WebNovelChapter 1153
Andrew set down his fountain pen, pausing for a moment before suddenly popping the question, "So, is Flora
really tied up with Lone Island?"
Flora was his nemesis, no doubt about it. First, she embarrassed him on the island, turning him into the
laughingstock of all the big players, and then she made off with Selene. That stunt dropped his medical
organization to an unprecedented third place in this year's league. The higher-ups were not pleased, and he was
getting all sorts of side-eye from them.
Mr. Atticus couldn't stand the mere mention of Flora's name. It was like a sour note in his day.
Taking a deep breath, Mr. Atticus replied, "Seems like it. Flora's got sstrong ties with the four major
families."
Flora was tight with Crimson. If they went after Club 257, Flora would undoubtedly step in to defend it. Andrew
didn't see Flora, just a young girl, as much of a threat, but Lone Island was a different story.

Andrew mulled it over, "Alright, let's hold off on Club 257 for now."
Mr. Atticus nodded, understanding Andrew's strategy, his gaze growing more contemplative. The girl he once
underestimated had beca force the medical base needed to reckon with.
"Oh, and by the way," Andrew added, "I remember Flora's got a dad and sbrothers, just ordinary folks from
Austenberg. Keep tabs on them."
If Flora was going to be a thorn in the side of the medical organization, her family might just be her weak spot.
"Got it," Mr. Atticus agreed, a shrewd glint in his eyes.
Flora's birthday rolled around, and the medical base went all out. They strung up banners wishing her the best
for her twentieth birthday, gave everyone a day off, and even the cafeteria served up free meals all day. The
chefs pulled out all the stops, and the food was way better than usual!
Since everyone had already received gifts from Karter, they felt the need to return the favor. Flora found herself
drowning in presents all day long.
The day got even crazier when someone organized a birthday concert right in the square. Flora wandered over
to see folks performing martial arts, singing, and even pulling off magic tricksdt was quite the spectacle.
The square was decked out like it was hosting a festive wedding celebration, streamers and all. Flora just
chuckled to herself and slipped away.
Even Selene got in on the action, handing Flora a gift with a cheeky grin. "I only just found out today's your
birthday, so I threw together something simple. Hope you like it!"
Flora took it, her smile warm and genuine.
In the Club 257 chat group, things were buzzing with birthday wishes. Kaylee, Cecelia, Jules, and more were
lighting up her phone with messages.
Crimson chinged in: "Flora darling, if
you weren't stuck at the medical

base, and back in Austenberg instead, we'd throw you a birthday bash like no other. Our girl's twentieth deserves
nothing less."
Flora sent back a relaxed emoji, letting them know she appreciated the thought.
Meanwhile, Kruz and Adrian, who rarely got to be online, were deep in the jungle with their faces covered in
vibrant camouflage. "Flora! Happy Birthday! We're skipping the
ver
gifts too cliché. But we've already sent you scash~"
"Hey sis, happy birthday! You're officially in your twenties now!"
"Also, watch out for Connor!" Adrian whispered conspiratorially. "You're legal now, according to Austenberg law!
Don't let that guy swipe your registry book and drag you off to the altar!" Adrian definitely didn't want his sister
rushing into marriage.
"Adrian, who are you calling out?" Kruz playfully smacked him on the head. "Sure, my brother can be a bit much,
but that's no way to talk! He's not that desperate!"
