touch him. With Amos's help, he made his way over to Flora.
