Chapter 1309
Sydney hesitated a moment before opening her eyes. The first thing she noticed was a pair of long, slender legs. As her gaze traveled upward... "Flora!"
Upon seeing that breathtakingly beautiful face, Sydney's eyes widened in shock. In that moment, it felt like her blood turned to ice and her bones went cold.
It was her...
Really her!
The woman was leaning comfortably against a man, her eyes lifting slightly to meet Sydney's with a piercing, emotionless gaze that seemed to cut straight to the soul.
In that instant, everything clicked for Sydney. She finally understood why her brother was locked up by the Enforcement Division, why she had been tossed out by them, and why Jonathan had been hanging around the Irving family. Flora was the woman behind the Enforcement Division!
"Surprised to see me?"
Flora's smile was icy, her expression chillier than a winter's night. She stepped out of Connor's embrace, approaching Sydney with an air of superiority, a chilling smile playing on her lips. "You've got some nerve messing with my family."
Still reeling from the shock of discovering Flora's true identity, Sydney was left speechless, her face drained of color, her lips trembling.
Flora's expression turned dark, the trace of a smile disappearing. She suddenly kicked Sydney hard in the chest. Sydney let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground.
Flora nonchalantly pressed her foot onto Sydney's face, watching as she trembled in pain. She spoke slowly, "Didn't I warn you not to cross me? My family is off-limits. You dared to harm them. Do you have a death wish?"
"It's all your fault!" Sydney's face was half-buried in the dirt. She knew Flora would never let her go, so there was no point in begging. She shouted her grievances, "You got me kicked out of the Medical Hall, made me a laughingstock in the Martial World, turned my life upside down! You started all this!"
"I only regret not actually destroying your family! Flora, people like you are a curse! Everyone you care about, everyone who cares about you, will pay the price!"novelbin
"Unrepentant even now." Flora leaned down, her cold eyes sweeping over Sydney's disheveled face. "You don't have the power to touch my family, but I know how to handle yours. Your family will suffer because of your foolishness. Want to know their fate?" Her voice was calm and cool, yet it felt like it echoed menacingly in Sydney's mind.
Sydney looked at her in horror. "What are you planning to do to my family?"
"Just a taste of your own medicine. Whatever you intended for my father and brothers, I'll do to yours."
"You witch!" Sydney roared in desperation.
"You're the fool," Flora said with a soft chuckle, her eyes colder than ever, almost freezing. "Are you Tara's puppet, following her orders, letting her use you, only to end up with your family destroyed?"
Hearing Tara's name, Sydney snapped her gaze to Flora, shocked that Flora even knew about Tara's involvement. Tara had used her...
Sydney remembered when Tara
approached her, speaking in riddles. At that time, her sole focus was on taking Flora down, not realizing the trap she was walking into. Now, it was all clear.
Tara had deliberately sought her out, mentioning Flora's father and brothers.

"Hahaha! Flora, you've got more enemies than just me! Tara is the Roth family's golden girl. Do you dare to touch her? Can you?" Sydney laughed wildly, "Even with the Enforcement Division behind you, without evidence, you can't touch her! Without your family's backing, you've got nothing against Tara! Nothing! I'll be waiting for you to end up like me!"
She didn't even resent Tara for using her, almost relishing the fact that Flora had an enemy like Tara.
Clearly, she'd lost her mind.
No point arguing with someone so far gone.
"Connor, let's leave."
"Alright."
Connor wrapped his arm gently around her waist, guiding her out, giving the guards a knowing look. "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her off easily. You know what to do." "Yes," the guards nodded respectfully.
