Favo Novel
Chapter 77
The next day, before school was out, Carina sent Flom a message to meet at the school gates.
By the time Flora arrived, Carina and the others were already there.
A large crowd had gathered, mostly from Class A, along with some students from other classes who were close to Carina.
There was one from Class Z, May, who often spoke up for Jennifer With Jennifer gone, she quickly latched onto Carina.
“Flora!” Carina waved to her upon seeing her.
Flora had to admit she admired Carina. After their last embarrassing fallout, she could still act as if nothing had happened.
“Carina, why did you even invite her?”
“Yeah, bad luck!”
Carina’s close friends frowned upon seeing Flora, making no secret of their annoyance.
“She’s here now, so let’s just drop it.”
Her words made it seem like Flora had eagerly shown up on her own initiative.
“You’re too kind. You’re nice to everyone, but you should know some people are just bad to the bone. No matter how nice you are to them, they’ll turn around and bite you hard!”
“Let’s just grab a taxi. It’s not easy to find one at this hour.”
“No need for a taxi.” Canina smiled, “A limo will come to pick us up”
“Limo service, wow!”
Everyone was surprised.
About five minutes later, eight luxury cars neatly parked at the entrance. Let’s hop in, everyone.”
Everyone’s jaws nearly dropped.
“You mean these are the rides picking us up!”
“Wow, Carina, you’re living large!”
“Heavens, a Porsche 911. I’ve only seen those on TV!”
“And a Maserati MCI Those cost a fortunel”
“It’s nothing.”
Carina smiled, “These aren’t my cars. They belong to a friend who knew it was my birthday and arranged a special pickup for us.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“What kind of friend? A boyfriend, perhaps?”
“Don’t be indiculous” Carina’s cheeks turned slightly red. “Just a friend,”
Everyone smirked.
The luxury cars all belonged to Wade. Recently, he had been looking for her frequently. Although their relationship hadn’t taken the final step, it was getting there.
May suddenly laughed. “Carina, you’re always so low–key. This reminds me of Flora’s fiancé we saw at the theater that day.”
“What, Flora has a fiancé?”
“Yes.” May said mockingly, “He was driving some beat–up, no–name brand car, probably worth a few thousand at most.”
May became more animated, “He dressed like he was penniless. Can you believe what he brought as a gift for their first meeting? A bag of no–brand snacks. How embarrassing it was to even present that!”
Everyone was shocked at May’s description
Flora’s family was considered well–off among them. How could she end up with such a boyfriend?
But it certainly satisfied their vanity to a great extent.
“Flora, how could you choose such a boyfriend? At least find someone presentable,”
“Ha ha ha, snacks as a first meeting gift, that’s too stingy, hilarious.”
“With Flora’s notorious reputation, who from a well–matched family would want to marry her? Of course, she’d end up with some poor
guy
Carina remained silent but was puzzled
Flora’s fiancé was supposed to be Connor, the most prestigious man in Cedarvale. She guessed May might have misunderstood something, but naturally, she wouldn’t speak up for Flora.
Flora looked at May, a smirk forming, “What did you expect for a first meeting gift? A mansion? Luxury cars?”
She paused, then added slowly. “That would be a different price.“,
Everyone there was no fool and caught the insinuation in Flora’s words. May’s face turned red with anger, shouting, “Flora, what did you? say!”
“What, hit a nerve, did 17”
“You!”
“Flora, have you no shame? You’re still a student. Are you here for the birthday party or just to disgust us?”
“It seems I’m not welcome here, so I’ll leave.”
Flora shrugged and was about to walk away when Carina quickly grabbed her. “Alright, alright, for my birthday’s sake, let’s not fight anymore. Let’s get in the cars.”
Flora knew Carina wouldn’t let her leave so easily. Seeing these cars, she guessed Carina must have snagged a wealthy suitor, and this was all a show of extravagance.
Why would she let Flora leave without making her point?
