Kylie's knees felt like jelly the moment she spotted Flora-her mind flooded with the image of Flora, calm as ever, firing those ten shots at Jenna. Flora was like a force of nature! But soon enough, she'd face the music for her overconfidence. The River and Land families,

not to mention the Nevilles, were all here. Even with Kruiz in her corner, Flora was out of luck.

As these thoughts raced through Kylie's head, she noticed Ethan striding over to Flora, his face lighting up with joy. "Flora!" he greeted her warmly. It had been ages since he'd last seen her, and he had missed her like crazy. Linking his arm through Flora's, he tossed a quick nod to Connor, "Hey, bro."

Connor gave a subtle nod in return.

Wait, what? Big sister, Flora?! Kylie's mind went blank. Everyone around seemed equally stunned. What was happening?

Why would the heiress of the Falcone family call Flora her big sister?

Amanda and Karter broke into smiles when they saw Flora. "Flora," they greeted warmly.

"Uncle, Mrs. Falcone," Flora returned the smiles. "What brings you all here?"

Karter gently ruffled her hair. "As the Reyes family's heiress, you've been having a rough time here, so of course, we had to come check on you."

Amanda chuckled, her eyes scanning the room. "Our future daughter-in-law of the Falcone family, we treasure her more than anything, and she's been getting mistreated here."

Her words sent shivers down everyone's spines, especially when she mentioned "daughter-in-law." It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck!

"Holy cow! Flora's the Reyes family's heiress and the future daughter-in-law to the Falcones? Am I dreaming?" someone muttered.

"I always thought Flora was just some nobody from Austenberg..."

"If that's true, Jenna isn't even fit to shine Flora's shoes! Jenna's just a side branch of the Neville family, while Flora belongs to one of the big four!"

Panic spread among those who'd

badmouthed Flora, fearing she'd

come after them, especially the folks from the medical organization, whe looked close to tears. If they'd knoweh her true status, they wouldn't have dared to cross her, not even

With a hundred lifetimes' worth of

courage!

"Flora, she..." Luiz was at a loss for words. So Flora was from one of the big four families all along, no wonder Selene wasn't worried a bit... Flora's background was so powerful, it was indescribable!

Kylie was trembling, her teeth

chattering from fear. No wonder! It made perfect sense now why the River and Land families appeared suddenly at the medical base they weren't there for Jenna, but for Flora!

She had even entertained the idea of sucking up to the River and Land families to become the chief physician...

The more she thought about it, the more violently she trembled, turning to flee!

But before she could take a step, Ethan's look was enough for Beck to grab her by the collar and toss her to the floor.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Ethan asked with a smile that was anything but innocent.

"I, I..." Kylie stammered, breaking out in a cold sweat, realizing they were here to settle scores with her.

"You're Kylie, right?" Ethan crouched to meet her eyes. "Seems like you've got guts, insulting my Flora in public, huh?" "No, no, that's not it..." she stuttered.

"I heard you wanted to join the ranks

of the prestigious families as a chief physician," Ethan chuckled. "Well, that's not happening anymore. You're not just barred from

prestigious circles; you're done here

at the medical base too. Get lost."

Kylie was in disbelief as Ethan unceremoniously ousted her from the medical base. She shook like a leaf, knowing that being expelled would tarnish her record, and even high-level labs wouldn't touch her!
