Chapter 28. Jumping Buddy

As the music ended, Flora stepped back, creating distance between herself and the loathsome man. Her face a mask of frosty indifference, she spat out two words: "Boring."

With that, she turned on her heel and strode away.

Behind her, a dark voice echoed: "Flora, if you dare to cheat on me... be prepared to face the consequences."

Matthew was never a man of virtue, he wouldn't accept sitting idly by while being cuckolded.

Fate is a curious thing. Sometimes one strives to distance oneself from another, but fate stubbornly pushes them back together.

Flora left the grand ballroom filled with harmonious music and laughter of strangers, heading straight for the flower garden at the back. The forced smiles on those people's faces made her nauseous.

"Release me first! If someone sees us now..." A familiar voice echoed in a teasing manner.

Selena? Flora squinted from behind the bushes where she hid, looking at the standing Selena. She was not alone.
