Chapter 269
Just hearing that name made Flora’s eyes flare with even more anger. It’s her again!
“What do you want to do about it?” Connor asked quietly, waiting for Flora’s response.
Massaging her wrists, Flora’s voice was heavy. “Connor, can you do one more thing for me?”
It was time to show her father who Carina really was.
Twenty minutes later, Flora walked into the hospital room holding a folder. She handed it to Raul. “Dad, take a look at this.”
Sensing the seriousness in Flora’s eyes, Raul took the folder and started reading. His expression grew darker with each page until his hands, clutching the folder, began to tremble and turned pale.
“Bastard!” Raul roared, hurling the folder to the floor. “Carina!”
Overcome with rage, Raul began to cough violently. Connor, who had already prepared a glass of water, handed it to him.
Raul clutched his chest, struggling to catch his breath.

Henrik picked up the folder from the floor and skimmed through it. The documents clearly laid out Carina’s misdeeds. She had been colluding with the Brimer family, plotting against the Irving family and Flora. Even the recent car accident was her doing.
Henrik, already familiar with Carina’s character, showed no surprise at the contents of the file. Raul, on the other hand, was heartbroken. He had never been fond of Carina’s ways, but she was still his niece. He had never mistreated her over the years. Even after he had driven her out of the Irving family, he had sent a caretaker to look after her properly.
In the end, he had been nurturing a viper in his midst.
Raul closed his eyes, feeling the wind pick up outside. The curtains fluttered, and a cool breeze brushed against his back.
“Do whatever you think is necessary,” Raul said, his voice heavy yet resolute. He was clear in his conscience.
Flora knew that Raul valued family above all else and must be feeling incredibly hurt. She and Connor left the hospital room, giving him some time alone.
As for Carina, Flora already had a plan.
On the eve of the exams, Carina had hired someone to hit her, all to prevent her from taking the exam. Flora intended to return the favor.
The sweltering summer heat rolled in, and with it, the highly anticipated exams. The first day was stifling and overcast, adding to the oppressive atmosphere as if something big was about to happen.
Flora and Kaylee were both at Westbrook High School, their designated exam center, while Alex and Dane went to other locations. Connor, Raul, and Henrik all came to see them off.
Flora and Kaylee entered the school together but were assigned to different buildings. As they parted, Kaylee hugged Flora.
“Good luck, Flora.”
Flora gently patted her back, wishing her luck in return.
Carina’s exam room was in the same building as Flora’s, even on the same floor. She had been on edge, fearing the driver might expose her, but two days had passed since the accident, and the police had not come for her. Carina sighed in relief.
If Flora had known it was her doing, she would have confronted her by now. It wasn’t like her to hold back.
After the first day of the exams ended without incident, Carina was fully at ease.
