In the villa, as soon as Flora got back, her phone buzzed with a call from Mr. Tanner.
His voice was dripping with worry, "Flora, you nearly gave us a heart attack this time. Who knew you had
connections with the big four families?" "Just the basics," Flora replied casually.
Mr. Tanner was momentarily speechless. This girl, no hint of humility!
"Is it someone from the Austenbergs?" Amanda asked, handing Flora a glass of water as she noticed her on the
phone.
""Yep," Flora nodded.
Amanda thought for a moment and suggested, "Tell him that from now on, the Austenbergs get two spots each
year for advanced studies at Lone Island. If they do well, they might becchief physicians in the major
families."

She admired how the Austenbergs stood by Flora, even challenging the medical base for her sake. Previously, it
was the Whites who called the shots in the medical field, but now the Falcones and Reyes were in control. Picking
two candidates was as easy as pie. Amanda spoke openly, so her words were crystal clear to Mr. Tanner on the
other end of the line.
"Wow!" Mr. Tanner's shock was palpable, and Flora could tell he heard everything. Perfect. No need for her to go
over it again.
"Got it?" she asked lazily.
"Got it!" Mr. Tanner snapped back to reality, catching a glimpse of a woman beside Flora through the video call.
"Is that Mrs. Falcone? You-"
"No need for formalities with me," Amanda cut him off. "I'm doing this just for Flora."
Mr. Tanner swallowed his words. Fair enough. No point in saying more. After all, they were basking in Flora's glow.
"Anything else?" Flora was practically spelling out that she was done with the call.
"No-" But before he could finish, Flora had already hung up swiftly.
Mr. Tanner stared at his now-dark
phone, feeling a mix of annoyance and excitement. This girl! But thinking about those two coveted spots at Lone
Island for the
Austenbergs each year had hin
rubbing his hands with anticipation.
No other country had this perk. Let them be green with envy! This would be a huge boost for the
Austenbergs' medical advancement.
After the call, Flora was whisked upstairs by Ethan for a game, which they cleared effortlessly. It wasn't until
dinner tthat Ethan finally let her go. Dinner was ready and set on the table.
"Hungry?" Connor asked as Flora

around her waist with ease. "The guests will be here soon, but if you'r
hungry, | can get you a
snack." en
"Bro, I'm starving!" Ethan chimed in, rubbing his stomach. He'd been the loudest cheerleader during the game,
thankfully the room was soundproof, or Amanda would have given him an earful. He didn't feel hungry earlier,
but now it hit him hard.
"There are fruits on the table, help yourself."
Connor's tone was indifferent, a complete 180 from how he treated Flora. Ethan zipped it, sulking as he grabbed
an apple to munch on. "Expecting someone?" Flora tilted her head, curious.
"Yep," Connor nodded, checking his watch and smiling. "They're here."
He went to open the door himself, and Flora's eyes lit up when she saw the two people entering with Moss. She
dashed over eagerly, "Dad, bro!" "Hey!" Raul and Henrik beamed, ruffling Flora's hair affectionately.
